Thistle

Thistle is a food and nutrition delivery service founded in 2013, serving customers across the United States. The company supplies fully prepared meals, snacks, desserts and organic cold-pressed juices made from real, whole foods. It began as an off-hours side project producing cold-pressed juices, which remain one of its product lines.

Its meal delivery business offers ready-to-eat meals built around seasonal, restaurant-inspired menus formulated by nutritionists with reference to protein, fibre, vitamin, mineral and macronutrient requirements. The meals are plant-forward and dairy-free, are made without gluten-containing ingredients, use organic produce where possible, and are available with plant-based, meat and vegan protein options. Snacks and desserts are delivered alongside meals.

The company's work spans nutrition science, culinary and menu development, food production, cold-pressed juice production and supply-chain sustainability. It states a mission focused on human health and environmental sustainability, and reports commitments to locally and sustainably sourced ingredients, lower-impact supply-chain practices, and partnerships with community organisations.
