Nybll Eat to Win while Safe-at-Home
Executive Chef Kristen Thibeault, a stage-3, double cancer survivor, credits her plant-based “Stealth Health” cuisine for her speedy recovery. Her illness experience reinvigorated her culinary interests, and inspired her to prepare and heal others with her healthy fare. She studied Nutritional Science at Stanford University and graduated with a culinary degree from Le Cordon Bleu. This talented chef later became a nationally recognized vegan chef in 2012, and is a certified sports nutritionist.
Seeking comfort while staying at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, many are turning to cooking and baking at home. But what if you don’t like to cook? Or don’t have the ingredients to make your favorite comfort food and don’t want to venture out and wait in line to buy groceries?

Ordering the 5 meals plan I received, three main entrees, one large creamy tomato bisque soup (three servings) and four different salads, including a Caribbean Superfood salad with Jerk shrimp. Every ingredient is listed on the label. The coconut flakes, plantains, kale, carrots, and orange juice marinated shrimp was a nice balance of earthiness and sweetness. This was one of the many delicious, healthy and comforting meals I enjoyed for a week. The entire container had 433 calories, 16.9 grams of fat, 27.4 grams of carbs and 25.6 grams of protein.
One of the delicious entrees was a citrus roasted salmon with brown rice and navy beans and roasted carrots container. On the label it described how this dish is gluten-free, dairy-free, egg -free, nut-free, soy-free and shellfish-free. The container of food offered 528 calories; 12.9 grams of fat; 60.9 grams of carbs and 37.5 grams of protein.
The salmon was cooked perfectly and had a pleasing lemon zest topping. The carrots offered a hint of sweetness due to their freshness and agave and orange juice. Herbs used to make this meal have a zing included basil, Italian parsley and mint.
Chef Kristen is creatively producing approximately 5,000 meals daily, and over 150+ menu themes. Theme night meals to look forward to include German Biergarten, Vegan DIY nacho bar and Jamaican meals.
