Rachel Drori Rachel Drori is the Founder + CEO of the Daily Harvest, a food company on a mission to improve human and planetary health.

Queens Rachel Drori started the frozen food delivery service Daily Harvest in 2015, funding it with $25,000 from her savings. She started making smoothies on weekends in a commercial kitchen leased in Queens, paying her teenage nephews $20 a night to deliver them in Manhattan.

In November 2021, Daily Harvest raised $100 million from private investors at a $1.1 billion valuation; Drori owns an estimated 35% stake. Celebrity investors include Gwyneth Paltrow, Serena Williams, snowboarder Shaun White and chef Bobby Flay.

Seven weeks after the complaints began, Daily Harvest issued a recall on the product that caused side effects including nausea, vomiting, and liver damage due to the ingredient tara flour, according to NPR.

But it's not smoke and mirrors - the products are made with ingredients that are actually good for you. Daily Harvest ensures every product is all-natural and plant-based. “We use nothing but real food, and never use additives, preservatives, or fillers.” Which is great.

Rachel Drori went from making smoothies for herself (and freezing them for later) and her friends and family to launching plant-based frozen meal delivery service Daily Harvest in 2015. Turns out that plenty of others want the same.

Daily Harvest is on a mission to make it really easy to eat more fruits + vegetables every day. From seed to plate, we're committed to a better food system, one that prioritizes human and planetary health. We are transforming what we eat, what we grow, and how we grow it - one crop (and box) at a time.

A handful of lawsuits have been filed against the company, alleging Daily Harvest was negligent in oversight of its products and in adequately warning people about the crumbles. Daily Harvest has denied the allegations.

Each year, Daily Harvest inches closer and closer to our goal of 100% sustainable materials (compostable, recyclable, or post-consumer recyclable (PCR)) for our packaging, cases, coverings, and whatever else our food touches.

Because you get to choose the items in each shipment, Daily Harvest is also a good choice if you're looking for easy breakfasts, lunches, or snacks to enjoy throughout the week. However, each meal contains just one serving, so Daily Harvest is not a great option for families.

That's why I love Daily Harvest – it's convenience, customizable, fast, easy, and they have ingredients you can see (they're also listed on the cup!) They're frozen, so the ingredients always taste fresh and everything I've tried has been delicious, even if it's not by typical flavor preference.

Core Values Sustainability: Daily Harvest is committed to reducing its environmental impact through responsible sourcing, packaging, and operations. Convenience: Daily Harvest values convenience and accessibility, making it easy for customers to enjoy healthy meals on-the-go.
