Shape Lovers

Every time i have had to lose some weight and want delicious, home cooked meals i do this plan. Not only is it convenient but the food is really delicious. A lot of typical Cuban and Latin flavours without the guilt.
Highly recommend it!

Wow I tried almost every delivery service available in my area of Miami this is by FAR the best. When I put the food on a plate and microwave it I feel like it’s a home cooked meal. I am pregnant with twins and have a one year old so I was looking for something easy and to add calories to my diet. The food is amazinggggggg. Today I am eating the brisket and it’s seriously the best brisket I’ve ever had. The desserts are delicious also even though they are sugar free. So excited for more meals next week :-) my one year old likes it too!

I have been using the service for more than a month already, so far so good.
They send all the menus for next week on a TUESDAY, and if you need to make any changes either substitute or address you can do it the day before.
The food is very tasty, and they are always at my house on time (around 8:30am).
If you hate cooking as much as I do, I truly recommend this!

They have some nice options and variety and the desserts for the low-​caloric count are often really yummy. I’ve used their catering options a few times, too. The holiday roast pork was super tasty and we froze a portion to eat for future meals.
I am upset that I was told (as another reviewer said here) that I just had to call by Wednesday when the «next week’s menu» was visible online or Thursday to give my order for the NEXT WEEK. However, when I called on a Wednesday, I had already been charged 100 bucks for a week I had not wanted. How can they charge a customer when they can’t see the menu to decide if they like it? That’s a BAD policy. If a customer must call my Monday or Tuesday, then the next week’s menu should be up by Sunday or Monday so the customer can make a proper decision. I still have the 100 bucks sitting there more than a month later… maybe use it for catering instead of weekly meals, because I just don’t think it makes sense to charge BEFORE the new menu gives customers a heads up to whether they will enjoy the next week’s food or not.
Portions are small (so you can lose weight). Even my picky hubby likes some of the pork, chicken, and beef options. They do substitute for some meals.
I hope they have a Gluten Free plan in future (ie, substitute pasta and leave flour out of certain dishes and offer flans or non-​cake dessert subs). I had them substitute rice for pastas and that worked out well.
So, food is pretty nice, but payment policy is wonky. They should reassess so it’s more customer friendly (again, could be done by having next week’s menu up on Sunday/​Monday.)

I’ve enrolled in Shape Lovers’ lunch meal plan for almost two weeks now and I am so pleased with their fast service and professionalism. My lunch arrives early (around 9am) very neatly packaged and its FRESH !! I love it! I had a meal plan with Healthy Xpress but they were a huge fail. The reps were not as courteous and food was not as fresh, and at time I had two meals in one setting meaning that I had to carry around my lunch for the next day ?? What if I didn’t have a fridge or did not go home that day, ugh! It was a disaster! Anyway. thanks Shape Lovers for making life so much easier. Thanks! :) Ps. Love the quality meals! Very tasty and I absolutely love the menus on the web detailing the calories amongst other things. Love! Please don’t change your excellent service :) !

Shape Lovers by far is the best nutritious food service delivery in the Miami– Dade and Broward County Area. I have been a customer for the past 18 months.
Shape Lovers offers great tasting, fresh, and nutritious food. Very nice portions and variety. Wonderful customers service. Flexibility and great delivery persons who provide timely service.
On the healthy side, since I have began eating Shape Lovers meals many of my medical issues are being resolved. Shape Lovers has helped me maintain a calorie conscious diet, while taking the guess work out of it. The food selection offers me the opportunity to eat a variety of food that I would not be able to afford on my own.
I highly recommend Shape Lovers!

Got my first week as a trial, food tasted good but I was still trying other competitors before going another week with them so I was advised to call back up to the following Wednesday if I didn’t want to pay for another week. I called that Wednesday and was told it was too late and had to actually call up to the day before instead so they went ahead and charged me for another full week, considering I still had 3 more days of meals to receive before the new round of meals charged started. At the time the given options were: 1. enjoy another week or 2. get a store credit. Refunds are ABSOLUTELY NOT an option with Shape Lovers.
On my second week I called customer service requesting the deliver to be made anytime after 10AM since I only get to work at that time and they put a note on my account although that was ignored and my food was arriving every day before that time. Luckily enough the first couple of days one of my co-​workers came in earlier and took the food inside. But Friday was the pre 4^th of July holiday so no one went to work so I called them early to either change the address or put a hold on the deliver. For my surprise customer service said it was too late and food have already been delivered (much earlier than 10am again), meaning my food was sitting at the curb all morning in a bag exposed to the 90 degrees sun, on the floor.
My advice for you that’s looking for reviews about Shape Lovers? Be prepared to find your food sitting on the Florida cement heat, no money back guarantee and surprise rules if you ask to work something out over the phone. The manager made sure they’re always right and customers never have a valid point. I wanted at least my money back for that Friday. The manager said: «We don’t work with refunds at any circumstance». With that said, be prepared to pay, have it their way and no chances of getting a dime of your money back.

I love shape lovers. I have been getting food delivered from them for about 3 months. I hate eating meals that are more than 2 days old so I don’t prep meals; I also don’t have a lot of time to cook meals in the morning when I’m working. This place is a life saver they deliver to your job or home and they don’t mind delivering to both in one day. I always change my schedule and they work well with me through it;therefore, the customer service is amazing. Thanks so much shapelovers. You guys are the bomb.

I threatened to give this place 5 stars, and here it is. This place is Heaven-​sent. I’m in my office for lunch and dinner, usually every day (sad times…), and I don’t have to think twice about where my next meal’s going to come from. I’m eating stuff I would never normally eat. The food is delicious and the service so far is great!!! I highly, highly recommend.

I am SO happy I found this place. The meals are always delivered on time and are delicious and filling. I recommend this to anyone looking for a meal delivery service.

Pros:
Great food and price,
they keep adding and improving the menu.
Food feels homemade and tasty
Price can be adjusted depending on order
Good option to control portion and eating healthier
Cons:
Not very flexible with changes on diet or menu.

Had both type of lunches bistro and not and dinner. After awhile it all gets old especially the bistro since its a set menu and if your a picky person it makes it very hard to work with. All my coworkers and I did it everyone at first fell in love with it but after awhile you start seeing a pattern with odd pairings of sauces and seasonings. One of my coworkers felt that the beef tips were always under cooked :/​oh and the prices went up in the 6months we had it twice. It’s good for those who just have no
Time to make your own meals!

The food was edible at best, It wasn’t gross, but it wasn’t enjoyable. I prefer the food from their competitor. Service was fine, I had no problem with order and delivery.

Reliable delivery, food is okay (especially for healthy food), but the prices are a bit high. I will sign up again with a Groupon.

I’m a fan! FYI: This review is for their Bistro Menu found on their website (it’s their menu that never changes and is ideal for lunch with sandwiches, wraps, and salads ranging from $ 6.75– 6.95 with nutritional information on the package and posted to their website)
I am a law student taking roughly 5 classes every semester. I also work a full-​time job. I have ZERO time for anything… this includes meal planning. Then Shape Lovers entered my life with a great deal on Living Social and I decided to give them a try.
I ordered for 3 days– a Chicken Caesar Wrap, Vietnamese Bahn Mi Chicken Sandwich, and a Pesto Chicken Salad Sandwich with Cranberries. All of them were delicious, healthy, and very filling. They tasted healthy, but in a truly yummy and satisfying way, not in that I’m-eating-cardboard kind of way. Plus, my lunch was delivered to my office by noon!
Now, I’m going to start using them regularly for lunch delivery. I just placed my order for next week! Service on the phone was polite and courteous. I was put on hold, but not for very long like some of the other reviewers complained of. Delivery for Downtown Miami is $ 6 for the week. My week total came to just under $ 40. Considering that going out anywhere in downtown is easily almost 10 bucks a day, I am going to probably save some money here and I will be eating less junk!
This is my gift to myself this year. I’m taking the stress out of some of my meal planning when I’m busy during the week, and rewarding my hard work with a healthy lunch.

Service on the phone is not that great. You get put on hold for longer than you should and the music is worse than elevator music it’s just a repeated instrumental. The food is not that great. It has no flavor and some of it just has strange spices or dressings that make it gross. It would be great if the food was labeled so I knew what I was eating instead of guessing. I wish they could deliver earlier so I could actually eat this for lunch instead of stocking up my fridge with so many little containers.

Ok i got to start by saying that even though i just cancelled my subscription to Shape Lovers, i have had a positive experience overall.
The reason i canceled was because the delivery girl has been late the past few days with my lunch.
I was on Shape Lovers for about 4 months now and i have to say it is pretty good.
The food is portion-​controlled, low fat and healthy.
You definitely know you are eating diet food, but it is pretty tasty. This is not gourmet food though, but it does its job.
They have good customer service, good prices and the convinience of eating healthy, staying in shape and not having to think about what am i going to eat for lunch at the office everyday is unbeatable!
Healthy choices for food at reasonable prices, delivered right to your office, and tasty yay!
Since it is portion controlled when you see it you’re going to think you will be left hungry but that was never the case at all. I was always satisfied.
Also they have a good variety menu and if you love vegetables like me, you will be pleased.
The downfall was that the delivery girl was late with my lunch several days in a row, i was left waiting for food until 2PM and by that time i was starving!
After calling many times, i was never offered a free meal or anything (they promise you will have your food before 2 PM), and that is why i decided to cancel and try another service.
The delivery girl was always really nice and sweet and i am sure she had many other clients in my area, and i am one to have lunch late but 2 PM was just too late for me and the cherry on top was the customer service not offering to remedy the situation like i mention before.
Other than that issue, i was pretty happy with them.
Wish me luck with the new service!

i bought the groupon for 3 days of lunch and dinner.
i called twice to try and coordinate and never got thru, i left voicemails and never got a call back. finally after a few weeks i tried again and was able to set it up.
it was that easy, select the start date, give my address and the following monday i had my food waiting for me by 9 am.
i was really impressed with the food– chicken crêpe, split pea mashed potatoes, seafood paella, sage tortellini, corn chowder, even the mixed salad was good.
the desserts left a lot to be desired, i took one bite and gave the rest to a coworker. would rather have the option to omit dessert or substitue for an additional side.
my only complaint is that the food isnt labeled at all so its either a guessing game or you have to log into their website to refresh your memory on what the food of the day is.
i can imagine that this food might get boring or redundant. sometimes you just want a burger or sub or potato chips.
but its affordable, easy, and good quality food that is ready fast.

After learning of the the business through
I went ahead and purchased three of the groupons as a means to save some time and energy and by pass cooking. I was excited to see a menu with more of a Latin spin than it’s competitors and loved that delivery was included in the groupons I purchased.
I have an energetic toddler, and two months pregnant, and run my own business from home so at the end of the day as Maria put it, the last thing we’d want to do is cook. That being said, I’d much rather cook than eat more of these meals.
The photos here are far off from what you actually receive and everything is a fusion of what was served the day before either from the lunch or dinner on the menu. The entrees all taste the same to my Husband and I — and have an over abundance of cilantro. We opted out of the desserts and asked for an extra soup. The only other option was to have an extra side dish, which is rice. The rice, all three times, was very dry and over seasoned. There were no vegetable options either. Basically the meals were meat, rice, soup, and dessert. Definitely not well balanced nutritionally or for the palate.
I did try Fit 2 Go and loved how I the calorie count and fat/​protein/​carb breakdown was upfront. If I didn’t want dessert I could choose from brown rice, soup, salad, or extra veggies. I hope that they can use this info and spruce up the biz a bit. They have a wonderful idea behind the business but the food is just not up to par and the menu needs a bit more color. I’d really love to use their services again if they shaped up!

After I read Maria’s review, I decided to try Shape Lover’s. I don’t have children or a lot of other responsibilities. Most of the time I’m just too single/​busy/​lazy to cook. Plus, I think Winn Dixie is ghetto and nowadays the same groceries I used to buy at Publix now cost twice as much. I think this would be a great and convenient service for singles, busy moms, and the elderly. And in this economy, a 4-​course healthy meal for $ 8 to me, is PRICELESS. I hope I never get sick of this.
Two words I would use to summarize my experience with Shape Lovers so far is *Yummy Convenience*.
LOCATION: Hallandale Beach. $ 8/​week delivery charge.
DELIVERY TIME: For my area is aprox. 7AM (I’m asleep at this time). I leave a cooler w/​ice outside my door at night and bring the meal in and put it in the fridge before work.
MEALS: $ 7.95/meal. Optional 1 – 5 meals/​week (special delivery arrangements for Saturday). Includes main dish, side, soup, and dessert (WOW!) Low cal, low fat, 500 – 600 calories/​meal. The side dish, soup, or dessert may substitute each other and on some days an alternative main dish is offered. So far, it looks like there is a new menu weekly.
FOOD EVALUATION: I consider myself a semi-​picky non «foo foo fancy» type eater and I haven’t seen a meal on their menu that I wouldn’t eat. I also have yet to finish an entire meal from them in one seating. I usually have a side/​soup dish left over and sometimes I eat the dessert first because to be so low in calorie, they are DELISH. This food is HEALTHY but doesn’t taste it at all. Unbelievable. How they do it? I have no idea, but I’m glad they did. *Their desserts are now offered in party portions for no extra delivery fee. I will definitely buy one for my next girlie dinner party.*
MEAL EXAMPLES: Carribean-​roasted pork loin, split pea mashed potato, minestrone soup, coconut flan, 575 calories TOTAL and DELICIOUS! Chicken jambalaya, cilantro rice, vegetable purée soup, corn custard (506 calories, 5g fat TOTAL PEOPLE!!!) and VERY YUMMY. I was very surprised at the good taste of my first week of meals.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Excellent phone rep’s and delivery drivers. I signed up online but had to call them a few times in my first week. (#1) I signed up online and the system conveniently took my money but a «glitch» caused them not to delivery my meal the next day (mmhm, interesting how that happens). (#2) My delivery came before the listed delivery time (online states 9am-​2pm, but my area is actually 7am). I missed the delivery driver and phone rep’s call because I was asleep and driver did not have gate code for complex (My bad) so she left. Another plus is that after your first delivery, they give you CC authorization forms to fill out, but I have not seen any «agreement» that makes me commit to their service.
