Creative Caveman

I randomly found Creative Caveman on Instagram, of all places. I’ve been an active Crossfitter for about 3 years now, and I have been familiar with the paleo diet. I had always wanted to get into it, but the reality of it was that it was much too time intensive to shop for and cook all the food. It’s also rather expensive when you first start out. You have to buy a bunch of ingredients that you might not even use much of. Those were just some of the factors that prevented me from going full paleo.
Enter Nick. I contacted Nick to find out more about his meal delivery service. There aren’t too many meal prep services in this area (most seem to serve LA only), so I was very surprised to find out that he delivered to this area. I messaged him on IG to get more info and that was the start of a great relationship. The top selling points for me were:
1. He is a Marine Corps veteran, so you would be supporting a veteran owned business. As a member of a military family, that is something I try to do.
2. He provides FANTASTIC customer service. Nick is quick to respond to any inquiries and always tries to take care of the customer. When I first started ordering, there were some annoying issues with the website. If he hadn’t been so nice, I don’t think I would have ordered from him again. But because I could tell he was trying really hard to address the problem (and it was largely outside of his control), I was willing to be patient too. I’m glad I was.
3. The food is delicious! Many of the paleo foods I’ve had in the past were bland or just plain weird. All his dishes are well cooked (chicken is juicy, even after a week) and packaged nicely too. If you are not sold, at least try the 5 meal option… after that, you won’t even want to go out to eat with your co-​workers.
One of the reasons I held back on the meal prep and delivery service was because I thought I couldn’t afford it. But after buying a bunch of groceries and watching it mostly rot in the fridge because I never got around to actually cooking, I began to re-​evaluate my choices. I thought about how much I spend going out to lunch and dinner on a daily basis and what I was actually paying for. The amount that I spend per meal from Nick is about the same (even less) than what I spend going out, but I know I’m getting healthy, good quality food that actually tastes good too.
There should be absolutely no reason to reach out to him and try his food. He’s very good about giving free samples, so don’t be shy and ask. You won’t regret it!
