TESTIMONIALS
"I have been buying Urban Jars Halifax since the week that they launched and now I can’t live without them. As a person who hates planning lunches, the jars are so convenient and I feel great knowing that they have all of the healthy goodness that I need. The jars have really gotten me out of my comfort zone, now I’m excited to try any new ones that come out because they never disappoint! I’m a gluten-free vegetarian and Karly and Shannon have been so great at helping me make sure that my purchases are safe for me to eat. I’ve recently started buying the chia pudding and I’m absolutely obsessed! The banana hazelnut flavour is beyond describable; you need to check Urban Jars Halifax out!"

I’m someone who is often time poor and frequently lacking in inspiration for breakfast and lunch ideas. I’m also overly generous with my portion sizes but also regularly find I don’t use all the ingredients I buy, they then go to waste. So I was excited to learn about Urban Jars Halifax and give them a try and I’m hooked! I was immediately impressed by the ease of ordering and communication about my order but was even more impressed by the stay-fresh tasty salads (Kale Caesar is my absolute favourite), the delicious breakfast parfaits and the protein bites – which are my go-to snack especially if I’m craving something sweet. It also saves me so much time on the days I’m really busy and need to grab something quickly. I love the ease of the jars – they keep things extra fresh and are low waste – and everything is just so tasty and delicious! Thank you Urban Jars Halifax, and Karly and Shannon!

I started getting Urban Jars a few years ago in hopes that my husband and I would find an easier, healthier alternative to buying lunches at work. We tried meal prepping before but found we got tired of the same meals frequently or we’d have to spend a lot of money buying a variety of ingredients in order to prep different meals. We then defaulted to buying lunches. Not only was this expensive but naturally we would choose things that weren’t healthy. I am also a picky eater and other meal prep services didn’t allow for substitutions. When we found Urban Jars we were pleasantly surprised at the price and quality. They are able to customize everything to my liking and we feel good having healthy meals everyday for lunch. We have recommend this service to so many of our friends and coworkers. It’s really been a life saver for us. Thank you!

I've been using Urban Jars since they opened and I don't know how our household would function without hazelnut protein bites! They are the perfect quick breakfast, snack on the go, or sweet treat- my husband and I each order our own weekly jar and GOOD LUCK getting us to share if one of us doesn't allocate their bites properly and runs out before delivery day. Special shoutout to the day I set my bite down on the kitchen table and turned around to find my cat with his giant mouth open ready to take a bite... like I said, everyone thinks they're REALLY good! I also love the lunch jars for work lunches, or the breakfast jars for an evening snack. We are both pretty picky eaters, but having the flexibility to modify the jars to our tastes makes this a perfect fit for us unlike some other meal services. Since being an energy exchanger I have learned about so many other people's mods and gotten some delicious ideas! As a business owner, I've also used Urban Jars to treat my team to lunch on a particularly busy day which I highly recommend if you're looking for a crowd pleasing lunch idea.

Urban jars has become a mainstay in my life. I’ve ordered regularly since its inception and also do energy exchange work with Urban Jars. As a result, my daughter and I eat more balanced, filling, nutrient-rich meals, more consistently. They also happen to be totally delicious! We look forward to the delivery each week and find ourselves missing our jars when I forget to order. The lunch jars are particularly helpful - my daughter and I can often share one as a dinner side, so they really take us far. We eagerly await the arrival of the watermelon-feta lunch jar and several other seasonal favourites. And it’s always nice to have a 1L size on hand in case we have spontaneous company! We also love the smoothies and protein bites. When it comes to the “shop the perimeter” whole/unprocessed mentality, we eat with much better variety because of Urban Jars. The jars are consistently fresh, full of colour and flavour, often with locally-made or grown ingredients. Being able to eat well - quickly, without a lot of thinking and virtually no prep is a really important when countering auto-immune symptoms. I feel better, think clearer and am more present, moment-to-moment. This is invaluable.

I have been ordering from Urban Jars since 2021. As a person who does not enjoy planning meals (now that kids are all grown), the lunch jars are a perfect solution to ensuring a nutritious and delicious lunch. I also always have a jar of the energy bites in the fridge for a snack before fitness class or mid day pick me up. The changing variety and selection of the flavours for the lunch jars are wonderful to keep from getting bored of having the same thing. Karly & Shannon have made my lunchtimes enjoyable and super convenient. The jars are great for on the go lunches, take to the cottage, on a road trip or a day at the office. I appreciate the ease and convenience of ordering from Urban Jars Halifax. Taking the task of lunch prep off my list of weekly to-do’s is a bonus too! I try and support local as much as possible, and this is a local business that I truly value their service and their products. Thanks Karly & Shannon.

I have been ordering Urban Jars Halifax weekly for approximately two years now. As a busy working mother of two young children who prioritizes healthy eating, I have found everything I need with Urban Jars. I order my lunches weekly. This detracts from the mental load of having to plan and prepare healthy lunches for myself, leaving me with more time and capacity to focus on my kids and my career. The lunch jars are truly delicious and nutritious. The menu changes periodically. I have also ordered breakfast jars, and protein balls, and both are similarly delicious. My family recently went on a vacation, and my jars came with us. I loved that I was able to eat healthy, while enjoying my time with my family, and I did not need to think about preparing in advance. I love how the jars are delivered directly to my doorstep weekly. The delivery is always on time. Urban Jars have made eating healthy much easier and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants healthy and convenient meals, but does not have much time.

I have been a regular customer of Urban Jars for two years. The value and quality of their products are excellent and the ordering and pick up are so convenient – perfect for a busy professional! We order pretty much every week that we are at home and it’s now become a regular part of our weekly meal prep plan. We love the variety of the menu items and there’s something for everyone and every meal…..breakfast, lunch or dinner. I’ve recommended Urban Jars to so many friends and colleagues who are now also loyal customers.
