Chana’la Rubenfeld, a local mom of six boys, understands that a busy schedule often gets in the way of eating right. So the integrative nutritional health coach launched a new salad delivery service, Salads 2 Your Door (salads2yourdoor.com), in November to ensure everyone—especially busy moms—can enjoy an energizing, healthy meal without any hassle. Five individually packed salads are dropped off every Monday morning, each including a Kosher blend of greens, vegetarian proteins, complex carbs and healthy fats. The menu changes weekly. It’s as easy as pie—but healthier!
