When Beyonc launched her new vegan delivery service in January, I was immediately intrigued. Maybe all the vegan dishes in her 22 Days Nutrition delivery service wouldn't make me flawless like Queen Bey, but it doesn't seem so far-fetched that 22 days of eating vegan could make me a little healthier. But the biggest question on my mind was whether the 22 Days Nutrition food tasted any good.

The idea behind the service is that it takes 21 days to break a habit: the 22nd day is when you're off to a fresh start. Here the habit you're trying to break is a meat-centric diet. For the sake of journalism, I decided to try it out. I'm not a vegan or even flexitarian, but I'd like to incorporate more plant-based meals into my diet and this seemed like a good jumping off point. 22 Days Nutrition sent me seven meals to sample, three of which were for breakfast, and four that could be eaten for lunch or dinner (though as an Independent Woman, I made the decision to ignore those rules).

The way the service works is that the meals are delivered to your home once a week. 22 Days Nutrition will deliver anywhere within the continental U.S. You can either buy packages for one, two or three meals a day, with prices ranging from $9.76 to $16.50 per meal.

Each of the meals come in 8" by 6" black boxes with a sticker full of information about ingredients, nutritional facts and expiration dates. The dishes are all extremely easy to prepare and can take from 2 to 18 minutes, depending on whether you heat it in a microwave, stovetop or oven. Some of the items are really simplelike one meal is just a box of loose granola and nutsand some are home-cooked stews full of roasted veggies, beans and brown rice.

For the carnivores who want to meet the vegan diet halfway with meaty flavor, don't expect any fake meat dishes here. The star of the show here are the fruits and veggies. Most of the time you can clearly taste which ones you're eating, though the exception was some of the pureed or mashed up ingredients. Almost all the ingredients are of the healthy variety and minimally-processed kind.

I didn't miss the flavor of meat, but after a few days, I did miss having texture and crunch in my food. It turns out a lot of the meals were kind of on the mushy side. This also meant the meals weren't all that photogenic: no Instagram filter could hide the fact the dishes look lumpy and mostly come in different shades of brown.

As for the caloric intake, the breakfast items averaged about 325 calories each and the lunch or dinner items at 540 calories. So, if you ate three meals a day, you would be on a diet consisting of about 1,400-calories. The average daily caloric needs for women ranges between 1,800 to 2,000 and for men between 2,200 to 2,400, according to the USDA. So, basically this works great for a low-calorie diet (perhaps for all the vegan ladies) but probably not for folks who are working out a ton.

I won't lie: I was hoping for some vegan dishes that would blow my mind, particularly since it's not a cheap service. You could say I wasn't Crazy in Love with all the meals. There was nothing gourmet or drool-worthy, but the dishes were palatable, and it was a quick easy way to get a healthy meal. After eating the food though, I felt better. If nothing else, it gave me some ideas about what to cook for myself to get on a healthier path.

I ranked the dishes I tried ranked from most to least delicious:
