LA-Story would like to thank NOODDLE CEO Carlos Melara, for sharing all this great content with us!
You just have to download the app and it’s likely that you can put together a great lunch that tastes great, is easy to make as well as healthy.
Personally speaking, I will download this app. I need to be making the NOODDLE lunches because I am spending waaaaaaay (!!!) to much time cooking meals. My husband doesn’t cook. I am stuck doing the cooking every.single. day. I want to have lighter meals — which would be good for both of us.
PLUS there are vegan and vegetarian recipes so that everyone in my family can have a plant-based meal quickly and easily!
