My name is Julie Johnson. My husband Blake and I have been full time RVer’s for over 2 years now. We travel with our two cats in a 27 foot travel trailer. Even though it is a tiny living space, we believe that “home is where you park it.”  We love the full time RV lifestyle and don’t see ourselves stopping anytime soon.

Our passion is to travel. We love seeing and experiencing new things as much as possible. We have come to find that making memories are a lot more important to us than having “stuff.”  Tiny living has its sacrifices, however the rewards definitely outweigh them.

Our friends, “The Homeless Millionaires,” introduced us to ICON Meals. I was hesitant at first, because I thought the company was only for athletes, fitness competitors and bodybuilders. I am definitely none of those things, so I was a little intimidated. Besides that, I figured the food would be bland and I’d have to eat the same thing everyday. Disclaimer… I have a ton of respect for anyone who has the discipline to eat a strict meal plan in order to accomplish a goal.  

I’ve gone through phases of meal prepping healthier options myself just to be bored with the lack of variety and taste as well as how time consuming it can be. In addition to that, living in a small space has made it more challenging. The constant grocery shopping and dishwashing due to a small refrigerator and small sink were also frustrating. Don’t even get me started on the lack of counter space in a tiny house on wheels.

Now please don’t get it twisted. A person certainly can eat healthy while living a nomadic lifestyle. We have a refrigerator, oven, stove and microwave; our home is comparable to a studio apartment. It’s possible, but that’s not my point…

I’m thankful we were introduced to ICON Meals. I can put less energy into grocery shopping and meal prepping dishes and more energy into exploring, new experiences and adventures. I like that you can order customized meals, snacks and bulk protein. I found that the Chef’s Sampler Box was a great introductory way for me to give the company a fair chance. It did not disappoint. It gave me variety, convenience, flavor and most importantly time.

After a long travel day of driving our rig to a new location, it’s wonderful to not have to worry about groceries, preparing a meal and doing dishes. Another perk is that ICON Meals delivers directly to our RV doorstep no matter what city we are in on a date that we choose. We sometimes don’t know where we are headed next, so to have that ability is very beneficial. The convenience is the best part!

On top of that, I thought it would cost us more money but I was wrong. Before ICON Meals:

1. We would buy things we didn’t need at the store simply because they looked good at the time.
2. Our fresh food would go bad because we didn’t eat it soon enough.
3. We would eat out more often because we didn’t want to have to cook something.

Overall, I am very pleased with ICON Meals; they will be a staple in our lifestyle from now on. There are a lot more Adventures in RV living to be had. On to the next one…
