Does Ollie for Meals work for a specific dietary need? We put Ollie for Meals’s meal planning to the test with one of the strictest, of-the-moment diets out there: the carnivore diet.
We told Ollie for Meals in our preferences that we were on the carnivore diet. For us, that meant animal-based products only, however we did include salt, pepper, and hard cheese.
