Meals are all single-serving, and you can order up to 16 entrées a week. The company also includes profiles of all its chefs, which makes the site more engaging. The service only delivers to select regions in 47 states, leaving many testers outside major metropolitan areas out of luck.

The box is insulated with a recyclable paper insert, and the contents are kept cool with a large ice pack at the bottom of the shipping container.

Each meal tray is encased in a colorful paper sleeve with the name and photo of the chef who created the recipe, a use-by date, and detailed nutritional information. The meal tray is made of industrially compostable material and sealed with a plastic film. We were generally impressed with these prepared meals; while we found some portions on the small side, the flavors won over many of our prepared-meal skeptics.

Pros: Daily Harvest's menu is entirely plant-based, and the service makes every effort to use organic ingredients. Cons: More impatient home cooks may not like that all meals arrive frozen; you also must commit to a minimum order of nine items with each delivery.

Since , Daily Harvest has provided plant-based eaters nationwide with top-notch meals that are chock-full of nutrients. Everything on the menu is plant-based and gluten-free, with a strong focus on organic ingredients. There are more than dishes on the menu , from sweet potato and wild rice bowls to artichoke and spinach flatbread to purple corn and tomatillo soup.

While all items arrive frozen, that just means you can keep your freezer stocked with meals whenever you need them.

Ordering from Daily Harvest is a straightforward process. You do not need to create an account to view the menu, so browse as much as you like before signing up. Instead, your order will simply repeat until you manually alter it. While there may be better choices than Daily Harvest for larger households, we found its smoothies, bowls, and flatbreads to be a solid choice for folks who want a quick, nutritious meal.

Daily Harvest ships its products in a cardboard shipping box, insulated with a liner and kept cool with a package of dry ice. Your items will arrive frozen and can be stored in your freezer for up to three months. Most packages have at least three elements: a paper-based vessel, a plastic film seal, and a plastic lid or thin cardboard sleeve.

Harvest bakes are the exception; they have the sleeve and plastic seal, but the vessel is an aluminum tray. In general, containers, lids, and sleeves are recyclable or compostable.

Preparing your Daily Harvest meals is about as foolproof as it gets. Aside from overnight oats and chia bowls, which need to soak for at least six hours, harvest bakes and flatbreads take the longest, requiring roughly 20 to 30 minutes to bake in the oven or toaster oven.

Everything else is ready to eat in about five minutes. We sampled nine different items to get an idea of what Daily Harvest has to offer, including:. During testing, we found that the more umami a dish had, the more filling it felt to testers. However, this service fits the bill if you want something fast and healthy.

Pros: With its ethical sourcing and USDA-certified organic ingredients, Sunbasket has a level of variety and customization options that set it apart from the rest. Cons: Our testers found some of Sunbasket's recipe instructions hard to follow, and shipping is only free for your first order.

Sunbasket takes pride in ethical sourcing and using certified USDA-organic ingredients whenever possible from a plethora of U. purveyors and farmers. The service offers healthy and nutritious meals , with an option for a traditional meal kit with pre-portioned ingredients or fresh-and-ready prepared meals you can heat up in minutes.

Meals are available for two or four servings, and many of the meals offer protein customization alternatives, plus options to add on breakfasts, lunches, and snacks. From Persian salmon to chimichurri steaks to chop suey, Sunbasket creates enticing and internationally inspired meals.

Sunbasket tries to ship its meals in environmentally-friendly packaging; our items arrived in a cardboard box lined with paper and denim insulation. The food is kept cold with plastic ice packs, which are filled with compostable gel.

Proteins are sealed in plastic, while all other ingredients are sealed in brown paper bags. Recipes are printed on a full-color folded sheet, and their information is extensive and helpful. There are even instructions on making your meal ahead of time, which we thought was a nice touch.

As part of our testing, we cooked and prepared:. Despite the care Sunbasket puts into its packaging, we were puzzled to find that the company made ingredient substitutions with no warning beforehand.

The differences were small we received Parmesan instead of Pecorino, and the recipe listed roasted garlic when we had raw cloves , but enough to give us pause. Pros: Home Chef has recipes designed to save you time, and with its easy-to-customize dishes, bigger serving sizes, and affordable price point, it's a great option for families.

Cons: Home Chef only offers limited dietary accommodations, so those with specific needs may want to look elsewhere. You can choose from tasty, comfort food-leaning options like Tuscan-style shrimp penne, crispy shallot beef burgers, and mushroom and black bean chili, each of which can feed up to six people.

Then you specify your dietary preferences. You have until Friday each week to pause, skip, or cancel your order, which you can do via Home Chef's website or app. At this time, Home Chef does not ship to Alaska or Hawaii.

Our Home Chef ingredients arrive in an insulated cardboard box, with items kept cool with ice packs. Proteins are individually wrapped and packed together in a plastic bag, and all premeasured ingredients are grouped in resealable plastic bags, making it easy to store the items in the refrigerator until ready for use.

Each recipe comes with its own double-sided card; these are already three-hole punched and intended to be saved in a binder.

We sampled several recipes from Home Chef, which consisted of the following:. Pros: Dinnerly offers comfort food favorites in varying sizes at budget-friendly price point. Cons: In order to cut down on cost, Dinnerly only offers digital recipe cards. Some of our testers also report chatbot issues when reaching out to customer service.

You can order meals with either two or four servings, with an option of three to six meals a week. Dinnerly's rotating weekly menu focuses on family-friendly comfort foods like steak and potatoes, quesadillas, and rice bowls.

You can also incorporate grocery items into your shipments using the new online Market by Dinnerly. With preportioned items and only a handful of ingredients, meals are quick to prepare and delicious.

You don't need to create an account to view Dinnerly's menu. Simply click on "View Menu. First, select the number of meals and servings you need. Then, provide your location, email address, and delivery address. Choose the delivery day that suits you best. Once you've added your payment information, you can select the meals you want for your first delivery.

Dinnerly will choose your meals, but you can adjust your preferences by clicking on the "edit taste profile" link in your account settings.

Once there, you can customize the types of proteins you prefer, whether you want vegetarian options, and whether you like spicy food.

To choose your meals, simply click on "edit recipes," select the meals you want, and then hit "continue" to reach Dinnerly's "Market" section. In the "Market," you can choose up to 10 additional items from categories such as bakery and dessert, breakfast and brunch, drinks and smoothies, fresh fruits and vegetables, lunch, and prepared meals and sides.

Dinnerly ships its meal kit ingredients fresh, and items are kept chilled in transit by a combination of insulation which can vary based on your location and a large ice pack.

Proteins are separated from your produce and seasonings, and all perishable items should be stored in the refrigerator. The company only provides digital recipe cards to reduce costs and its carbon footprint.

These are always available in your Dinnerly account and can be accessed on your phone via the app or on your computer. Our sample meals included:. Our main complaint? The broccoli and chicken were supposed to be cooked in the same skillet, but this proved impossible and required another skillet and thus more dishes to clean.

Dinnerly is also the most affordable meal delivery service we tested. Blue Apron stands out from the rest for its diverse selection of meals and entrées available, all with a gourmet touch. Purple Carrot full review here is the original plant-based meal kit service and this healthy food delivery service has a loyal and growing customer base.

Purple Carrot makes it easy to sort its offerings into high-protein or gluten-free meals that satisfy even nonvegetarians.

In addition to the tasty vegan meals, you can add extras like banana chia pudding or overnight oats with apricot, goji berries and cashew butter to your weekly delivery.

Do be aware that some of the Purple Carrot meals take a bit of time and some skill to prepare but if quality, homemade vegan meal kits are a priority for you and extra trips to the store are not , this is probably the best meal kit for you.

Hungryroot is for anyone who seeks online grocery delivery and healthy recipe suggestions with all the ingredients to make them but doesn't want to commit to the rigor of a meal kit subscription. Hungryroot is part meal kit company and part healthy grocery delivery service.

Unlike traditional meal kits, Hungryroot tailors a delivery of groceries with simple recipe suggestions that can be created from them. The cost per serving decreases the more you order. While services like Blue Apron and Sunbasket lock you into recipes with rather specific ingredients portioned for that particular meal.

This is simply the best prepared plant-based meal service we've tried and it's one of the most affordable, too. I tested a week's worth of Mosaic inventive meatless meals full review here and for plant-based meal delivery, it doesn't get any better than this. Of the nine Mosaic meals I tried, none were bad and I really loved nearly all of them.

Personal favorites included the tender jackfruit chili and the olive, pepper and feta ragout, but there were plenty more that hit the spot. There were also no mushy vegetables -- a plague in meal delivery -- and the meat stand-ins like jackfruit, tofu and vegan sausage were used in creative ways and cooked extremely well.

It's also the most sustainable meal kit service when it comes to packaging. Probably the most recognizable of the meal kit services, Blue Apron has a lot of healthy, fresh options on the menu -- and just a lot of options, in general. Blue Apron teamed up with Weight Watchers for easy-to-cook healthy recipes like sheet pan tandoori-style chicken and tilapia in lemon caper sauce.

These recipes align with its point system, making it easy for those in the program to have a healthy diet meal plan and keep track. Blue Apron offers customers roughly eight to 12 delicious meals to choose from per week including more than one vegetarian recipe option as well as a few that were created for the Weight Watchers Freestyle program.

Separate from Weight Watchers meals, its vegetarian options get high marks in the reviews I read, but if you're full-on vegan or vegetarian, there are likely better vegetarian specialty meal kits and meal delivery services with more daily or weekly plant-based options and ingredients. Blue Apron also has one of the most user-friendly meal plan interfaces of all the meal kit services and optional wine pairings, too.

With free dietician support, this meal service takes a holistic approach to better health through diet. Plus, the food is pretty tasty. This comprehensive meal subscription includes free dietician counseling and is designed for those with food sensitivities and digestive issues.

ModifyHealth also offers tailored meal plans for diabetics, those with celiac disease as well as looking to improve heart health or eat fewer carbs. The food we tested was solid with lots of lean proteins, green vegetables and light, flavorful sauces. Some dishes were bland and required salt but most were good or better.

ModifyHealth uses a strategic elimination diet to help find the triggers of your adverse, The program puts a lot of focus on FODMAPS , which are fermentable carbohydrates found in many foods and are thought to be a common trigger for IBS and other gastrointestinal ailments. A no-nonsense way to get your nutrients in with easy plant-based breakfast and lunch meals with no cooking required.

This is the best meal delivery for ready-to-go, healthy breakfast and light lunches. Splendid Spoon is hoping to entice folks who want to keep it simple, easy and nutritious for breakfast and lunch with its ready-made smoothies, soups and grain bowls delivered to your door weekly.

Soup options include cauliflower tikka and Mexican tomato, while smoothies come in tasty combos like almond butter and jelly, blueberry acai and a green matcha smoothie with spirulina, ginger and turmeric.

Soups and smoothies are loosely categorized by their overall intended effect, like "heal," "energize" and "refresh. One thing to note is that the smoothies can be high in sugar. If you're cutting back on the sweet stuff is a goal in , you may want to look elsewhere or buy a good smoothie blender and make them at home.

Here's my full review of Splendid Spoon. Pete's may be pricey but you'll taste the difference. The tasty premade meals are perfect for athletes and those seeking high-protein and gluten-free meals for extra energy. Pete's won me over in a week-long taste test , notching its place as one of the best healthy, organic meal delivery services I've yet to try.

Pete's Real Food meals were all well-prepared too. The meats were tender, the vegetables mostly cooked to proper doneness and all the flavors worked. The food wasn't overly seasoned and the recipes were mild and maybe even on the safe side -- but that's nothing a few shakes of hot sauce can't fix.

If you're in training, avoiding gluten or keeping to a paleo plan and looking for lots of protein, healthy fats and nutrient-filled carbs such as sweet potatoes and beets, Pete's Real Food should hit the spot. Pete's has lots of ordering options and the meals are made to freeze so if you don't want to subscribe, you can keep an inventory on hand for those moments you need a quick fix.

To test each meal delivery service, I tried at least five and sometimes as many as 10 meals from any given service. I tried to choose a range of meals from the various menu and meal plan offerings.

For instance, if a service offers plant-based meals I was sure to try at least one. I also mixed up the meal types to include rice bowls, meat dishes, plant-based offerings and other various styles offered by the brand. Further, I made sure to test a variety of cuisines -- Italian, Indian, Thai, Mexican -- if they were offered.

Because healthy food is subjective and people have varying nutrition needs and goals, I tried to approach this list from all angles and determine which meal services were healthiest for different types of eaters.

Folks keeping to the keto diet, for instance, may consider low-carb meal delivery "healthiest. I also took careful note of each meal delivery service's website, including what information was provided ingredients, nutritional info , how clearly the menu was organized and how simple it was to pick a healthy meal plan and order meals.

When they arrived, I noted how well they were packaged and checked whether each meal was still chilled or frozen. I took careful note of how food arrived and whether it was still chilled or frozen, as it was intended.

To reheat meals, I took a twofold approach. For some, I meticulously followed the heating instructions on the label. But since these are suggestions, I reheated other meals the way I would if left to my own devices. Often that meant warming gently in a nonstick skillet or reheating in an air fryer.

Many of the meal delivery services offer a microwave heating option, but I almost always found that produced worse results. Testing meal kits requires cooking and thus a different stand of practices and procedures for evaluation.

Here's more on how we test meal kits at CNET. The first thing you'll want to consider is what your nutrition goals are, ideally with the help of a health professional, since some services are better suited to specific diets or health conditions.

If it's eliminating some or all meat from your diet, there are vegan meal plans that will make it easy. If you're trying to cut carbs or calories from your weekly intake, there are other services that specialize in keto, paleo and low-calorie foods. Others have meal plans specifically for diabetics in case you are carefully managing your blood sugar.

You'll also want to decide if a meal kit service or prepared meal subscription is best. If you like the idea of cooking, but don't want to do the shopping and prep, a service such as Blue Apron or Sunbasket will take the legwork out of dinner a few nights each week.

If you'd rather not cook at all, prepared meal delivery is the obvious choice. They'll send ready-to-eat meals to be stored in the fridge or freezer for whoever you need them.

The price you're willing to pay is another important consideration. Meal delivery can make life much easier but not if it adds financial stress.

Use our comparison chart to help determine which meal services best fit your budget and go from there. Most health experts will tell you that eating a healthy, balanced diet is just about the best thing you can do to improve your health.

While strict diets aren't necessarily at the top of the list for doctors and dieticians, consuming more whole foods, protein and vitamin-rich vegetables as well as eating less sodium, unhealthy fats and sugar will drastically improve health outcomes over time.

Heart health, bone health, cardiovascular health and even mental health are all tied directly to diet, and choosing a healthy meal service or subscription is one way to kick a healthy new nutritional regimen into gear.

Healthy meal kits and meal delivery services offer delicious, curated meals catered to your personal tastes and nutritional needs. One reason folks -- like me, for instance -- tend to prefer meal kits and meal delivery over classic fad diets is they take away some of the risk for those weak moments of dietary self-sabotage.

You should check with your doctor or a health professional before making any drastic changes to your diet. That said, there are meal delivery services that cater to nutrition plans of all types including keto, paleo, Mediterranean diet, low-calorie, vegan, vegetarian and diabetes-friendly.

You can do most things in your online account. This includes rescheduling a delivery, pausing your subscription, and canceling. Canceling my EveryPlate subscription was quick and painless. It still surprises me how many services make you jump through hoops just to cancel your subscription, so I commend EveryPlate for making cancellation easy.

EveryPlate also has an informative FAQ section covering a range of topics like shipping, billing, and food safety.

I usually avoid phone conversations, so I tried the live chat first. I had questions about the new shipping fees due to conflicting information I found online, so I decided to confirm directly with EveryPlate.

The chatbot connected me to a customer support representative, and I received my answer within a minute. The EveryPlate app allows you to solve numerous issues without needing to contact customer service. This encompasses skipping weeks, modifying your address, or canceling your subscription.

If you wish to cancel your EveryPlate plan, my guide will instruct you on how to accomplish it swiftly and effortlessly. But this service is the better choice for those following vegan, keto, high-protein, or Mediterranean diets. EveryPlate is fantastic for any household looking for a budget meal kit delivery service.

EveryPlate is one of the cheapest meal kit services out there, but you still get good value for your money. Slightly more expensive Premium recipes are available each week as optional upgrades. But even with the occasional upgrade, EveryPlate is one of the most affordable meal kit services around.

EveryPlate meals are balanced and fresh. The nutritional information for each dish is provided on the recipe card, so you can select dishes that meet your health goals. Canceling your EveryPlate subscription is quick and painless. Go to your account settings and click Deactivate Account.

The entire process takes just a few seconds. EveryPlate is considerably cheaper than HelloFresh , but it has a smaller selection of meals and is geared more toward family-friendly comfort food made with simpler ingredients.

EveryPlate meal kits arrive chilled in an insulated box designed to keep meals cool for up to 48 hours until you can get them into your refrigerator. This ensures that your EveryPlate ingredients stay fresh until you are ready to start cooking.
