Life can be busy and chaotic; one way to simplify it is by using a meal delivery service. You don’t have to think about groceries, meal planning, or what to cook. Some services provide the ingredients you need (pre-portioned appropriately) along with recipes that you can easily make at home. With other services, meals show up already prepared. Check out our favorite meal delivery services below!
Hello Fresh is all about fresh, delicious, easy-to-make meals. The ingredients come pre-measured along with their corresponding step-by-step recipe card. Most meals take 25-35 minutes to make (unless you are cooking one of the gourmet options). Hello Fresh also provides low-calorie, pescatarian, and vegetarian options. You can also get add-on snacks, desserts, breakfast, and protein packs.
Blue Apron is one of the most popular meal delivery services – for good reason! It has four meal plans, including diabetic- and vegetarian-friendly options. Blue Apron also offers wine bundles and “Heat & Eat‚” options, and you can even add on kitchen tools!
Freshly is different from the rest of the services on our list because there’s no cooking required! Not to worry, these aren’t like the meals you’d find in the freezer aisle; Freshly provides recently prepared meals (developed by a team of nutritionists and chefs) that arrive refrigerated. It also offers an extensive menu for a variety of dietary needs, including vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and low-calorie.
Home Chef is a meal delivery service with a lot of variety – including easy-to-prep and gourmet meal options. There are also oven-ready and grill-ready dishes to choose from. It also allows you to customize the recipes by swapping out ingredients, which is great for vegetarians.
Families love Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon because it offers 45 different dishes to choose from weekly. Meals can be easily sorted on the site with the tags “kid-friendly,” “dairy-free,” “vegetarian,” etc. Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon also offers add-ons that include protein packs, breakfast, and dessert. In addition, it has low-carb, low-calorie, gourmet, and vegan options.
