9 Best Keto Meal Delivery Services 2023: For Low-Carb Diets

The keto diet is extremely effective for weight loss, but only when done right. It usually involves meticulous meal planning and calculating your protein and carb intake, which can get exhausting pretty fast.

Luckily, with the right keto meal delivery service, you don’t have to do all that. You just submit your meal order and enjoy the meals that reach your doorstep. Plus, all high-quality keto-friendly services provide clear information on nutrition facts, so it’s easy to keep track of your macros.

There are plenty of keto-friendly meal delivery services on the market, and I found some of the best. I worked hard together with our experts and created a list of the best keto meal delivery services based on menu variety, prices, meal types, and other important criteria.

Green Chef is my top choice due to its focus on organic ingredients. Plus, the service is very transparent in regard to suppliers, and all the nutrition facts are clearly labeled. But, of course, there are other impressive keto-friendly services out there. So make sure to check my entire list!

The Best Keto Meal Delivery Services Reviewed

1. Green Chef – Best Keto-Friendly Meal Kits

Green Chef offers a wide range of low-prep meal kits for budding cooks who want some help in the kitchen. Marked with the Quick & Easy tag, you’ll only need 20 to 25 minutes to turn the ingredients included in 1 of these meal kits into a delicious dinner.

All the meals come with measured and (sometimes) pre-prepped ingredients. The meal kits also include premade sauces, marinades, and spice blends, so you can have dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less. According to my colleague’s tried-and-tested Green Chef review, the recipes are also super easy to follow, with helpful tips and photos.

Green Chef offers a dedicated plan for keto dieters, but you are free to choose whichever recipes you like. Most keto-friendly meals are low-carb and gluten-free without grains or soy. Also, the maximum carb content is limited to less than 35g of carbs per serving.

The core menu includes 5 to 7 keto-friendly meal kits each week, but you can use the Add-Ons section to craft your own meals. Here, you’ll find a wide range of cooked proteins (seafood, pork, chicken, and beef), breakfasts, 10-min lunches, and keto-friendly desserts.

Green Chef is also a certified organic company that delivers organic produce and eggs whenever possible. You’ll find organic chicken, pork, and beef in the Add-Ons section. Any conventional meat, fish, and seafood are always responsibly sourced and non-GMO. 

The service delivers across the US, and shipping is a flat fee of $9.99 no matter the size of your order. However, the price per serving is influenced by how much you order. For instance, you’ll pay $9.99 per serving if you order 4 meals for 6 people per week (the maximum box size). Smaller orders have a higher per-serving cost.

2. Factor – Best Ready-Made Keto Recipes

Factor offers top-quality, nutritious dishes made with high-quality ingredients. The menu of fully prepared meals features a good selection of veggie, low-calorie, and plant-based options. There are also 20+ keto-friendly options each week.

The dishes use high-quality ingredients sourced from trustworthy suppliers. Plus, there are plenty of gluten-free, soy-free, and refined-sugar-free options on the menu. Everything is prepared by pro chefs and tailored by dietitians. 

You can even schedule a free 20-min consultation with an in-house nutrition coach. This comes in handy if you’re new to the keto diet world and want to learn what works and what doesn’t. Find out what my colleague thought when they gave Factor a try!

Factor's menu changes weekly, so you'll never get bored of eating the same meals. One week, you may get to try an all-time favorite like the Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole and enjoy a serving of Chicken Piccata the week after. 

The meals arrive chilled (not frozen) and will stay fresh for a full 7 days in the fridge. They’re great for a filling work lunch or dinner or to refuel post-workout. That’s because Factor also has a variety of add-ons, ranging from breakfast options to smoothies, juices, cooked proteins, and desserts. Many of these add-ons are keto-friendly, so it's a nice way to upgrade your order.

Factor can be on the pricey side depending on how many meals you order per week. However, keep in mind that you're paying for quality ingredients and convenience. If you order 18 meals per week (the maximum box size), the cost drops down to $6.19 per serving. This is a bit more affordable compared to smaller orders (6 meals per week is the minimum you can order).

3. Ketogenic Diet-to-Go – Best Keto Meals For Weight Loss

Ketogenic Diet-to-Go offers chef-prepared keto meals delivered right to your doorstep. This service was designed for people seeking weight loss and healthier eating habits who don’t want to deal with the fuss of prep and cooking.

You can choose between 4 meal plans: Balance (standard and diabetes-friendly), Vegetarian, the classic Atkins-style, and Keto-Carb30. The Keto-Carb30 plan is perfect for keto dieters as the daily meals are designed to include less than 30 g of net carbs and around 1,300 calories per day.

The service balances good flavor with calorie-controlled recipes. You’ll be able to enjoy classic, tasty dishes like Spinach Quiche, Chicken Fontina, or Chicken Italiano. All meals rotate on a 5-week cycle to provide variety in your diet. 

Diet-to-Go’s Keto-Carb30 has something for everybody, so you won’t get bored. The microwavable meals are incredibly convenient, and the plan offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so your entire day (and week) is covered. Find out what my colleague thought of the dishes when they explored Diet-to-Go’s Keto-Carb30 plan.

The company doesn't offer customization options, which is common for diet services. Each recipe is nutritionally balanced and designed to respect the keto diet’s requirements. Plus, you can book a call with an on-staff dietitian if you have questions regarding food allergies or sensitivities.

Ketogenic Diet-to-Go also offers a free diet analysis. Fill in an online form, and the company will break down each aspect of your dietary habits/needs and send you the results via email. With these results, you can design a meal plan tailored to your exact dietary needs.

Prices start at $4.60 per serving for the 7-day meal plan with 3 meals per day. You also receive a nice discount for the first order, which makes it a little more tolerable for your wallet. 

4. Trifecta – Great for Active Keto Dieters

Trifecta offers 4 dietary plans including Classic, Keto, Paleo Whole30 Approved, and Plant Based. The company’s goal is to facilitate a healthier lifestyle. Its ready-made meals make it easy to stick to your diet of choice. 

This service is suitable for anyone who wants to maintain or improve their health. Although professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts may particularly benefit from this service, Trifecta can make it easier for anyone to maintain a healthy diet regardless of their lifestyle.

Trifecta has a dedicated Keto plan, which offers keto-friendly dishes packed with healthy fats. These meals are low in carbs (with around 10 grams of net carbs), high in fat (an average of 35 grams of fat), and high in protein (with an average of 41 grams of protein). 

All the keto recipes include plant-based oils, healthy, high-fat meats, vegetables, and tasty nuts. This way, you’ll replenish your energy and essential nutrition throughout the day while keeping hunger at bay.

Trifecta’s meal plans include Clean, Paleo, Keto, Vegetarian, Vegan, and Whole30 Approved. If you opt for any of them, you can choose chef’s choice or you can pick your own meals. Read more about this in my colleague’s in-depth Trifecta review.

While the menu is diverse, you can’t choose your own meals on most plans. If you want more flexibility and control over your meals, check out the à la carte option to choose your own proteins and sides. However, Factor is a better option if you want the freedom to control your menu.

After you choose your meal plan, you can select the number of entrees (5, 7, 10, or 14). You can also decide if you want breakfast and select the ingredients you want to be removed from your menu (2 ingredients max). Prices start at $6.00 per serving, which is a bit steep for the regular dieter, but it is worth it if you have the budget.

5. BistroMD – Best Science-Based Keto Meal Plan

BistroMD is a meal delivery service specifically designed for dieting and weight loss. BistroMD’s meal plans have been developed by a doctor with decades of experience in weight loss, and all the recipes are designed in collaboration with a team of registered dietitians.

BistroMD offers 7 specialized programs, so you can choose the 1 that best caters to your specific dietary needs. The programs are designed for weight loss through a low-calorie diet (for men and women), a healthy heart, people with gluten sensitivities and celiacs, keto dieters, people going through menopause, people suffering from or trying to prevent diabetes, and vegans.

For Keto dieters, the menu features a selection of meals that average 1,200 to 1,400 daily calories. Also, each serving fits within the limits of 15-20 g of carbs, 25-30 g of protein, and 10-15 g of healthy fats. And each meal includes up to 500 mg of sodium per serving. 

There are more than 150 frozen chef-prepared meals on BistroMD’s menu. While you’ll find some new additions from time to time, this is a rotating menu. So if you stick with it long enough, you’ll eventually repeat certain meals. For more information, check out my colleague’s extensive BistroMD review.

Customization options aren’t available, since each recipe is meticulously planned and portioned for a calorie-conscious diet. However, you get to pick the meals you’ll enjoy each week from your selected plan. You can also change your plan at any time.

You can also decide how many single-serving meals per week you want. Choose between 2 or 3 meals for 5 or 7 days per plan, which can total up to 21 weekly dishes plus snacks. I like Green Chef as an alternative if you prefer meal kits to microwavable meals.

Overall, BistroMD is convenient, especially with a strict diet like keto. However, with prices starting at $8.24 per serving, it’s not the most affordable meal delivery service out there.

6. EatClean – Good Selection of Home-Cooked Keto Meals

EatClean specializes in providing nutritionally balanced meals that help you achieve your health and fitness goals. Its recipes are ready-made and perfectly portioned to support a healthy lifestyle. 

According to my colleague’s review, you can choose the portion size you want. EatClean offers 2 portion sizes: “Regular Portion” for individuals and “Large Portion” for couples or small families.

The menu offers an extensive selection of oven- and microwave-ready dishes. The recipes span different cuisines, from American to Chinese, Cuban, Indian, and Hawaiian-inspired recipes. Meals on the menu are divided into 4 diet plans: Keto, Plant-Based, Paleo, and Traditional.

The Keto menu includes 12 ready-made meals per week, including breakfasts and entrees. Each meal is specially designed to fit the requirements of the Keto diet. For instance, you can have Dark Chocolate Chip Keto Pancakes for breakfast (258 calories and 5 g of carbs) and Sugar-Free Asian Chicken with Herb Garlic Spaghetti Squash for lunch or dinner (238 calories and 10 g of carbs). 

Each serving includes high-quality protein. You’ll find chicken breast, pulled pork, grass-fed ground beef shrimp, turkey sausage, and more. The Plant-Based menu includes veggie-based proteins like beans and chickpeas.

You can mix and match between plans, so feel free to dip your toes in the Traditional or Paleo plans if you want some diversity. If you look carefully, you’ll find several low-carb recipes in each of the meal categories.

Prices start at $8.60 per serving with the maximum meal plan (14 meals per week). If you want to order a smaller box, EatClean also offers 6, 10, and 12 meals per week. Just keep in mind that the price per serving will increase for smaller orders.

7. Fresh N Lean – Best for Busy Keto Dieters

With 6 diet plans available, Fresh N Lean makes it easy to find meals that match your dietary needs. For keto dieters, the service offers a dedicated meal plan that includes clean meals that pack in heaps of nutritious fat and proteins without exceeding 35 g of carbs per day.

Fresh N Lean also caters to Protein+, Paleo, Vegan (Standard and Low Carb), and Whole30 Approved diets. Plus, all the meals, regardless of diet, are made from sustainably sourced ingredients (including seafood and grass-fed beef) with an emphasis on healthy fats like olive oil and avocado.

The prepared dishes are developed by nutritionists and cooked by pro chefs. This guarantees meals that are delicious and hassle-free without exceeding the limits of your selected diet. The company will also take food intolerances into account when you sign up – a rare find with prepared meal services. 

You can now pick your own meals each week, as my colleague discovered during their Fresh N Lean review. Previously, they used to be picked for you by Fresh N Lean’s chefs, so this gives you more flexibility. You can also add extras such as snacks and protein packs.

However, you don’t have customization options, since each meal is carefully crafted to meet the nutritional limits of the keto diet. But you’ll get mostly organic ingredients and gluten-free meals, which is a plus.

Ultimately, if you’re looking to stick to a keto diet with minimum effort, Fresh N Lean is a good option. However, at $7.53 per serving for the maximum box size (7 breakfasts, 7 lunches, and 7 dinners), it’s not a good fit for every budget. If you’re looking for a more flexible keto-friendly diet, you can get a better price and more variety from a service like Factor.

8. Home Chef – Best for Customization and Flexibility

Home Chef’s Carb-Conscious menu includes a good selection of low-carb dishes (less than 32g of carbs per serving). However, you have to do a bit of digging to find the ones that fit your needs, since there aren’t any filters or tags. Home Chef only uses icons to mark meals as calorie-conscious (a red heart), carb-conscious (a slice of brown bread), and vegetarian (a green leaf). 

Home Chef displays allergens for each recipe, so it’s easy to avoid dishes that might not sit well with you. You also get plenty of customization options, including the ability to swap, upgrade, or double-up on the protein in almost all recipes with the Customize It feature.

Each week, the menu includes around 10 keto-friendly meals (marked as low-carb). These include super-speedy meal kits like Pork Enchilada Lettuce Wraps or Teriyaki Salmon with Broccoli and Bok Choy. There are also more traditional recipes, like the Pesto-Parmesan Chicken with Tuscan-Style Green Beans. Depending on your choices, recipes take anywhere from 10 to 45+ minutes.

Home Chef offers a whole range of low-prep options, including Oven- and Grill-Ready dishes and 15-Minute Meal Kits. My colleague’s tried-and-tested Home Chef review goes into more detail about the menu and its varying meal types.

There’s also a well-stocked section of Extras, with options for breakfasts, lunches, smoothies, desserts, snacks, and more. Just keep in mind that each extra is an added cost to your weekly box since these are priced separately. The same is true for some of the customization options.

Meals are individually priced, but most are fairly budget-friendly, starting at $7.99 per serving. With a maximum box size of 6 meals for 6 people, Home Chef is a good option for families of all sizes.

9. Snap Kitchen – Best Gluten-Free Keto Meals

Snap Kitchen has a solid range of prepared keto meals (less than 20 g carbs per serving). You’ll find around 6 keto-friendly meals and 16 low-carb recipes (less than 30 g of net carbs per serving) each week, so it’s rather easy to stay well within your daily limit.

Snap Kitchen offers a diverse menu (30+ recipes every week), with most recipes at under 500 calories. Plus, it features a wide range of dishes from different cuisines, including Asian, Central American, and Middle Eastern. 

The menu also includes dishes that suit other specific diets. Therefore, besides keto and low-carb recipes, you can also find meals that fit the paleo diet and high-protein (30 to 40 g of protein) recipes. Moreover, all the recipes on Snap Kitchen’s menu are gluten-free. This is great news for people with gluten sensitivities and intolerances.

The meals are delivered fresh and are free of hormones, preservatives, and other junk. My colleague conducted a deep-dive review with more details about this service.

Some may not be a fan of the small portion sizes, but this is to be expected from a service as hyper-focused on nutrition as Snap Kitchen. You might find yourself wanting extra portions of meals like Chicken Piccata or Herb-Crusted Salmon.

Snap Kitchen starts at $9.66 per serving when you order 12 meals per week, which I find to be pretty steep. The price per serving increases for smaller orders as well. I recommend Factor as an alternative if you want more variety at a friendlier price.

Quick Comparison Table

Tips for Choosing the Best Keto Meal Delivery Service

Whether you’re new to the keto diet and looking for an easy way to start or a keto-pro looking to broaden your horizons, there’s a keto meal delivery service out there for you. I’ll walk you through a few of the key factors to look out for.

• Prepared meals vs. meal kits:  If you desire ultimate convenience and zero-prep, look for services that provide prepared meals. If you aim to improve your cooking skills or want to customize your dishes, seek out meal kits. Green Chef is a great example of a meal kit service with a solid keto-friendly offer.

• Variety: One of the hardest things about the keto diet is that it can become monotonous and make you not want to eat steak with a side of veggies ever again! A meal delivery service with a weekly-changing menu, like Factor, can help keep your meals fresh and interesting. For those with fixed menus, make sure there’s enough variety that you won’t get bored.

• Flexibility: Easy cancelation, pausing your subscription, and changing the date of your delivery are all important for a high-quality meal delivery service, particularly if you decide to come off keto for a while. 

• Budget: It goes without saying that you should choose a meal delivery service that isn’t going to blow your weekly grocery budget. Consider shipping costs, too, when totaling up whether or not a service is affordable for you.

FAQ

What is the cost of a keto meal delivery service?

How do I know if a meal delivery service is keto-friendly?

Look for a dedicated keto meal plan or for low-carb options. All of the services on my list offer keto meals, however, some will have a dedicated keto meal plan, like Green Chef or Trifecta, and others, like Factor or Home Chef, offer low-carb meals without a named plan.

Can I customize my meals to fit my dietary needs?

Yes, many meal delivery services offer customization options. However, services that offer dedicated keto meal plans with ready-made meals, like Trifecta, don’t allow room for customization. That’s because each meal is carefully crafted to meet the nutritional requirements of the keto diet.
