Miami has plenty of international influence in its culture and food. It’s also a big, busy city with a fast-paced lifestyle, so food planning and prep might be the last thing on your mind. That’s where using a meal delivery service might make your life a little easier.
I'm a professional meal delivery service reviewer and compiled a top 10 list for you. Each meal delivery service on this list serves Miami and can deliver convenient meal kits and microwave-ready meals right to your doorstep.
Blue Apron wins my top spot as the best in Miami, thanks to its restaurant-quality recipes and high-quality ingredients. Every service on this list has something to offer. Whether you’re vegan, keto, or gluten-free, you’ll find a service with recipes to suit your diet and lifestyle.

Current deal: Enjoy $180 off across your first 6 orders
Blue Apron caters to individuals, couples, or small families by offering menus for 2 and 4 people. The majority of its dishes draw inspiration from Mediterranean cuisine, intertwined with classic American and Asian touches. To make your meals truly distinctive, they even feature bespoke seasoning blends. You’ll find internationally-inspired dishes like the Oven-Baked Spanish Chorizo Rice with Peppers and Creamy Fig Sauce (pictured above).
Each week the menu offers 16 meal kits tailored to 4 plans, including Wellness, Vegetarian, and Signature for Four. The Wellness plan features carb- and calorie-conscious recipes that have been nutritionist- and WW-approved, and the Signature for 4 features easy prep meals that are great for families of 4.
Some recipes even have a customization option to swap proteins or Make it Vegetarian. For example, the Shrimp and Spicy Sesame Sauce Make it Vegetarian option allows you to swap the sustainably-sourced shrimp for 2 pasture-raised eggs. Each week, about 9 or 10 recipes on the Signature menu allow customizations.
You can add extras such as breakfasts, sides, and desserts to your weekly order. Think Smoked Gouda and Egg Biscuits with Red Peppers and Chives, and a Roasted Brussels Sprout Salad with Arugula and Creamy Feta Dressing.
Blue Apron has a small selection of microwave-ready Heat & Eat meals as well. These are single-serving meals best for those days when you just want the most convenient meal prep solution. You can purchase extra proteins, too, like shrimp, scallops, chorizo, chicken, and more. My colleague’s in-depth review looks at the menu in greater detail.
The Marketplace is a standout feature of Blue Apron’s service. Blue Apron’s bespoke spices, wines, and kitchen utensils are all available. Seasoning options range from Za'atar to Mexican-inspired, wine bundles include all types of wine, from reds to sparkling, and you can purchase utensils required by meal kit recipes that you don’t already have in your kitchen.
Blue Apron is one of the few services offering a wine pairing and delivery service. If you’re a wine fan or just learning about your palate, this service is a great way to discover which wines work for you. Each meal kit includes pairing suggestions in the recipe card, so you’ll know which bottle will taste best with your dish.
Blue Apron's meal kits start at $5.74 per serving when you order the maximum of 4 recipes for 4 people per week. The minimum order is 2 meals of 2 servings each per week. Overall, Blue Apron is an excellent option for those willing to spend about 30 minutes prepping ingredients for a home-cooked meal.
Recipes made for busy, athletic lifestyles
35 microwave-ready recipes and 40+ add-ons each week
5 plans including Keto, Protein Plus, Vegan & Veggie, Calorie Smart, and Chef’s Choice
Current deal: Up to $276 off!
Factor earns a top spot on my list due to its fantastic flavors and convenience. While microwavable meals can be hit or miss, Factor demonstrates that you can indeed savor restaurant-quality dishes in just minutes.
Your meals will always arrive fresh and never frozen, setting Factor apart from most other prepared meal delivery services. It recommends consuming the meals fresh, but you can easily fridge or freeze meals in the trays they arrive in to extend their shelf life. My colleague tested Factor’s service and meals and said if “healthy, prepared dinners are your goal – then Factor is up there with some of the best”.
Catering to various dietary needs, Factor also offers 5 meal plans. Plans include Chef’s Choice, Keto, Calorie Smart, Vegan & Veggie, and Protein Plus. The balanced Chef's Choice plan suits the hectic lifestyles of busy Miamians, and their keto menu stands out with around 15 high-protein, moderate-fat, low-carb options each week.
Though Factor includes vegan and vegetarian dishes in its menu, its plant-based offerings are somewhat limited, with only about 5 options available each week. Add-ons are also geared more toward keto-eaters and omnivores. Nevertheless, they serve as a convenient way to incorporate meat-free days into your meal plan.
Factor prides itself on using high-quality ingredients from humane, sustainable sources for its produce and proteins. While it's not an organic service (and lacks detailed information about ingredient sourcing), you’ll still find high-quality meals that taste great.
You can see a complete list of ingredients for each recipe on the website. It also notes which common allergens might be present in the dish and which cross-contaminations might have happened during meal prep. Note that no customization is available for any meal as they all come fully prepared.
Your Factor subscription includes a complimentary 20-minute nutrition coaching session with an in-house dietitian. This feature makes it an ideal choice for those looking to lose weight, boost fitness levels, or revamp their eating habits. What’s unique about Factor’s free consultation is that you can take it before you subscribe, which allows you to determine more certainly whether Factor meals optimize your diet and fitness lifestyle.
Factor's meal pricing starts at $6.19 per serving, but costs increase for smaller orders. With a minimum order of 6 single-serving meals per week and the option to purchase up to 18, it's perfect for stocking up your fridge.
Family-friendly meals made with farm-fresh ingredients
60+ recipes and tons of market items every week
Dietary options include vegetarian, pescatarian, and low-calorie
Current deal: 18 free meals + first box ships free + 3 surprise gifts with code DR18HF
HelloFresh stands out as a fantastic family-oriented menu, providing top-notch, fresh ingredients at an attractive price point. You can select from over 60 recipes each week, which include a blend of Hall of Fame favorites and internationally-inspired meals.
It offers 6 versatile meal plans. These are Meat & Veggies, Veggie, Family-Friendly, Fit & Wholesome (under 25-minute prep and calorie-conscious meals), Quick & Easy (recipes under 25 minutes), and Pescatarian. While HelloFresh initially chooses your recipes based on your selected plan, you have the freedom to swap recipes and mix and match between plans.
Every HelloFresh meal kit includes clearly labeled recipe cards in your box that are a breeze to follow, even for novices. It didn't astonish me that our expert reviewer, after trying it out, stated "the recipes were well structured and yielded incredibly delicious meals.".
The cuisine primarily features American and Mediterranean inspiration, with a touch of Asian influence. Take, for instance, the Japanese-inspired Sweet Heat Shrimp Tempura Bowls with Sesame-Roasted Broccoli and Quick Pickles (pictured above) – it showcases a fusion of Japanese elements with its sesame, tempura, seafood, and rice combination.
HelloFresh's HelloCustom feature offers excellent customization options, expanding the variety of dishes available. This feature enables you to swap or remove proteins in some entrees. However, note that customization comes with a cost of $0.99 – $3.49 per serving, depending on the proteins you exchange.
Ingredient availability affects swapping possibilities, so in 1 week you might be able to exchange salmon for beef in a particular recipe, but the next week you might not have that option for the same dish.
Moreover, you can stock up on essential groceries from the HelloFresh Market, including produce, spices, and desserts. If you're new to meal delivery services, HelloFresh is an excellent starting point.
One drawback of using HelloFresh is the lack of diet filters on the main menu. You need to manually browse the menu and recipe cards to determine which recipes best suit your needs. This can be time-consuming if you have specific dietary restrictions or need to avoid certain ingredients and reduce the overall convenience factor the meal delivery services aim to offer.
HelloFresh allows you to order between 2 and 6 recipes per week for either 2 or 4 people across all meal plans. Prices per serving begin at $3.32.
Conveniently prepped ingredients and marinades
30 recipes each week
7 dietary options include keto, gluten free, plant-based, and more
Green Chef's primary appeal lies in its organic ingredients and its ability to cater to various dietary needs. Green Chef is the first primarily organic meal delivery service and uses only USDA-certified and CCOF-certified organic produce in its recipes. This means all produce is hormone and antibiotic-free.
Each week, the menu features 30 recipes and 7 plans, including Keto, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, Protein-Packed, Fast & Fit, and Mediterranean. Each recipe on the weekly menu is labeled according to which diet plan it’s part of. For example, the Creamy Ancho Turkey Soup with cabbage, roasted peppers, tomato, cotija, and toasted pepitas (pictured above) is part of the Keto, Gluten-Free, and Fast & Fit menus.
Meal plans are flexible in that you can mix and match meals from any plan, meaning you have continuous access to the complete menu. Personally, I enjoy incorporating mostly Mediterranean meals into my diet, but I also like to eat Keto meals. So, I appreciate the opportunity to order a meal like the Salmon With Creamy Dill Sauce kale salad with tomato, cabbage, olives, and dates that’s on the Keto and Mediterranean menus.
To simplify the cooking process, Green Chef preps meal kits with ready-made sauces and spice blends, and certain vegetables arrive washed and chopped. This reduces your time spent in the kitchen. However, you won't find any pre-cooked meals here. For that, consider Factor as an alternative.
The service also provides a variety of add-ons to enhance your weekly delivery. Like the main menu, the selection varies from week to week, but you can generally expect a nice assortment of proteins, breakfast items, and side dishes for an additional fee, including vibrant salads, sandwiches, and oatmeal.
These premium ingredients come with a heftier price tag, but I believe it's a worthwhile investment for those who prioritize eating organic as their version of healthy. When a colleague of mine sampled Green Chef at home, they discovered that the top-notch ingredients resulted in more flavorful meals.
Prices start at $5.99 per serving if you order 4 meals for 6 people per week. The ability to order for groups of 6 makes this an excellent option for larger families, provided you can manage the expense. The minimum order size consists of 3 meals for 2 people.
Customize It feature lets you swap or double-up on protein
19 meal kits and 15 – 17 easy prep meals each week, plus add-ons
Dietary options include carb- and calorie-conscious and vegetarian
Home Chef's vast customization options truly set it apart. The already impressive weekly menu of over 30 meals expands even further when considering the numerous additional protein choices available. Be aware, though, that protein substitutions typically come with an extra cost.
You can customize recipes that have a Customize It button on the recipe card, whether that means upgrading from chicken to steak or replacing pork with shrimp. For example, Customize It protein swap options in the above-pictured Argentinian-Style Steak Flautas include chicken breasts, ground beef, or ground pork. Interestingly, there's no option to modify side dishes, unlike what you'd find with HelloFresh.
My colleague tested Home Chef and described their experience as "practically flawless," praising the meal quality and the added bonus of leftovers. You can check out their review of Home Chef’s complete service here.
Another advantage of Home Chef is its variety of cooking and prep choices. These range from standard meal kits to more elaborate Culinary Collection meals, which come at a higher price due to the premium ingredients utilized.
For those who prefer simplicity, Home Chef also offers quick, 15-minute meal kits and oven-ready selections that merely require assembly in the provided pan. In fact, Home Chef has an entire sub-menu called Fresh and Easy dedicated to low-effort recipes, which has earned its own spot on my list.
However, Home Chef doesn't cater particularly well to custom diets. You can filter by carb-conscious, calorie-conscious, and vegetarian, but there aren’t any other accommodations like gluten-free or dairy-free. Recipes are almost never vegan-friendly.
And the extras menu is extensive enough for you to create your own meals. Imagine a Breakfast Frittata with cheese, sausage, and bacon, with a Mediterranean Crunch salad and La Colombe Mocha Latte for breakfast.
The starting price is $7.99 per serving, and you can order between 2 and 6 meals per week for 2, 4, or 6 people. Additionally, for an extra fee, you can include extras in your box, such as snacks, salads, soups, and more.
Home Chef’s line of easy-prep meals
20+ dishes to choose from each week
Dietary options include calorie-conscious, carb-conscious, and vegetarian
Fresh and Easy is owned by Home Chef but only offers easy-prep meals perfect for those with hectic schedules. Although its menu isn't as extensive as its parent company's, the meal kits maintain the same high-quality ingredients and flavor profiles.
Fresh and Easy is a more convenient service, as all meals are ready in under 30 minutes. Its menu consists entirely of low-prep meals with portioned, chopped, and nearly ready-to-cook ingredients.
The available options include microwaveable meals and oven-ready or grill-ready dishes. Beyond the main courses, you can supplement your order with some fully prepared options on the menu like salads and breads. If you’d like more information about ordering, my colleague wrote an extensive review of Fresh and Easy’s full meal delivery service.
I appreciate that the Customize It feature by Home Chef is still available and that you can find a lot of the same easy prep recipes as you can find on the Home Chef menu. For example, the Crispy Chicken and Black Garlic Crema with Rockefeller Mashed Potatoes (pictured above) includes options to swap the chicken for boneless pork chops or antibiotic-free boneless skinless chicken breasts.
Similar to Home Chef, Fresh & Easy offers veggie, calorie- and carb-conscious meals, with most recipes drawing from American cuisine. However, you'll also encounter occasional dishes like Greek Zucchini Tostadas and Spicy Plantain Black Bean Tacos. When placing your order, you can opt to exclude specific ingredients, such as sesame seeds, shellfish, beef, and so forth.
It's important to note that Fresh and Easy doesn't prepare food in a certified allergen-free facility. As a result, even though ingredients are individually packaged, there remains a risk of cross-contamination. Those with allergies should carefully review each recipe's ingredient list.
Fresh and Easy isn't the most environmentally friendly service in terms of recyclability. I appreciate that all ingredients are carefully packaged to protect delicate items like herbs from being damaged in transit. However, the amount of plastic used is somewhat excessive. On a positive note, I do like how oven-ready meals come in oven-safe aluminum pans.
As with Home Chef, you can order between 2 and 6 recipes, with up to 6 servings per week. Prices start at $7.99 per serving for the largest order.
Dietitian-designed meals and dietary support
150+ recipes across 6 plans
6 dietary options including diabetic-friendly and menopause-friendly
The convenience of BistroMD's prepared meals is hard to overlook. Delivering low-calorie, fully prepared, microwave-ready breakfasts, lunches, and dinners to your door, this service simplifies tracking your food, losing weight, and managing specific health conditions.
BistroMD was founded by Dr. Cederquist, a bariatric physician who specializes in helping people lose weight. She created the service to give her patients more accessible, well-balanced, and nutritious meals. Dr. Cederquist collaborates with a team of registered dietitians and weight loss professionals to ensure BistroMD's recipes promote healthy weight loss.
You’ll find 6 plans available, each designed for 1200-1600 calorie-per-day diets. These plans include Gluten-Free, Heart-Healthy, Diabetic, Menopause-Friendly, Whole30, and Keto-Flex programs. For example, the Tilapia with Orange Parsley Sauce (pictured above) has only 320 calories and is part of the Keto-Flex menu.
Additionally, you’ll get access to BistroMD's registered dietitians and fitness experts after signing up. These professionals can help you optimize your BistroMD diet plan and fitness journey.
Each serving contains approximately 300-450 kcal, helping you stay on track with portion and macronutrient counts. Meals are prepared with fresh ingredients, which are then flash-frozen to preserve nutrients. Once delivered, just microwave and enjoy.
One downside to BistroMD's service is the lack of customization options. Meals are designed to meet specific macronutrient counts based on your chosen plan and are meant to be consumed as is. While this isn't ideal if you want to avoid certain ingredients, it's convenient for those who prefer minimal meal planning and preparation.
You can choose to order 2 or 3 meals per day for 5 or 7 days per week, giving you the flexibility to select up to 21 meals a week for the ultimate diet-adherence convenience. One reviewer was particularly impressed with BistroMD's dessert and snack options. For more information check out this review of BistroMD's full meal delivery service.
The maximum plan for 21 meals costs $8.24 per serving. Overall, BistroMD provides a convenient and personalized service for individuals looking to transition to a low-calorie diet. BistroMD even offers a 15% discount for couples if you and your partner want to diet together.
Recipes curated by kitchen guru Martha Stewart
100+ dishes on the menu per week
Dietary options include vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and more
Marley Spoon sets itself apart with an extensive and varied 100+ recipe selection. You'll find something for everyone on this menu. The service caters to a wide range of dietary needs, offering recipes tagged as dairy-free, gluten-free, and low-calorie. However, you can’t filter the menu by your diet or allergen – you’ll have to scroll and scan.
The menu primarily features classic American comfort foods, but there's an abundance of internationally-inspired options for those seeking more adventurous flavors. You'll discover familiar favorites such as tacos and pasta dishes, as well as more globally-inspired recipes like the Thai Red Curry (pictured above). This makes it perfect for families with picky eaters or anyone who likes to mix up their weekly cuisine.
Marley Spoon aims to be affordable, so there are no diet-specific plans available. This menu is best suited for individuals who don't follow a vegan, keto, or low-calorie diet. While you might come across a few options catering to a specific diet, you'll need to scrutinize recipe cards and nutritional information. If you're looking for more diet-specific plan options, you may want to consider Factor or Green Chef.
For such an affordable service, Marley Spoon offers great customization options. Recipes with customizable options have a yellow Customizable icon on the recipe card. For instance, you can add chicken strips or shrimp to the vegetarian Fast! Spinach Thai Red Curry and Chicken Strips with Quinoa and Peanuts (pictured above).
Do note that the entire menu is subject to allergen cross-contamination, so if you require better accommodations for common allergies, you might want to explore services like Green Chef or Purple Carrot.
A drawback of this service is that it assumes you have uncommon utensils and pantry staples that most other services don't require. However, it compensates for this by listing all the extra ingredients, utensils, and cookware needed to prepare each recipe.
Our reviewer was very impressed when they tried Marley Spoon at home. They said that anyone who wants to start cooking at home more often will love what Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon has to offer.
This service is also recognized for being 100% carbon neutral. Moreover, the meals are designed to minimize food waste, with kits containing only the exact amount of ingredients needed for each recipe. This leads to reduced packaging, less waste production, and minimized food waste.
You can choose between 2 and 6 recipes per week for 2 or 4 people, making it an ideal service for couples or small families. The minimum order is 4 recipes, and the maximum is 24. Once you've signed up, you can add desserts and sides to your order. Per serving prices start at $2.99.
Both meal kits and prepared meals available
16 entrees each week, plus breakfast and lunch picks
Dietary options include high-protein, gluten-free, soy-free, and more
It can be very easy to fall into a routine of soy burgers and imitation "meats" when following a vegan diet. Thankfully, Purple Carrot simplifies the process of incorporating 3 plant-based meals per day with its meal kits and microwave-ready vegan meals.
The menu at Purple Carrot is modest in size, but it completely rotates every week. You can choose from a selection of breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, with the simpler-to-prepare recipes highlighted in the Less Prep menu.
The cuisine is international, showcasing flavors from Asia, Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, and West Africa each week. For example, you’ll find meal kit recipes like Japanese Gnocchi with Miso Tomato Butter and Bok Choy (pictured above), which is a mix of Japanese and Italian foods.
The food quality is exceptional, as it primarily consists of organic ingredients and avoids artificial flavors or preservatives to maintain freshness and enhance the taste. My colleague tried Purple Carrot at home and proclaimed it well-balanced enough for anyone who who wants to learn how to turn veggies into delicious and satisfying meals.
Moreover, Purple Carrot recipes seldom rely on processed meat substitutes. Instead, vegetables take center stage in each recipe, acting as the primary source of flavor. For instance, the Sesame Orange Tofu with Roasted Green Beans and Sticky Rice highlights sesame seeds, orange, and green beans as the stars of this dish.
Out of the 16 recipes offered each week, 8 are meal kits and 8 are microwave-ready meals. These heat-and-eat dishes are ideal for busy plant-based vegan eaters who want to bring a meal with them to work for easy prep, vegan-friendly lunch or dinner.
In addition to the meal kit and prepared meal menus, you’ll find Purple Carrot’s Plantry. The Plantry offers about 8 plant-based snacks and a few pantry staples like vegan cream cheeses, crackers, dressings, and healthy meat replacement alternatives like Pumfu Chorizo. While the main menu completely rotates each week, the Plantry menu doesn’t rotate as frequently, so you might see the same Plantry items several weeks in a row.
You can also opt for High Protein and Gluten-Free plans. You’ll get at least 20 g of protein per meal with the High Protein option, from sources like beans and quinoa. Although Purple Carrot cannot ensure complete avoidance of cross-contamination, it offers the Gluten-Free option which includes meals with no gluten added.
Unfortunately, you can’t combine meal kits and prepared meals. You'll need to decide between receiving all meal kits or all prepared meals. You can open 2 accounts and use 1 for meal kits and 1 for prepared meals, but that means you’ll pay shipping for 2 orders.
Purple Carrot's convenience comes at a premium, as prepared meals start at $13, regardless of how many meals you order each week. Prepared meals are single portions and can be ordered in bundles of 6, 8, or 10 meals per week.
The minimum order for meal kits is 3 recipes for 2 people, and the maximum is 3 meal kits for 4 people per week. For the maximum order, per serving prices are $8.50.
Affordable per serving prices with great customization options
80+ recipes per week
Recipe tags like low-calorie, gluten-free, dairy-free, seafood, spicy
As Miami's most affordable meal delivery service, Dinnerly offers incredible value for money. Remarkably, it provides an extensive menu of 80+ recipes per week, including some sustainable proteins and a range of organic produce.
Owned by Marley Spoon, you'll notice numerous similarities between the 2 in terms of recipe options, service features, and menu tags.
It's important to mention that Dinnerly’s recipes usually consist of only a few ingredients. Consider the No Chop! Low-Carb Organic Beef Spanakopita with Spinach and Feta meal kit (shown above), which features ground beef, baby spinach, feta cheese, and Mediterranean pita bread, along with pantry staples like salt, garlic, and an egg.
For vegetarians and pescatarians, Dinnerly offers a surprising dietary variety, with around 10 vegetarian-friendly and 3-4 pescatarian-friendly dishes every week. Furthermore, the weekly menu even includes 25+ “no added gluten” entrees – a rare find among budget-conscious meal delivery services.
Once you sign up, you can also order from Dinnerly’s market. Market by Dinnerly provides a selection of pantry staples, sides, desserts, and proteins. You'll also find microwave-ready meals like Beef Bolognese and Truffle Butter Alfredo.
Our reviewer observed minimal plastic and paper waste in Dinnerly’s packaging relative to the typical meal delivery service. Unlike many meal delivery services that package ingredients individually, Dinnerly groups them together – an approach that's both cost-effective and eco-friendly!
To minimize waste even more, Dinnerly doesn’t include paper recipe cards in your delivery. While having paper recipe cards is easy – saves you from scrolling through mobile screens or typing on keyboards with sticky fingers – you can view recipes online.
However, recipes also lack step-by-step images, which may be challenging for newer cooks. Personally, I value visual guidance while cooking. Blue Apron excels in this area, offering detailed pictures and even follow-along videos.
The minimum order is 3 meals for 2 people each week, and the maximum order is 6 meals for 3 people each week. Prices per serving begin at $2.12 when you order the maximum number of meals.

You might be pondering how to select the best meal delivery service that aligns with your lifestyle and dietary requirements. Here are four expert tips to guide you towards an informed decision:
Consider dietary restrictions: Take note of any specific dietary needs or preferences you have, such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or low-carb options. Each service offers different dietary accommodations and ingredient customization, so you’ll want to note which ones fit your requirements. For example, Green Chef offers a variety of specialized meal plans that cater to different dietary needs such as vegan and keto.
Consider time and convenience: Evaluate how much time you're willing to spend on meal preparation, as some meal delivery services provide pre-prepped ingredients while others require more cooking. You won’t want to end up with a week’s worth of meal kits that take far longer to prepare than you imagined. Fresh and Easy, for instance, offers a selection of meals with minimal prep work.
Consider menu variety: Look for a meal delivery service that offers a diverse and rotating menu to prevent boredom with your meals. Some menus offer primarily classic American fare, while others offer internationally-inspired recipes that you might like to try. HelloFresh is known for its wide array of creative and flavorful meal options.
Consider cost and value: Compare the pricing of different meal delivery services to find one that fits your budget while still providing high-quality ingredients and delicious recipes. Keep an eye on shipping, too, which can range from $8.99 – $28.99 per delivery depending on your order size and zip code. Dinnerly is a great choice for those seeking affordable, tasty meals without breaking the bank. To make it even cheaper, you can use our discount code – Save 60% off 1st order + 15% off next 5 orders.
Blue Apron is the best overall meal delivery service in Miami. It offers meal kits of gourmet recipes, high-quality ingredients, and customized seasonings. You can also try its wine pairing service for fancy nights in or choose microwave-ready meals for quick-and-easy options.
Consider your dietary needs, budget, and taste preferences. Look for a service that offers a wide variety of meal options for your diet and that uses fresh, high-quality ingredients. You might want to read through the service’s FAQs or contact a customer support agent. Green Chef has great meal plan options, helpful live customer service agents, and an easily navigable FAQ.
You can expect a wide variety of meals from these meal delivery services, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-carb, keto, paleo, pescatarian, low-calorie, carb-conscious, high protein, soy-free, and more. Each service offers its own unique menu and recipes to choose from, so you can find the perfect meals for your taste preferences and dietary needs.
You can expect to pay around $9-12 per serving, but the cost of meal delivery services varies depending on the company and the meal plan you choose. Some services may be more or less expensive. Additionally, many services offer discounts and promotions for first-time customers or bulk orders. HelloFresh is excellent for a family-friendly option offering 80+ recipes each week that isn’t too expensive.
Yes, most of these meal delivery services allow some ingredient swapping and upgrades. You can often choose your protein, select specific ingredients you want to exclude and adjust portion sizes to fit your needs. Some services even offer fully customizable meal plans where you can pick and choose from a wide range of options. Home Chef lets you swap or upgrade the protein in most meals, while Marley Spoon lets you upgrade proteins, add deserts, swap for easier prep options, and more.
