Sunbasket is one of the more expensive services out there. While Sunbasket offers excellent meal kits and prepared meals and a wide range of international flavors, you may want a service that offers more family-friendly comfort food.
Factor’s prepared meals offer a great selection of more sophisticated recipes, which are dietitian-designed and chef-prepared. And they cost less per serving than a comparable Sunbasket order.

Factor is an especially good choice for those on specialized diets. It’s keto and high-protein menus are especially good, and there’s also a decent selection of prepared meals for vegetarians and vegans. If you were a fan of Sunbasket’s Keto or Protein Plus meals, Factor makes adhering to your diet even easier.
The Smothered Mushroom Pork Chop pictured above is a Keto and Protein Plus meal that has just 15 g of carbs and 51 g of healthy fat to keep you in ketosis. Factor replaces the potatoes with a cauliflower mash and gives you a perfectly cooked pork chop smothered in a rich mushroom sauce.
