Best Healthy Meal Delivery Services

Sunbasket specializes in meal kits but extends its offerings into fully-prepped single-serving meals and a large collection of third-party add-ons, like pressed juices, egg bites, instant noodle bowls, and snacks. It’s almost like an online bodega. The kits and prepped meals (Sunbasket calls them Fresh & Ready) are all lunch and dinner dishes. While subscription settings max out at five meals per week, you can manually order many more—up to eight units of each two-serving meal kit or Fresh & Ready meal on the company’s large menu.

Daily Harvest offers smoothies, “harvest bowls,” flatbreads, soups, “forager bowls,” chia bowls, lattes, oat bowls, non-dairy ice creams, and more. All products are shipped frozen, which the company says helps to preserve freshness and nutritional content. The company says, "the vast majority of the ingredients they use are organic," and the ingredient lists indicate which are organic and which are not. The site is well-designed and the menu can be filtered according to likes, dislikes, and dietary needs. All dishes are single-serving.

Hungryroot works a little differently from most meal delivery services. Rather than shipping prepped meals or meal kits, the company delivers healthy groceries and simple recipes, all based on your preferences. Hungryroot has many of the ingredients you would expect to find in a grocery store, though customers may have trouble finding certain items, like fresh herbs and spices. The recipes won’t call for anything not included in your deliveries (besides oil, salt, and pepper), but that doesn’t mean you can’t add your own touches.
