Best Meal Delivery Services

Founded in 2014 by chefs and technology entrepreneurs, Sunbasket offers meal delivery kits that focus on USDA organic ingredients, sustainably sourced seafood, and humanely raised meats. There are two types of meals: a Fresh & Ready meal option, which consists of fresh, ready-to-heat and eat, single-serving meals, and a Meal Kit, which is a more traditional meal kit with pre-portioned ingredients, and measured sauces for customers to cook at home.

Users can select from a wide range of dietary accommodations, including gluten- and dairy-free, vegetarian, Mediterranean, paleo, pescatarian, and diabetes-friendly. For some recipes, customers can even swap protein choices (for an additional cost). Once meals are selected, customers can add a variety of other foods, including gourmet cheeses, nuts, breakfast and lunch items, pasta and sauces, proteins, and snacks.
