Green Chef is a sought-after service for those seeking healthy, organic meals. It is the first meal delivery service company to become USDA-certified organic and ingredients are responsibly sourced and sustainably grown, ensuring everything that goes into your body is good for you. Most of the ingredients are organic and the company uses recyclable, compostable, and reusable materials, also making it healthy for the environment.

Recipes, developed by a professional chef, include mouthwatering dishes such as buttermilk brined chicken, teriyaki pork meatballs, and Portobello gyros, showcasing that healthy can still be creative. There are a variety of different plans to meet dietary needs, including paleo, keto, plant-powered, and even balanced-living, which is a top pick for those looking to stay on track with diets and such. 

Recipe cards match color-coded ingredient containers, making it super easy to assemble and cook. The best part? All meals are designed to be made in under 30-minutes, from start to finish.

Availability: Green Chef delivers across the United States, excluding Alaska, Hawaii, and parts of Louisiana.

Pricing: Starting at $7 per meal.

Best for Families: One Potato

One Potato

 One Potato
Very Good

Getting kids to eat organic can be tricky, but luckily, One Potato makes mealtime a breeze. The company strives to deliver delicious food that the entire family wants to eat—and not kid’s meals for grownups, or grownup food that kids have no interest in eating.

Seasonal, farm-fresh options, such as spinach ricotta gnocchi and chicken paillard rotate on a weekly basis to shake things up, but there’s an ongoing picky eater menu with staples such as tacos, burgers, and pan roast chicken as a foolproof dinner backup. Omnivore, vegetarian, gluten-free, and nut-free meals are also available. 

Ingredients arrive pre-chopped and pre-measured in recyclable, insulated boxes, with recipe cards included for easy direction to ensure more time is spent with family at the table vs. shopping and prepping.

Availability: Currently delivers to the West Coast. Ships to select states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington (certain zip codes excluded), along with several zip codes in Montana and New Mexico; check the website to verify zip code.

Pricing: Starting at around $7 per serving; Customers can pause or skip at any time.

For On-the-Go Lifestyles: Daily Harvest

Daily Harvest

Daily Harvest

A company built on giving customers a healthy dose of organic fruits and vegetables, Daily Harvest is one of the best options for those with busy, on-the-go lifestyles. Never sacrifice taste, no matter how busy you are. Farm-frozen ingredients, including both sweet and savory options, arrive at your doorstep nearly ready to consume—and offer an instant energy pick-me-up. 

Whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there’s no shortage of tasty options. From tomato and bell pepper gazpacho (chilled soup) in the summer months and warm cauliflower and leek soup in the fall, endless options for bowls and smoothies, and even nutrition-packed lattes (like Chaga and chocolate), eating organic will never become stale. Simply choose from 9, 12, or 24 cups delivered weekly or monthly, and the rest is a breeze. 

Filters give customers the ability to really pick and choose recipes that work for their dietary needs or personal likes and dislikes when it comes to ingredients. Taking it a step further, Daily Harvest also created results-oriented filers such as beautifying, energizing, and workout recovery to help cater to specific needs. Items are delivered frozen and the most work you’ll have to worry about is flipping on the blender switch—no chopping necessary. And no second-guessing mediocre produce from the market, as it's as fresh and organic as it gets. 

Availability: Delivery is available to 95 percent of the United States (check online with zip code to confirm); customers may cancel at any time.

Pricing: Starting at around $6 per cup for a monthly subscription of 24 cups; you may skip or pause at any time.

Fastest to Prepare: Fresh N’ Lean

Fresh N' Lean

Fresh N' Lean

All meal delivery services simplify life, and then there’s Fresh N’ Lean that really simplifies life. Meals are 100 percent organic and come fully-cooked and ready to eat upon delivery. Their claim of meals being ready in under three minutes is a customer favorite, as it shaves hours off slaving in the kitchen each week — while still delivering delicious meals on the dinner table. 

Seasonal, chef-driven recipes that contain good-for-you ingredients are what you’ll get with each order. Sink your teeth into dishes such as Cajun pasta with sustainable shrimp and sausage, cage-free turkey meatballs with squash and peppers and Southwest grass-fed beef chili, while customers rave about coconut and almond butter cups — a way to satisfy sweet tooth cravings in healthy kind of way. 

Select the meal plan that fits your personal needs, like low carb, plant-based, paleo and more. 

All recipes are dietician approved and created with seasonally and locally grown produce and arrive in BPA-free containers and recyclable packaging. 

Availability: Fresh N’ Lean delivers nationwide, anywhere in the U.S.

Pricing: Meal plans start at around $10 per meal. Skip, pause or cancel your subscription at any time.
