Best Vegetarian Meal Delivery Services

Coined “America’s most popular meal kit," HelloFresh remains the largest meal kit delivery service in the United States, and for many good reasons—one being the variety of delicious dishes, vegetarian included. Everything is completely customizable, with recipes changing frequently to ensure dinnertime doesn’t become stagnant. 

Calorie smart meals, at around 650 calories per meal, and crowd-pleasing hall of fame staples that never go away are available, too. It makes for an easy way to ensure someone else does all the legwork and calorie counting while you sit back and enjoy delightful meals. And don’t think just because it’s all veggies that meals are lackluster. Think everything from zucchini and tomato flatbreads to crispy chickpea tabbouleh bowls, and even mushroom Gemelli, to satisfy even the pickiest vegetarian.

Shake it up and add in side dishes such as mouth-watering garlic bread, to enhance and complete meals. Plus, HelloFresh has a wine club, cookbook recipes so you can recreate favorite recipes, and much more. 

Availability: HelloFresh ships nationwide (excluding Hawaii and Alaska).

Pricing: Meals start at $7.49. A no-commitment plan allows customers to skip, swap recipes and cancel at any time.

Founded by Mark Fachler and Monica Klausner, who grew up in Costa Rica, Veestro was born on the idea that a simple grab-and-go meal doesn’t have to be calorific junk food. And its lengthy a la carte menu is perfect for singles or couples seeking healthy, sustainable meals crafted from trustworthy sources (aka plants).

Mealtime will be a breeze as everything arrives ready to heat up and eat—no sorting, chopping, or cooking involved. Choose a subscription in increments of 10, 20, or 30 meals and pick from an array of standout dinner items (and a few easy, breezy breakfast items too, if you wish). 

Going beyond just vegetarian, filter by dietary preferences and restrictions such as nut-free, soy-free, kosher, low-calorie, gluten-free, and even high-protein. South Indian coconut stew, country fried chick'n (with vegan chicken that will knock your socks off as a vegetarian), and portobello steak dinner are a few delights to look forward to. For those counting calories, a weight loss plan allows a subscription of three meals a day for five days at approximately 1,200 calories. The menu is extensive and meal reviews from other customers act as a helpful tool when narrowing down items. 

Availability: Veestro ships nationwide (excluding Alaska, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii), and meals are shipped in insulated boxes.

Price: Their cheapest option, which gets you 10 standout meals for around $12 per meal, is a great deal for singles.
