Best Vegetarian Meal Delivery Services

Sunbasket is a popular meal delivery service that offers customers two styles of meal deliveries: “Fresh & Ready,” which are meals that are precooked and can be heated up in four minutes or less; or Meal Kits, which are recipes and ingredients that are delivered each week for dinner preparation in 15-45 minutes.

Customers who select meal kits have an option to pick from the following dietary accommodations: vegetarian, Paleo, gluten-free, pescatarian, Mediterranean, and diabetes-friendly. Other allergens or food preferences, such as dairy-free, soy-free, low sodium, high fiber, and low added sugar are also options users can select. Once preferences are set, Sunbasket provides a few meals, which you can edit. Some meals allow the customer to opt-out or swap certain proteins, such as substituting plant-based Impossible Burgers instead of traditional meat. Breakfasts, lunches, and snacks are also available to add on to your delivery.

One thing we love about Sunbasket is the company’s dedication to showcasing diverse cuisines, such as dishes inspired by Burmese, Moroccan, and Hungarian cuisine.

Sunbasket has a plan for two or four servings a week, with two to five dinner recipes available each week. The pricing is tiered, so the more you order, the lower your cost is per serving.

Below is an example of pricing:

• Two servings for two meals: $14.49 per serving
• Two servings for five meals: $11.49 per serving
• Four servings for two meals: $12.49 per serving
• Four servings for five meals: $11.49 per serving

Shipping is $7.99 per order, but that fee is waived for orders of $90 or more. Sunbasket ships to 46 states, leaving out Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, and North Dakota.
