The 22 Best Meal Subscription Boxes – 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards

1. HelloFresh

Image from our review.

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

HelloFresh is the most popular meal kit company in the US and there are few services that offer comparable overall value, variety of meals, and accessibility. It offers six different types of meals which include Meat & Veggies, Veggie, Family Friendly, Fit & Wholesome, Quick & Easy, and Pescatarian, and you can order 2-6 recipes per week for 2 or 4 people.

After signing up, you’ll have access to over 25 recipes each week and can filter meals by dietary needs as well as mix and match the meals you want to try. Each recipe requires 20-45 min of preparation and cooking and comes with a recipe card for step-by-step guidance. Some recent favorites for recipes include Apricot, Almond & Chickpea Tagine, and Chicken Sausage Spaghetti Bolognese.

Since the focus of HelloFresh is helping customers make their first steps towards cooking well-balanced meals at home, it offers meals that cater to the largest audience possible. As such, it's somewhat limited in its accommodations to certain diets and allergies, but you should be able to adjust your meals at home to meet certain requirements for keto, paleo, and vegan diets.

However, you cannot tailor your plan for specific allergies, but you can view each meal's nutritional label online to check for specific allergens and HelloFresh even calls out the presence of the eight major allergens whenever they're in a recipe.

2. Home Chef

Image from our review.

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

Home Chef is a meal subscription box that provides delicious, crowd-pleasing meals you can cook at home for 2, 4, or 6 people. You can order 2-6 recipes per week and choose to receive traditional recipe plans (cooking required) or Fresh and Easy (premade) meals.

Home Chef is extremely customizable and allows you to swap ingredients, double-up on proteins, and include weekly add-ons such as breakfast, dessert, or protein bundles. Most recipes can typically be made in around 30 minutes and premade meals generally require anywhere from 5-20 minutes of heating before serving.

Each week, you can choose from over 30 recipes including vegetarian, low-carb, calorie-conscious, and premium options (think wild-caught salmon, New York strip steak, and other restaurant-quality items) and you can set your dietary preferences in your profile to avoid ingredients like nuts, pork, beef, or shellfish.

While Home Chef isn't tailored to fit specific diets, it does accommodate for the following allergens: wheat, dairy, nuts, tree nuts, soy, fish, shellfish. However, Home Chef’s facility is not certified allergen-free so it's only recommended for those without severe or life-threatening allergies.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

We have been ordering from them for a couple of months now and so far everything has been delicious and really easy to make!!! My favorite part about the whole thing is that it takes the stress out of having to plan dinner and I'm learning how to cook the right way. Even my husband loves cooking these meals. The portions are very generous! They are restaurant size portions. I would say that you get about 1.5 meals out of one serving. The meals are very well packaged, have always delivered cold, no missing ingredients and always on time. The only reason for knocking it down a star is because the meals are starting to get pretty similar. A lot of them have used red meat, cream cheese and sour cream. Looking ahead for the next few weeks I do see a little bit more variety. -Bridgette

Shipping:

Delivers to 98% of the United States. Shipping is $8.99 for orders over $49.99. Additional shipping fees for orders under $49.99.

3. Tovala

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

In a sea of meal delivery subscriptions, Tovala is different. Instead of simply signing up and getting food sent to your doorstep, the barrier to entry here is higher: you have to purchase the Tovala smart oven, which scans your meals and pulls cooking instructions (time, temperature, method) from the cloud. If you've ever had mediocre results microwaving or baking a frozen meal, you can probably understand the draw here.

Tovala's recipes are designed and prepped by chefs, and the meals are shipped fresh. The oven is the final step that ensures your food is cooked just so and that all the work that goes into creating the meal truly pays off. Using a combination of cooking techniques, the oven cooks your meal perfectly; all you have to do is scan the provided QR-code, place your meal in the oven, and press start.

Pros

Cons

Shipping: The contiguous United States. (They do not yet service Hawaii or Alaska.)

4. Blue Apron

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

Blue Apron is one of the big names in the world of meal box deliveries, and they’re still regarded as one of the best. Blue Apron introduced (and perfected) many of the standards of the industry — high-quality ingredients, gourmet recipes, and a rotating weekly menu. With a low cost per plate, Blue Apron offers a mix of quality and value, and it’s our top pick for open-minded cooks looking for a great “all-around” meal subscription.

You can choose to subscribe to one of three plans which are Signature, Wellness, and Vegetarian. Also, you can order 2-4 recipes for 2 or 4 people per week.

The recipes tend to be a little on the adventurous side, with options such as Hoisin Duck & Orange Lo Mein or Tilapia & Orange-Jalapeño Salsa. However, there are plenty of options available that are more traditional in nature that the whole family will enjoy like Crispy BBQ Chicken Sandwich and Pan-Seared Chicken & Mashed Potatoes.

Weekly deliveries are customizable, but the meal kit service offers limited options for special diets apart from the pescatarian and vegetarian options. Additionally, all of its ingredients are packaged in a facility that also processes milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy so it's not the best option for those with severe allergies.

With that said, if you’re looking to order innovative dishes while keeping your budget in check, Blue Apron is still one of the best meal subscription services around.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

I highly recommend this box, it is fantastic. Everything has arrives fresh and the recipes are so easy. My 15 yr old is learning to cook so this is perfect for her. You get to pick your recipes and they make provisions for allergies! Which is awesome! Customer service is fast and friendly. -Kaylee

Shipping:

Ships to the contiguous United States. Shipping fee is $9.99.

5. EveryPlate

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

Want to try a meal subscription but you're worried that your kids won't like the food? EveryPlate is a wallet-friendly meal subscription service with kid-friendly entrees and crowd-pleasing options.

You can choose to subscribe to either the ClassicPlate, VeggiePlate, FamilyPlate, or EasyPlate plan, and can order 3-5 meals per week for 2 or 4 people. Each week features a rotating menu with 16 tasty recipes including meals that your kids will be begging to have seconds of such as Southwest Sloppy Joes, Caramelized Onion Burgers, and Easy Chicken Fajitas.

The only downside: it doesn't accommodate special dietary restrictions and allergens. However, if you’re looking for simple meals with wide appeal, EveryPlate’s family plan is a game-changer.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

I've tried so many different meal subscription kits and this one is the one we have ended up sticking with. It is truly the best bang for your buck! -Jordan

Shipping:

Delivers to most of the contiguous US. Shipping is $8.99.

6. Martha & Marley Spoon

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

Martha & Marley Spoon is a gourmet meal box delivery service with recipes from — you guessed it — Martha Stewart. This meal subscription features high-quality, pre-portioned ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes, and it’s a great choice for learning new cooking techniques.

Unlike other recipe-based meal subscriptions, you're not required to subscribe to a specific meal plan. Rather, you choose the number of people you're ordering for (2 or 4), the number of recipes you want each week (2-6), and then select meals from 40 options which fall under the following categories: Health & Diet, Vegetarian & Vegan, Meat & Fish, Under 30 Minutes, and Family-Friendly. Some of Marley Spoon's most popular recipes include Harissa Salmon with Couscous & Broccoli, Honey-Dijon Steak with Green Beans & Potatoes, and Chicken Milanese with Cucumber-Arugula Salad.

Marley Spoon does offer recipes that are adjusted to certain allergens, but it does not offer a full menu for specific allergies or diets. There are filters for meals that include dairy-free and no added gluten, but all ingredients go through the same facility and production process.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

Ive been subscribing to Martha & Marley Spoon for a couple of months now. The food is absolutely delicious. Im a terrible cook so I just let them decide what to send me (I never edit my boxes) and then I make everything exactly like Im told, no "Sherry" variations. Im telling you this food is like from a 5 star restaurant. I always think to myself "I cant believe I actually made this". I wish they would add dessert. -MSA Reader

Shipping:

Delivers to most of the contiguous US states. Shipping is $8.99.

7. Green Chef

Image from our review.

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

Green Chef is a certified organic meal delivery service that works with farmers to source sustainable, delicious ingredients. You can choose to subscribe to one of six plans which include Keto + Paleo, Vegetarian, Mediterranean, Fast & Fit, Vegan, and Gluten-Free. You're also able to receive 3 or 4 meals per week for 2, 4, or 6 people.

Green Chef offers over 20 recipes per week, all of which are made with 100% organic produce. Popular recipes include Pecan-Crusted Pork Chops, Baked Ricotta Chicken with Risotto, and Mushroom Curry Udon Bowls.

Despite being able to filter out certain allergens from your weekly recipe selection, all ingredients are processed and packaged in the same facility, and cross-contact with major food allergens may occur.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

I get the green chef vegan box and it is by far THE BEST FOOD BOX ever! Everything is organic. It’s is soooo delicious even my husband who makes fun of me being vegan looks forward to the delivery and scarfs it down with a big smile on his face. -RedHeadMama

8. Freshly

Image via Freshly.

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

Freshly is a meal subscription that sends ready-to-eat meals right to your door. You can sign up to receive anywhere from 4 to 12 meals per week and choose from 50+ recipes that include categories like Signature Collection, Purely Plant, FreshlyFit, and Protein and Sides. Popular recipes include Asian-Style Chicken & Noodles, Golden Oven-Fried Chicken & Mash, and Three-Grain Harvest Bowl.

Unlike most other subscriptions we've reviewed so far, all of Freshly's gluten-free meals are prepared in a certified gluten-free safe spot and some of its meals are made in kitchens free from peanuts and wheat as well. However, the same cannot be guaranteed or other allergies like dairy so be sure to check each meal's ingredient labels before ordering.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

I subscribed to Freshly for about 3 months. I did have some meals come unsealed, the company credited me DOUBLE what the meal was worth. The food was flavorful. It may be hard if you already are not used to eating healthy. My significant other does NOT eat healthy in the least, but commented how good it smelled. I was using them for all 3 meals of the day. I lost 17 pounds in that time, my acne cleared up quite a bit and I feel more energetic. The turkey lasagna was awesome, I enjoy the chicken parm, the sweet potato mash was yummy! I enjoyed most meals I received (although none of the fish seemed right, the salmon was good, but oily). I would highly recommend. -Kyla

Shipping:

Delivers to the contiguous US. Shipping rates vary but start at $6.99 per order.

9. Daily Harvest

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

Daily Harvest offers healthy, pre-portioned plant-based meals and drinks. You can choose from a wide variety of meal options including smoothies, bowls, flatbreads, soups, ice cream, lattes, and more - in fact, it has by far the most options for any plant-based meal subscription service we've seen.

To get started, you'll first need to decide on which size of a box you want. You can choose from small, medium, or large, with each containing 9, 14, and 24 items respectively. Then, simply choose any meal from all meal types to add to your box.

All Daily Harvest's meals can be prepared in minutes and their products never contain gluten, dairy, preservatives, fillers, or artificial ingredients. Additionally, 95% of the ingredients it uses are organic and it always goes organic for ingredients that appear on the Environmental Working Group's "dirty dozen" list.

However, keep in mind that all of Daily Harvest's food is made in a facility that processes dairy, nuts, soy, and gluten.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

I really appreciate having a simplified method of preparing unique plant based meals. With numerous superfoods included as ingredients. This is especially important in the current climate to pamper your immune system as much as possible with a healthy diet. -Jennipher

hipping:

Ships to 95% of the continental United States. Shipping is free.

10. Hungryroot

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

Hungryroot is an online grocery service that also offers a recipe-based meal delivery service as well. When you sign up with Hungryroot, there's an online quiz that will ask you questions related to your health goals and dietary needs, how many people you’re feeding, dietary needs, and what you like to eat for dinner. Then, you'll be provided with a grocery plan and have your cart filled with suggested groceries and recipes tased on your answers to the quiz. Before receiving your groceries and recipes, you can modify your entire order so that you get exactly what you want, and all future orders will be based upon your ratings of the food you receive each week in addition to your customizations.

By combining high-quality groceries with a typical meal subscription box model, Hungryroot provides versatility for aspiring home chefs. Some of the other meal kits we’ve covered are a better choice if you’d rather take a hands-off approach, but if you’d like to expand your cooking abilities while still enjoying helpful guidance, this is an exceptional service.

You can choose meal kits that include entrees, grain bowls, pasta dishes, tacos, burgers, and pretty much anything you can think of. Not only that, you can modify your plan so that it accommodates the following diets: vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, tree nut-free, peanut-free, egg-free, shellfish-free. While some products may be processed in the same facility as certain allergens, you can take further precautions to avoid cross-contamination by checking to see if a product's description indicates whether or not it's processed in the same facility with other allergens and you can also reach out to customer service to inquire about where a product is made and the measures taken to ensure allergen safety.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

I've been using HungryRoot for a month. Love the food. But their site is difficult to negotiate. They occasionally send things I didn't order and leave out ingredients I need. -Mary

Shipping:

Delivers to most of the contiguous United States. For plan sizes that cost less than $70, shipping is $6.99. Shipping is free for orders over $70.

11. Butcher Box

What’s In This Meat Subscription Box

Butcher Box is perhaps the most popular meat subscription of all time. It's an incredible meat delivery service for those who are looking for a variety of different meats and cuts, and it abides by some of the strictest animal welfare standards around.

You can choose to subscribe to one of the following meat subscription boxes and select either a classic box (good for individuals and small families) or a big box (good for mid-size families and large freezers):

• Custom Box - 100% grass-fed beef, free-range organic chicken, pork raised crate-free, and wild-caught seafood.
• Mixed Box - 100% grass-fed beef, free-range organic chicken, and pork raised crate-free.
• Beef & Chicken Box - 100% grass-fed beef and free-range organic chicken.
• Beef & Pork Box - 100% grass-fed beef and pork raised crate-free.
• All Beef Box - 100% grass-fed beef.

Butcher Box allows you to set your delivery frequency to every 4,6, or 8 weeks and you can switch up your box for each order.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

I have been getting Butcherbox for at least two years. Never had the torn packaging problem. Only problem I ever have had was my most recent box and I got Buffalo meat instead of chicken. I called customer service and they were quick to give me a credit. I gave the meat away and it was all good. Love having a consistent supply of fresh clean meat and fish that I don't have to go searching around for. The sausages are good when they have them. We are only 2 people and it is easy to extend the delivery if we need to or get one sooner. Got last years turkey from them also. It was great. -Sara

Shipping: All 48 contiguous states. Shipping is always free.

12. Sunbasket

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

Love farm-to-table cooking? Sunbasket offers classic meal kits along with ready-to-eat meals that only use organic produce and in-season ingredients. You can also choose to mix up this meal subscription with both types of meal kits, making Sunbasket one of the only meal subscriptions that allows you to do so.

Sunbasket offers a wide variety of meals that include paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, Mediterranean, and diabetes-friendly options. Its fresh produce, milk, yogurt, eggs, and tofu are organic 99% of the time, and all protein choices are sourced from responsibly raised meats and wild-caught or sustainably raised seafood. Additionally, Sunbasket offers organic beef from cattle that are exclusively grass-fed and even its non-organic beef comes from cattle that are grass-fed and grain-finished.

Although Sunbasket allows you to select meals that are free of certain allergens, its recipes are packed in a facility that handles gluten, milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans.

Pros

Cons

What Reviewers Say:

It’s safe to say I am a Sunbasket fan anyways, but the Fresh & Ready meals are a game-changer for my dinner plans right now. I am so sick of cooking, and these are the perfect way to enjoy a meal that feels home-cooked without destroying my kitchen or over-paying for delivery. -Megan, MSA Reviewer

Shipping:

Ships to most of the contiguous United States. Shipping is a flat $9.99.

Pros

Cons

What Reviewers Say:

Being able to pop a fresh-made meal into the oven or microwave for less than five minutes and have a complete dinner is kinda nice. I found these meals to be delicious and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. I’m really bad at nutrition as well and these are portion-controlled and seem generally quite healthy, especially if you’re following a diet like keto or paleo. -Marne, MSA Reviewer

Shipping:

Delivers to the contiguous United States.

14. Dinnerly

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

Enjoy cooking but don't want to spend a fortune on meal kits? Dinnerly has you covered.

15. Purple Carrot

Image from our review.

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

Purple Carrot is a plant-based meal subscription service that allows you to receive either recipe-based meal kits or fully prepared meals. All of its meals are vegan-friendly and you can choose from breakfast, lunch, and dinner items. There's even a Plantry with options for foods like nut butter, soup, and sauce as well.

You can expect to see dairy- and meat-free versions of staple classics (such as loaded avocado toast), along with adventurous offerings inspired by worldly cuisine (like grape leaf mezze bowls). There's definitely something for everyone with Purple Carrot as you can also choose from meals that are designated as low calorie, high protein, quick and easy, and more.

The menu changes regularly, and you’ll find 12 different vegan meal options every week that even non-vegans will love. If you choose to go with meal kits, you can subscribe to 3 or 4 dinners per week with 2 or 4 servings each, whereas if you choose prepared meals instead you can order 6, 8, or 10 dinners per week with 1 serving per meal.

While you can select meals that are gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut-free, tree nut-free, and soy-free, it's important to note that Purple Carrot's facility is not certified allergen-friendly so those with severe food allergies should proceed with caution.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

Tried the high protein plan to get myself used to learning how to meal prep. I really like how thoughtful the meal plan and recipes are. Lots of variety, and delicious flavor combinations. Would order again. -MSA Reader

16. Gobble

Image from our review.

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

Love to cook, but only have 15 minutes? No worries - Gobble's got the meal subscription for you.

Gobble is a meal plan that streamlines the process of cooking by having its chefs do all the prep work so you can simply cook. No more slicing and dicing as Gobble includes pre-sliced vegetables and meat along with par-cooked sauces, grains, and pasta.

You can choose meals from its Classic Dinner and Lean & Clean Dinner plans and there are plenty of mouth-watering recipes to try including Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice & Naan Bread, Pan-Seared Ribeye Steaks with Balsamic Glaze & Roasted Root Vegetables, and Wagyu Beef Sliders with Crispy Potatoes & Cabbage Slaw.

You can set your dietary preferences to avoid dairy, nuts, and gluten, but keep in mind that Gobble handles all of its ingredients (including allergens) within the same facility.

Pros

Cons

What Reviewers Say:

I tried (and loved) the Gobble meal delivery service for the first time several years ago, and I’m still a huge fan. It’s not the cheapest meal kit delivery service, but I think the convenience of not having to do any meal preparation more than justifies the price. Ingredients come par-cooked and pre-prepped to help you get dinner on the table in 15 minutes, and the one-pan recipes are designed for quick cleanup. Best of all? The food is some of the tastiest I’ve ever had from a meal kit. -Lindsey, MSA Reviewer

Shipping:

Delivers to the contiguous United States. Shipping costs $6.99.

17. Sakara Life

Image from our review.

What’s In This Meal Subscription Box

If you're searching for a vegan meal subscription that's committed to using organic and gluten-free ingredients, then Sakara Life is meant for you. Sakara Life is well known for its high-end, nutrient-dense meals that are perfectly portioned and presented. You can try out entrees like Superfood Breakfast Cookie, Sakara Cobb Salad, and Forbidden Rice + Tatsoi Bowl and you can even enhance your meal subscription by adding on teas and supplements.

When subscribing to Sakara Life, you can choose to include meals for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner and receive meals 2, 3, or 5 days per week. However, the menu is set for each week you're limited in your choice for swaps.

Pros

Cons

What Reviewers Say:

Sakara Life has truly reenvisioned subscription meal delivery. The recipes are thoughtfully designed, and the food is really impressive. All of the meals I received were exciting and delicious; never once during my program did I pout about eating “healthy food” or want to skip a meal in favor of something more enticing. I’m a total sucker for a pretty plate of food, and my Sakara meals were all drop-dead gorgeous. (Scroll down to see what I mean. That donut? I mean come on.) When it comes to nutrition, taste, and visual appeal, Sakara really does deliver. All that said, it might be the most expensive meal subscription I’ve ever sampled. -Lindsey, MSA Reviewer

• Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner + Reset - 5 smoothies, 5 soups & grain bowls, 5 noodles, 5 light soups (Reset day)

Pros

Cons

What Reviewers Say:

I found Splendid Spoon to be a really helpful and easy way to eat healthy when I was super busy going to work and night school. Even now that I’ve been staying safe at home for two weeks, I think having meals that I don’t need to prepare or think much about can be helpful when I’m having days where eating at all is a triumph. And I found the meals to be DELICIOUS. Like, really good. And I love their smoothies. This is a pricy meal plan when I look at objectively, but I also know that I am paying for the convenience and for the ease of eating more healthy with a few clicks on my computer. Will I order this every single week? No. Will I treat myself maybe once a month or at times when I know the cost is worth it? Absolutely. -Marne, MSA Reviewer

Shipping:
