25 Food & Drink Boxes to Help You Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions

1. Eat Healthier

Year after year, the resolution to "eat healthier" tops the chart of popular New Year's goals. After the grand indulgence of a Thanksgiving feast and the baked goods-bacchanalia of the December holidays and the endless New Year's party plates full of delicious nibbles, many people feel utterly spent. Trading pigs in a blanket and mince pies for something fresh and light seems like the best idea ever... but come mid-January, willpower can start to wane. Signing up for a food subscription box that sends delicious, healthy meals might help you stay the course. There are plenty of fantastic subscriptions to choose from (check out our reader-selected list of The 14 Best Meal Kit Boxes of 2020), but here are a few of my favorite, foodie-approved contenders.

3. Get More Sleep

I'm a big believer that getting enough sleep is one of the best ways we can practice self-care. I know for me, regardless of what I have on my plate, life always seems a lot more manageable when I'm well-rested. But logging enough hours isn't always easy. If you're looking for a way to chill out before bedtime or want something that will simplify your morning routine so you can sleep in a few extra minutes, check out these options.

From the Kin Euphorics site: "Euphorics are a new category of nonalcoholic nightlife beverage crafted for conscious connection. The secret is in the stack: balancing adaptogens (herbs that help the body adapt to stress), replenishing nootropics (compounds that help enhance cognition), and nourishing botanics (plants that balance flavor and function)." Their Dream Light is formulated with sleep in mind, and it blends a microdose of melatonin with herbs and spices that taste like chai. Intrigued? Check out Kin Euphorics.

4. Travel More (Without Leaving Home)

I love to travel, and one of my favorite things to do when I'm exploring a new destination is to sample the local food. Actual travel might not be possible at the moment, but that doesn't mean food can't travel to you. Invite exotic snacks from far-flung places into your home with a subscription to an international snack box. Here are some of my personal favorites. (Want even more snack options? Traditional, kid-friendly, or healthy snacks, maybe? Check out our list of The Best Snack Subscription Boxes – 2020 Readers’ Choice.)

5. Spend More Time With Family

When things get busy, it's easy to cut out "downtime" to make space for all the things that demand attention. If you're looking to reconnect with your loved ones, make quality time for those who matter, or simply free up more "me time," I see you. Below, you'll find two of my favorite subscriptions that will help cut down on cooking time and get dinner on the table in a snap (so you have more time for other things), and a great subscription designed to get parents and children in the kitchen together.

6. Cut Down on Food Costs

"Saving money" is one of the most popular New Year's resolutions, and it makes sense. Food budgets can balloon when you're not paying close attention— especially around the holidays. If you want to spend less on meals or need help sticking to a weekly food budget, meal kit subscriptions can help. I recently wrote up a list of the most affordable meal kits; here are the ones that came out on top.

Customize your plan to feed two people, four people, or more. This is an awesome low-cost meal kit delivery option for those on a budget. (And it’s kid-friendly, too!)

7. Drink Less

The holiday season is all about excess, and I'm not just talking about food. Come January, sometimes months of flowing champagne and extravagant cocktails start to take their toll. If you're ready to take a breather on the booze, things don't have to get boring. There are some amazing subscriptions out there that specialize in craft mocktails. Or, perhaps you'd be interested in an alcohol-free beverage that relies on hemp and adaptogens to promote a feeling of calm. (Or, if coffee or tea is more your speed, hop over to our list of the 21 Best Coffee & Tea Subscriptions of 2020!)

8. Stock the Bar

Looking to have more fun? Dial-up (pun intended) the virtual happy hours? Spend more time imbibing with friends in the new year? Drink subscription boxes can be an awesome way to ensure your wine rack, beer fridge, or bar cart stays stocked to perfection. I love these types of subscriptions. Picking my favorite 3 was way too hard, so I ended up with a top 4. (Want even more? We've got lists of our favorite beer and wine subscriptions for you to explore!)
