After a busy day, it’s easier to order takeout than head to the grocery store. But with fresh, pre-portioned ingredients and recipes delivered right to your door, meal delivery services make it simple to prepare a home cooked dinner. Here are few of the most popular options:
Blue Apron
The goal of Blue Apron is to build a better food system by focusing on high-quality, sustainable ingredients. Recipes feature no GMOs, seafood recommended by Seafood Watch®, and meat with no added hormones and antibiotics. You may choose between the 2-Person Plan or Family Plan, pick your meals for the week and opt for delivery days that work with your schedule. Plus, you can cancel at any time. It even offers a separate wine program.
$8.74+ per serving
Plated
Plated lets you choose the exact recipes you want so you can cook from twice a week to every night. Each week, choose from 11 recipes, including dessert, that focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. An added bonus is that dishes range from quick and easy to ones that are culinary adventures. Meal plans are available from two to four servings per night on the days of your choice. You can skip weeks or cancel at any time.
$12 per serving
Home Chef
Home Chef has a large variety of meals, including breakfast, with 10 options to choose from each week. Like others, you choose how many meals and servings (a minimum of two for each) you want to receive each week, and you pay per serving. In addition to meals, one smoothie recipe and a bag of seasonal fruit are available as add-ons. Home Chef also recommends meals based on your eating habits and desires.
$9.95 per serving
PeachDish
PeachDish is the meal delivery service with a Southern influence. The eight options offered each week highlight the Southern farms and food artisans from which PeachDish sources the food. And while you can sign up for a subscription, you may also order individual meals (the minimum order is $45, which includes two servings). PeachDish also has a separate store with desserts, jams, spice blends, flavored salts, meats, cookbooks and more.
