I have to admit that my creativity in the kitchen starts to dwindle when winter hits. Not only does the cold weather make me want to hibernate (yawn), but my schedule gets even more chaotic than usual thanks to the holidays and work deadlines. Meal kit delivery services to the rescue! If you, like me, are in need of some culinary inspiration, here are the best meal kit delivery brands to try this season.
Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon
You know we’re big fans of Martha Stewart, so naturally we love her meal kit delivery service that lets home chefs emulate the domestic goddess while whipping up dishes like bacon-wrapped skillet meatloaf and plant-based “chicken” potpie.
Hungryroot
Grocery shopping is no longer a chore thanks to all-in-one service Hungryroot, which stocks your fridge and pantry with all the ingredients needed for deceptively simple recipes (plus you can add in some snacks and sweets, too).
Sunbasket
With Sunbasket, you can have your pick: healthy heat-and-eat meals or farm-fresh, organic ingredients to be crafted into a lovely family dinner — you can’t go wrong either way.
Factor
As delicious as they are nutritious, these chef-created, dietitian-approved meals are ready to eat and ready to help you achieve your fitness goals, with keto, vegetarian, calorie-smart and protein-plus plans.
One Potato
As the name implies, this is the top choice for families, with healthy meals that can be made in under 30 minutes with the assistance of your little ones to help them gain confidence in the kitchen.
Daily Harvest
What was once a beloved smoothie brand is now an entire clean-eating empire, with harvest bakes, flatbreads, forager and harvest bowls, soups, scoops (delish plant-based ice creams), bites (superfood sweet treats), lattes, and of course those O.G. smoothies.
Sprinly
Plant-based is the name of the game for this award-winning Midwest company that sends its fresh, ready-to-eat, organic, vegan meals across the country; doing good for both yourself and the planet has never tasted so good.
HelloFresh
Neil Patrick Harris loves America’s most popular meal kit for its inventive yet affordable plans with pre-portioned ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes that’ll please everyone around the table.
Omaha Steaks
This Nebraska company might be known for its stellar steaks, but there’s so much more on the menu these days, including skillet, one-step and single-serve meals as well as tasty starters, sides and desserts to round out a delectable multicourse dinner.
Gobble
If you still want to do some meal prep but without the peeling, chopping and marinating (who has the time?), then you’ll love Gobble’s 15-minute meals, which come in classic, vegetarian, and lean and clean options.
Dinnerly
Delicious, nutritious food doesn’t have to be expensive, and thanks to Dinnerly, it can be easy, unfussy and even picky eater–approved, too; we’ll consider that a win!
Splendid Spoon
Perfect for on-the-go professionals, Splendid Spoon reminds us that busy can be healthy with its plant-based meals, soups, grain and noodle bowls, and smoothies (better throw in a wellness shot for good measure).
Green Chef
Going green is easier than ever with Green Chef’s certified organic, sustainably sourced, easy-to-prep meals that come in a variety of plans, from keto to vegetarian to Mediterranean and more.
Freshly
If you’re often short on time but don’t want to sacrifice when it comes to nutrition or flavor, Freshly has you covered with its heat-and-eat offerings spanning every meal of the day as well as the FreshlyWell line focused on holistic wellness.
