While some services I tried such as Sunbasket and Martha Stewart and Marley Spoon might have slightly more interesting recipes each week, those services cost as much as $15 per serving.Īt just $5 per serving - even cheaper with a sign-up offer - and an emphasis on delicious, hearty meal options and generous portion sizes, EveryPlate is the best cheap meal kit service I tried. Price per serving ranges from $8 to $12, with options to prepare two to four recipes per week and two or four servings per recipe. Subscription: Blue Apron is right in the middle of the pack when it comes to cost. See how Blue Apron compares to HelloFresh in our head-to-head review of the two popular meal kit services or see my full review of the original meal kit service and how it holds up in 2023. An optional wine pairing service is also offered and Blue Apron is constantly launching special menus to help you prepare a festive spread for big food holidays like the Super Bowl and Thanksgiving. Occasional promotions include a menu from guest celebrity chefs or recipes that highlight popular travel destinations. The website is easy to navigate and recipes are tagged with helpful keywords such as "customer favorite," "quick and easy," "great for grilling" and so on. With even the most basic recipes, you might find an unfamiliar component or two on the recipe card, and the website often highlights these ingredients as an educational opportunity. The eight weekly menu choices available range from simple pasta dishes to inventive global cuisine, with seafood and vegetarian options available, too. Even if you're just looking for recipe inspiration and help with shopping and prep a couple of nights a week, a good meal kit can ( ahem) take a load off your plate and keep you eating healthily.īlue Apron is largely accepted to be the granddad of meal kit programs in the US and the brand still manages to deliver excellent meals with easy-to-follow recipes all at a fair price. Meal kits can come as often as you want them and you can get recipes that will feed two, four or sometimes as many as six people. From there, you make some of the easiest (and often most delicious) dinners without having to hit the grocery store. Meal kits are boxes of premeasured ingredients for completing full recipes that get sent to your home along with recipes and tips. And if you've got special dietary concerns or are following an eating plan, there are keto, paleo and low-calorie meal kits to keep your specific nutrition goals intact. There are also cheap meal kits in case the goal is to get dinner on the table without busting the budget. Home Chef makes meal kits that are easily customizable, so if you've got kids or folks with finicky tastes to consider, this service would be a smart pick. Purple Carrot, for instance, is the best vegan or vegetarian meal kit we tried, since none of its weekly recipes contain meat or animal byproducts.
