I’ve Tried Every Meal Kit Service, And These Are The Best

Subscribing to a meal kit delivery service can be incredibly helpful — over the course of the last decade, I’ve used them on and off for various reasons. I found them incredibly helpful when I was a novice in the kitchen and needed a little push to really learn how to cook properly. Most recently, I used several different services in the months after I gave birth to my first child, when I had zero bandwidth for meal planning and grocery shopping.

Whether you’re in the postpartum period, have a medical condition that limits your mobility, are short on time and need to simplify your cooking routine, want to pick up new skills and recipes or are simply curious, there’s a meal kit for you.

Below, I’ve rounded up a list of all the meal kit delivery services I’ve tried and their various pros and cons. Most of them give you the ability to choose between meal kits and ready-made meals, while others like CookUnity and Sakara only include ready-made meals. Each has its own unique benefits and is a fabulous way to eat fresh, high-quality food without having to schlep to the store.
