Meal delivery companies have become a growing trend over the past few years. They offer simplicity and convenience at an often-stressful time of day: dinnertime. Most companies offer a wide variety of menus, meal types, and upgrades. You choose your menu via the company’s website, app, or weekly email. The ingredients and instructions are shipped for each meal — often with many of the ingredients in pre-measured portions — right to your front door. Depending on the company, you will have a choice of number of meals per week and how many servings in each recipe.
Each of the meal services below focuses on saving time and providing healthier alternatives to restaurant meals. Experimenting with meal delivery companies can be a great way to learn new cooking skills, be inspired by new recipes, and gain confidence in the kitchen!
