As much as we love cooking, we don’t love all of the decisions, planning, and preparation required to create a decent meal. Shopping for ingredients takes time that we often don’t have, and after a long day, we’re not typically in the mood to spend hours chopping and mincing.
Fortunately, there are plenty of companies willing to do the hard parts in advance so we can save time and enjoy high-quality meals even on our busiest days. Many brands even offer meal kits that accommodate specific dietary needs. Here are some we love most.
HelloFresh
As the largest meal kit service in the United States, HelloFresh must be doing something right. We have a feeling its success is a result of the variety of options available to customers each week and how easy the recipes are to prepare. Each kit includes 3-4 meals of 2-4 portions.
Gobble
Gobble takes convenience to the next level by offering meals designed to be ready to eat in 15 minutes or less. You can choose from a rotating menu of meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes portioned for 2-4 people.
Purple Carrot
Many meal kit companies offer vegan options, but only Purple Carrot is entirely vegan. We love their traditional meal kits, but if you’re really short on time, they also have fully prepared meals that are ready to eat in just 5 minutes.
