3. Fresh n’ Lean

VarietyAs the name implies, Fresh ‘n Lean’s meals and ingredients tend to be quite fresh… and lean. Fresh n’ Lean also offers healthy, ready to eat, and professionally-prepared meals designed to provide the customers with convenient “heat and eat” nutrition, and their standard “plant-based” plan comes with a wide selection of dishes for those following a plant-based diet.

Sample meals

Chocolate Walnut Brownie Loaf – this yummy breakfast contains only 310 caloriesParsley Broccoli Brown Rice – healthy dish with veggiesRanchero Black Bean Vegetables – a whopping 24g of protein-packed into a small bowlTeriyaki Lentils – a healthy Eastern-inspired dinner served with Brussels Sprouts

Fresh N Lean

PricingThe standard plant-based meal plan, which comes with 3 meals per day for 5 days (15 in total) comes in at $126.00 per week, which is on the cheaper side compared to some of these other food company subscription services. Availing this subscription or program is also suitable for family use.PackagingThe shipping is free, and your food can be sent to anywhere in the US via UPS or the FedEx Air Service.

PROS

  • Service comes with delicious dairy free meals
  • Much cheaper than some on this list
  • Lots of variety in dishes
  • Good customer service

CONS

  • Not too eco-friendly

The standard delivery day for meals is Friday, and you will have to pay a fee if you want to change this and have your meals arrive on a different day. Once the meals arrive, you should put them in the fridge as quickly as possible. You can freeze some of the meals, but Fresh ‘n Lean states that they don’t advise it.

4. Purplecarrot

VarietyPurple Carrot specialize in plant-based meal delivery, seeming to have an affection for plants, which is unmatched by most other delivery services I’ve come across. Purple Carrot even has a section on their website called “Why Plants?” where they talk about all the benefits of plant-eating.Purple Carrot offers Japanese, Italian, and Middle Eastern culinary influences, as well as many other customizable plans, such as a la carte. Also, with their revolving menu every week, it sure does keep things interesting for regular customers by giving them a lot of new dairy free or gluten free meal kits to choose from.Sample meals

  • White Bean Hummus Flatbread – with shaved asparagus and cashew pesto
  • Yam and Shitake Salad – Japanese warm salad with an orange peanut dressing
  • Stuffed Sweet Potato – sweet potato stuffed with miso tahini and chickpea salad
  • White Bean Hemp Cakes – with Cajun mayo and kale coleslaw

purplecarrot

PricingWith Purple Carrot, you can choose from “Quick and Easy”, “High Protein”, and “Chef’s Choice”. The plates cost $12 per meal, which is on the cheaper end of the vegan food delivery spectrum.PackagingThe dairy free ingredients from Purple Carrot all come in appropriate packaging, although it should be noted that their website implies that the food is not freezable, so customers must make and follow a plan to eat it in order of what foods will spoil first.For example, they recommend eating dishes with leafy green vegetables first, as these tend to spoil the quickest. Bear this in mind when ordering your meals for the week.

PROS

  • Varied weekly meals for unique taste
  • Fast and responsive customer service
  • Tons of nutritional vegan options (see also ‘Vegan Options at Applebee’s’)
  • Easy to pause deliveries

CONS

  • Could be cheaper
  • Some users receive rotten ingredients

5. Sun Basket

VarietySun Basket is known in the vegan and vegetarian community for using the freshest and most organic ingredients, hence the wholesome and nostalgic-sounding name. They have many custom, ready to eat plant-based diet plans designed for people who prefer a wide range of dairy free dishes. These include a variety of delicious health-boosting fruits, vegetables, and high protein sources.

Sample meals

  • Curried Tempeh Stir Fry – filling, spicy, and served with black rice
  • Tofu Pad Thai – comes with rice noodles (see also ‘ Are Ramen Noodles Vegan? ‘), cashews, and bell peppers
  • Sopa de Fideo – Mexican-style soup complete with avocado and toasted noodles
  • Organic Spicy Southwest Salad – cool veggies contrasted with a chipotle vinaigrette

Sun Basket Image

PricingThere are a couple of different plans to choose from depending on whether you’re a couple or a family, but the dishes work out at around $11-12 per meal, depending on your order. Packaging The meal delivery service is scheduled between 8 am and 9 pm Monday – Thursday, which means you can have it for breakfast, too.Please bear in mind that the delivery windows will change depending on your location, and the company does not currently ship to Alaska or Hawaii. All non GMO food comes in appropriately cold insulated packaging.

PROS

  • Way cheaper compared to competitors
  • Many delivery times available throughout the week that can fit your breakfast, lunch and dinner schedule

7. Green Chef

VarietyGreen Chef describes themselves as being “your Sous Chef”, which I suppose makes sense if you’re down with these various chefs and culinary terms, then the Green Chef meal program might be suitable for you.Most people, like me, enjoy getting a bunch of pre-portioned ingredients because we don’t like to cook, or sometimes just can’t spare for prep time in the kitchen.Green Chef (see also ‘The Battle for Healthy Delivery: Green Chef vs. Purple Carrot‘) also offers menus for multiple different dietary restrictions, including an extensive menu for gluten free and plant based dieters. The menus change weekly, which is a great way to keep all your three meals fresh and interesting.

Sample Meals

  • Vegan Crab CakesTempeh Crab Cakes with basil-lemon aioli
  • Moroccan Cauliflower – featuring chickpeas, turmeric, and quinoa
  • Pesto Pasta Primavera – featuring seasonal spring vegetables
  • Jamaican Pineapple Fried Rice – with sweet potato and collard greens

VarietyTerra’s Kitchen features a selection of DIY recipes, smoothies, and ready-to-eat salad recipes and other dishes, giving you a bunch of options to peruse when deciding what to eat for the week. The great thing about Terra’s Kitchen is that you can order individual meals if you like, allowing you to try their food per serving before committing to a dairy free weekly plan.However, Terra’s Kitchen has an admittedly limited Vegan and vegetarian range, but if you like a few of their plant-based dish options, it may be worth ordering them in every now and then.

My #1 Recommended Vegan Meal Delivery Service

Out of all the meal delivery services on the list, Trifecta Vegan Meal delivery service is the one I would personally recommend.

The prepared meals are high-quality, gluten free, low carb, and organic, so you’re in good hands. Some may not like the idea of not being aware of what food you’ll get, but I find the experience of getting a surprise every once in a while refreshing.

This is maybe because every dish is gourmet style, plant based, and tastes really good. I also love how the meal is already fully-cooked once it arrives, and it’s packaged so nicely.

Appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes.”

Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

Meal delivery services (see also ‘UrthBox Meal Delivery Service Review‘) are helpful especially for those who want to eat healthily but don’t have the time to do so. Plus, the idea of having a professional prepare may drastically help improve your dairy free diet.

If you don’t want to invest on a service like this one, then you can create your own vegan grocery list. You can even check out my Nutriciously Review, a dairy free diet plan kit perfect for beginners.
