Need-to-know: Chef’d is for all those times you’ve ever watched Top Chef and wished that you could eat what Padma Lakshmi was eating, too. The Los Angeles-based company has big-name chefs, nutritionists, and foodie gurus (from TV personality Robert Irvine to clean eating expert Keri Glassman) create a range of recipes. You just need to find a favorite, place your order, and you’ll receive all the pre-portioned ingredients you need (organic wherever possible) to get dinner on the table. And if phrases like “mince garlic” send you into panic mode, don’t worry: Chef’d has videos demonstrating cooking techniques on its website. Some recipes called for cooking techniques I haven’t dared try at home otherwise (poached fish anyone?). But thanks to the step-by-step directions, I plated a perfectly cooked piece of fish.

Hello Fresh stands out from its competitors by not only having an in-house Registered Dietician who puts her stamp of approval on every meal, but they’re the only brand with detailed nutrition fact labels on both their recipe cards and website. Their cook times tend to be shorter (around 30-35 minutes max. with only 5-6 steps) and they offer a variety of meal choices (three to five different recipes and they always have three vegetarian options).

Healthy factor: Purple Carrot tracks down organic (whenever possible) and always non-GMO ingredients for the plant-based, whole food meals.

San Franciscans, we are officially jealous. Luke’s Local is reinventing ready-to-eat meals. Every week, it delivers boxes that are a blend of a CSA (community-supported agriculture) program, personal catering, and an artisan food shop. All the meals are prepared by local chefs, produce comes from local farms, and artisan items (such as bread or granola) are locally sourced. The best part? You get to pick which items go in the box for every order—choose from pre-made meals, dairy products, meats, seafood, pantry items, and more. Bay area residents outside the three areas listed above can order online and pick up boxes at the Luke’s Local warehouse in the city.

Oh, and next week we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming, as I — a little more mindfully, but no less enthusiastically — dip back into the world of dairy, gluten, grains and just a teeny bit of sugar.

Breakfast can take two routes: sweet, or savory. If you prefer a sweet start to your day, a healthy one-person meal might be a bowl of oatmeal with some diced apple cooked into it. Add some cinnamon and nutmeg for sweetness, and then top it off with a dollop of ricotta or cottage cheese for some additional protein to go along with your carbs and fiber. Altogether, this will deliver around 600 calories. If you prefer savory, try 3 scrambled eggs with mushrooms and spinach to give you a good combination of protein, fat and minerals to start the day -- at about 300 calories.

Another protein- and carb-rich, 400-calorie meal could be chicken or tofu skewers that have your favorite vegetables, served over couscous, for a filling, yet also colorful dinner.

My daughter loves the food and tells me that the food tastes fresh, and the meat is very tasty and tender. We will be ordering again! Thanks so much!!" ~Alecia P.

Need-to-know: Think of HelloFresh as the Food Network-approved cousin to Blue Apron and Plated (Jamie Oliver is a partner, creating one recipe a week for subscribers).

And for every HelloFresh box purchased, they’ll donate to the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation.
