Healthy Food Delivery Like Blue Apron

Healthy factor: Chef’d offers a range of recipes to meet your healthy, gluten-free, or Paleo needs, like the Mediterranean Citrus Poached Halibut from Top Chef alum Fabio Viviani or the Green Chili Turkey and Cilantro Rice Bowl from Chris and Heidi Powell of ABC’s Extreme Weight Loss Santa Ynez California 93460. And, if you’re a Tone It Up Nutrition and Bikini Bundle member, you can sign up to receive weekly dinner meals, all approved by the Tone It Up nutrition team Santa Ynez CA California Santa Barbara 93460.

While the same-day delivery is amazing, the strength of this service comes in the videos. They are not done like a cooking show. Each step of the recipe includes a narrated how-to demonstration showing exactly how to cut, mix or sauté the food. Once the 10- to 15-second narration ends, the video goes into a silent loop so you can look back at it anytime to remember how to do the task. I learned a whole new way to chop onions, cut sweet potatoes and it truly felt like I was attending cooking school in my own kitchen.

In general, though, I’d say these services are not for everyone, or at least not to be used weekly. After the first few weeks of this, I was tired of coming home each night and cooking a whole meal. I’m the type of person that often makes a big batch of something and eats it for a few meals, and other nights, I throw together a quick sandwich, wrap or salad. I also like having leftovers to bring to work the next day for lunch—these services don’t really allow for that. If you’re like me, try this here and there, but don’t count on it being your main source of food. It’s a great way to learn about new foods you wouldn’t usually cook, however. I’m now obsessed with shakshuka and am dying to make those chicken and dumplings again.

Hello Fresh costs a bit more, again with 2-person and 4-person subscription options and 3 meals per week. The 2-person plan is $69 per week ($11.50 per person) and the family plan is $129 per week ($10.75 per person).

Deal: To kick off their newly announced whole continental U.S. delivery area, they have a bunch of introductory offers. Keep in mind that once the offer duration is up, your credit card will continue to be charged at the regular price.

Recipes I tried: (Note: I didn’t choose these. I wasn’t even aware of the “swap” option) 1) Pan-seared garlic chicken, with potatoes huancaína 2) California-style cheeseburger, with secret sauce and onion rings 3) Mushroom and leek tagliatelle

Overall, Blue Apron’s food was among the best from the services I tried. The convenience, however, wasn’t there. I also feel their selection is lacking. There are only six meals to choose from, and while the dishes themselves change each week, there still isn’t a ton of variety. Every new menu has one chicken dish, one seafood dish, one salad dish, one soup/stew/chili dish and one that is either pork or beef.

The plan: Unlike most others on this list, Hello Fresh doesn’t prompt you to choose the specific meals you’ll receive. Previously, you chose vegetarian or non-vegetarian and your meals would be a complete surprise, but the company recently added and option for “picky eaters” to choose their meals. Still, this is not a part of the process. You have to manually go into your settings and choose meals to swap each week (there are only five available), and you have to do it before their deadline. Hello Fresh is also a flex subscription service, meaning you’re set to receive a box every week, but you can skip a week and cancel at any time.

Recipes I tried: (Note: to be clear, I didn’t choose these) 1) Tofu larb with crisp noodle pancake and all the trimmings 2) Khatti dal with fresh pear chutney 3) Latkes with cran-apple compote and vegan sour cream

If you’re looking to cook for multiple people or to keep things exciting by making a number of different meals, but don’t know how — or don’t have the time — to plan it all out, PlateJoy will simplify your recipe and shopping list. For $10 a month, it will put together recipes for all your meals and give you an easy to print shopping list. Just fill in a few questions related to your dietary and lifestyle food preferences, and you’ll get a Pinterest-style grid with recipes (you can opt to delete and have them generate different ones if there are any you don’t like). In addition, PlateJoy now offers ingredient delivery in 22 cities via Instacart’s grocery delivery service. [Update, 6/3/2016: This article has been updated to reflect that PlateJoy’s monthly cost has decreased from $14 to $10. In addition, it has been updated to show that PlateJoy now offers ingredient delivery to 22 cities.]

Appetites has the smallest delivery area of the services we tried but I hope it increases because the food was delicious and I learned so much cooking their recipes. You can order a la carte from Appetites and they will deliver your food the same day you order. Appetites only works on a phone or tablet. Order via app, once the food is delivered, you fire up your device and find the recipe. Step-by-step instructions, including videos, guide you through the cooking process.

Who wouldn’t want a chef-designed meal on the dinner table a few times per week? With Plated, you get just that, but in your own home (and, well, you get to prepare it yourself). It’s pretty simple: You choose the meals you want in a given week, order, and the ingredients for those meals show up at your doorstep the next week. Quality ingredients are guaranteed: Pork and poultry are raised without antibiotics, fish is sustainably caught, and produce is fresh and seasonal. Each week, classically trained, award-winning chefs create 11 recipes to choose from, including entrees like Greek stuffed spaghetti squash and Cuban chicken rice bowls with pineapple salsa.

Healthy Food Delivery Austin CA Santa Barbara 93460

Delivery Area: Limited by Peapod, which has a delivery area around metropolitan areas in the American Midwest and Northeast regions. Gathered Table is partnering with other delivery services and plans to have service in 20 of the top 25 metro areas in the United States by the beginning of 2015.

The price: -$9.95 per serving on meals -$4.95 per serving on smoothies and fruit selections Free shipping when you order three or more meals, or else shipping is $10 (but often free anyway with promotions)

Overall, I really liked Peach Dish. The options are great and the food was delicious, and there’s a lot of opportunity to have healthy meals with this company. Besides that, all of their ingredients are sourced regionally and seasonally in Georgia where they’re based, and information about all of their suppliers is listed on their website. The only thing holding Peach Dish back is their price.

Delivery details: Your meals are kept insulated in biodegradable, recycled denim—a stylish, eco-friendly alternative to styrofoam—and non-toxic, water-soluble gel packs. Freshly ships to 17 states in the western half of the U.S. and plans to expand east later this year.

The plan: Peach Dish works slightly differently than most of these plans, but it’s a simple system. Rather than keeping you to a set number of meals, you can choose however many you want, and then you choose how many servings you want (two minimum). There’s no subscription and the selection is good, with eight meals available each week.

Cost: You can now choose to “Taste It” (a one-time meal order for three or five days) or “Live It” (a weekly subscription of Sakara Life’s clean eats). Depending on whether you want just breakfast, lunch, or dinner, a combination of two, or all three, three-day Taste It plans start at $80 and five-day Taste It plans start at $125, plus delivery. Or subscribe for $69 a day and receive breakfast, lunch, and dinner five days a week.

What Is The Healthy Food After Delivery

Delivery details: Pete’s Paleo delivers nationally and, if you’re a San Diego local, you can pick up your order at select locations. Meals are delivered weekly or bi-weekly. They arrive vacuum-sealed in BPS-free bags and stay cool thanks to ice packs.

Plated's recipe cards were okay, covering the basics. I found the cooking tips and glossary to be obvious ("When it's done cooking, chicken skin should look charred, but not completely burned" and "be sure to read the entire recipe") or, at times, downright wrong ("Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towel."). Please don't wash your raw chicken. Online, though, the site offers a little more information, such as cooking difficulty and, sometimes, suggested wine pairings. Because of its variety of meals, Plated also showcases some unusual ways to use ingredients, such as grilling red leaf lettuce to accompany grilled meats. I also appreciate that, unlike most recipes, Plated's steps sometimes save you time by having you prepare the ingredients while other things were cooking (rather than prepping/chopping all of them at the start).

Regardless of whether you follow a strict vegetarian or vegan diet, incorporating more veggies into your day is always a good thing. Purple Carrot makes that goal easy to accomplish with healthy, plant-based meals that change weekly. Choose the 1-2 person plan to receive three meals a week, with two servings each, or the 3-4 person plan to receive two meals a week with four servings each. Recent meals we’re drooling over include Butternut Squash and Black Bean Enchiladas and Vegetable Pot Pie.

If you enjoy cooking and trying new foods but often don't have the time to plan and prep all your dinners, one of these meal subscription services might be for you. I've been using Blue Apron on and off for over two years and Hello Fresh for about a year, while ordering from Plated several times over the last year as well. Let's compare.

Healthy Food For Delivery London Santa Ynez Santa Barbara 93460

Need-to-know: If you drool over the brightly colored veggies at your local farmers’ market, you’ll love Purple Carrot. Former New York Times columnist and cookbook author Mark Bittman teamed up with the vegan meal kit company to develop and curate your weekly menu of seasonal plant-based meals. (Think Mushroom Pho with Fresh Tofu Skins and North African Orzo Risotto with Raw Fennel Salad.) The week’s menu debuts every Friday and can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. In case you needed that extra push, it will finally convince you that going vegan is easy.

Blue Apron comes out to about $10 a meal. For that price you’ll get a box delivered to your doorstep with everything you need to create a healthy meal based on general taste preferences. The recipes, each of which take no more than 30 minutes, change weekly, and all of the ingredients are pre-portioned so there’s no waste. Plus Blue Apron focuses on working with local farmers meaning everything they send is in-season so their healthy dishes taste all the better.

Need-to-know: Maybe you can’t find high-quality, Paleo-friendly ingredients. Or you’ve had the same steak and roasted veggie combo on repeat for weeks. Or maybe you just can’t imagine cooking dinner after a crushing a WOD. Whatever it is, Pete’s Paleo will take care of you. The San Diego-based company plans, shops, cooks, and delivers meals from its weekly seasonal menu right to your door. Think Ethiopian Spiced Duck with Roasted Bell Peppers and Gold Beets and Braised Pork with Sweet Potato Hash and Braised Celery. All you have to do is reheat and serve (setting the table: optional).
