Healthy Food Delivery Options

To help you get dinner on the table, we answered the doorbell on numerous occasions to test out the offerings. Here, we bring you the need-to-know details on 11 services that deliver delicious healthy meals in the five boroughs (listed alphabetically).

Need-to-know: Pretty, patterned, biodegradable packaging makes Munchery’s tasty meals a statement piece for your desk as much as a lunch time-saver. Dishes are designed by talented chefs and range from vegan Moroccan vegetables to Asian beef stew. Same-day meals sell out quickly, though, so the ordering process can be slightly frustrating.

Delivery details: They deliver to 34 states throughout the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, and West Coast. Meals are shipped on Mondays in boxes insulated with ice packs, so you don’t need to be home to accept delivery (expect to receive your box in one to two days). And yes, you can recycle the nontoxic packaging made from post-consumer waste.

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.

Healthy factor: The in-house nutrition team works with chefs to create balanced meals, and you can sort them by nutritional need (low cholesterol, low sodium, etc.) before you order. Plus, each meal comes with a full nutritional breakdown that highlights its shining-star nutrients, like the Yogurt Chicken and Roasted Vegetables Meal Kit, which is high in vitamin A, calcium, and iron. Veggies aren’t 100 percent organic, but they use antibiotic-free chicken and sustainable salmon.

Healthy Food Delivery Houston

Healthy factor: It doesn’t get much healthier than plant-based meals made with whole foods, and a team nutritionist looks over the recipes submitted by guest chefs. They source organic ingredients “whenever possible,” with a focus on using local farmers.

Healthy factor: The smoothie kits are packed with organic, non-GMO produce and superfoods—including all-star ingredients like goji berries and camu camu that not everyone has access to at their local supermarket. Case in point: Subscribers recently received a mandarinquat (AKA a hybrid of a mandarin orange and a kumquat), which is said to taste a bit like a Sour Patch Kid.

Healthy Food Delivery To Home

Need-to-know: If you care about where your veggies come from, meet Green Chef. It’s the first USDA-certified organic meal kit (which covers synthetic pesticides, growth hormones, antibiotics, and GMOs). Choose from five different menu types—vegetarian, omnivore, carnivore, gluten-free, or Paleo—then your delivery date. Weekly menus are available online so you’ll know what’s available. Each box is jam-packed with all the fixings to make three meals for two people in less time than it takes to catch up on the most recent episode of Girls (think 20–35 minutes). Plus, you can add additional servings and change your menu preference with each delivery. And for those who like a nice neat fridge, the ingredients come color-coded.

Healthy factor: Since it’s Paleo, you know your meals will be full of grass-fed and pastured protein and in-season produce, as well as free of gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, and sweeteners. Plus, the delivery service has developed relationships with local suppliers and farmers from whom they source ingredients.

Need-to-know: Sakara is the go-to service for downtown women who work out at ModelFit, live in Lucas Hugh leggings, and are no strangers to green juice. Expect delicious, fresh, creative salads, soups, and sandwiches—stuffed to the brim with trendy superfoods. They switch up the menu weekly (and seasonally), so if you’re planning on becoming a regular, you won’t get bored.

Healthy Food Delivery Chicago

Delivery details: Not only does HelloFresh deliver nationally across the U.S., they deliver internationally too—to the UK, Germany, Austria, Australia, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Place your order by midnight on Wednesday to receive your box the following week (and there are daily shipping options).

Healthy Food For Delivery Manila

Need-to-know: Sakara wants to help you fill your plate with good-for-you, plant-rich whole foods that, yes, are incredibly Instagrammable. The organic food service (which up until recently was only delivery to New York City) serves up creative salads jam packed with colorful veggies, trendy superfoods, and healthy grains, as well as unexpected sandwiches (like a red beet burger) on the seasonal weekly menu.

Healthy factor: About 95 percent of Green Chef’s ingredients are organic, and they vet their suppliers to ensure they maintain ethical and sustainable practices. Meals all lean toward the good-for-you side of things, with entrees like Lemon-Dill Broiled Salmon, Herb-Roasted Tempeh, and Quinoa and Spinach Fritters recently dropped off with subscribers. A highlight: The Sweet Potato Noodle Bake. It was jam-packed with veggies and the smoky almond bread crumbs added just the right crunch on top.

Healthy factor: Purple Carrot tracks down organic (whenever possible) and always non-GMO ingredients for the plant-based, whole food meals. When you open the box, you’re greeted by elegantly designed recipe cards, which provide directions, nutritional info, and a little background on each dish—including the region it comes from and the adjustments Bittman made to make the recipe plant- and weeknight dinner-friendly.

Delivery details: Delivery is currently available in Manhattan (below 116th Street-ish) and parts of Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, and Westchester. You can order on-demand to get your food in about 30 minutes (although as we discovered, many items sell out), or order meals up to a week in advance. FYI, Munchery also delivers in Seattle, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Healthy Food Delivery San Diego

Healthy factor: Not surprisingly, meals lean toward the meaty, and attention is paid to quality, with 100 percent grass-fed beef, antibiotic-free chicken, and wild salmon filling the menus. Produce is not all organic, but every dish has detailed nutrition facts for you to check before you order.

Healthy factor: Provenance Meals starts with unprocessed ingredients sourced from local farms and organic providers, wherever possible, and meat and poultry that have been grass-fed and pasture-raised. From there, they make everything from scratch, including their own nut milks, kimchi, pickles, and sprouted beans. As for GMOs and added refined sugars? You won’t find them in your meals either.

Cost: For this membership-based service, a standard box, complete with two meals for two people, costs $50 (but they do offer discounts for ordering additional servings). There’s a minimum requirement of four servings per delivery and a max of eight.

Healthy factor: Daily Harvest’s chef- and nutritionist-designed blends include a hearty dose of fruits and veggies (flash-frozen at the peak of ripeness), functional superfoods like wheatgrass and flax seed, and tasty add-ins like nut butters. Ingredients are organic and non-GMO wherever possible. Choose from 14 super fun flavors like Matcha Colada (think piña colada with matcha, plus extra hints of coconut, vanilla, and good-for-you kale) or decadent Chocolate Lovahhh, a mix of blueberries, bananas, dates, maca, raw almond butter, spinach, kale, and pink Himalayan sea salt.

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. 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.

Need-to-know: If veggies in every color of the rainbow served in creative ways make you happy, then you’ll love The Purple Carrot. With former New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman on board as chief innovation officer, and star guest chefs like Chloe Coscarelli designing many of the weekly-changing menus, the meals are tasty and filling. (Think Pizza Burgers with Avocado-Arugula Pesto.) One word of warning to kitchen newbies: The recipes can be a bit hard to follow at times.

Healthy Food Delivery Portland Or

Delivery details: Delivery is available throughout New York City between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., depending on your zip code. It comes in serious refrigerated packaging that can sit on your porch for up to 24 hours, which helps. You can also schedule your deliveries weeks in advance. Need to skip a week? Put in your request up to six days before delivery.

Healthy factor: Sakara was created for the busy, stylish New York woman, and founders Whitney Tingle and Danielle DuBoise take pride in ensuring that each meal serves a healthful purpose. “We source the highest quality ingredients, ensuring not only that every food we work with is free of any harmful additives, but that they come packing an even higher nutrient density,” says Tingle. Ingredients, again, are whole-food, plant-based and “mostly” organic and local. Meals are free of gluten, dairy, eggs, meal, and seafood. And for those on the East Coast and Southern California, Sakara Life can accommodate up to three allergies for an additional fee.
