Healthy Meal Delivery For One Person

"The food was fresh and delicious. I did not even pay attention to what I grabbed out of my freezer for lunch or dinner because I knew it was going to be perfect Xenia 62899. It was colorful and tasty Xenia Jefferson 62899. I especially liked that there we no preservatives used in the products." ~ Sandi D Xenia IL 62899.

Though she lives on the opposite coast, my mom has been simultaneously “clean” eating with me. She, too, laments that the planning and cooking are the hardest parts. “Sometimes I just want to grab a meal out of the freezer and be done with it,” she said recently. I get it. The ease, and the portion control, are helpful if you’re not cooking for a big family. I think she’d probably really like Freshly for that reason. These are the TV dinners of healthy eating — and they certainly take the guesswork out of the process. The price is right at about $11/meal. Beyond that, however, Freshly did not do it for me at all. There are no instructions for oven heating, so this is microwave food, and the microwave timing wasn’t even accurate. Call me crazy, but I have trouble eating salmon or pork chops (or an omelet, for that matter) that’s been frozen and then nuked. www.freshly.com

Each week, Blue Apron will send you all the ingredients you need to make three meals, each serving two people. Their fresh, seasonal (and speciality) ingredients are already measured and prepared. From a simple BLT sandwich to orecchiette pasta with basil and yellow tomatoes, to Asian-inspired dishes, you simply follow the recipe, and in less than 40 minutes you have your meal.

If you want farm fresh ingredients but don’t have the time to hit your local farmer’s market, check out this service, which brings you enough fresh produce (including fruits, veggies, meat, fish, cheese, bread, produce, eggs, and pantry staples) to make at least two different dinners for two people. In addition to delivering the ingredients, they’ll give you recipes and tips, all of which change weekly. Home delivery is $49.90 per box/week.

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.

Healthy factor: This isn’t your grandmother’s biscuits and gravy. For example, PeachDish’s Smothered and Covered Chicken with Herb Grits and Celery Salad is a lightened up version of a southern favorite, with skinless chicken breasts pan-seared instead of dropped into a deep fryer. And the flavorful Pork and Gold Rice Middlins was like a Southern version of risotto, but without all the cheese. Ingredients are regionally and seasonally sourced and organic wherever possible. And nutritional facts for each meal are available online and on the recipe card.

A prepared-meal delivery service, Thistle is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But since it tends to go heavy on the salads, it feels better for a midday meal. The clear containers arrive in an insulated bag and are packed with vibrant, fresh food. Meals are gluten- and dairy-free, and we liked everything we tried, from the delicata squash bowl with five-spice tofu and andouille sausage, to the savoy cabbage and carrot salad with smoked trout and maple sesame vinaigrette. Meals average around $12, and for an extra $6 per meal, you can add fresh juice, which comes in combinations like grapefruit, apple and burdock root, or lemon, chia, cayenne and apple. www.thistle.co

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.]

A simple, portable lunch option is stir-fry. Use lean beef, and dice it up with your favorite vegetables. Saute the ingredients with some spices and some peanut oil, for a dose of healthy protein and fats. This will deliver between 300 and 400 calories, depending on which vegetables you use. Another meal that features protein and fats is canned tuna mixed into salad greens, with half an avocado, a few chunks of feta and a drizzle of olive oil. This weighs in at around 400 calories. Adding a half-cup of brown rice to either of these recipes will add some slow-releasing energy and fiber for around 100 calories.

Healthy Food Delivery Boston

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).

Healthy Food For After Delivery Xenia Illinois 62899

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.

Taking sites like Seamless or Grubhub to the next level, Caviar acts as a liaison between leading restaurants and their customers. Order from your favorite restaurant, and Caviar will pick up your food and deliver it to your door (with GPS tracking).

When the olive green burlap sack arrives with your reusable metal “tiffin” — a double-decker contraption holding lunch — it’s impossible not to imagine the origins of the food. It all feels very hippie-crunchy-commune. Still, the container is genius; it travels well, keeps food cold and, unlike its competitors, results in zero waste. A delivery person (on bike) will take the old one when the new one arrives, and if you’re done with the service they’ll come back to get it. The food, even if very vegan (there’s a whole lot of soy protein), boasts unique flavors and sauces. One day’s lunch, for example, included vegetable pad Thai with zucchini ribbons and spicy peanut sauce, and some kind of minced vegetable protein with long beans and makrut lime. There are people who will love this stuff. Not me, per se, but I can definitely see the appeal. Plans start at $10/meal. www.greentiffin.com
