When selecting any meal delivery service, whether it’s a kit or prepared meals, it’s important to narrow the options down to those that suit your needs. This may mean taking into account pricing, preparation required, sustainability considerations, and your dietary needs.
Price: If you’re on a tight budget, consider that as you order a larger volume, most companies become less expensive per serving. Also consider whether individual meals are the right choice if you’re looking to feed a large group.
Preparation: While most prepared meals only take minutes to heat up in the microwave, consider that some kits may have alternative instructions for stovetop heating, may require defrosting if frozen, and more. You can usually learn more about this by exploring the recipes as you select them for your order.
Sustainability: If you’re looking to prioritize the planet with your prepared meal delivery service, consider looking for the company’s sustainability platform on its website. You may be able to find information on sourcing, animal welfare requirements, farming partners and practices, and even details on how to properly dispose of all the packaging so that you can minimize your impact.
Dietary Needs: Some prepared meal services are designed with dietary requirements in mind, while others are less so. If you’re looking to accommodate medically necessary restrictions, thoroughly check out each service’s offerings and dietary accommodations.
