Best Chef-Crafted Vegan Meal Delivery Service

Best Chef-Crafted Vegan Meal Delivery Service

CookUnity

The pull of CookUnity is that it’s developed and created by pro chefs who prioritize quality ingredients that are locally sourced. For a non-vegan brand, its plant-based meal options are incredibly diverse and actually tasty. Think: Black bean enchiladas, cauliflower tikka masala, and roasted vegetable lasagna.

While the service features meals crafted by chefs in your area, it doesn’t offer too much customization when it comes to each order. When you sign up for the service, you can select your dietary preferences and any allergens that you need to avoid. You can also edit those preferences any time between orders, but you won’t be able to customize each meal to exclude or include certain ingredients. But these guys offer about 200 recipes, spanning cuisines from Haitian to Italian, so you’re more likely than not to find something you like.

Overall, the meals were fresh, flavorful, and easy to prepare. Plus, they come with recyclable packaging, so you can feel good about your carbon footprint.

At around $12-$15 a pop, these meals are priced on-par with fast-casual bowl chains like Cava and Sweetgreen. The subscription plans CookUnity offers are flexible, with the option to pause or cancel your subscription at any time. You can find the company via its site or mobile app, which makes it easy to manage your subscription on the go.

Cons
  • Vegan options are more compared to other diets

Buyer and nutrition experts alike have consistently given Green Chef high marks for its chef-crafted meals that deliver nutrition. This meal service offers easy-to-prepare dishes that can be ready to eat in 45 minutes or less, making cooking delicious plant-based meals at home easy. The company is certified organic, too.

Here’s how it works: Start by selecting the vegan option, then choose the size of the box based on the number of people you will be serving. You can select three or four meals per week, and pre-measured ingredients for each recipe are delivered weekly. Some of the most popular vegan options among customers include dishes like bahārāt-spiced couscous salad and kale and bean-stuffed peppers. We’re talking lots of exciting flavors.

Green Chef is known for its high-quality ingredients, fresh and varied meal options, and creative and inventive recipes. One buyer on the brand’s site raved about the exceptional quality and taste of the meals, while another commented on how easy they were to prepare. Multiple reviewers mention the convenience of pre-measured ingredients, the innovative recipes, and the delicious flavors.

Purple Carrot

Founded in 2014, Purple Carrot offers flavorful and creative meal kits and prepared meals. It delivers nationwide, and can also be found at Target. We love the variety of meal plans offered, including a high-protein plan, quick and easy meals, and chef’s choice. Each week, customers can choose from a selection of different recipes, which are designed by the service’s team of chefs to include a nice range of cuisines and flavors.

Not a great cook, but looking to learn? Opt for the low-prep, foolproof meal kits, which have pre-portioned ingredients with recipes that are easy to follow. Bonus: the company works hand-in-hand with nutritionists to make sure each meal is nutritionally balanced.

Best Variety Vegan Meal Delivery Service

Splendid Spoon

What started out as a vegan soup company has grown into arguably one of the tastiest vegan and gluten-free meal delivery services on the market. Splendid Spoon crafts its dishes with simple ingredients and great taste, offering smoothies, soups, grain bowls and so much more.

Each week, subscribers can choose from over 65 animal-free options. Which, compared to other brands with vegan offerings, is a huge selection. All ingredients are non-GMO, too, if that’s important to you.

Orders are available for 7, 14 or 21 meals at a time, and can be highly customized to your needs and preferences. An additional on-demand option lets clients make a one-time purchase of certain items in bulk. Unfortunately, a lot of the products come wrapped in plastic packaging that can’t be recycled.

A standout feature: Blood-sugar-friendly meals, which may be suitable for those with medical needs.
