The Best Vegetarian Meal Delivery Services

Best Overall: Hungryroot

Sign Up Now

Why We Chose It: Hungryroot provides easy-to-make meals for all sorts of dietary preferences. Its healthy desserts, like black bean brownie batter and white bean peanut butter cup cookie dough, are standouts that taste like actual cookies. 

What We Like

• Healthy cooking made easy
• Desserts are incredible
• Wide variety of foods
• Meals don't take more than 20 minutes to make

What We Don’t Like

• Light on the prepared foods
• Vegetables weren't always super fresh
• Lack of variety
• Sauces can be bland 

Founded in 2015, Hungryroot has since expanded to offer more than 100 products. The best part: The service offers vegan, vegetarian, soy-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, pescatarian, tree-nut free, peanut-free, and egg-free options, so you'll definitely find something to enjoy.

Hungryroot is perfect if you’re already a creative cook and you’re looking to make your life easier. Along with snacks, the company provides you with grocery buys you can easily turn into meals that you sauté, microwave, or bake. And not to worry: It provides you with recipes, so you can make delicious meals like chickpea curry and braised lemongrass tofu nuggets or grilled chicken with cauliflower linguine. 

It's also one of the most filling vegetarian options, as the company has healthy grains like Banza chickpea pasta as well as protein, like Beyond Meatballs (paired with marinara sauce). Instead of doing an Instacart order, Hungryroot offers a much easier (and delicious) week of cooking. 

Hungryroot is especially good if you live somewhere that doesn’t have tons of vegetarian options or if you’re simply getting tired of making the same old recipes. You can use the service to order specialty grocery store items as well. 

To start your Hungryroot subscription, you'll sign up for weekly deliveries that you can pause at any time. Pricing plans average from roughly $60 to $100 per week. Minimum weekly deliveries start at about $59.

Best for Funky Flavors: Provenance Meals

Sign Up Now

Why We Chose It: Provenance Meals is a WOC-founded wellness brand that ships organic, prepared meals and snacks that are made from scratch. The service's recipes are anti-inflammatory and inspired by founder Caroll Lee’s mother’s Korean cooking. The company ships nationwide and is expanding to the west coast with more farm partners and a Los Angeles headquarters. 

What We Like

• The soups are equally healthy and delicious
• Easy to customize deliveries 

What We Don’t Like

• Combined ingredients can sometimes taste a bit unusual
• Not for picky eaters

Provenance offers prepared meals and cleanse programs that are equal parts healthy and flavorful. It's also successfully gained quite the celebrity following, including "Real Housewives" star Sonja Morgan, "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" actress Rachel Brosnahan, Naomi Watts, and more.

Provenance offers some of the most inventive meals, including Hibiscus Lime Chia Fresca for a snack, a Black Garlic Quinoa Burger with Jicama Fries and Cashew Cheese Sauce for dinner, and soups with toppings that come in their own container (so nothing ends up soggy). 

The Feel Good Fix is a great option to start with. The three-day program is about $198 and ships nationwide and comes with herbal detox tea, camu cacao shake powder, and lots more. But If you want a longer-term program, that's an option, too: Those start at about $52 per day. This one is perfect if you’re bored with making the same Alison Roman recipe every week and want to try something new. 

Best for the Northeast: Eat Sunny

Sign Up Now

Why We Chose It: We selected Eat Sunny because its plans are based on the Mediterranean diet, so they’re super healthy and filling. 

What We Like

• Focuses on superfoods and having a balanced diet 
• Offers tons of different vegetables

What We Don’t Like

• Plan is only available in the Northeast (as of January 2021)

If you’re looking for a really balanced meal plan, Eat Sunny offers whole foods, superfoods like sweet potatoes, spinach, and kale, healthy fats, and plant-based protein. What we love most about Eat Sunny is how the vegetarian options focus on slow-digesting grains and plant-based protein sources, so these will make you feel good.

Vegetarian options include baked eggs with lentils for breakfast, tempeh squash salad for lunch, and cauliflower fried rice with tofu for dinner, so you’ll be full of protein. Eat Sunny even provides snacks, like oat bars and oatmeal chickpea chocolate chip cookies.

You can opt for a three- or five-day plan, or order a la carte. Nine meals and three snacks runs about $189, with deliveries on Sundays and Wednesdays in New York City. You can also get deliveries in the Hamptons on Long Island and in Connecticut, Westchester, and New Jersey. We can’t wait until Eat Sunny starts shipping nationwide!

Best for Produce: Misfits Market

Sign Up Now

Why We Chose It: We chose Misfits Market because of its focus on great quality produce (no matter how funny it looks), and its mission to “break the cycle of food waste.” 

What We Like

• High-quality produce
• Great substitute for a farm box
• Recipes help you figure out easy new meals to make

What We Don’t Like

• Need to get some of the ingredients on your own
• Produce isn't always the most aesthetically appealing

Misfits Market offers customizable boxes of fruits, vegetables, pantry items, and even proteins—including plant-based—in weekly deliveries. The service also has a vast library of recipes on its website.

Many of those recipes use cheese and other ingredients, so they're good options for vegetarian eaters. Another fun thing to do is to use the vegetables you receive to create your own dishes.

Each box has a $30 minimum, but they're fully customizable; fill it with items of your choice, whether it's fruits and vegetables, pantry staples such as olive oil and flour, snacks, and even proteins. Misfits is a great option if you’re trying to introduce more vegetables into your diet and aren’t quite sure where to start.
