Make plant-based meal planning a breeze.

Whether you're a lifelong vegetarian or just curious about a plant-based approach, incorporating more plants into your diet has a slew of benefits. From reducing inflammation to supporting immunity, plants are nutritious powerhouses that provide a ton of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and more. Not to mention that a plant-based diet can have a significant positive impact on the environment. And vegetarian meal delivery services offer a way to spice things up in the kitchen and introduce home cooks to new plant-based foods and recipes. They provide a great vessel for incorporating more veggies into your diet and reaping the benefits of plant-based meals.

The food and nutrition experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute conducted a three-month-long meal delivery service study with over 200 real-life home cooks and industry experts across the United States. We researched and evaluated over 40 services, including traditional meal kits, affordable meal delivery services and semi-prepared and ready-to-eat meals. Using this data, our registered dietitians chose the best vegetarian meal delivery services that are either exclusively vegetarian or offer a robust vegetarian menu.
