4 Vegetarian Meal Delivery Services Compared

If you listen to the podcast, you know we’ve talked about vegetarian meal delivery services in the past. As the demand for more plant-based options goes up, businesses such as meal delivery boxes is constantly changing!

That’s a GREAT thing!

In this episode of our podcast, we’re talking vegetarian meal delivery options again but this time, with a special guest! Our guest today is Vegetarian Zen community member, Danielle Fried.

Danielle, (who we affectionately call “Listener Zero”) has been a friend of ours for almost as long as we’ve been podcasting. She became a vegetarian very close to the same time we did (about 6 years ago) and was one of the first people to reach out to us commenting on the podcast.

Very similar to us, Danielle became decided to give vegetarianism a try after watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and Vegucated along with a couple of other documentaries. Danielle is a very active member of our Peas and Carrots Society offering friendly advice to fellow members.

The High-Level Scoop!

Of the 4 meal delivery boxes tried, Danielle states that she would probably order Marley Spoon and Hello Fresh in the future. Both used high quality ingredients and the meals were crowd-pleasing.

Marley Spoon meals typically took about 30 minute to cook but did require quite a bit of cooking tools.

Ingredients and recipes were fairly easy.

All kits seemed to have more packing than was needed (not exactly eco-friendly).

Green Chef didn’t have many choices and had a longer lead time to cancel (7 days).

Purple Carrot is completely plant-based.
