If you can’t decide which type of meal kit you need, then Sunbasket is a safe choice. They offer a ton of variety, including standard meal kits, semi-prepared options and totally premade meals. All dishes are made with high-quality ingredients and organic produce, and every recipe is crafted by chefs and registered dietitians.
How it performed in our tests: A favorite healthy meal delivery service, I appreciate that the brand offers plans for paleo, carb-conscious, gluten-free-friendly, keto-friendly, diabetes-friendly, Mediterranean, vegetarian and pescatarian. During testing, I found that the Fresh & Ready meals heated best in the oven, but the microwavable option was handy in a time crunch. I also appreciated that the brand’s dietitians ensure that meals are typically under 800 calories and 800 milligrams of sodium but high in protein and fiber. Sunbasket’s sustainable packaging and delivery is a major effort for the brand, and really stood out to me.
Overall, our testers loved the creative and unique recipes, with 100% of testers saying the service encouraged them to try something new. The breakfast options were also a big hit. “Great quality, sustainable packaging and flavorful meals,” said one tester. The actual meal selection isn’t super robust, but the service does give you the option to add standalone proteins to your box which can save you a trip to the butcher or fishmonger.
