Just look at the difference between Daily Harvest's stark images of vegetables in a bowl, compared to HelloFresh's colorful plates brimming with warm meals and a scattering of fresh herbs or toasted breadcrumbs on top. Both the menu and presentation, including pictures of the food and how the company describes it, determine whether it speaks to your taste buds. It's a little like choosing a restaurant.

Looking at the weekly menus for a few services and comparing them tells you a lot about what makes each one unique. In our experience, this is the most important part of choosing a service. How to Choose Food From a Meal Delivery Serviceīefore you sign up for a meal delivery service, you should preview the menu for the upcoming week and future weeks. MisenBox partners with local restaurants to deliver their food as meal kits nationwide.

However, most other services deliver anywhere in the United States, except for Alaska and Hawaii, in about one week. Housemade, which we've reviewed, depends on you being near a physical Just Salad restaurant, although the service plans to expand in the future. Some services, such as Snap Kitchen or Vegetable and Butcher, only deliver to their local communities.

There's even a ramen delivery service called Ramen Hero, which we have reviewed, that sends pre-measured ingredients in heat-safe pouches that you warm in boiling water to make your own Japanese noodle soup. Sakara Life’s pricey subscription sets you up with a highly curated wellness plan and includes meals that purportedly improve whatever issues you have, such as making your skin clearer or increasing your energy. Yumble specializes in kid-friendly foods in kiddie portion sizes. We haven't had an opportunity to test them all, but if their unique hooks sound appealing to you, consider doing some more research.
