Best Frozen Meal Delivery Services

Daily Harvest initially impacted the meal delivery scene with its creative and colorful smoothies, but its menu has since evolved to include a whole assortment of high-quality, plant-based sustainably sourced meals.

Ordering from Daily Harvest feels like a doorstep delivery from your favorite healthy café or smoothie joint. Its meals use primarily organic ingredients, and we like that Daily Harvest has a variety of options for all three meals of the day, which makes it a comprehensive pick. Think oat bowls, veggie-forward “harvest bowls,” and a range of gluten-free flatbreads. Everything you order arrives frozen, and all you have to do is reheat, blend, or thaw in a matter of minutes.

Daily Harvest doesn’t have a set default plan price because the approach is by design highly customizable. However, the company offers price discounts based on volume.

The company features an assortment of fully plant-based and gluten-free foods on its menu, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even dessert. These nourishing meals can be prepared and enjoyed in minutes—and they won’t break the bank, either. Additionally, Revive’s customer service was responsive and helpful, which is a major plus.

For chef-crafted meals designed for vegetarians and vegans, it’s hard to do better than Mosaic.

Mosaic’s offerings span many different types of foods, and the options are inventive and creative—especially for frozen plant-based meals. A wide array of foods such as veggie bowls, pizzas, meals, soups, and oat bowls are available, including family meals for four people (which can be hard to find with frozen meal delivery services). The offerings are truly global, from tangy Thai stir-fries to jerk lentil and plantain bowls, and the Mosaic+ line features gourmet meals created by some of New York City’s top chefs.

When placing orders, you’ll start by choosing a box size of either six, 12, or 18 items. From there, pricing will depend on what you order. Mosaic also offers volume-based discounts on orders of 12 items or more.

Smoothies, soups, and bowls are the specialty of this frozen meal delivery company, which features a full menu that’s both gluten free and plant based. We liked the fact that some of the meals don’t need any reheating, and those that do reheat easily and quickly.

You can’t get much easier than Splendid Spoon’s preparation. Testers loved the unique flavor combos for the smoothies, which could get expensive to put together on your own. The soups and grain bowls are nutritious, and we like that you can also add on products such as detox and digestion nutrition shots. Because the portion sizes felt a little small, we like this Splendid Spoon best for lunch or breakfast; dinnertime appetites might not always be sated.

Here’s how it works: You’ll start by choosing a box containing seven, 14, or 21 items, then fill the box with whatever you want. The total cost will depend on what you select for your box, with per-item prices as follows:

• Dishes: $13.49 each
• Noodles: $13.49 each
• Soup and Grain Bowls: $12.49 each
• Smoothies: $9.99 each

Alternatively, you can choose from an array of different bundles for an “on-demand” box. The prices for these boxes are à la carte and range from $82.82 to $191.79.

Blue Apron caters to curious omnivores seeking balance and variety in their meals.

We love Blue Apron’s flexibility—you can opt for its cook-it-yourself meal kits or give yourself a midweek reprieve by ordering some of its frozen, heat-and-eat options. With dishes like white bean and poblano shakshuka, togarashi shrimp and veggie fried rice, and sweet and spicy beef bowls, Blue Apron’s meals are more appealing than a lot of takeout options. Choose from 18 to 20 meals per week, along with add-ons like pantry staples, kitchen tools, and even wine. Our testers also found Blue Apron’s customer service to be very responsive, adding even more value to this service.

If you’re trying to shed a few pounds, BistroMD’s meals take all the guesswork out of meal prep with its frozen meals geared toward weight loss. They come fully prepped and nutritionally balanced, so all you need to do is reheat them, making it easier for you to stay on track with your goals.

BistroMD makes it easy for you to stay on track with your weight loss goals. Meals are easy to reheat; we found defrosting them the night before and then reheating them provided the best quality. You can choose from several meal programs geared toward different health needs, like Diabetic Friendly, Gluten Free, Keto Flex, and Heart Healthy. Your first shipment comes with some tips and info about optimal water intake and dining out, but we thought the text support with encouraging words to help with accountability and inspiration was a nice touch.

There are multiple meal programs available, including the bestselling signature program with more than 150 meals to choose from. Meals can be ordered for five or seven days a week for all three meals or just lunch and dinner.

Sample pricing for the signature program is as follows:

• 5 days of lunch and dinner: starts at $140.51
• 7 days of lunch and dinner: starts at $164.85

• Chicken, rice, and cheddar casserole
• Salmon with dill mustard sauce

Not every frozen meal delivery service is geared toward plans that provide for customers who want to order in bulk. Luckily, Clean Eatz Kitchen specializes in bulk-ordered meals that are fresh and seasonal, shipped within three days of prepping them.

Clean Eatz Kitchen calls itself a “fitness” meal delivery service rather than a diet meal plan, insofar as the meals are healthy, balanced, and cater to different dietary needs, including keto, high protein, and gluten free. You can order anywhere from six to 30 meals per order, with the 30-meal “bulk” boxes offering a slightly lower price per meal. Clean Eatz Kitchen also allows you to order meals on an as-needed basis, rather than being tied down to a subscription.

When placing orders, you’ll start by selecting either a preselected meal plan—High Protein, Keto Diet, Weight Loss, or Gluten Free—or a “build your own” meal plan where you select the dishes you want. Meals are $7.99 each and can be ordered in increments of six, 12, 24, or 30. 

You can also place bulk orders containing 30 meals per box, with pricing as follows:

• Clean Box A: $189.99
• Clean Box B: $189.99
• Keto Box: $189.99
• Breakfast Box: $189.99
