In an ideal world, we would all cook meals full of fresh fruits, vegetables, and locally-farmed proteins three times a day. Unfortunately, doing so is a fantasy for most of us, and between work, family life, and hobbies, it’s easy to find yourself reaching for a frozen dinner or getting pizza delivered more often than you’d like to admit. Besides not being the healthiest choices, these quick fixes can get expensive—especially when your nightly takeout routine means you leave a full week’s worth of produce bought with good intentions to wilt in your fridge.
While we can’t give ourselves more time, we can make eating healthy easier. Food subscription boxes offer prepared meals, or easy-to-make recipes, that can cut down on both your cooking and shopping time. There are options for all kinds of diets, from vegan to gluten-free to low-carb.
While it can get a bit expensive if you choose to use a food subscription box for every meal, they can actually save you money if using them means forgoing pricey takeout. Even if you’re not looking for replacements for entire meals, there are still some great food subscription boxes that let you experiment with new snacks, or even vary your morning coffee routine. Below, we’ve gathered our favorite food subscription boxes available today, providing insight into what makes each one so special.
