Love it or hate it, many of us are still working from home—and might be for quite a while longer—which means we have a little more time on our hands to explore trying and cooking new meals. Sure, ordering takeout or prepared meals via Postmates or Uber Eats is always a reasonably solid option, but if you’re like me and have realized that the majority of the money you’ve shelled out during the pandemic has literally gone directly to pricey contactless restaurant and lazy-day fast food orders, you may also be looking to pull back a bit on relying on these delivery apps to feed you, whether because you’re looking to save money or just trying to get back on track with healthier eating habits.
While many of us are familiar with some of the O.G. meal prep delivery and subscription serves like Hello Fresh, there are plenty of newer and more under-the-radar options the market that also deliver ready-to-cook and perfectly portioned ingredients that won’t put such a dent in your wallet, and will help you get back in the kitchen. Sure, they may not be quite as budget-friendly as shopping for your own groceries, but they’re ridiculously convenient nonetheless. Plus, these services are the perfect option for beginner chefs like me that want to dabble in the “culinary arts”, but still need just a little more help in the kitchen than the average person (hey, at least I’ve graduated from microwavable burritos, y’all!). Scroll through below to check out some of our favorite lesser-known food delivery services to try out for yourself.

If you’re not ready to give up restaurant food, but still want to get back into the habit of actually cooking food for yourself, Goldbelly’s premium meal kits are the perfect in-between solution. The delivery service offers ready-to-kit meal kits from some of the best eateries and chefs around the country for pretty reasonable price points. You can also filter results based on not only your region, but also by diet type, category, and price point, so there’s seriously something for everyone.

For those who just are simply *not* ready to graduate from the microwave to the stove and oven right now (or ever, we won’t judge) but don’t want to consume the excess sodium and preservative frozen meals often contains, it’s time to give Freshly a try. Basically, it’s a weekly subscription service that delivers fresh (not frozen) meals made by a legit chef that can be heated up and ready to eat in just three minutes. Because it’s all about balance, baby.

My neighbor, ex-boyfriend, and obviously me are all addicted to Territory Food’s super fresh, tasty, and microwave-friendly meals. They. are. so. good. The meal delivery service often teams up with local, top-rated restaurants like Los Angeles based eateries Gracias Madre and Cafe Gratitude (along with their ongoing partnership with Bravo’s Top Chef Chef Eric) and there’s always a new rotation of meal options that changes every week, so you never get bored or run out of new items to try. Of course, if you do happen to be addicted to a meal, there’s always permanent menu offerings (my favorite is the Keto Grilled Salmon with Cauliflower and Broccoli) that vary depending on your region.

Sakara Nutrition’s plant-powered meal program offers four different options to cater to your individual needs and wellness goals, with a focus on improving digestion, energy, and even enhancing your complexion through nutrition: Sakara Signature, Detox, Total Body Reset, and Brides. Each ready-to-eat meal not only tastes delicious (yes, even if you’re not vegan), but also make you feel like a new person (trust me, I just tried the Total Body Reset a week ago). Some of my favorites dishes include Pink Peppercorn Tomato Bisque, Sexy Cinnamon Rolls, and the Black Garlic BBQ Burger)

As I mentioned above, I’m not even plant-based and I absolutely loved each and every nutrient-dense meal I tried from Thistle (although, for pescatarian and carnivores, they do also offer dishes with fish and meat.) Unlike other meal delivery services, Thistle allows you to customize your menu and you can pause the program at any time—but trust me, you will not want to. Some of my favorite dishes from the program include Creamy Tomato Pasta, Cauliflower Polenta Bowl, and the Dirty Chai Oatmeal Bowl. They also offer a huge assortment of fresh juices and sides as well.
