Boxed Up Vegan Meal Kits & Delivery Services
by Rissa Miller
Frustrated with meal planning, shopping, and wilted, wasted veggies in the crisper drawer of your fridge? A vegan meal subscription may be the solution.
Meal delivery services simplify the process of shopping and cooking. Just decide what you want to eat in a given week, or even how much you feel like cooking. Meals are either fully ready to eat, only require heating, or come with a little prep and cooking involved, depending on the service you choose.
When you subscribe to a meal service, it cuts back on grocery trips, and meal planning becomes very easy since your food arrives pre-portioned and ready to go. The basic way it works is to scroll a menu online. Most services have varied options, even gluten-free and nut-free, and offer new items each week. You decide what you/your family might enjoy any given night. Choose from veggie burgers, soups, stews, pilafs, salads, tacos, smoothies, and more. There are options for every vegan taste and dietary need among these companies.
Generally, food delivery services offer more healthful options than resorting to carry-out on busy nights. Your freshly prepared and convenient meal was delivered to your doorstep. Since you ordered in advance, dinner plans are already taken care of. Also these make great gifts, or as a care package for ill friends or family members.
For those wanting to learn cooking skills, meal services are a good way to start. By choosing a service that requires some cooking, you can practice knife skills, sautég, and other kitchen basics with pre-measured, fresh ingredients. Directions usually come with step-by-step photos of the process, assuring your culinary success!
Worried about all that packaging? Most companies make it a significant part of their mission to be as sustainable as possible, offering compostable, recyclable, and reusable packaging.
