Even as coronavirus lockdowns are beginning to lift, many people are continuing to shelter in place and practice social distancing. A lot of people understandably are still apprehensive about going to the grocery store to pick up meal fixings. And for these people, prepared meal delivery has helped lift a major burden from their shoulders.
Personally, I’ve been a fan of having fresh ingredients shipped right to my door for a while now. I began to research this list of the best meal delivery services before COVID-19 hit and am happy to present it to you now in hopes that receiving healthy meals and ingredients from a prepared meal delivery service without having to brave your local market will relieve a bit of stress during this highly stressful time.
Before we dive into the list of prepared meal delivery services, let’s answer some questions. First, how are these set apart from our favorite meal kit delivery service options? While the meal kit revolution — which led to household meal kit delivery names like Blue Apron and Hello Fresh — was all about providing you with the basic ingredients and instructions on how to pull it all together into a delicious fresh meal, we’re betting you no longer have time or patience to do that. Pandemics are exhausting, and truth be told, setting up a meal plan, going through the process of meal prep and then cooking are really only fun when you’ve got the time to develop your recipes, go to the grocery store to shop for your own ingredients and otherwise flex your chef muscles.
That’s why these oven-ready meal kits and healthy prepared meal services have emerged as a fully prepared meals turnkey solution when you need quick, easy and delicious meal options on the menu, but your budget for your favorite meal for takeout is running thin.
