When you choose to eat vegan, it doesn’t mean you need to eat boring. Thankfully, for the greater good of the population’s health and the environment, the plant-based world is booming, and so are vegan meal-delivery services. Whether you’re dabbling in plant-based eating or are a full-fledged vegan, we have you covered.
Below, you’ll find a variety of vegan meal-delivery choices, from pantry staples and meal kits to frozen pizzas and fancy cakes. Because we get it — some nights, you feel like cooking, and some nights you feel like diving straight into that cinnamon crumb cake. But whichever mood you find yourself in, we have something for you.
What to Consider
Check the Ingredients List
When ordering a vegan meal-delivery service online, the first thing to consider is whether or not it’s entirely vegan by checking the ingredients list. If you’re trying to eat more plant-based foods for your health, you likely won’t care if a “plant-powered” meal kit plan features the occasional tablespoon of honey on the ingredient list or if there’s a bit of cheese to sprinkle on your salad. But if you’re totally vegan, make sure you look for keywords like “vegan” and “100% plant-based” to ensure you’re ordering something with ingredients you’re entirely comfortable eating (or might be allergic to).
Meal Format
Deciding how exactly you want your vegan meal-delivery service is essential. Do you want frozen meals for weeknight dinners in a pinch? Do you want DIY cooking kits where you tie on your apron and whip up a meal from scratch? How about something in between? Meal services come in all formats, so be sure to select which one is best for you.
Taste Matters
Like just about everything you eat, taste is super important. If you’re new to a vegan diet, we recommend looking for dishes that don’t replace tried-and-true omnivore favorites (say, a cheeseburger or pizza), but instead look to dishes like chili or soups that introduce you to new flavor profiles. By doing this, you’ll delight your palate in unexpected ways without catapulting you into a comparison game with what you would expect from traditional meat- and dairy-laden dishes.
Pricing
Like any meal-delivery service, price depends on a variety of factors like whether the food is organic and/or local, the quantity of food you’re ordering, and shipping. Most meal-delivery kit services let you subscribe on a weekly basis and cancel or pause as you please, but several companies also offer à la carte options. The prices are pretty comparable with traditional meal-delivery services, though obviously, if you’re looking for an ultra luxe, all organic 6-day feast, it can cost you.

How We Evaluated
We made sure you won’t be spending half your night in the kitchen for the meal kits that involved cooking. We set timers to ensure the recipe card timelines lived up to their promises (spoiler alert: They did!) and that no overly complicated culinary techniques were involved. We also considered environmentally-friendly packaging and ethics — selecting companies that commit to the planet not only by selling vegan food but also by using recyclable and compostable materials.
Check out the best vegan meal-delivery services below, and prepare to become plant-based-obsessed.

Editor's Pick
Sunbasket
Sunbasket

If you’re looking for interesting, restaurant-quality meals at home, we love the vegan offerings from Sunbasket, available in both heat-and-eat and meal-kit formats if you prefer slicing for your supper. Meals start at just $8.99 per serving.
Two of our favorite vegan meals from the dietitian-approved meal-delivery service are the rainbow quinoa–black bean tacos with guacamole and cabbage slaw (meal kit) and the spicy yuba noodle japchae with kale, mushrooms, and pickled carrots (“Fresh & Ready”).
FYI: If you’re dealing with a variety of dietary preferences in your household, Sunbasket has you covered with additional options like paleo, gluten-free, diabetes-friendly, pescatarian, and carb-conscious, among other lifestyles.

Runner Up
Splendid Spoon
Splendid Spoon
Plans start at $65
These ready-to-eat meals (ordering options run from $65-$185) arrive frozen save for the delectable line of smoothies and shots (the wellness shot with orange juice, lemon juice, ginger juice, oregano extract, and sea salt has been a favorite of late.)
Best of all, they’re all brimming with nutrients and are gluten-free. The company is female-founded and super devoted to sustainability, right down to their 100% recyclable packaging and dry-ice packaging instead of gel packs.
Recently, we’ve been partial to the High Protein plan with at least 20 grams of protein per meal with standouts like the vegan meatball and marinara noodles and the kimchi fried quinoa grain bowl.

Packed With Fruits and Veggies
Daily Harvest
Daily Harvest
From $5.99 per serving
Daily Harvest is all about making it easy (and tasty) for you to get more fruits and veggies each day with flatbreads, smoothies, soups, bites, and more. Prep is as simple as removing items from your freezer and heating up or adding a liquid like milk or coconut water. Items cost $5.99 to $8.99 per item, and you can select from a variety of plans to save money.
The company is all about food that’s free of dairy, gluten, and anti-anything artificial or hyper-processed. We appreciate their dedication to minimizing their carbon footprint with compostable and recyclable packaging. Plus, their frozen food delivery format reduces food waste by nearly 50%.
This summer, the brand launched two new Scoops flavors, which is their line of plant-based ice-cream. Made with organic cashews, the new pistachio and toasty, buttery hazelnut crunch and cold-brew and roasted espresso bean chip flavors are nothing short of delicious — and we can’t stop eating them.

Great For Keto Diets
Green Chef
Green Chef
Plans start at $79
This USDA-certified organic meal kit company will put satisfying Keto meals on your table with only 20 to 40 minutes of cooking time. Plans start from $79 per week.
The Plant-Powered plan has both fully vegan and vegetarian options, with all the ingredients arriving pre-measured and prepped to save you time in the kitchen. Their delicious Boom Boom Cauliflower Bowls and Green Goddess sandwiches are two of our recent favorites.

Ideal for Weight Loss
Sakara Life Organic Meal Delivery
Sakara Life
From $25 per day
Billed as a program to help you experience the power of food as medicine, we particularly love turning to Sakara after a week of overindulgence or if you need an energy reboot. Plans start at $25 per day — all of which are gluten-free, dairy-free, non-GMO, and include no refined sugar. Even still, these meals manage to keep your taste buds happy with standout dishes like the Superfood Sweet Potato Bowl and Anti-Inflammatory Veggie Masala.
The meals are so delectable you won’t even notice that one week on the program provides 100% of your daily requirements for protein, essential vitamins, and minerals.
Worth noting: Some meals contain honey, so if you’re a strict vegan, this isn’t the meal-delivery service for you.

Great for Newbies
Territory Foods
Territory Foods

New to plant-based eating? Ease in with plant-based (vegetarian and vegan meals) or vegan meals from $7.99 per serving. Made by local chefs and health-centric eateries, Territory Foods offers the convenience of once- or twice-weekly delivery in recyclable and compostable packaging to boot.
We’re currently loving the burrito bowl with mushroom chorizo and cashew cream and tofu bibimbap with sticky rice and pickled veggies (it has a real kick!), but there’s no shortage of great options from which to choose.
Territory Foods donates the monetary equivalent of approximately 1.2 pounds of redistributed food to Feeding America to help support individuals facing food insecurity with every order.

Treat Yourself
Provenance Meals Detox Glow
Provenance Meals
$395 for 6 days
We’re not going to lie to you — these meals are pricey. But if you’re looking for a healthy reset, the Provenance Detox Glow ($395) gives you 6 days of stellar organic, gluten-free, and dairy-free meals with no refined sugar. Plus, they’re crafted by nutrition experts to help promote weight loss, a healthy gut, better sleep, glowing skin, and more.
Since some honey is used in the meals, you can’t call the program fully vegan. But if you’re OK with that, get excited to feast on dishes like beluga lentil and beet salad with orange blossom vinaigrette, and slow-roasted chipotle jackfruit with creamed squash and jicama slaw.
For a shorter healthy eating program, try the three-day Feel Good Fix or, for something more affordable, the Daily Essentials Program, which costs $12-29 a meal.
