HelloFresh
With HelloFresh you can choose between a variety of plans, including family-friendly meals, low-calorie or veggie-lover options. For right around $8 per meal, give or take, it’s cheaper than a restaurant and your meal is going to include all the necessities, including proteins, grains and vegetables. Clients curate their own meal plan for the week out of a selection of carefully chosen recipes. The supplies arrive at your doorstep, and you’re ready to cook. There are no commitments, and there’s no problem with skipping a week or canceling the service. You won’t want to, though! hellofresh.com
