Best Healthy Meal Delivery Service | The Healthiest Meal Kits in 2025

To test each meal delivery service, I tried at least five years and sometimes up to 10 meals from a given service. I tried to choose a range of meals in the various menus and offers of meal plans. For example, if a service offers plant -based meals, I was sure to try at least one. I also mixed the types of meals to include rice bowls, meat dishes, plant -based offers and other different styles offered by the brand. In addition, I made sure to test a variety of kitchens – Italian, Indian, Thai, Mexican – if they were offered.

Because healthy foods are subjective and people have variable nutritional needs and objectives, I tried to approach this list from all angles and determine what meal services were healthier for different types of eaters. People who respect the keto diet, for example, can consider the delivery of low -healthy meals with “healthier” carbohydrates. Others who judge vegans and foods based on healthier plants than meals with meat are looking for a service that offers more meatless options.

I also took a careful note from the website of each meal delivery service, including the information provided (ingredients, nutritional information), to what extent the menu was organized and how easy it was to choose a healthy meal plan and order meals. When they arrived, I noted how excited they were and checked if each meal was still refrigerated or frozen.

To warm meals, I adopted a double approach. For some, I meticulously followed the heating instructions on the label. As these are suggestions, I warmed other meals as I would do if I would do it on my own devices. Often it meant to warm up gently in a non -stick pan or warm up in an air fryer. Many meal delivery services offer a heating option in the microwave, but I have almost always found that it has produced less good results.

Testing the meal kits requires cooking and therefore a little practices and evaluation procedures. Here is more about how we test the meal kits at CNET.
