Regardless of the meal kit company you're looking at, it likely claims to save you time and energy. But in many cases, the kits require just as much time and effort, and just as many pans, to prepare meals from scratch.
This category has grown a lot in recent years, and moved far above the territory of airplane food or frozen TV dinners you might associate with it.
We like these more labor-intensive kits because we like to cook. They give us recipe inspo and they can be great for teaching newer home cooks techniques and flavor combinations.
The best overall: CookUnity, starts at $11/serving; The best healthy prepared meal service: Factor, starts at $12/serving; The best sustainable prepared meal service: Sunbasket, starts at $10/serving; The bougie option: Sakara, starts at $26/serving.
