The best vegan meal delivery services, compared

A vegan meal delivery service is worth it on exactly the weeks you would otherwise eat toast for dinner. The trick is paying for the format you will actually use: a fridge full of fresh bowls is wasted if you travel, and frozen meals are wasted if you hate microwaves.

  7. 7Sakara LifeThe luxury option

We looked at seven services that are entirely plant-based, or have a plant-based plan good enough to stand on its own. The table shows the price you pay per serving at a normal order size, not the first-box promo, plus shipping, because a $9 box fee on a four-meal order is a 25% surcharge.

At a glance

Per-serving prices are what you pay at a normal order size, not the first-box promo. Shipping is listed separately because it changes the maths.

No. 1

Purple Carrot

Best overall
Visit Purple Carrot

Purple Carrot has been the only 100% plant-based kit for years and it shows in the recipes, which taste like someone cooked vegetables on purpose rather than removed the meat. Start on the kit plan; add prepared meals once you know which nights you actually cook.

Price
About $11 per serving for kits, $13 for prepared meals
Format
Cook-yourself kits (2 or 4 servings) and single-serve prepared meals
Shipping
Free on most plans; small orders may carry a fee
Delivers to
Contiguous US
Best for
People who want one service that does both cooking nights and lazy nights

Good

  • Everything on the menu is plant-based, so there is nothing to filter
  • Kits are genuinely good: beet burgers, miso-glazed eggplant, proper sauces
  • Prepared meals cover the nights you cannot be bothered

Not so good

  • You cannot pick your delivery day on every plan
  • Portions on kits run modest for big appetites

No. 2

Hungryroot

Best value
Visit Hungryroot

Hungryroot is the one to pick if the alternative is takeout three nights a week. Set the plant-based preference during the quiz, then treat the weekly box as your grocery run rather than a restaurant substitute.

Price
Roughly $4 breakfast, $6 lunch, $9 dinner per serving
Format
Grocery-style box with 10-minute recipes and ready-made items
Shipping
$6.99, free over about $70
Delivers to
Contiguous US
Best for
Households that want groceries and meals in one order, with a plant-based filter switched on

Good

  • Cheapest way to get a week of plant-based dinners delivered
  • Very little cooking: most recipes are assemble-and-heat
  • Easy to skip weeks

Not so good

  • Not vegan-only: you set the preference in a quiz and check each item
  • Less chef-y than Purple Carrot; think good weeknight food, not date night

No. 3

Sprinly

Best fresh, no-cook
Visit Sprinly

Sprinly costs what a good lunch out costs, and the food is better than most of them. If you are eating vegan for health reasons and hate cooking, this is the one.

Price
About $18 per meal (6 meals from around $109)
Format
Fresh, never frozen, ready to eat
Shipping
About $9.99 per box
Delivers to
Most of the contiguous US
Best for
Anyone who wants restaurant-quality vegan food with zero prep

Good

  • Organic ingredients and big, satisfying portions
  • Menus lean whole-food: grains, legumes, lots of vegetables
  • Meals keep about a week in the fridge

Not so good

  • The most expensive per meal in this list after Sakara
  • Six-meal minimum every order

No. 4

Mosaic Foods

Best frozen
Visit Mosaic Foods

Mosaic is what frozen food should have been all along. Order twelve at a time to kill the shipping fee and you have a month of backup dinners.

Price
Bowls about $11, soups about $9, family meals about $24 for four
Format
Frozen, handmade veggie bowls, soups, pizzas and family trays
Shipping
$9.99 to $19.99, free on orders of 12 or more
Delivers to
Eastern and central US; check your zip
Best for
Stocking the freezer with meals that actually taste of vegetables

Good

  • Frozen means no waste and no fixed delivery rhythm
  • Family meals are a rare thing in vegan delivery
  • Ingredients sourced from named farms

Not so good

  • Delivery does not reach the whole country
  • Freezer space: a 12-meal order is a lot of boxes

No. 5

Splendid Spoon

Best for lunches and smoothies
Visit Splendid Spoon

Think of Splendid Spoon as a lunch subscription rather than a dinner one. The smoothies and soups earn their place; buy dinners elsewhere.

Price
Smoothies about $10, soups and bowls $12 to $13.50
Format
Ready-made smoothies, soups, grain bowls and noodles (fridge and freezer)
Shipping
Charged on boxes under 10 meals, free above
Delivers to
Contiguous US
Best for
Weekday lunches at a desk

Good

  • Everything is vegan and gluten-free
  • Grab-and-go format fits office life
  • Broad menu, 50-plus items

Not so good

  • Shipping fee bites on small orders
  • Dinners are the weakest part of the range

No. 6

Green Chef

Best organic kit with a plant-based plan
Visit Green Chef

Green Chef is a very good kit that happens to have a plant-based plan. If everyone in your house eats plants, Purple Carrot is the better fit; if not, Green Chef keeps the peace.

Price
About $12 per serving after the first-box promo
Format
Cook-yourself kits, 2 to 6 servings, organic ingredients
Shipping
$9.99 per box
Delivers to
Contiguous US
Best for
Households where one person is vegan and the others are not

Good

  • Certified organic produce, which most kits are not
  • Recipes are flavorful and easy, 30 minutes or so
  • Mixed households can order across plans

Not so good

  • Plant-based is one plan among many; the vegan selection is thin some weeks
  • The advertised $6 price is the promo, not what you pay

No. 7

Sakara Life

The luxury option
Visit Sakara Life

Sakara is the vegan meal delivery equivalent of a spa. Lovely for a week, hard to justify for a year. We list it because people ask.

Price
About $23 to $28 per meal, roughly $140 per week minimum
Format
Fresh, organic, ready to eat
Shipping
Free to about $10 depending on plan
Delivers to
Contiguous US
Best for
A reset week when money is not the constraint

Good

  • Beautiful, vibrant food with generous vegetables
  • Structured programs from one to eight weeks
  • Organic and gluten-free throughout

Not so good

  • Two to three times the price of everything else here
  • Some items contain honey, so check if you avoid it

How we chose

  • Plant-based first: the service is fully vegan, or its vegan plan is big enough to eat from every week without repeating.
  • Real prices: per-serving cost at a typical order, plus shipping, not the first-box discount.
  • Format honesty: we say whether meals are fresh, frozen or cook-yourself, because that decides whether you will use them.
  • Coverage: we note where a service does not deliver instead of pretending everything ships nationwide.

Questions people ask

What is the cheapest vegan meal delivery service?

Hungryroot works out cheapest for full weeks, at roughly $9 per dinner serving and less for lunches and breakfasts. Purple Carrot kits at about $11 per serving are the cheapest fully plant-based option.

Are vegan meal delivery services worth it?

They are worth it on the weeks you would otherwise order takeout. A $12 delivered meal beats a $20 delivery-app dinner; it does not beat a $4 bowl of lentils you cooked yourself. Most people do best with a small plan and a farmers market habit for the rest.

Which vegan meal delivery is fresh, not frozen?

Sprinly and Sakara ship fresh, never-frozen meals. Purple Carrot kits are fresh ingredients; its prepared meals arrive frozen. Mosaic Foods is frozen by design.
