10 Best Meal Delivery Services, Tested by an Ex-Restaurant Critic
Here are the best delivery services and meal kits in 2026, including the Martha Stewart meal service, a GLP-1–supportive plan, and a budget-friendly option.
Meal delivery services and kits can save time and elevate home cooking, even for seasoned chefs. After testing top meal kit providers over two years, I've narrowed down the best options for various needs and budgets. Marley Spoon stands out for its genuine home-cooked meals, global flavors, and 15-minute dishes, while Home Chef offers flexibility for busy families at affordable prices.
EveryPlate is ideal for budget-conscious shoppers, and Green Chef provides healthful, tailored diets, including gluten-free options. CookUnity is perfect for those who prefer ready-to-eat meals, as it's the best prepared-meal delivery service I've tried. After evaluating recipes, selection, sourcing, ease of preparation, convenience, packaging, ingredients, and dietary accommodations, these are the best meal kit subscriptions I've tested.
