Sunbasket has a health and sustainability angle, offering Paleo, gluten-free, pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan, carb-conscious, Mediterranean, “quick and easy,” diabetes-friendly, and “lean and clean” recipes developed by former Slanted Door chef Justine Kelly. All meat ingredients are antibiotic- and hormone-free and the eggs are organic. When it comes to fish, Sunbasket uses wild-caught seafood recommended by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program. With more than 20 weekly recipes, you can choose between oven-ready meals, prepped servings, and classic meals that still require you to do all the chopping; servings vary between two and four.

Pros:

1. The recipes were creative and interesting and come with an option for either vegetarian or various proteins (pescatarian and not). We really liked that flexibility.
2. The recipe cards were clear, easy to follow, and most importantly, easy to have on the counter while we were working.
3. All the ingredients were fresh and arrived in good condition, which is a challenge for any nationwide meal kit company to pull off.

Cons:

1. The portions are a little smaller on Sunbasket than on some others.

Sunbasket is best for: A new home cook looking to experiment with new ingredients or techniques.

Pricing: Meals start at $9.99/serving.

FlexPro’s heat-and-eat lineup is another offering for those who don’t like to meal prep. It’s targeted towards fitness-minded people with two different menus: One geared toward weight loss and another, the “lean muscle” menu, geared toward building muscle. Both menus can be tailored to work with specific dietary preferences. Customers create their entire menu and can filter their choices to be keto-friendly, low-calorie, high-protein, low-carb, beef-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and/or pork-free. FlexPro also has a Power Bakery with protein-packed cookies and brownies that you can add to any weekly order.
