Why we like it: Factor — formerly Factor 75 — features dietitian-designed prepared meals with creative flavor combinations and textures that hold up after reheating.
We also appreciate that Factor meals are nutrient-rich and are free of gluten, refined sugars, hormones, antibiotics, and GMOs, making it a good option if you’re looking for healthy prepared meal delivery for weight loss or bodybuilding .
Meanwhile, all subscriptions include a free 20-minute consultation with a registered dietitian, and monthly coaching packages are available for an additional fee.
“Factor’s menu includes a wide range of protein types and vegetables. Although I wish it featured a larger variety of cuisine, the meals still had great flavors and textures after reheating,” said McGrane.

Why we like it: Splendid Spoon’s plant-based meal delivery service offers a wide selection of prepared offerings — including soups, noodle bowls, entrees, and smoothies — compatible with a healthy meal plan. You can also try the service without a subscription by ordering from the Splendid Spoon Marketplace.
Unlike many other meal delivery services, Splendid Spoon doesn’t have separate meal plans to choose from. But you can filter by meal type, dietary needs, ingredients you want to avoid, nutritional benefits, and taste and texture, such as spicy or sweet. This makes it easy to find the healthy meal options that best fit your needs and preferences.
Although the meal kits are not designed to be low in carbs or fat, nutritional information is available for each item. Many of the meals contain fewer than 400 calories, so they may leave you feeling hungry.
Soups and noodle bowls are flash frozen for freshness, which helps maximize their shelf life. Smoothies and entrees called Dishes are refrigerated and shipped in recyclable insulation to ensure that they arrive fresh.
The taste of the meals won over our tester.
“I found Splendid Spoon to be a more nutritious and flavorful alternative to buying frozen meals from the grocery store,” McGrane said. “I found all of the ingredients in my meals to be flavorful and fresh-tasting, even after reheating, and none of the ingredients became soggy or mushy — a win for prepared meal delivery .”
Regarding the smoothies, McGrane observed a variation in texture, with some being creamy and others having an overly watery consistency.
“The flavors, though, were good and not too sweet,” she added, and she opted to add oat milk to some smoothies to make them creamier.
She also noted that most items fit easily into the fridge and freezer, but the bowls and soups can be a bit bulky to store.

Why we like it: With its extensive menu of frozen, fully prepared meals, Trifecta Nutrition provides healthy meals that can especially help support your training and fitness goals.
Several of its meal plans include well-balanced meals with organic produce and sustainably sourced seafood or grass-fed meats. Trifecta’s rotating menus include breakfast, lunch, and dinner entrees, and you can also order protein, veggies, and carbs a la carte.
Healthline writer Rachael Ajmera , MS, RD, found Trifecta meals to be “nutritionally balanced, filling, and delicious.”
She did note that following the recommendation to heat the prepared meals on the stovetop retained ingredient texture better than heating them in the microwave.

Why we like it: With a rotating menu of more than 35 prepared meals to choose from each week — created by local and regional chefs — Territory Foods has a robust selection of nutritious offerings that support both keto and paleo diets.
All meals are free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, and the company uses responsibly sourced, local ingredients, including proteins that are naturally raised, without hormones or antibiotics, to ensure that you receive a healthy meal.
“I didn’t expect to like this [service] as much as I did,” said Healthline Senior Editor Candice Abellon.
“The variety of meals is good [with] chicken, beef, and fish options as well as plant-based proteins. Meals included those that had less or no grains, and there were filters for low carb and keto to make them easier to find.
“The serving size was [also] good for me — there was just a little more than I could eat in one sitting.”

Why we like it: Epicured offers a wide range of nutritious, prepared meals, including entrees, salads, soups, side dishes, and snacks, all of which are gluten-free and low in FODMAPs — carbohydrates that can cause digestive issues for some people.
“I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of cuisine, protein, and vegetable types offered. I prefer to eat mostly vegetarian, with one to two meat dishes per week, and I found it very easy to find options that fit those preferences,” said McGrane. “I also like that there was a good variety of types of meals, including sandwiches, rice dishes, soups, salads, etc.”
Still, McGrane said she wished that Epicurious’ sign-up process and subscription menu selection were both a bit clearer and more streamlined and that shipping wasn’t so expensive.
“Overall, while choosing items is easy, the other processes are a bit clunky.”

Why we love it: DooFood brings the flavors of Korea to your doorstep and makes cooking a breeze by doing all the prep work for you. It’s not a subscription service, meaning you can place orders whenever you’d like. There’s no need to worry about recurring payments or pausing and canceling subscriptions.
Meal kits arrive with everything you need, pre-chopped and ready to go. According to the website, you just need to have salt, pepper, and olive oil on hand, and DooFood handles the rest. Most meals are ready within 15 minutes.
Nutrition and allergen information are available on the website for each recipe. However, keep in mind that even if a recipe does not include an allergen, it’s processed in the same facility, so DooFood may not be suitable for people with severe food allergies.
According to the website, the company also prioritizes eco-friendly packaging, claiming that it creates 50% less waste than leading meal kit services.
DooFood ships out twice per week. It requires orders of $60 minimum.

Which type of food delivery is healthier: frozen or fresh? Healthy food delivery can be fresh or frozen, though fresh food is often considered healthier than frozen food.
But it depends on what foods you’re eating. Frozen meats or foods high in saturated fats and sodium definitely aren’t as healthy as frozen fruits and vegetables.
And eating frozen fruits and vegetables is better than not eating them at all. They can sometimes even be safer to eat because they’re less likely than raw produce to carry foodborne illness.
