Sometimes, you simply don't want to put in the effort to prepare healthy meals. One option would be to order takeout but the cost can add up quickly. Luckily, there are affordable meal delivery services that have healthy meal kits delivered to seniors.
These meals are pre-prepared so they can be ready to eat in as little as 15 minutes and accommodate all kinds of dietary needs. Here are some of the top meal delivery services for you to try.
The meals from Home Chef are oven-ready so you will have to cook just a tad bit but for the price, it may very well be worth it. You'll only be paying about $10 per meal. Most customers end up paying just $70 a week for the 7-meal plan. There is a slew of options such as meat, fish, and nuts. You also have the option of removing what you don't want if you're simply not in the mood for certain things or you're allergic.
As you're probably aware by looking at the name of this meal delivery service, Home Bistro is not cheap. The service provides gourmet meals to its customers. Some of the meals are prepared by famous chef Cat Cora. Home Bistro has a robust menu with options such as short ribs, fire-grilled salmon, Mediterranean steak, and more. Home Bistro has its meals cooked by world-class chefs and delivered frozen. The asking price ranges from $17 to $29 per meal. For the Cat Cora packages, pricing is anywhere from $174.99 to $499.99 depending on how many meals you want.
While Home Bistro may put a hurting on your wallet, Freshly is one of the cheapest meal delivery services you can get despite its solid quality. Freshly does cook meals before they are delivered but they are never frozen. Healthy options are available at Freshly but you can also have some comfort food as well. Most of Freshly's meals come chock-full of vegetables to help fill you up without packing on the pounds. From chicken to steak to pasta, Freshly has you covered. The more meals you order per week, the cheaper the individual meal will be. You can order a 12-meal-per-week plan for $8.49 per meal, which is a steal.
When it comes to food, quality is king. Some people are hesitant when it comes to food delivery services as they're unsure just how good the food will be. With Fresh n' Lean, you can breathe easier. Some of the meal options have been described as restaurant quality. There is also a slew of package options from keto to vegan. There's even a low-carb offering as well as protein and paleo options. Pricing varies depending on your meal plan. You can get one to three meals a day with the 5-day and 7-day options.
This is a solid option if you want quick and healthy breakfasts, lunches, and snacks. If you're a fan of flatbreads, you're going to love Daily Harvest. There is a bevy of flatbread options from kale and sweet potato to artichoke and spinach. Daily Harvest also has plenty of smoothies that are ready to blend as well as oat bowls for breakfast. The options don't stop there as Daily Harvest also has a variety of soups and even ice cream. Pricing varies from $6 per serving to $9. It all depends on which plan you select.
