Whether you're a long-time vegan with zero time to grocery shop or are curious about eating more plants but don't know where to start, you're in luck. Some of the best meal delivery services out there now cater to the growing masses of people going vegan (myself included!), and many are even completely plant-based. Basically, it's never been easier to live the herbivorous lifestyle now that you can get delicious plant-based meals easily delivered straight to your door.
"Providing tasty, attractive vegan food is not a meal service's only important factor," says Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN, nutritionist, and author of Read It Before You Eat It: Taking You from Label to Table. "The dishes should be nutritionally well-balanced, too." Taub-Dix advises you to do your research, making sure you're getting an intake of vital nutrients, like B12, iron, calcium, and plant-based protein while also keeping an eye out on ingredients lists for heightened amounts of sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats like hydrogenated oils.
There are tons of vegan meal delivery service options out there depending on the kinds of foods you like, if you're gluten-free, have a lot of allergies, want a recipe-guided meal kit, or just microwave-ready, chef-prepared dishes. Plus, many of these delivery services support holistic vegan lifestyles, making sustainable farming practices a core part of their brand missions. And, each of the services on this list have been vetted by reviewers who can't stop raving about their great culinary experiences and satisfied stomachs. In fact, my vegan self has tried many of these over the years, so a few of them have my own seal of approval, too.
I mean, some of these even feature chef and nutritionist-crafted meals, so you can trust that you're getting seriously high-quality food straight to your door. So, go ahead and start making your Sunday brunch plans, because you're no longer spending half your weekend grocery shopping and meal prepping.

As a personal fan of Daily Harvest, I recommend it to any of my friends who are curious about going vegan or just want an easy way to eat healthy while eating foods that are actually so delicious.
I swear by their mint cacao and banana almond smoothies, but am also a huge fan of the soups, power bowls (like plant-based bolognese!), and delicious flatbread pizzas. Yup, there's pizza!

Sakara is basically a holistic wellness service that also happens to deliver fully-prepared, organic, plant-based meals, many of which are beloved by celebrities like Kate Hudson and Hillary Duff.
With imaginative, upscale dishes from rose petal pancakes with sweet peach butter to lavender quesadillas with broccoli pesto, I had the luxury of testing this out for a week and was amazed by how delicious their nutrient-dense foods were.
How it works: Sakara pretty much takes all the guesswork out of eating healthy. They cater to three meals a day for five days a week, all of which come with your own personal calendar telling you what to eat for each meal every day. Since they use so many fresh ingredients (their goal is to get you to eat six cups of leafy greens a day!), deliveries come twice in one week.
Cost: 15 meals for $349 (If the price tag scares you, try the recipe book or protein bars available on Amazon!)
Reviewer rave: "Omg I had this this week. I don't even know how to describe the deliciousness flavor cornucopia of things that were happening to my taste buds. I don't even know if that makes sense, but omg." —Lori B., facebook.com

Bonus: The company donates all unused food from their kitchens to local charities through Feeding America.
How it works: After choosing between the Standard or Low-Carb menu, select how many meals you'd like per day for either five or seven days a week.

If you want control over your eats, opt for the a la carte menu.
Pricing: 21 standard meals per week for $177 or 21 low-carb meals per week for $210
Reviewer rave: "I've had the BEST experience ever with Fresh n lean! I am a health care provider and work as a hospitalist!

Don't let the name fool you. By loading you up with a wide variety of vegan "meats," The Very Good Butchers won't come close to butchering your plant-based diet.

All you have to do is add whatever produce, nuts, or grains you need to round out the meal. All pre-cooked foods arrive frozen.
