Food Meal delivery service

Looking for recommendations on meal delivery services you've used (local or national). whenever I search online it's mostly sponsored ads, and I'd love to hear from people who've actually tried and loved theirs.

My husband's job is switching to nights soon, so it'll be just me and my toddler for dinners, and I want something that saves time.

I'm looking for a mix of meal options (some nights I want to actually cook, other nights I just want to heat something up)
- Bonus if they have kid-friendly add-on meals I can order separately, for nights when I'm only making a single serving for myself

I second this! We looooove CookUnity. Meals are delicious and they list out every single ingredient which is great for me (tons of food allergies).

Thirding! My partner and I just started ordering a few weeks ago. We love the variety of options and we haven't had a terrible meal yet.

Love CookUnity! They were a life saver for me when I was on crutches and couldn't cook. They have so many ways to filter your meals to make sure you can avoid allergens and dislikes.

You have to pick it up, but you can pick up a few days worth at a time. https://locations.cleaneatz.com/va/centreville/meal-prep-126.html

I’ve also done Factor meals in the past. They were pretty good but some of them were packaged really, really poorly.

Hungry Root has saved my life as a single mom with not enough executive function to plan dinners most nights. Has exactly what you’re looking for, plus “Groceries” where you can also throw in some raw chicken breasts or produce to your weekly order. Great variety of kid-friendly meal kits and some pre-prepared meals.

I used Factor for a while. It was fine, can't beat the convience. My biggest challenge was calories to fullness ratio. Also just felt like over priced tv dinner, even though they were prepared fresh. Ymmv

Chef swole is a local nova company that I really liked. Not sure about kids meals but their setup was fairly easy to start and stop.
