14 Healthy Meal Delivery Services for Busy People Who Want to Eat Well

Sara Cagle

Nov 07, 2018

The internet is inundated with dozens of meal-delivery services, from the healthy to the indulgent, the vegan to the keto, the novice-friendly to the chef-driven. We covered all the bases and found the web's best options for healthy meal and snack delivery companies so you can find what works best for your diet. Click on for a service that lets you order whatever nutritious food you like to your front door, be it a juice cleanse, a lot of low-carb snacks, a ready-to-eat salmon fillet, or a kit for Thai curry.

Daily Harvest ($7/meal): This soup, smoothie, and anything-you-can-eat-in-a-bowl service delivers concoctions you'd never think to make yourself, including carrot cake smoothies and mulberry-dragon fruit overnight oats. All ingredients come frozen and pre-chopped in a single container, so you need only blend or heat for a ready-to-eat meal.

Green Chef ($11/meal): These organic meals fit any diet from vegetarian to keto, and all of its pre-measured, pre-chopped ingredients come in eco-friendly packaging. Have your friends over for the roasted honey-mustard salmon with kale salad and Parmesan potato cakes. They'll think you're Wonder Woman.

Kettlebell Kitchen ($9/meal): Kettlebell's premade meals, like bison beef burgers and basil-peach grilled chicken, are designed to help you reach your fitness goals, whether you want to shed fat, build muscle, or fuel up for intense workouts. Meals can be ordered a la carte or as part of a plan, and they check out for vegetarian, keto, paleo, and Whole30 diets.

Terra's Kitchen (from $72/week): We'd show a photo of a Terra's meal if we weren't nerding out so hard over their drawer-style packaging, which is upcycled up to 100 times. The service offers ready-to-eat salads, snacks, and smoothies, as well as meal kits for any size household and dietary need. The colorful, always healthy ingredients come pre-chopped, so you can get a meal on the table in 15 to 30 minutes.

PeachDish ($13/serving): If you want to lower your butter intake but can't give up the flavors of the South, try PeachDish, which serves lightened-up takes on comforting classics like chicken and dumplings and shrimp and grits (and a quinoa bowl here and there for good measure). In addition to the rotating weekly menus, there's an online market for grocery staples and desserts — and everything is farm-to-door.

Sakara (from $80/plan): Celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow and Chrissy Teigen have turned to Sakara for plant-based, detox-friendly meal plans. Choose a complete meal-kit delivery service or a detox plan, which we've tried and is #worthit.

Pete's Paleo (from $123/plan): If you want to follow a paleo diet without searching for recipes and cooking every night, you can order a week of Pete's Paleo frozen meals, like Italian pork butt with mushroom and leek medley and mashed yams, to your front door.

Keto Delivered ($40/box): If you tend to lose control in the snack aisle, opt for Keto Delivered, which sends you a batch of enticing, low-carb snacks and ingredients to help you stick to your keto diet.

Veestro (from $7/meal): Order a la carte meals, juice cleanses, or goal-oriented meal packs, such as a 30-day wedding prep box or an athlete-friendly protein box. These ready-to-heat meals don't require a subscription, either.

Freshly (from $50/week): Freshly delivers healthier takes on traditional meat-and-potatoes-style meals, like buffalo chicken with loaded cauliflower and chicken parm with side of broccoli instead of spaghetti. You'll also find veggie options and meals inspired by other countries. Conveniently, the food is sent fresh, not frozen, so it takes under three minutes to reheat.

Purple Carrot (from $8/meal): Purple Carrot is for the plant-based eater in a tofu rut. Experiment in the kitchen with kits for miso-ginger polenta with stir-fried veggies or peanut tempeh with mango and green fried rice. Choose from quick-and-easy, high-protein, and chef's choice plans.

Thistle (from $12/meal): Thistle is health city, serving more than 40 superfoods, housemade nut milks and cheeses, and at least five fruits or veggies per meal. Plant-based and dairy- and gluten-free meals, including beet poke bowls and Mediterranean tofu scrambles, are ready to eat when they arrive.

Sun Basket (from $11/meal): Sun Basket's 30-minute meals can satisfy paleo, vegan, and other lean diets with organic produce, hormone-free meat, and wild-caught seafood. Each week's menu has 18 meal options, from squash fajitas to gingered turkey meatballs, so you'll constantly have fresh flavors to savor.

Splendid Spoon (from $65/week): Splendid Spoon's smoothies, soups, and stews could bounce you back from a week of carb-loading in Italy with light, liquid-diet wonder. Each plan (choose breakfast, lunch, soup cleanse, or a combination of each) comes with instructions on how and when to consume your items, a meditation guide for mindful eating, and plant-based dinner recipes.

I'm 5'2" & These Are The "Flattering" Petite Jeans I Swear By

Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you I'm consumed with fashion, but you know what makes me want to burn things down to the ground? It's trying to find pants or jeans that flatter my petite height. For reasons beyond my control, I'm in the 5'2" club which makes finding short girl-friendly clothes harder than it needs to be, ugh!

From boot-cut to skinny jeans, I'm picky about what I buy because I've been known to look like a tiny, angry chipmunk who's been forced to wear something against her will. Chipmunks are cute, but I'm sure they wouldn't want to wear anything ill-fitting and I'm sure you feel the same!

Keep scrolling to find the best petite jeans that anyone 5'3" and under can confidently wear!

Madewell

Madewell Petite Superwide-Leg Jeans

As a former wearer of skinny jeans, I've been on the wide-leg train for a while. They're roomier IMO and give me reassurance that I won't unnecessarily rip a seam when bending down. Particularly, I live in this pair by Madewell. They're the perfect wash and elongate my frame!

Style tip: I usually wear ankle strap pump heels with them for an elevated look!

J.Crew Factory

J.Crew Factory Wide-Leg Crop Jean

I don't wear cropped jeans often, but J. Crew encouraged me to take a risk with this pair. The waist area reminds me of Madewell's Superwide-Leg design, but distressed hem makes them look less stuffy. I've purchased ankle jeans before and the fit was terrible so I was pleasantly surprised at how great these look on me!

Express

Express High Waisted Light Wash Jeans

These light wash jeans are also cropped, but the hem is more straight-forward than J. Crew's version. I usually wear this pair when my household has doctor's or dentist's appointments because they have an air of comfortability about them. When you're on the go, it's important to be able to move around when you need to!

Banana Republic Factory

Banana Republic Factory Mid-Rise Straighter Carpenter Jeans (Petite)

The first thing that drew me to these jeans are their Ecru color. The second is how well they fit when I tried them on in-store. Lengthwise, they stop slightly below my ankles which is good when I actually want to show off my shoes. Sometimes I don't want to go for the oversized wide-leg look so these are always a good alternative for me.

Pistola

Pistola Petite Lana High Rise Wide Leg Jeans

It's true — I'm preoccupied with this style of jeans. Aside from Madewell, Pistola has the best feeling denim I've had the pleasure of wearing. This pair specifically doesn't feel stiff, but they don't get wrinkled either! Also, the hem doesn't drag the ground which is a nice change from the pairs I own that do this.

Good American

Good American Petite Skate Jeans

Here's the thing — skate jeans were popular when I was in middle school. A few of my former friends used to wear them with Vans so I'll always have a soft spot for them. The only thing I don't recommend doing is wearing them on rainy days because that wet feeling on your ankles feels weird.

Ann Taylor

Ann Taylor Petite Cuffed Palazzo Jean

I never knew the words "cuffed" and "palazzo" could fit in the same sentence, but Ann Taylor's made me a believer. These jeans take business casual to the next level because of their darker wash and overall fit. They're not too "skinny" or "wide," giving you the perfect invitation to wear a slightly oversized blazer with them. At least that's what I do.

Talbots

Talbots Everyday Relaxed Jeans (Plus-Sized Petite)

I'm not necessarily plus-sized but I added these relaxed jeans because one of my friends can't stop raving about them! She doesn't necessarily love the wide-leg look so having something that fits her frame and is easy to style works with however she feels like dressing on any given day.

Citizens of Humanity

Citizens of Humanity Petite Micro Relaxed Jeans

Are they relaxed or barrel jeans? It truly depends on how you want to classify them. According to Citizens of Humanity, they're the petite jeans everyone needs in their closet. Okay, I'm imagining that was the general consensus when they were designed.

Anthropologie

Pilcro Kenna Mid-Rise Barrel Jeans

These are definitely barrel jeans and I love them! I tried a pair from a different brand last year and couldn't stand the way they looked on me, but Pilcro gets it right! The wash also has a very earthy tone to it, making it a good complement to brown, taupe, and cream tones!

Reiss

Reiss Petite Skinny Jeans

Did you think I'd really leave skinny jeans off this list? I'm appalled! Jokes aside, I'm not against wearing them and found that I have specific requirements for the leg huggers. They have to look streamlined and can't make me feel like I have to peel them off my skin so I can breathe. It just so happens this pair understands the assignment.

L'AGENCE

L'AGENCE Leighton Cropped Stovepipe Jeans

What has cute red seams with a cuffed and cropped hem? L'AGENCE's pair of stovepipe jeans. They make me feel like I'm reliving the pair Olivia Newton-John wore in the original Grease so I try to slip into them when I'm feeling a little edgy.

P.S. Do you see the the slightly curved waistline??

8 "Adventurous" Zodiac Signs Most Likely to Be World Travelers

Traveling has the power to open our minds and transform the way we view the world. From experiencing different cultures and traditions to meeting new people from other walks of life, every trip you take offers an opportunity to broaden your perspective.

Now, people can have different driving forces behind their wanderlust, whether it's wanting to connect with others or simply enjoying the thrill of adventure. Even so, the zodiac might play a role in shaping our travel tendencies.

Certain signs are naturally more curious and love to explore new horizons. That's why there are eight zodiac signs most likely to be world travelers.

Scroll to see which zodiac signs are most likely to travel!

Brit + Co

1. Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

There's no doubt that Sagittarians are the ultimate world travelers. They're free spirits with an insatiable curiosity and a constant desire to go beyond their familiar surroundings.

Since this sign is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of growth, it makes sense why Sagittarians thrive when they're experiencing new things. Travel isn't just about the destination for them, either. They truly enjoy the journey and love diving into the unknown.

Brit + Co

2. Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Another travel-hungry zodiac sign is Gemini. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of intellectual pursuits, Geminis are curious, appreciate variety, and are constantly on the lookout for new experiences.

Travel affords them the perfect opportunity to learn about fresh ideas. Plus, this sign is flexible and adaptable, meaning Geminis can easily immerse themselves in different environments.

Brit + Co

3. Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Aquarians are known for having progressive mindsets and a deep desire to explore new ways of thinking. So, this sign tends to be drawn to destinations that challenge their point of view.

As an air sign, Aquarians also adore connection and will often seek out meaningful interactions with locals while traveling. They like to learn and find inspiration in unique corners of the world that others may overlook.

Brit + Co

4. Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Pisces are fueled by their imagination and emotional depth, so they seek out destinations that nurture their creativity and offer a sense of peace.

For this sign, which takes a more spiritual approach, travel is a way to escape the mundane to recharge and dream. Whether they opt to visit a quiet coastline or a remote forest, Pisces are inspired by nature and reflection.

Brit + Co

5. Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Aries view traveling in a much different light. Because they're ruled by Mars, they relish excitement and action, like thrill-seekers.

This sign loves trips that get their energy pumping and gives them an adrenaline rush, ranging from skydiving and cliff-jumping to mountain climbing. Aries are independent and spontaneous and appreciate adventures that push them both mentally and physically.

Brit + Co

6. Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Next up is Cancer, a water sign that takes a more sentimental approach to traveling. They like familiarity and forging deep emotional connections, so they are drawn to destinations that hold some form of personal significance.

Cancers prefer to bond as opposed to explore, whether that's by visiting extended family or learning more about their heritage roots.

Brit + Co

7. Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Leos, who love to live their lives in the spotlight, are a different story. They're all about luxury, which extends to their travel style.

This sign looks for places that match their high energy, like cities or high-end resorts. Since Leos have an eye for glamour, their trips usually revolve around fashion, art, or overall indulgence.

So, one thing is certain: going on a vacation with a Leo will be anything but boring.

Brit + Co

8. Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Finally, despite Capricorns being known for their ambitious nature, they enjoy traveling (when it works alongside their drive for success).

This sign prefers to visit destinations that are steeped in culture or history as a way to enhance their personal and professional lives. Capricorns also value a balance of leisure and productivity, so they may create itineraries to get the most out of their time away from home.

Meghan Markle’s “Controversial” Netflix Show Just Got Renewed For Season 2

Love it or hate it, Meghan Markle's With Love, Meghan series has been renewed for Season 2. It's the talk of the internet with fans and critics alike chiming in with their opinions about seeing her embrace a "soft girl" era. But before we dive into what people have been saying about the new Netflix show, we're dishing out what's to come once everyone gets their season 1 fix.

P.s. We're also dishing about her controversial name change 👀.

Keep scrolling to learn about Season 2 of With Love, Meghan — and what you might've missed during Season 1!

Is 'With Love, Meghan' really renewed for Season 2?

Jenna Peffley/Netflix

This is not a drill. With Love, Meghan has been greenlit for Season 2 at Netflix with the media giant confirming the news themselves. The host of the show also shared the huge news on Instagram just mere hours ago.

Her caption reads: "Oh, how I love ASMR! If you’re loving Season 1, just wait until you see the fun we cooked up on Season 2! Thanks for joining the party, and an endless thanks to the amazing team and crew who helped bring it all to life! @netflix."

Has a release date been shared?

The news is still fresh so we'll have to wait longer to see when Meghan will be back with more feel-good tips about how to romanticize your life.

Who's made an appearance on 'With Love, Meghan' Season 1?

Courtesy of Netflix

Guests like Mindy Kaling, Daniel Martin, Abigail Spencer, and Alice Waters have appeared on the show. From engaging in fun conversations to making memorable recipes together, Meghan and her guests seemed like they enjoying each other's company.

What's up with Meghan's name change?

Justin Coit/Netflix

During a segment where Meghan and Mindy Kaling were talking, the latter appeared "shocked" when something she said was corrected. She kept calling Meghan by her former name to which the latter said, "It's so funny, too, that you keep saying, 'Meghan Markle.' You know, I'm Sussex now."

As reported by E! News, Mindy hasn't thought twice about the moment. "You know, I had a great time...We were making sandwiches and then they’ll push in on my face on TikTok and they’ll be like, ‘Look at this emotion you felt,'" she said during an appearance on The View. She added, "...and I honestly didn’t even remember it because we shot it like nine months ago."

How do people feel about 'With Love, Meghan?'

Courtesy of Netflix

Some people are thrilled about With Love, Meghan while others feel the Sussex isn't relatable. A Screen Rant article begins by saying, "...the series comes across as a wealthy socialite playing house, while the world is forced to stand by and watch how the other half lives."

However, Glamour thinks otherwise. "What’s not to love about the Montecito landscape, or the ASMR-inducing scene when Markle and her beekeeper are filmed double-straining their freshly harvested golden honey dripping indulgently down into a bowl, or the soothing sounds of Markle’s voice as she walks you through her favorite ways to make a houseguest feel spoiled and special."

No matter where you stand, Meghan's not giving up on sharing recipes and what she considers to be fun conversations.
