5 Of The Best Mediterranean Meal Delivery Services Of 2024 Packed With Whole Foods & Healthy Fats

You won't have a curated Mediterranean diet menu, but Blue Apron's Wellness plan follows similar basics: whole ingredients and healthy fats. These nutritionist-approved recipes feature sustainably sourced seafood, non-GMO produce, and antibiotic- and hormone-free meats available in up to four servings per meal.

Example meals: 

Sustainability & quality: Blue Apron hit its goal for carbon neutrality in March 2022, making the brand one of the more sustainable choices. Along with following an animal welfare policy, the meal delivery service is on a mission to make all packaging either compostable, reusable, or recyclable by the end of 2025.

Pros

Cons

This meal plan is not Mediterranean diet-specific, so you may need to give the recipes a little extra vetting to ensure they fit your desired eating pattern. Typically, the recipes offer a balance of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates with a mix of vegetarian, meat, and seafood options. (All example meals came directly from the Balanced Living meal plan.)

Example meals: 

Sustainability & quality: Green Chef was the first meal delivery service to go carbon-emission-neutral and sets the precedent for making the process more sustainable than the typical grocery supply chain. Along with selecting completely organic ingredients, the brand partners with sustainability organizations to ensure it lives up to the "green" in its name.

Pros

Cons

Unlike other brands, Purple Carrot doesn't charge a delivery fee, but its offerings are pricier. Save money by opting for larger serving sizes (up to four per kit) and more deliveries—with recipes this delicious, you won't mind having leftovers. Plus, it offers both prepared options and meal kits.

Example meals: 

Sustainability & quality: Purple Carrot prioritizes organic ingredients when possible but doesn't promise a fully organic meal, instead focusing on quality and seasonal availability. It also works with the Farmlink project, which connects farmers to food banks to prevent food waste. Plus, recycling is easy thanks to the brand's in-depth onsite guide.

Pros

Cons

Additional filters allow you to search for family-friendly, pescatarian, vegetarian, or quick-and-easy meals from the weekly catalog of more than 30 recipes. Bonus: Servings are super affordably priced.

Example meals: 

Sustainability & quality: HelloFresh visits every supplier facility to ensure it's up to standards, although it doesn't focus on organic ingredients. Its biggest sustainability standout is creating a team specifically to reduce packaging waste by testing new materials and new products to work toward less waste.

Pros

Cons

Get even more specific with options to skip soy, dairy, shellfish, and more to ensure the final food selection best suits your body's needs. You'll also have the choice of ready-to-eat meals or meal kits—although we prefer the latter for more control over your menu. Just be sure to look for the "speedy" options in the recipe description if your weekdays tend to run low on time.

Example meals: 

Sustainability & quality: Almost all produce is organic with rare exceptions, earning Sunbasket high marks for quality ingredients. A majority of packaging is also recyclable or compostable with the brand actively working toward 100%.
