These days everyone’s on the move. Running from work, school, and every activity in between means less time to prep and cook healthy, delicious meals.

Luckily, thanks to meal delivery and meal kit services, no matter how busy you are, you can still live a healthy grab-and-go life.

Convenience is king. Having ready-to-heat, healthy meals delivered to your door means more time to get things done, but it can be hard to know which service is best for you.

Our editors did some research and decided to try the three brands everyone is talking about- Daily Harvest, Revive, and Splendid Spoon.

Here are all the details:

Splendid Spoon:

Splendid Spoon is super convenient. Their smoothies arrive ready-to-drink, so you can pull one out and take it wherever you’re headed. Their soups and grain bowls require just a few minutes in the microwave, so no need to block off a ton of kitchen time. All recipes are low in sugar, all vegan, and GMO-free. Splendid Spoon offers 50+ plant-based meal options each week, including smoothies, soups, grain bowls, noodle dishes, and wellness shots, so you’ll never get bored.

In terms of taste, we were pleasantly surprised by how tasty and filling all of Splendid Spoon‘s recipes are. The ingredients they use are super impressive – superfood after superfood such as acai (strengthens immunity and boosts energy), Spirulina (jump-starts endurance), and baobab (great for your skin!) and tons of other natural all-star ingredients that help you feel your best. There are also lemon and ginger Wellness Shots for an extra immunity boost.

Regarding value, Splendid Spoon is super affordable. Depending on how many meals you receive each week it can cost about $10 a serving. Considering the vast amount of ingredients and nutrients you’re getting, it’s a really fine deal. Plus, we found using Splendid Spoon saves us money – we spend way less on our weekly grocery store run.

Overall, Splendid Spoon is not only good for you, but they taste delicious and the convenience is undeniable. We can’t get enough of the Mint Chip Smoothie – tastes like a healthy milkshake!

Daily Harvest:

Daily Harvest’s soups and smoothies arrive frozen and simply need to be blended or warmed up. They use an impressive range of superfood ingredients that help with immunity, digestion, and sleep. They have over 60 recipes to choose from each week – we love that!

Let’s talk price – Daily Harvest smoothies come in at the $9 mark each also but they’re half the size of Splendid Spoon smoothies, so aren’t quite as filling. We found ourselves getting hungry between meals.

We really enjoyed all of the DH smoothies and bowls we tried. There are lots of delicious cuisines to sample. Our favorite by far is the Mint + Cacao Smoothie – so good!

Overall, we like Daily Harvest. The prep time isn’t bad, the meals are delicious and we love that it comes right to our doorstep.

Revive:

Just like the other two, Revive is all about those superfood ingredients, which we all need right now. They deliver nutrient-dense soups, smoothies, and oats to your door each week. Everything arrives frozen, so no worries about its shelf life. Like Daily Harvest, the smoothies require blending, which takes a couple of minutes – and you have to clean up after! Their ingredients list is equally as impressive as Splendid Spoon and Daily Harvest – ginger, coconut oil, turmeric, to name a few.

Price-wise, their meals start at $8.50 for a 7oz serving -a great deal. But again, that’s half the size of Splendid Spoon.

All of the Revive Smoothies and soups we tried tasted fine – they have lots of smoothie flavors to choose from, and we could taste the variety of ingredients. But they only have 4 Super Meal options, so we kinda get bored pretty fast, except for that yummy Buddhacado Bowl. Packed full of avocado and chickpeas – so filling.

Overall Winner: Splendid Spoon

Having nourishing meals delivered right to our door is awesome, so we enjoyed our experience with all three brands. Having said that, the winner in our eyes is Splendid Spoon. Their meals are super flavorful and healthy and leave you feeling full and energized. But the main thing is, Splendid Spoon is by far the most convenient. Goodbye, meal prep and clean-up!

Splendid Spoon‘s delicious smoothies make mornings easy-peasy. Even better, their grain bowls and soups involve zero prep – simply pop them in the microwave. Plus, their plans are the most affordable, starting at close to $10 per meal. By far the best value for money out of the three considering Splendid Spoon’s generous portions are the biggest.

The subscription couldn’t be more convenient, delivering tasty, ready-to-eat meals at your doorstep. Plus, it’s super flexible and you can pause or skip at any time.
