Everyone's beyond busy these days, so for a lot of people, preparing meals isn't an option.
Luckily, thanks to meal delivery services, no matter how overloaded you are, you can still live a healthy life.
Convenience is king. This is why the meal delivery services industry is booming. Our editors have tried 3 of the top dogs: Splendid Spoon, Daily Harvest, and Frozen Garden. We analyzed their plans, and there's a clear winner.
Here's how these 3 meal delivery services compare:
Convenience
Winner: Splendid Spoon
Splendid Spoon is the most convenient by far. Their Smoothies arrive ready-to-drink, and their soups and grain bowls just require a few minutes in the microwave. Whereas, Daily Harvest's meals must be blended and can take up to 5 minutes to prepare. The same goes for Frozen Garden.
Most Filling
Winner: Splendid Spoon
We noticed that Splendid Spoon definitely kept us fuller longer than Daily Harvest or Frozen Garden. This is probably due to their larger portions – Splendid Spoon's bowls are 12oz, and their smoothies are 16 oz.
Daily Harvest's bowls and smoothies are just 8 oz each, and Frozen Garden's smoothies are a tad over 7oz. Plus, Splendid Spoon's meals all pre-portioned to the perfect amount, so you never have to worry about overeating - it can help you lose weight without even trying.
Ingredients
Winner: Splendid Spoon
All 3 include healthy ingredients, but Splendid Spoon encompasses the widest range of superfoods.
Their smoothies feature ingredients such as acai (strengthens immunity and boosts energy), spirulina (jumpstarts endurance), and baobab (great for your skin!). Plus, Splendid Spoon's smoothies are low in sugar, all vegan, and GMO-free.

Variety Of Flavors
Winner: Daily Harvest
Daily Harvest has quite an array of different meals, with 60+ available recipes. Splendid Spoon comes in a close second with 40+ meals to choose from.
Frozen Garden only has 9 smoothies, but what makes them unique is they're all green. So, if that's what you're into, Frozen Garden is for you.
Taste
Winner: Splendid Spoon
Out of the 3, we found Splendid Spoon's smoothies the tastiest. Although Daily Harvest's flavors are nice, their smoothies are a little on the thin side.
Same goes for Frozen Garden. Splendid Spoon really has mastered the balance between texture and taste. Daily Harvest's bowls are delicious, but our favorite-favorite meals are Splendid Spoon's Kabocha Congee and their Mexican Tomato Bowl. Mmm.
Overall Winner: Splendid Spoon
The clear champion is Splendid Spoon because their meals are super flavorful and leave you feeling full and energized. But the main thing is Splendid Spoon is the most convenient.
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.
If, like us, you don't even have time to grab toast on your way out the door in the morning, then Splendid Spoon is for you.
You can take the meals to work with you, and you never have to worry about them running out because the subscription means they get delivered right to your door.
