9. Daily Harvest

Key Features:

• Cost: Items range from $5.99 - $11.99
• What You Get: 9, 14, or 24 items
• Available Meal Types: Smoothies, Flatbreads, Harvest Bowls, Grains, Soups, Forager Bowls, Bites, Lattes, and Mylk

Editor's Note: Readers continue to rate this service highly, but in 2022, hundreds of subscribers became ill because of the tara flour ingredient in their French Lentil + Leek Crumbles product. Daily Harvest maintains that the crumbles were the first and only one of their products to feature tara flour, and insists that their other 140+ offerings were not affected. However, customers thought that the brand should have been more forthcoming about the situation as it was unfolding (see our story here).

Daily Harvest offers healthy, pre-portioned plant-based meals and drinks. You can choose from a wide variety of options including smoothies, bowls, flatbreads, soups, and more. In fact, it has by far the most options for any plant-based meal subscription service we've seen. You can order a small, medium, or large box, and then choose any meals to throw in. All of Daily Harvest's meals can be prepared in minutes and their products never contain gluten, dairy, preservatives, fillers, or artificial ingredients.
