When I d hear people rave about meal kits, I assumed the hype was overblown and that they weren t worth the cost. As a vegetarian, I also figured meal delivery services wouldn t cater to my diet, so I never bothered trying them.
However, once I started testing vegan meal kits for CNET, one service in particular made me realize I was wrong. It's the one I'd spend my own money on. That's why Blue Apron, which doesn't require a subscription, is CNET's favorite meal kit service. This is why it's my top pick.
Earlier this year, I tried four vegetarian meal kits from Blue Apron, which are as low as $8 per serving. All of them were delicious: roasted cauliflower and farro salad, white bean and veggie grain bowls, loaded veggie burritos and Thai-style curry noodles. I even saved the recipe cards and have re-created the farro salad and grain bowls on my own.
