Healthy, organic meals

Sunbasket has made a name for itself by focusing on healthy and organic meal kits. If you're into a no-meat or no-dairy approach, there are also options for vegans and vegetarians. As an exciting bonus, Sunbasket goes beyond just meal kits; it now has a handy online marketplace where you can add grocery items like fresh meat, fish, seafood, cheese, coffee, and snacks to your weekly box.

Meals arrive fresh and crisp

With approximately 99% USDA-certified organic produce, you can count on your items arriving fresh and crisp. Plus, Sunbasket makes it easy for you to access all the nutritional information you need when making selections and during delivery. So whether you're looking for gluten-free or another diet style, you'll get a complete meal experience from Sunbasket.

Gluten free added to any meal design

Sunbasket stands out because you can get gluten-free alternatives added to any of their meals. The mix'n-match style of meal design makes it easy to pick and choose what kind of meal features you want in your boxes. When it's time to pick out your delivery boxes, there are two ways to get meals from Sunbasket - the basic Fresh and ready plan, or the traditional Meal Kit.

Basic plan: Fresh and Ready

The cheaper meal plan is "Fresh and Ready" which includes meals that are prepared in advance and don't require any cooking. These meals start at $9.99 per serving, and you can choose from 4 to 10 meals each week. Even though these meals are usually meant for one person, you can add extra meals or double up for yourself. To prepare them, you need to heat them up in your oven or microwave, and then you're ready for mealtime. Depending on the number of servings you pick, the weekly cost ranges from $39.65 to $99.99.

Gluten free Fresh and Ready meals

The Fresh and Ready section has a variety of gluten-free-friendly meal options. Some example meals that support a gluten-free diet include:

• Quinoa penne with spicy arrabbiata, Italian sausage, and bell peppers
• Spinach saag paneer with basmati rice
• Beef donburi rice bowl with edamame and kimchi-lime vegetables

Top tier plan: Meal Kit

If you prefer a more hands-on approach to your cooking, the regular Meal Kit from Sunbasket is the way to go. These kits ship you all the necessary ingredients for crafting your own gluten-free gourmet meals. The prep time takes between 15 to 40 minutes depending on the recipe, and the prices start at $11.49 per serving. What makes this selection unique is that you can mix'n-match your meals. For example, you can choose gluten-free foods or vegetarian extras without any extra cost. Another notable change from the "Fresh and Ready" style is that the shipments of the Meal Kits are designed for 2-4 people, and include up to 5 meals per week. So, when you calculate the cost per serving, a Sunbasket Meal Kit ranges from $45.96 per week for a 2-person 2-meal kit to $229.80 per week for a 4-person 5-meal kit.

Gluten free Meal Kit options

Here are some of the gluten-free meals you can expect from Sunbasket's Meal Kits:

• Roast pork chops with delicata squash and pear-date chutney
• Braised chicken with mushrooms and artichokes and almond-olive relish
• Thai-style spicy yuba noodle soup with potatoes and bell pepper

100% mouthwatering guarantee

Standing out from the pack, Sunbasket provides a 100% Mouthwatering Guarantee. Whereas most companies in our review have no (or a minimal) refund policy, Sunbasket goes the extra mile so that you'll be pleased with their Meal Delivery services. If you're not satisfied, Sunbasket is committed to resolving it. All you need to do is contact their Help Center within 7 days of your delivery. Additionally, the Sunbasket subscription promises no long-term commitment. Your kits and meals come every week, but you can skip a week or cancel whenever you want. Even if you're away from home, Sunbasket has you covered and can deliver to your vacation spot too.

Reviewers love the all-in-one approach of Sunbasket

Sunbaksst has earned a "B-" rating from the Better Business Bureau, which isn't as impressive as some of the "A+” ratings we've seen from Meal Delivery rivals on our list. However, customer reviews on Trustpilot paint a more comprehensive picture. These show that Sunbasket has an impressive 4.6-star average from thousands of reviews. Food and fitness blogs have also awarded Sunbasket with numerous 5-star ratings, praising everything from quality ingredients to delicious flavors.

Recipes and snacks are a hit

Customers love the straightforward recipes in the kits and note that the Fresh and Ready meals taste incredible. Subscribers also appreciate the a la carte market, where you can add extras to your meals or grab some snacks if you're in the mood. And all of these delicious items are yours without ever having to venture out to the grocery store.

First place pick for gluten-free meal flexibility

If you're looking for the ultimate one-stop-shop for meal delivery, Sunbasket is the one. This service stands out by allowing you to choose what fits your lifestyle best. With various diet options, including Gluten Free, Sunbasket allows you to mix'n-match all of their meal types and filter out the meals you can't have on your particular diet. The pricing is competitive, especially for those choosing up to 10 meals per week, which offers a single person 1 meal per day plus a few lunches. Whether you want to cook your own meals or have a quick and easy solution for gluten-free breakfasts, lunches, or dinners, Sunbasket offers a meal style that suits your lifestyle. This places it at the top among the companies we reviewed, supported by customer reviews praising the tasty flavors and easy preparation. Unsurprisingly, Sunbasket receives a 5-star rating and the first-place spot on our list.
