Meal kit delivery services<\/a> have plenty of benefits: They can be a great way to prepare fun and flavorful meals without having to sprint to the grocery store each week. But when it comes to specific dietary restrictions like a gluten-free diet \u2014 which limits the intake of wheat, barley and several other grains \u2014 it can be hard to pinpoint ones that fit your needs. Fortunately, many meal kits and pre-made meal delivery services<\/a> offer gluten-free menu items and plans for tasty, creative and easy-to-prepare meals when you\u2019re in a rush.<\/p>\n

To determine the best meal delivery services with gluten-free options or entirely gluten-free menus, I spoke to nutritionists and dietitians about the best services to try out and highlighted each individual service\u2019s pricing, delivery frequency and meal options.<\/p>\n

Best gluten-free meal delivery services<\/a><\/p>\n

I spoke to experts about their favorite meal delivery services that either provide gluten-free options or have an entirely gluten-free menu. I highlighted their specific recommendations below \u2014 all of which offer pre-made meals or a combination of meal kits and ready-made items \u2014 and noted their costs, serving sizes, and the number of meals they deliver per week.<\/p>\n

Best overall<\/a>\"Sunbasket\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunbasket offers both ingredient-based meal kits and pre-made meals, all of which the brand says consist of high-quality ingredients and organic produce. One of Sunbasket\u2019s 10 available meal plans is the Gluten-Free Friendly<\/a> meal plan, which has five to eight gluten-free options each week. NBC Selected reporter Zoe Malin<\/a>, who follows a pescatarian and gluten-free diet, tried Sunbasket for a week<\/a> and loved the service\u2019s variety of meals and delicious pre-made options. \u201cThe particular recipes I chose forced me to use ingredients that aren\u2019t in my regular rotation, like turmeric and artichoke dip, and make foods that aren\u2019t typically top of mind for me, like potato salad,\u201d says Malin. <\/p>\n

Both Ariane Resnick<\/a>, a special diet chef and certified nutritionist, and Lisa Moskovitz, CEO of NY Nutrition Group<\/a>, say Sunbasket is their top choice for healthy meal kit deliveries. \u201cIt has a variety of options that can be modified for carnivores and strictly plant-based eaters alike,\u201d says Moskovitz. <\/p>\n

The Fresh & Ready option, which comes with single-serve meals you can heat in the oven or microwave in just a few minutes, also has several gluten-free options to choose from. If you don\u2019t feel like committing to a single plan, the service lets you mix and match with over a dozen meals from its weekly rotating menu.<\/p>\n

Splendid Spoon has over 50 healthy, ready-made meals and snacks that include smoothies, soups, noodle bowls and larger dishes\u2014 and everything is gluten-free. You can select a box size of seven, 14 or 21 meals and choose your meals for the week. Your cart will automatically fill with Splendid Spoon\u2019s bestsellers, or you can manually swap in your favorites.<\/p>\n

Resnick recommends the service for anyone who wants healthy meals in a flash. \u201cThey taste as healthy as they are, which is a downside for some and a bonus for others.\u201d she says. The large selection of juices and smoothies and the convenience of thawing one at a time is also a big plus, says Resnick.<\/p>\n

Purple Carrot offers both prepared meals and meal kits, so you can choose the level of effort that you want to put into your meals. The meals are all fully plant-based, and Purple Carrot provides several gluten-free recipes<\/a> to choose from, as well as gluten-free pre-prepared meals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meal kits are a wonderful blend of familiar and innovative \u2014 think kimchi grilled cheese and Baklava overnight oats,\u201d says Resnick. And because the meals are fully plant-based, Purple Carrot can be an easy way for people to \u201cadd more plant foods into their diets without having to fully convert to veganism,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

You can customize the number of dinners you get per week, which range from two to four meal kits and six to 10 pre-made meals. Deliveries take place on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays depending on your shipping location, and you can choose to skip a delivery on any given week.<\/p>\n

Epicured allows you to choose from a rotating menu of over 50 pre-made meals spanning breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and desserts. All Epicured meals are entirely gluten-free and low-FODMAP, which means they don\u2019t feature certain carbohydrates and food additives that can be hard for some people to digest.\u00a0\u201cThey\u2019re a great option for those with SIBO, IBS or a generally sensitive tummy,\u201d says Moskovitz.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to choose individual meals, Epicured also offers several pre-selected programs, including an omnivore<\/a>, pescetarian<\/a> and vegetarian<\/a> program, that helps you ease into a low-FODMAP diet, according to the brand.<\/p>\n

Once you select your meals and register, each weekly order is automatically renewed \u2014 if you don\u2019t manually pick your meals, orders are locked in on Friday afternoons with the same meals you previously selected.<\/p>\n

Cookunity offers chef-prepared meals with a wide range of gluten-free options for you to enjoy at home, with subscriptions ranging from four to 16 meals per week, Resnick says this service is one of her favorites: \u201cI appreciate that they provide full ingredient lists, down to the individual ingredients in cheeses.\u201d Former NBC Selected social commerce editor Sadhana Daruvuri also enjoys it because she can get a variety of delicious meals while still spending about the same amount she\u2019d spent on groceries, she says.<\/p>\n

You can also filter meals by other dietary restrictions, like dairy-free, high protein, vegan, vegetarian and more.<\/p>\n

You can choose to do a one-week trial program if you\u2019re just getting started, or you can select a recurring subscription program that automatically renews each week with a set menu of meals that rotates weekly and seasonally. Sakara Life also lets you choose the number of days you want to receive meals (three or five days) as well as which type of meals you would like to receive (breakfast, lunch and\/or dinner).<\/p>\n

Hungryroot, which is more of a grocery delivery service<\/a> with a lot of the same benefits and customizations as other meal kits on this list, offers several gluten-free items to choose from. When you take the initial quiz about your preferences and dietary needs, Hungryroot creates a personalized grocery plan to meet those needs. In addition to delivering fresh food for the week, it also sends you specific recipes based on the groceries in your order, and you can edit your delivery every week in case you want a specific ingredient or food item.<\/p>\n

With the ability to choose the type of meal you want and customize the groceries you get, Hungryroot \u201callows you to be a bit more adventurous and cook from the hip, or also follow the recipes exactly,\u201d says Ben Leonard, chef and culinary manager for GreenPan cookware.<\/p>\n

How I picked the best gluten-free meal delivery services<\/a><\/p>\n

I spoke to experts about important features to consider when shopping for gluten-free meal delivery services. Here are the most important ones they suggest keeping in mind:<\/p>\n

Dietary restrictions: If you\u2019re gluten-free or follow any other restrictions, such as a vegan or vegetarian diet<\/a>, look for meal services that offer a variety of options to fit your dietary needs.Serving size: How many people are you looking to feed that follow a gluten-free diet? If you\u2019re only feeding yourself, it\u2019s likely best to select a single-serve prepared meal. But if you\u2019re also feeding a gluten-free family or partner, browse customizable plans with multiple serving sizes (typically ranging from two to eight servings).Customizability: Having a sensitivity or intolerance to gluten, or choosing to follow a gluten-free diet for other personal or health-related reasons, doesn\u2019t mean you have to constantly eat the same meals. Look for services that provide a weekly rotating menu with several gluten-free options that serve you and your needs.Pricing: The price of gluten-free meal delivery services are based on the quality of meals and ingredients, the frequency of your deliveries, how many people you\u2019re cooking for and the specific meal plan. However, seeking gluten-free meals shouldn\u2019t mean paying more for your meal plan. While not all services on the market cater to every dietary restriction or need, I\u2019ve selected services that don\u2019t increase the price for gluten-free restrictions.Delivery dates and times: Most services will offer customizable plans to choose which days (and sometimes times) you want to receive your kit, so consider when you\u2019re available to receive your meals to ensure they don\u2019t go to waste. Most will also let you pause plans or skip weeks as needed, which allows you to be more flexible with these services.Meet our culinary experts<\/a><\/p>\n
