Stop Counting Macros: These Keto Meal Delivery Services Will Do It For You

Regardless of your dietary preferences, Green Chef’s robust collection of recipes is ready to make healthy eating a breeze. The USDA-certified organic company accounts for a variety of dietary needs each week and offers about 10 meals under its Keto + Paleo section. Also gluten-free, the recipes take less than 30 minutes to prepare and include offerings like a Cajun shrimp stir-fry or spiced beef and cauliflower rice. 

While plenty of meal kits offer a keto selection, Green Chef stands out for its 6-serving portion options. This ensures you have leftovers of your favorite dishes or can feed a large family. Plus, new recipes drop each week, so you’ll never get meal fatigue. 

Sustainability & Quality: Green Chef’s commitment to organic food, recyclable packaging, and offsetting carbon emissions makes it one of the most sustainable meal kits options. And it’s not just for show—the brand also partners with sustainability organizations to ensure it’s really pursuing the greenest options.

Dietitians and chefs work together to develop Factor’s keto-friendly recipes—and the result is meals that are equally delicious and nutritious. Delivered fresh to your door, the premade fare can be popped into the microwave or oven for a speedy reheat. Each week you’ll have the choice of at least 10 keto-friendly recipes, like the top-rated loaded bacon and shredded Brussels sprout chicken. 

Deliveries start as small as four prepackaged meals but can be increased up to 18 servings. Each meal lasts up to a week in the fridge but can also be frozen, although the brand recommends sticking to fresh when possible. 

Sustainability & Quality: You won’t have to worry about refined sugars, antibiotics, or GMOS when ordering from Factor. Committed to sustainable farming practices, the company also follows a zero-tolerance stance against animal abuse. Additionally, most of the packaging is recyclable beyond the plastic film on the food trays—just be sure to give any dirty BPA-free food containers a rinse.

Prepare for your pots and pans to feel neglected; Fresh n’ Lean delivers premade entrées to your door every Friday with enough meals to cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the week. The ready-to-eat meals heat up in less than three minutes and take all the stress out of sticking to your macros with a loose breakdown of 32 grams of fat, 30 grams of protein, and 10 grams of carbohydrates. 

You don’t get much choice in the chef-curated menu, but you do have the option to select up to three foods to avoid in your plan. As a result, your entrées may repeat during the week, but some meals you won’t mind eating again, like the cheesy bacon chicken or Mediterranean salmon. 

Sustainability & Quality: The BPA-free plastic trays, cardboard boxes, and plastic seals are all recyclable, so the only thing you’ll need to repurpose are the ice gel packs. It’s a small price to pay for a whole foods-based meal that’s made from scratch, fully organic, and gluten-free.

Regardless of your dietary preferences, every meal created by Snap Kitchen is gluten-free. Each week the brand drops about four keto-friendly recipes with less than 30 grams of carbohydrates. While the selection is limited, the portion-controlled options won’t disappoint with recipes like a buffalo ranch burger with loaded roasted cauliflower. 

Chef-prepared and delivered to your door, every entrée is designed for ease with the option to pop in the microwave for two minutes or in the oven for 15. Just be aware that meals come in subscriptions of six or 12, so you’ll likely be repeating at least one option. 

Sustainability & Quality: Remove the labels and rinse the BPA-free plastic trays before tossing them into the recycling bin along with the shipping box. You’ll have to reuse the included ice packs or pour the thawed, non-toxic gel into the waste bin. 

Snap Kitchen uses organic ingredients when possible, but it’s not the brand’s top priority. It focuses more on locally sourced ingredients that follow sustainable methods to maximize quality.

Subscriptions can be a huge deterrent for many wanting to test out a meal delivery service—but Territory Foods won’t require that level of commitment up front. In fact, the entire company is pretty unique. Rather than operating out of a single kitchen, the brand’s dietitians work with local chefs, small businesses, and restaurateurs to follow set recipes. In the case of the keto menu, that means meals with less than 15 grams of carbohydrates. 

Best described as keto-friendly, these recipes may require a bit of doctoring to reach the ideal macro ratios—but an onsite nutrition breakdown shows how most recipes are pretty darn close. Plus, each day introduces a new rotation of whole foods-based recipes. 

Sustainability & Quality: Every entrée skips dairy, refined sugar, and gluten, but the kitchens are not certified allergen-free. A phenomenal way to support local—with a majority of profit staying in your own neighborhood—Territory Foods also offsets carbon emissions and aims to help chefs source local and organic ingredients. Plus, all packaging is recyclable and compostable.

A true keto meal delivery service, 518 Kitchen only crafts recipes that follow a strict keto breakdown. The robust menu contains more than 40 items including entrées, snacks, sides, and extra proteins. From a keto chicken pot pie to herbed focaccia, these frozen goodies will impress keto newbies and long-time fiends alike. Plus, there are even cream-cheese based keto bombs for an afternoon pick-me-up or dessert. 

Score free shipping when you select up to $150 of products—an easy feat when everything is gluten-free and developed with quality ingredients in mind. For example, all beef is grass-fed, pork is pasture-raised, chicken is antibiotic-free, and eggs are cage-free. 

Sustainability & Quality: While you’ll have to toss the plastic lining used for any pre-made meals, the plastic tray, cardboard packaging, and cooler liner can all be recycled. 

Price: From $9 per item

Developed with weight loss in mind, Trifecta Kitchen curates an entire week of portioned high-fat, low-carb meals with every plan. The vacuum-sealed entrées are delivered fresh to your door every Friday, and the meals last for up to 10 days in the fridge or three months in the freezer. Bonus: Shipping is free to all 50 states. 

While picky eaters may not love the preset meal plan, it’s a great option for anyone who wants to put minimal effort into their diet. Plus, the brand accounts for up to two dietary preferences or allergens when curating your plan. 

Sustainability & Quality: USDA-certified organic, Trifecta Kitchen also promotes humanely-raised proteins in its offerings. Currently, packing is about 98% compostable but the company is on a mission to reach 100% by 2023.

Whether you’re allergic to gluten, peanuts, or soy, the Good Kitchen has you covered. The production team follows strict guidelines to ensure there’s no cross contamination of their ready-to-eat meals, so you can focus on finding your favorite keto recipes instead of vetting the brand’s sanitation plan. 

The meal directory lets you filter for dietary preferences—paleo, vegetarian, etc.—as well as personal tastes (i.e. spicy). You’ll find at least a dozen keto-approved meals on the menu, like North Carolina pulled pork and chili lime chicken wings. Waiting for a Wednesday delivery has never been so hard!

Sustainability & Quality: The Good Kitchen aims to use as many organic ingredients as possible, but it also focuses on small local farms to round out the offerings. Plus, all packaging is recyclable, from the box to the white food trays.
