Hungryroot is a bit of a wild card among meal delivery services, leveraging its array of available grocery items into quick-cooking meal kits to keep healthy, vegetarian meals on the table with minimal fuss and time. The service goes beyond basic add-ons and has an incredible library of approximately 1,000 name-brand, in-house-made, and raw ingredients for purchase, as well as over 10,000 meal kit recipes. Options range from simple wraps and sandwiches to more epicurean entrées, but no matter what, the recipes are clear and easy to follow, and they come together quickly.
It might sound intimidating to sift through thousands of choices, but the menu filters make it easy, with 10 dietary accommodations listed, including vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian, plus filters for meals under 500 calories, spice level, and even cooking times of less than 5 minutes or 10 minutes. My favorite filter is the 20 protein types, which include tofu and tempeh, beans and lentils, meat alternatives, and dairy-free cheese — incredibly useful if you’re looking for vegetarian items specifically.
Ashley Brafman, RD, tested the service and says, “Hungryroot is a great option for anyone looking for a hybrid of an online grocery service, meal kits, and fast, easy meals.” It’s the ultimate low-effort meal kit model, and varied recipes and a veggie-friendly recipe library make it an incredible fit for cooks who want a quick vegetarian meal.
