Our Score
How it scores
Why this score
- Value: About $11.99 a meal all in on the largest plan once the $19.95 weekly shipping is spread across the box.
- Ingredient quality: Publishes a firm no artificial ingredients policy and full nutrition with allergens, and meals are physician and dietitian designed, but sourcing is described only in general terms.
- Menu variety: Over one hundred and fifty meals across eight diet tracks including diabetic, heart healthy, keto flex, menopause and a GLP-1 optimized menu.
- Flexibility: Skip, pause or cancel directly from the account with no cancellation fee, subject to a weekly ordering deadline.
- Satisfaction: Customers pursuing a medical goal report real results, but complaints about small portions, mild seasoning and the weekly shipping fee are frequent and weigh heavily.
