I don’t cook. I burn. Dinner is done when the fire department arrives. Still, as a vegan, I would love to eat good and varied meals.
And there are several prepared-meal services that will let vegans do just that, with meat- and dairy-free entrees delivered to you weekly.
Among them is CookUnity, which offers chef-crafted vegan meals. No cooking, no prep for their plant-based and sustainable meals, which include entrees like lentil shepherd’s pie and mushroom leek risotto. Price per meal for eight meals delivered weekly is $6.30. More at cookunity.com
Sprinly was founded by two former tech professionals with a commitment to eating healthy and providing nutritious meals to vegans across America. They work with nutritionists and doctors to create well-rounded meals such as Scrumptious Sliders with Herbs de Provence Home Fries and 8-Sprice Vegetable Soup with a Citrus Detox Salad. Plans start at six meals a week for $109, 12 meals for $199 and 18 meals for $299. More info at sprinly.com

Green Chef similarly sends you recipes with ingredients to make your own meals; it’s $6.50 per meal for two people for three meals – unfortunately they don’t let you order for one person; greenchef.com. Purple Carrot is plant-based and offers quick-to-cook kits, fresh frozen heat-and-eat meals like Tikka Masala and Spinach-Artichoke Cavatappi, and pantry staples for your own creations.
