Healthline’s nutrition editor, Kelli McGrane, reviewed Green Chef from her expert perspective as a registered dietitian and a busy mom of two. “Green Chef does a really great job of providing nutritionally-balanced meals that are flavorful and enjoyable to eat. The meals were bursting with various textures and ingredients. The flavors were really tasty and different than what we typically cook at home.”
For those who may be wondering what kind of cooking skills are needed, Kelli has this to offer: “Some take a bit more cooking skills than others, though none of the recipes require fancy cooking equipment.”

Best for multi-person households
Home Chef
Why we like it: Home Chef is a great option for multi-person households and individuals alike who are following a gluten-free diet. The company’s Gluten-Smart meals are made with gluten-free ingredients.
While standard menu items come in 2 to 8 servings, Home Chef has a Family Plan, where you have the option of selecting 4, 8, or 12 servings for each meal. This includes easy-to-make meals with family-friendly flavors. It’s a great option if you’re looking for easy gluten-free dinners for the whole family.
For busy households, there are also Fast & Fresh Family and Oven-Ready Family meals that have microwave- and oven-ready meals.
How it works: Home Chef recommends meals based on your taste preferences. You can also take a DIY approach and select your own gluten-free meal kits based on filters.
To choose gluten-free meal kits, simply add a gluten-free filter or include this in your preferences.
You can also filter meal kits based on allergens and preferred animal products. For example, you can choose gluten-free plus nut-free or pork-free meals.
Meals are selected each week, with more than 20 recipes to choose from. This is helpful if your household has gluten-free plus other dietary preferences.

SaVanna Shoemaker is a registered dietitian and busy mom who had this to say after testing Home Chef: “Home Chef is reasonably priced and they have a lot of quick meals that only require a few minutes of prep time. I had a good experience with Home Chef. The ingredients arrive packaged by recipe in plastic bags, which is really convenient when you’re getting ready to cook dinner. The meals were both really tasty and came together very easily, with helpful and straightforward recipe cards.”
“The meals were simple with sauces that added lots of flavor. They also offer a lot of add on salads and sides to stretch the meals further.”
While SaVanna enjoyed the meals, she found they could be more family focused: “I thought Home Chef needed a few more kid-friendly options.”

Best prepared meals
Trifecta Nutrition
Why we like it: Trifecta Nutrition’s “deep chilled” prepared meals are a popular choice among health-conscious consumers, and for good reason. The nutritionally balanced, made-with-sustainable-ingredient meals are tasty, and there’s enough variety in the rotating menu that they don’t feel repetitive. Most meals are also gluten-free, and while they aren’t prepared in a gluten-free kitchen, Trifecta notes that preparation areas are cleaned thoroughly to prevent cross-contamination.
Trifecta also uses high quality, mostly organic ingredients and sustainably sourced proteins.
How it works: Trifecta Nutrition offers meal plans tailored to several specific diets, including:
It also offers a Classic plan, which allows you to choose your meals to create a custom menu, and a Meal Prep plan, which allows you to order a variety of proteins, carbs, and vegetables.
After choosing your plan, you can order 5, 7, 10, or 14 entrees per week. Boxes containing the upcoming week’s meals are typically delivered on Friday. You can skip future deliveries or customize your delivery schedule to receive meals every other week, every 3 weeks, or once a month.

Registered dietitian Rachael Ajmera tried Trifecta and gave the meals good marks for their range of ingredients, as well as the impressive tastes and textures, which did not diminish with reheating.
“I found that the meals had enough variety and featured diverse ingredients, which helped ensure that they didn’t feel boring or repetitive throughout the week.”
“I [also] found that most ingredients maintained their taste and texture very well even after reheating, which can be a common issue with prepared meals.”

Best plant-based
Daily Harvest
Why we like it: All Daily Harvest plant-based prepared meals are gluten-free, and they’re relatively inexpensive compared with other meal delivery services. We also like that you can order breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options.
How it works: Unlike other meal delivery services, Daily Harvest doesn’t have specific menus to choose from. Instead, you select how many items you’d like to receive weekly, and then choose from a full menu of options, including breakfast bowls, smoothies, soups, Harvest bowls, flatbreads, and snacks.
Order boxes are delivered weekly, and all products are frozen and packaged with dry ice. You can reheat items like soups and bowls in the microwave or on the stove. You may want to heat the flatbreads in either a traditional oven or a toaster oven.
It’s important to note that although all Daily Harvest meals are gluten-free recipes, they’re prepared in a facility that also processes gluten-containing ingredients, cross-contamination is possible.

Registered dietitian Rachael Ajmera tried Daily Harvest and had a positive experience. “I sampled several entrees, breakfast dishes, snacks, and smoothies from Daily Harvest, all of which I found were tasty, convenient, and easy to prepare.
That said, she was somewhat underwhelmed by the portion sizes. “The portion sizes were small and not very filling. Therefore, I would recommend using it alongside other meals or snacks to help round out your diet.”

Best meal kit
Sunbasket
Why we like it: Sunbasket is an organic meal delivery service that offers a broad assortment of flavorful and easy-to-prepare gluten-free meal kits packed with fresh ingredients. You can also order from the service’s prepared meals menu.
How it works: Order two or more 2- or 4-serving meals per week (a minimum order is 4 servings) from a specific menu, such as gluten-free, or mix and match for a selection from all the available menus. You can also choose a mix of meal kits and prepared meals for your order.
Order boxes are shipped weekly, and contain pre-measured ingredients for meal kits, along with a recipe booklet. While most items are included in the kit, you’ll want to have things like olive oil, salt and pepper, and basic pans and utensils to prepare the meals.
Prepared meals can be stored in the refrigerator until ready to eat, or then frozen.
It’s important to note that Sunbasket’s gluten-free menu items are packaged in a facility that processes food allergens, including gluten, so are unsuitable for those with severe gluten-related disorders, such as celiac disease.

What our tester says
Our in-house dietitian, Kelli McGrane, has tested dozens of meal kits and Sunbasket ticked a lot of boxes for her. “Thanks to seasonal ingredients and house-made spice blends and sauces, each of the meals I tried tasted fresh and flavorful. The kits arrived on-time and in good condition. In fact, I thought the packaging and quality of the meat and seafood was the best out of all of the meal kits I’ve tried.”
“Overall, I found Sunbasket to offer the most consistently delicious flavors and exciting ingredient combinations. I also appreciated that the meals I tried were bursting with vegetables, which isn’t always the case with meal kits.”
When asked to assess cost, Kelli had this to say: “While it isn’t cheap, I think Sunbasket is worth the cost if you value organic ingredients and exciting new flavor and ingredient combinations.”

Best low FODMAP
Epicured
Why we like it: All items on Epicured’s extensive menu of prepared entrees, salads, soups, and more are gluten-free recipes and low FODMAP. The meals also receive high marks from our tester for variety and freshness.
How it works: First you either select a subscription with Epicured, for a reduced price, or choose to do a one-time order. You then filter for different dietary preferences, such as vegetarian or vegan, low-sodium, dairy-free, among others, and choose from the large selection of entrees, sandwiches, soups, salads, snacks, smoothies, desserts and sides presented.
Each week you receive your box of “chilled” meals that should be stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Some items, labeled Freezer Friendly, can stored in the freezer until ready to eat. Each item includes a “best by” date.
For subscriptions, the service automatically regenerates your previous order. However, you can easily make changes to your menu selections, and pause or cancel your subscription.
