Meal kits are more popular than ever these days and, with so many options to choose from, perfect for all sorts of lifestyles. Whether you're on a vegan diet or looking for a high protein diet -- or anything in between.

Meal kits provide convenience for those juggling work-family responsibilities and for people who don't have the time to do grocery shopping on the weekend. It's simple: Find a meal delivery service, select the meals you fancy for the week and place your order. You select the days that work for you -- it could be every day or just a few to ease the pressure on the days that you know you'll be busy.

From comforting pasta dishes in the winter to spicy Mediterranean seafood perfect to relish on the patio on a hot summer's day, find the meal kit delivery service that works with your lifestyle and budget below.

Home Chef

Starting from $6.99 per serving

Home Chef offers two plans. The first is the Home Chef pre-prepped portions that come with instructions so you can cook up a delicious storm without the need to shop around, providing you with the convenience and lessons to learn along the way. The second option is low-to-no-food prep meals, saving you the hassle of cutting and measuring for your meals. It's great for people who just don't have the time for elaborate meal prep. The meal kits are tailored to you, so if you have any dietary requirements, input them into your preferences. Every Monday, you'll receive an email with more than 20 options to pick from. Plan with your family and make your choice by the following Friday of that week. If you're willing to use this opportunity to experiment with your palate, try going with their recommendations!

As these kits arrive in cardboard boxes, bottles, and jars, you can recycle them as you would normally.

Purple Carrot is on a mission to cultivate the plant-based revolution. Dinners, lunches, breakfasts, and snacks -- you name it.

You can prioritize your meal plan for what you need most, whether you want it to be Quick & Easy, High-Protein, Gluten-Free, or Chef's Choice dinners, for a more adventurous way to experience the vegan lifestyle. With more than 20,000 plants, plus the decreased chance of high blood pressure, reduced risk of heart disease, and lower risk of diabetes, paired with meal kits' carbon footprint compared to meals bought in the grocery store, we can't find a reason not to convert.
