Too Lazy To Hit The Supermarket? These Services Deliver Everything From Snacks To Full Meals
-
Nibblr
Nibblr is a subscription box service offering a mix of somewhat healthy portion-controlled snacks (think shortbread cookies with dried blueberries or pretzels with quinoa crusted almonds). The boxes each contain four snacks, and can be delivered as often as you like. An added bonus is that the boxes are designed to be ready-to-gift and over 55 of the nearly 80 snacks available are 150 calories or less.

Blue Apron
Blue Apron was one of the first in the do-it-yourself meal delivery category. Included in each box are pre-measured ingredients and recipe cards. Each box comes with enough for three meals for two people.
-
Foodstirs
Designed by chefs, Foodstirs food crafting kits are meant to help children get comfortable in the kitchen, while teaching them basic cooking skills. They also happen to be great for adults who simply want fun, easy recipes without the hassle of gathering together the ingredients (who doesn't want to make chocolate cake or chocolate ice pops?). Each kit comes with recipes, dry ingredients, specialty cooking and craft tools and food fact cards.

Farmbox Direct
Farmbox Direct is a certified-organic box delivery service that delivers weekly boxes to your door. Pick one of three sizes for your box of fruit, vegetables or get a box with both and then add on dairy, bread, eggs, juice, coffee and a variety of other USDA organic certified items from farms in the New York area.

Daily Harvest
Addicted to smoothies, but don't want to buy, rinse and chop all the ingredients? Daily Harvest will send you a box filled with ready-to-freeze bags filled with pre-measured ingredients, each designed for one smoothie. Just add water, almond milk or any other liquid, and blend when you're ready.
-
Green Blender
If you are willing to do a bit more prep work than with Daily Harvest, Green Blender delivers a box with enough ingredients for 10 smoothies (five different ones). All ingredients are pre-measured, but there is still some rinsing and chopping involved. On the plus side, the recipes change weekly depending on what’s in season.
