Meal kits can come as often as you want them and you can get recipes that will feed two, four or sometimes as many as six people. From there, you make some of the easiest (and often most delicious) dinners without having to hit the grocery store.

Meal kits are boxes of premeasured ingredients for completing full recipes that get sent to your home along with recipes and tips. And if you've got special dietary concerns or are following an eating plan, there are keto, paleo and low-calorie meal kits to keep your specific nutrition goals intact.

There are also cheap meal kits in case the goal is to get dinner on the table without busting the budget. Home Chef makes meal kits that are easily customizable, so if you've got kids or folks with finicky tastes to consider, this service would be a smart pick. Purple Carrot, for instance, is the best vegan or vegetarian meal kit we tried, since none of its weekly recipes contain meat or animal byproducts.
