We Tested Over 35 Meal Delivery Services — These Are the 8 We Recommend if You Follow a Paleo Diet

Sunbasket wins as our best-overall paleo meal delivery service. It pairs organic, fresh produce with responsibly raised meats or wild-caught seafood. Meals offered include a meal kit, serving two to four, for which you receive all the ingredients to prepare a delicious meal at home. Sunbasket also offers fresh and ready-made meals for one person, for those nights when time is not on your side; these meals can be ready in minutes in the microwave and without the chopping and cleanup.

Sunbasket caters to eight different meal plans for various diets, including paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, diabetes-friendly, vegan, under 20 minutes, and low-calorie, with a diverse menu. Its paleo menu emphasizes meats, veggies, and fewer carbs. The high-protein recipes are rich in organic produce, without dairy, gluten, grains, soy, or corn. Tori Martinet, RD, our expert reviewer at Everyday Health, states, “The [menu items] are really fun, I had a hard time choosing. Dishes felt authentic, with various Asian-influenced dishes, lots of Mediterranean options, Latin flavors, and a homestyle American favorite or two.”

Sunbasket also includes add-ons from “The Market,” as Sunbasket calls it. These additional items are available to include with your meals, including breakfast items, snacks, grocery items, additional proteins, breads, smoothies, drinks, desserts, and seasonal extras. Dietary tags allow for easier choosing under each item (meal or snack). You can filter by paleo, but can also review each item individually - noting tags such as gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, and more. Martinet comments, “The "market" has a huge assortment of add-ons, larger than any other [meal delivery service] I've come across.” It's like you are shopping at a high-end grocery store.

The ingredients for the meal kit dishes are shipped to you with recipe cards for home preparation. If you are a novice in the kitchen, this kit may be tough to use when starting out. However, if you are motivated to improve your skills and learn new techniques while enjoying delicious paleo dishes, these meal kits could be exactly what you need. If you are someone who prefers to leave the chopping and ingredient prep to the experts, opt for Sunbasket’s premade meals which can be ready in the microwave or oven in minutes.

For anyone new to paleo, looking for some motivation to get yourself into the kitchen, or interested in testing out new cuisines, try Sunbasket. “These meals feel higher quality than some others I've tried, and honestly, they are a lot more interesting, which makes me want to get in the kitchen and cook,” claims Martinet. With meals starting at $9.99 to $11.49 per serving, Sunbasket can make getting paleo meals accessible.

Green Chef notes on its website that it prioritizes sustainability across every stage of production. It’s organic produce, cage-free eggs, sustainably sourced proteins, and packaging made from recycled, reusable, or compostable materials make it our top pick for the best sustainably sourced meal delivery service.

Green Chef does not feature a specific paleo meal plan option, but it does offer high-protein and gluten-free meal plans. Further dietary preference filters such as "carb smart" and "low added sugar" allow you to create your own paleo-like meals. Green Chef has an extensive menu, offering over 80 options each week.

With an app for added convenience — you can manage your delivery, meal choice, or add-on options. Add-ons include breakfast items, snacks, smoothies, drinks, desserts, supplements, pantry staples, and additional proteins. As a meal kit service, Green Chef allows you to pick your desired meals. You will then receive fresh, pre-measured ingredients shipped directly to your door. Each meal comes with a nutrition label and recipe card, including step-by-step instructions on preparing the meal in your kitchen.

Tori Martinet, RD, one of our expert reviewers, notes, “The biggest advantage of this service is in the time saved, the lack of food waste, and the reduction in decision fatigue that comes from deciding what's for dinner. I liked the menu I had to choose from and how easy things were to prepare when dinnertime came around.”

From a nutrition standpoint, Martinet would have liked to see less sodium and saturated fat in some of the meals. “Overall, the meals were a little less healthy than they could have been in terms of sodium — both what's included as well as what's recommended you add!— and saturated fat content.” But she “loved the protein content overall, the inclusion of vegetables, and the fiber that comes with it.” This point emphasizes the importance of checking food labels and nutrition facts if dietary restrictions are of concern, such as low sodium for someone with blood pressure or cardiovascular issues.

If looking for a sustainably minded meal delivery service, Green Chef could be a good option for you. With some basic knowledge of the paleo lifestyle, you can filter to create your own paleo-friendly meal kits at a price per serving starting at $11.99.

Marley Spoon is dedicated to making weeknights easier and dinners delicious. With an emphasis on seasonal ingredients, a wide variety of cuisines, and more than 100 menu options each week, we have chosen Marley Spoon as our best paleo meal delivery service for variety.

While Marley Spoon does not have a paleo-specific meal plan, it offers eight different plans: vegetarian, family-friendly, low-cal/weight-loss, quick meals, gluten-free, low-carb, and everyday variety. You can filter by dietary preference (low-carb, gluten-free, dairy-free) to tailor the recipes to meet your paleo needs. Lindsay Modglin, our Everyday Health reviewer, says, “The number of options is what sets this service apart from others. There is a wide variety of cuisines, including Italian, Mexican, Asian, and American.” Here at Everyday Health, we love that each week has a mix of different proteins and vegetables.

Unlike some other meal delivery services, Marley Spoon does not offer add-ons, and the menu is focused on dinner recipes. But unlike many meal services, Marley Spoon does allow for menu customization. For example, you can swap proteins for a more personalized dining experience for the recipes labeled "customizable."

Marley Spoon meal kits do require basic cooking knowledge. Each box includes a double-sided recipe card with images to guide you through the six-step recipes and pre-measured ingredients. Many recipes also require pantry staples such as olive oil, salt and pepper, sugar, and eggs. From start to finish, most recipes took 45-55 minutes to prepare and cook. This time may be long for someone or a family with limited time for dinner, so plan accordingly; but at a price per serving of $8.99 to $12.99, the extra time may be worth it!

The rotating local menus include as many as 90 items each week, 50 of which are meals. The extra 40 include add-ons such as breakfast items, extra veggies, extra proteins, desserts, and bone broth. Territory is constantly introducing new meals, ensuring the offerings have a seasonal feel. To ensure freshness, all fresh-prepared meals are delivered twice a week (delivery days vary based on your location within the United States). You can order as many as 12 meals for each delivery day.

Territory sources its meat from ranchers and farmers who respectfully raise animals without antibiotics or hormones. Beef is grass-fed or grass-fed and grain-finished, and pork is never sourced from CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations). All fish and seafood are wild-caught or sustainably raised and follow the advice of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch.

Territory does not provide an app, so all ordering, menu selection, and payment must be completed via computer. It's also one of the higher-priced services on our list, with meals ranging from $7.13 to $28.99 per serving.
