Best vegan meal delivery services to kickstart your plant-based diet

Vegan meal delivery services offer a hassle-free way to hit the ground running with a healthy plant-based diet. Offering nutritious vegan meals and recipe inspiration to move forward with, here's our pick of the best

Vegan diets have never been higher on the national agenda. Veganuary aside, the latest research from The Vegan Society shows around 600,000 people in the UK live by vegan diets and this country boasts more vegan products than any other. Whether you've already taken the plunge or are seriously considering it, the myriad meal delivery services provide a great resource in terms of effort, health and inspiration.

In line with the popularity of healthy food delivery services for any diet, the number of companies offering vegan meal delivery services has soared in recent times, be they delicious freezer-friendly ready meals, fresh recipe boxes or even powdered meal-replacement supplements.

They prove particularly helpful in maintaining motivation and not hitting a wall when you simply cannot stomach another chickpea-centric meal. From Allplants to Detox Kitchen and all the best plant-based meat alternatives you'll now find in the supermarkets, here are some of the best we've tried...

• 

  Allplants

  Since its outset, Allplants has dealt only in plant-based meals, formulating delicious, chef-made recipes for your freezer that are quick and simple to reheat and enjoy. Delivering all over the UK, Allplants is an excellent choice for those whose vegan kitchen prowess is lagging somewhat behind their plant-based diet ambitions, with highlights including a vegan lasagne noci made from minced mushrooms, lentils and walnuts and a delicious teriyaki udon noodle dish. As a cherry on the egg-free cake, those taking up veganism for its relative sustainability will be pleased to know Allplants is a Certified B Corporation, operating with sustainable production, recyclable and compostable packaging, and a carbon-neutral delivery partner. allplants.com

• The Good Prep

  Alongside week-long meal plans geared towards trimming down, maintaining mass or building muscle, one of The Good Prep's most popular programmes is its "Power & Plants" vegan delivery service. The five-day plan, consisting of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, costs £24 a day and is delivered in two weekly instalments to keep pre-prepped meals as fresh as possible. Among our favourite dishes from the selection is tofu katsu curry, barbecue pulled jackfruit and butternut steak, polished off with a tub of the moistest sweet potato brownies you could wish to put in your mouth. If you're looking to kickstart a vegan diet but aren't quite ready to commit to the extra effort in the kitchen, The Good Prep takes the stress out of weekday cooking and leaves the weekend free to experiment. thegoodprep.com

• Kurami

  When it comes to plant-based glow-ups, you won't find healthier than Kurami's vegan meal path. At approximately £40 per day for three meals, a drink and a snack, this level of nutritionist-backed programming doesn't come cheap, but it really is as good it gets. Founded by anthropology of food graduate Camilla Pigozzi Garofalo, Kurami specialises in freshly prepared meals delivered to doorsteps across the country, however often you choose. Especially close attention is paid to gut health with every meal, which translates to fibrous takes on delicious poridges, laksas and tagines, all making use of ancient ingredients and, of course, without a processed ingredient in sight. kurami.co.uk

• Mindful Chef

  Mindful Chef is one of the country's most popular recipe box delivery services for good reason. Though not exclusively vegan in its food choices, the plant-based offerings each week are plenty and deliver on taste, nutrition and presentation alike. Mindful Chef's easy-to-follow recipes are excellent for those who are just starting out on a plant-based diet, as you'll take away many a tip and trick to incorporate into your own vegan creations down the line. We'd suggest any of Mindful Chef's takes on jackfruit, but, equally, you're always in for a treat with a tofu dish. mindfulchef.com

• Gousto

  One of the best-known meal delivery services out there, Gousto is something of a giant in this space, offering about as much variety as you could possibly wish for and having partnered with big names in healthy eating such as Joe Wicks. Among its many meal offerings will always be between five and ten plant-based choices that won't disappoint, everything from vegan poke bowls to teriyaki aubergine, all delivered with recipe cards that'll teach you how to make the most of plant-based ingredients along the way. gousto.co.uk

• Fresh Fitness Food

  For a long time, the idea that you could pursue a rigorous fitness regime fuelled solely by vegan foodstuff was an off-beat one. But as protein myths are continually debunked, more and more gym bunnies are powering through their pull-ups with plants. Fresh Fitness Food is a London-based service that can tailor vegan meal plans to any fitness goal, be it fat loss or muscle building, either by a bespoke plan or options within its frozen range such as pumpkin satay curry, all prepared by expert chefs and nutritionists. freshfitnessfood.com

• Detox Kitchen

  The words "plant-based" and "healthy" are not always interchangeable, but you can count on The Detox Kitchen to make it so. This trendy London-only delivery service specialises in wheat, dairy and refined-sugar-free meals tailored to five different dietary needs. You'll pay for the perfect combination of healthy and extremely tasty – the vegan package starts at £28.90 per day. That said, if you're looking to readjust not just your diet but your entire lifestyle in 2021, it's a price we think is well worth paying. detoxkitchen.co.uk

• Moving Mountains

  Vegan meat alternatives have fast risen the ranks from the lab to a fixture of many a London menu. Leading the way on the consumer front is Moving Mountains. Starting out with the plant-based "bleeding" burger, it has since moved on to everything from meatballs and beef tenders to fish fingers, all made from vegan-friendly ingredients that generate less emissions and use fewer resources to make. With stockists now including Waitrose, Ocado and Amazon Fresh, these really could be our protein sources of the future. movingmountainsfoods.com

• The Curators Mushroom Burgers

  If the idea of lab-grown burgers feels a tad on the processed side for your vegan ambitions, let us introduce you to some of the best veggie burgers to have passed our lips. The Curators is by no means a vegan-exclusive brand. In fact, the bulk of their products are bar-friendly meat snacks such as beef biltong and pork puffs. But its mushroom products are as moreish as they come, with just the right texture to sink your teeth into. Exceptionally juicy, both its burgers and meatball alternatives are good sources of protein and fibre, too, without any of the saturated fat you'll find in the beef mince alternatives. wearethecurators.com at wholefoodsmarket.co.uk

• The Unbelievable Alt

  As far as meat-free alternatives go, The Unbelievable Alt is up there with the best of them. Replacing chicken, lamb and beef tenders, plus mince with planet-friendly, vegan options, these delicious takes on plant-based meat produce between 50 and 80 per cent less CO2  than farmed fare, all while being high in plant-based protein and low in saturated fat. It's the ultimate meaty snack for those looking to cut meat from their diets and you'll find myriad mouth-watering recipes  – from spaghetti bolognese to tacos to cobblers – via the brand's website. theunbelievablealt.com and tesco.com

• Vegan Dough Co

  As science works hard to perfect the right cheese alternative (cashews? coconut milk? yeast extract?), vegan pizza continues to be a work in process. Vegan Dough Co has worked hard in the flavour department to make pizza that doesn't taste fully vegan, thanks to its flavoursome base ingredients. Great dough, rich tomato sauce and a host of vibrant toppings (vegan mozzarella, spicy vegan 'nduja, broccolini, green olives and chilli oil) help make your pie as flavoursome or as basic as you want it.

• Huel

  Those looking to really future-proof their diets might consider looking away from vegan wholefoods. Huel has grown from strength to strength since its inception in 2015, starting out with its meal-replacement supplements made from a plant-based concoction of oats, peas, rice, flaxseed, coconut and sunflower to offer all the variety and balanced macronutrients you'd expect to have on a healthy plate of food. Recent developments have seen the launch of Huel Hot & Savoury, for those who tire of shake after shake – a complete vegan meal packed with rice, quinoa, vegetables, herbs and spices and flavoured in varieties from Mexican chilli to yellow coconut curry. It may not taste quite as good as the recipe boxes in our edit, but for hassle-free vegan breakfasts and lunches, it hits just the spot. huel.com
