Awesome Tips Best meal kit delivery service: Price, taste and the least amount of plastic
There are a million meal kit services to choose from. We whittled it down to three: Blue Apron, EveryPlate and Sunbasket. Lexy Savvides tried each for a week and compared things like taste, portion size, ease of cooking and even how much single-use plastic comes in a box.

man, still debating between everyplate and blue apron. she really should have listed the prices for each of them. that would have been extremely helpful.
My #1 reason for trying Hello Fresh / Every Plate was to engage my 6/7 year old with cooking.
It takes the fuss out of planning, most of the measuiring, etc and we can get down to basics like knife skills, using tools, safety, and most importantly, spending time together.
I'll check out Every PLate and see if there's a price difference from Hello Fresh, but I'm guessing they're the same.
I do find that ordering 4 meals 1 week, and then skipping the next saves me about $2.50/serving. I just have to freeze those meats immediately, and plan on eating them the following week.
Great comparison of meal kits. I really appreciate your focus on the packaging. That is a concern of mine.
Just an opinion here, but I didn't like Sunbasket. Broccolini is not better than broccoli, arugula is not better than lettuce, kale is not better than spinach, black beans are not better than pinto beans, and so forth. Some folks may have diet preferences though. Their seafood is very good, of course expensive for the portions.
whats the katsu sauce recipe?
Other YTers who made a vid on same topic came down to Every Plate as their pick as well. Seems a winner!
I’m All for “organic” food. And yet you still wear leather shoes and drive coal powered cars.
Have you really thought all of this through?
How about the plates? Appliances? Shades? Soap dispensers? Counter tops? Etc.
Just asking.
It’s ok your still better than “normal” people.
Even at the cheapest $50 a week for 4 meals, that's $200 a month for 16 meals with no leftovers. What a scam.
Did any say if they were non-gmo or not?
Love that you showed the waste. Thanks
I love meal kits but I tried Sunbasket once and both meals were equally disgusting. Would not try again. Also, if you want a really good cheaper meal kit I'd go with dinnerly. They have a much bigger variety then Every Plate and better recipes in my opinion for about the same price
I don’t comment often , this video was very very very detailed thank you so much . You just helped me choose a meal kit !
I just started getting 3 hello fresh dinners each week and most we liked, a couple we would not eat again. The biggest draw is that my teens want to do the cooking and it gets us to sit down and eat together. Something we used to do pre pandemic. Plus I don’t have to meal plan and shop. I will try other kits in the future.
Love blue apron , I'll never go back to every plate.
5:14 kudos for using chopsticks! Thanks for great vid review.
omg so much plastic
I LOVE that you saved the plastic to show us! 👏🏻❤
We've tried all three and prefer Blue Apron. Mainly because it is interesting food and we learned more about cooking good food. We save the recipe cards for future doing it on our own. If we had kids to feed then we might like EveryPlate but it was too simple…all stuff I could make in my sleep and a lot less expensive buying local. Sunbasket is just too exotic for us even and the instructions are very difficult for us old folks with tired eyes.
Wonderful video! Thank you.
They all cost way too much! The best meal kit is going to the store and cooking.
Yo Lexi did you mean to say "capsicum"? lol
Waste Generation is the name of my new band
Why are people so obsessed with organic? organic means it will discompose. So whats the deal?
Problem I had with Everyplate is that too much of the meal is potatoes, rice, or pasta. You can see how they can sell it for less than the others. But the sauces make the items quite tasty, and you can get seafood or steak meals at extra cost.
I'm good thanks I would rather save money and go to the grocery store.
So the service is basically for lazy people
Least amount of plastic,
Most amount of paper, bye bye planet
I use all of these and the truth is they are all the same. Just subscribe to the one with the best deal each week. They will all offer you giant discounts time and time again.
Yea I try every plate the first week was fine the second week we started missing some ingredients and almost all the protein receipt were pork and potatoes and we don’t eat pork
100% agreed. Every week I order 10 meals. 5 lunch meals from everyplate and I rotate 5 dinner from either hellofresh or home chef. I used to ordered blue apron but the amount of plastic was such a turn off. I canceled after two weeks. But overall, you're spot on. I love everyplate because their food are tasty and well priced.
In India there is no such concept at all! But the pictures you show are really good, making me hungry again😂
LOL, I just saw a Blue Apron Ad before this…. 😂
I thought it is a tech channel or something… unsubscribe!
