Meal delivery services
There are many meal delivery services available for older adults. Some meal delivery services like HelloFresh, Blue Apron, and Hungryroot supply most or all of the ingredients for people to cook the meals themselves. Other meal delivery services such as Factor and Home Chef supply pre-made meals that can be heated up in a stove or microwave.
There are meal delivery services that cater to all different types of diets and dietary needs. From those looking to watch their weight or who follow a particular diet, to those who eat vegetarian (Purple Carrot) or gluten free (Green Chef), there are many options to choose from.
The cost of meal delivery services varies depending on the number of meals requested and the plan selected. Meal kits may range on average between $8 and $12 per serving, with different prices depending on how many servings selected for each week. Prepared meals can range on average from $10 to $15 per serving.
