Meal kit delivery services with specialized menus are convenient and sometimes necessary, but the best ones serve as many people as possible. That's especially true for prepared meal services like CookUnity, which let you heat and eat with as little friction as possible. CookUnity ships a wide variety of delicious food to your door and doesn't require you to do much more than turn on your oven or stove. All this, plus flexible meal scheduling, make CookUnity our Editors' Choice winner for prepared meal delivery services.

CookUnity has many subscription plans. For example, you can order four meals per week to supplement your existing lifestyle or order 16 meals per week to let the company completely replace your diet. The more meals you order, the less they cost. You can expect to pay between $11.09 and $14.23 per meal, which are reasonable prices for this category. Specialty meals may cost more money. CookUnity also sells gift cards in round amounts from $5 to $500.
