And the meals are ready to go so you can just heat them and eat them right away, prep-free. Read the full review here. A vegan frozen yogurt place — Yoga-Urt, they have three locations — offered a 5-pound bag of almond pulp, which consists of the leftover bit of almonds used for making milk.

For a third of the regular price, I received a full dozen doughnuts packed into a box, including a big apple fritter. The other issue was that the food waste had been not so much eliminated as transferred from the businesses to me, and it was hard not to waste it myself.

My household is two people, and we were racking up a lot of pastries. I used a cup of the almond pulp to make some vaguely chocolatey date-and-coconut brownie bites, which were satisfying, but there is still a nearly full bag of pulp in my freezer.

I have to confess: I did. But by day three the sliced bread had molded I should have put some in the freezer. Instead of making me feel like I was doing good for the world, Too Good To Go was making me feel terrible about both the state of food waste and myself.

Maybe that is helpful. But my spree of rescuing surprise bags did not feel like it was that solution. The app has two uses as far as I can tell; one sensible, one a bit more frivolous.

If you were having a big group of people over and wanted to give them treats on the cheap, using it to hit up a doughnut shop or panaderia could be a great choice, and might help save a few doughnuts from the dumpster.

Obviously, this move would be much more useful for people with bigger families or households. On TikTok, a lot of people in their 20s unbox their Too Good To Go orders with glee, and if I still lived with four other roommates, this app would be a great way of bribing them not to be quite so mad I left my dirty dishes in the sink again.

That means it's less of an issue if you order too many meals on your first go-around. Services like Daily Harvest and Splendid Spoon have meals for similar prices but are focused more on grain bowls and smoothies and might be better for breakfast or lunch versus dinner.

When it comes to meal kits, your options are many, and most services provide weekly recipes that are low on calories but still filling. HelloFresh has the most recipes per week of any meal kit service, so that might be your best bet for finding consistent meals that keep your diet goals on track.

But all services list the calorie content for each recipe, along with carbs, protein, sugar and sodium. Depending on your weight loss goals, a healthy prepared meal delivery or meal kit service can help. Fresh N Lean, Pete's Real Food and Daily Harvest all have low-calorie meals to choose from.

Some of the services listed here are healthy prepared meal delivery services , sending fully cooked meals -- often frozen or partially frozen -- and ready to eat when you receive them.

Others include health-focused meal kits with premeasured ingredients all boxed up and ready for easy weeknight cooking. There's a stark difference between meal kits and meal delivery, but both make dinnertime easier and can translate into healthier eating choices for you in Plus, we sussed out the best healthy meal services for those on special diets like keto or paleo or for those who wish to eat organic prepared meals and meal kits.

No energy to cook after a long busy day? Perhaps you want to avoid the big pile of pots and pans after meal prep.

Our food and nutrition experts tested over 50 meal delivery services, and we've sent the services to over home chefs to find the best options for every lifestyle and budget.

The beauty of prepared meal delivery services is that they take the stress and mess out of meal prep. Many services offer options for different dietary needs and preferences too.

Plus, they tend to be a bit more cost-effective per meal than takeout or dining out at a restaurant. Some services even have celebrity chefs creating the meals. These ready-to-eat meals are typically portioned for one and only require a few minutes of reheating.
