Hungryroot sits between a meal kit and an online grocery store. You answer a few questions about diet, health goals and budget, and Hungryroot fills a weekly cart with groceries and recipes that match. Its site lists filters such as High Protein, Anti-Inflammatory, Gut-Friendly, Less Sugar, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free and Vegetarian, plus 13 more, which is the widest diet coverage on this list. Prices are listed per serving: breakfast from $3.99, lunch from $5.99 and dinner from $8.99, with snacks and sweets from $1.99. Shipping is free over $70. Recipes are shoppable and draw on a library of 50,000+, and the catalog also includes ready-to-eat salads, oven-ready meals and junk-free grocery staples. This suits people who want healthy food for the whole day rather than three set dinners. The tradeoff is that it is less of a guided cooking experience than a recipe box, and because the cart fills itself, you need to check each order against your budget.
