Marley Spoon is a strong second menu for people who find HelloFresh too familiar. Its weekly menu lists over 100 recipes, with global dishes such as Thai lemongrass salmon and chicken shawarma lettuce cups next to steak and burgers. Recipes carry tags such as low carb, high protein, kid friendly and nutritious, and you can filter by cook time, cuisine, protein and allergens. One delivery can mix recipes, prepared meals that only need heating, and Market items such as proteins, produce and snacks. Families get Big Batch recipes and crowd-serving plans. You can edit an order or pause the subscription whenever you need. The menu is browsable before you sign up, which helps you judge the recipes first. We could not find a US price on any Marley Spoon page that loaded from our location, so the price is pending. If price is the main concern, its sister brand Dinnerly costs less.
