This organic plant-based meal delivery and vegan cleanse program is all fresh food that arrives just after having been prepared and is meant to be eaten as soon as possible. Sakara also happens to be a favorite meal delivery of some A-List celebs and more Victoria’s Secret models than can fit on one runway. I’d tried it and would describe Sakara Life as high-end spa food that looks great on camera and it tastes pretty good too. Note, this is the only meal delivery program in which freezing the food is not really a good option since you’re getting fresh salads, grain bowls and even breakfast bread that won’t handle it well

I really liked the variety of healthy, organic salads, noodle bowls, curries, breakfast noshes and snacks. You can order as many as three meals per day, five days a week — but beware, it gets expensive. Subscribing to three meals is about $84 per day, but you can order just lunch and dinner for $58 per day (shipping is included). 

Expensive as it may be, this is definitely the freshest food of any meal delivery options on this list (meal kits excluded) and with the hefty price tag, it might be better suited for that pre- or post-vacation cleanse rather than an ongoing diet plan.

Vegan meals per week: 5 breakfasts, 5 lunches and 5 dinners.

Sakara Life pricing: The Signature Program requires that you get at least two meals per day, and starts at around $54 per day for breakfast and lunch. If you want to add diner as well, that jumps up to around $84.

Sakara Life cleanses are even pricier with the Level II cleanse (five days of meals and supplements) clocking in at $450 and the 20-day Bridal Cleanse at a gulp-inducing $1,680. All prices include shipping (you’d think so!).
