With a meal delivery service, you sign up for a box, which typically contains ingredients for two to four meals. The box can be delivered right to your doorstep, and you don’t have to be home as all the food is packed on ice. You receive the box with all the ingredients (pre-measured) and a recipe card with detailed instructions–all you have to do is get cooking. 

Here’s a breakdown of some popular Canadian options to help you determine which meal delivery service is the best fit for you:
