What to look for in a vegan food box
There is a real difference between a box that is fully vegan and one that simply offers vegan options. A dedicated vegan service puts more thought into protein, variety and nutrition; a mainstream kit with a vegan filter gives you fewer choices but lets a mixed household order together.
The best vegan food boxes
- Fully vegan recipe kit - Grubby is the UK's leading 100% plant-based meal kit, with chef-designed recipes and strong nutrition framing.
- Frozen vegan meals - allplants delivers ready-to-heat plant-based meals with free delivery.
- Widest vegan menus among mainstream kits - Gousto (around 20 vegan recipes a week) and Green Chef both have dedicated vegan plans.
Protein and variety
The main thing to check on a vegan box is protein and variety - weaker plant-based ranges lean heavily on pasta and curry. Grubby and Green Chef both flag protein and aim for varied weekly menus, which matters more than a low headline price if you eat plant-based every day.
