As with anything new in life, changing your diet to eliminate gluten can be really challenging at first, and learning what to cook, or what you can and can’t eat, can make it feel impossible to get started. But you don’t have to go it alone! Whether you’re new to being gluten-free or you have lots of allergens to accommodate, today I’m going to tell you about 6 certified gluten-free meal delivery services that can help you on your way to achieving a happier and healthier diet.

Paleo on the Go

Paleo on the Go creates delicious chef-designed meals that will tick all of your dietary requirement boxes. Not only are all of these meals paleo and gluten-free, but they are also AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) friendly which makes them a really great confusion-free option for someone who is just starting out on their AIP journey. They also have meals suitable for someone following a low-carb or keto diet too.

They have a range of meals covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner including soups, classic meat and veggie dishes, noodles, and even sweet treats. All meals come frozen and served in oven and microwave safe packaging, ready to simply reheat and eat. They only use quality ingredients such as sustainably raised meats and strictly follow the Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen protocol when it comes to sourcing fruits and vegetables.

Balanced Bites

Balanced Bites meals are probably the best on the list when it comes to providing allergen-friendly options - even for those of us out there with a lot of food intolerances. All of their meals are 100% gluten, grain, and soy-free, and you can choose from a range of menus such as paleo, keto, seasonal, classic, pork-free, or 21-day sugar-free detox. What I also love about Balanced Bites is that you can further narrow down your meal choice by dietary preferences such as nightshade-free, dairy-free, nut-free, egg-free, and macro-friendly requirements.

Although the ingredients used are not all grass-fed or organic ingredients, they do use antibiotic and hormone-free meats to ensure all meals are squeaky clean, additive-free, and affordable. Your Balanced Bites meals are prepared in small batches, frozen, and delivered to your doorstep within a few days, so that all that’s left to do is heat, garnish (if you wish), and serve! If you prefer to heat in the oven, you should partially thaw the meal, and move it into an oven-safe dish for heating.

Freshly

If you’re just starting out on gluten-free living and have no idea where to start, Freshly would be a great meal delivery service for you. With a focus on smart swaps and clever use of vegetables, they craft comforting meals that are not only good for the soul but good for your gut too. Their meals are all really homely including dishes such as casseroles, pasta bakes, noodles, and glazed meat and veggies.

Although Freshly is not organic/non-GMO certified, they do keep their meals as free as possible from processed sugars and artificial sweeteners. Your meals will be delivered fresh in microwave-safe containers, ready to simply heat and eat. If you want to avoid heating in the microwave, you can use the oven or stovetop, you will just need to transfer the meals to an oven-safe dish first.

Trifecta

Trifecta is a great option for the fitness fanatics out there who want to enjoy really clean, healthy meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while also taking extra care of their gut. All of the Trifecta meals have no gluten, no soy, no GMO, low sugar, high protein, and are macro-balanced to provide you with the perfect nutrient make-up in your diet. They use really high-quality organic ingredients including grass-fed meats and sustainably caught fish.

You can choose from a range of menus such as clean, paleo, keto, classic, vegetarian, or vegan, before your meals are then cooked and vacuum sealed, and delivered fresh to your doorstep, lasting up to 10 days in the fridge. The meals can be heated in the microwave, but Trifecta does recommend reheating the protein in the oven so that it doesn’t dry out.

Fresh and Lean

Fresh and Lean are on a similar wavelength as Trifecta in terms of menu offerings and focus on really clean eating, however, they also offer snacks and breakfast on their menu. This would make them a great option for someone who has zero time to shop and cook, or someone who wants their meal delivery service to take control of their entire day's menu. Their meals are all completely organic, gluten-free, and never frozen. Instead, they are vacuum sealed in BPA-free trays for freshness of up to 10 days after delivery. One menu offering that Fresh and Lean has, that the other meal services don’t, is a low-carb vegan menu. In general, vegan meal plans can be quite carbohydrate-dense, so if you are someone who is vegan and wants to reduce their carbohydrate intake, Fresh and Lean would be a great option for you.

Green Chef

If you’re running out of ideas when it comes to healthy homemade recipes, or you love to cook, but just don’t have the time to plan the week's meals in advance, then I think you’re going to love this one. Green Chef is a meal-kit subscription service that delivers everything you need to make a restaurant-quality meal, in the comfort of your own home. Most recipes should be ready in 30 minutes and the kits even come with the ingredients pre-prepped and measured to save you time. All that is left for you to do is follow the recipe card and cook up a storm. You will need basic pantry items like cooking oil, salt and pepper, and general kitchen tools, but otherwise, everything you need is in your Green Chef kit.

While not all ingredients are 100% organic, Green Chef promises to use the highest quality, most sustainable ingredients available. It’s also important to note that for complete gluten-free eating, you will need to focus on the paleo and keto menu. Some of the meals on the balanced living and plant-powered menu are gluten-free too, so you can still explore these menus, but just be sure to read the ingredients list before ordering to make sure you are keeping your gut happy.
