The boom of prepared meal delivery services and meal kit delivery services is evident because an average American is okay with spending money on getting ingredients of so many different recipes delivered to them. Companies like Sunbasket and Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon deliver boxes (recyclable for the most part) of delicious, healthy food straight to your doorstep. These services also cater to specific diet plans!
With a few of them, you get more than just dinners. There are wholesome, yummy options for breakfast, snacks, and more. For instance, Sunbasket is into meal kits, premade meals, breakfast, lunch, snacks, pasta & sauces, and proteins, whereas Marley Spoon only offers dinner/lunch meal kits (although they have over 45 new recipes every week!).
As for the comparison of Sunbasket vs. Marley Spoon, which will it be then? California-based Sunbasket, a well-established company uses all-organic ingredients only; Or Marley Spoon, the center or benchmark (for homecooked American meals) against which all other meal kit delivery services are measured/compared?
Time to get into the comparison bit and decide between these notable, reliable companies!
Meal Delivery Services – What’s So Great About Them?
When you can avoid grocery shopping, maybe due to the lack of time, energy, interest, or whatever, why shouldn’t you?
The process of ‘food prep’ is undoubtedly why most of us don’t want to cook at home. At such times, meal kit delivery services come to the rescue, although you do have to pay a price for the regular deliveries. However, these companies provide healthy, complete meal kits/boxes on a weekly basis, which means you don’t have to do any grocery shopping. At the same time, it also means no chopping either.
Seasonal ingredients, vegan foods, hormone- and antibiotic-free meats, sustainably sourced products, fresh produce, and on and on. These are all members of the thriving meal kit delivery service industry. As a matter of fact, some of them also have oven-ready or microwavable meals (e.g. Sunbasket’s Fresh & Ready recipes).
Premade dishes, no doubt, are such a sigh of relief when you have or dedicate little time to cooking or if living with kids or maybe you’re just not into cooking at all. Even the elderly find these kinds of services and meal plans very helpful since you only have to put the food in the oven, heat it up, and then eat it up. Definitely a much healthier and more affordable alternative to ordering takeout!
The best part about it all is that you and your family get to actually enjoy and look forward to mealtime because the wide selection of recipes is quite mouth-watering and highly nutritious as well. The meals are delicious, and each recipe comes with easy-to-follow, clear-cut instructions that even cooking noobs can quickly follow.
Lastly, also think about how much food you will save. Since the ingredients are portioned properly per serving, guesswork is eliminated. In turn, this results in minimal wastage of food.
Sunbasket vs Marley Spoon – Pricing of meal plans
Luckily, in both cases, how much you pay per serving is based on the number of meals and the number of servings you order. But one thing is quite evident, Sunbasket is the more expensive of the two simply because their meals contain higher quality meat/fish and organic produce.
Sunbasket
With Sunbasket, here’s how much you spend for both their meals kits and Fresh & Ready (microwavable) meals:

Sunbasket vs Marley Spoon – Sign-Up and Order Cancellation
The signing up process for Sunbasket and Marley Spoon is fairly simple, which is amazing if you’re a first-timer.
Sunbasket
In the case of Sunbasket, thanks to the user-friendly interface of the website and app (compatible with Android and Apple devices), you first choose the type of meal plan – Meal Kits or no-prep Fresh & Ready meals. Remember that both can be a part of your order as well (mix and match as you like!).
When selecting from either or both categories, the Sunbasket menu doesn’t let you down when it comes to picking your meals based on specific dietary preferences (e.g. gluten-free, diabetes-friendly, paleo, vegan, etc.).
Once that is done, you have the option to further customize your meal plan depending on what your diet plan is like (e.g., no dairy, high protein, low carb, and more). Then choose the number of servings and dinners per week. Finally, fill in your details like zip code and email address. Now you’re all ready to select what recipes you want from the Sunbasket menu!
What about canceling your order? Sunbasket subscription can be quite reasonably customized or adjusted based on your personal needs and preferences. Of course, a cancellation is an option as well, although you have to do that before the cut-off time which is every Wednesday at 12 pm (Pacific Time).
What is also possible is skipping a week. For these kinds of changes, just log in and go to the ‘My Account’ settings page to make your adjustments. As for canceling your Sunbasket subscription altogether, that can be done through Settings > Manage My Subscription.
Marley Spoon
Even with Marley Spoon, the whole process of signing up and then selecting recipes is very simple and beginner-friendly. You start by choosing how many meals per week and also how many people you’re ordering for.
Then comes the dietary preferences/restrictions (e.g. low carb, dairy-free, kid-friendly, etc.) and the type of protein you want. After that, sample recipes are presented for you to pick from.
The next step is scheduling the delivery of your first Marley Spoon order. Customizing meals is possible and you get over 40-45 dishes on the Marley Spoon menu. The cooking instructions for all the dishes are very breezy and easy to follow. Lastly, selecting meals is also very easy. Thanks to their intuitive interface on both the website and app.
Canceling your Marley Spoon account, skipping a week, and pausing your subscription can be personally done even without having to get in touch with their support team for that. As long as you’re making the changes 5-6 days prior to the scheduled delivery date, you’re most likely not going to face any problems.
Log in, click on the top-placed ‘Orders’ tab, then choose the order you want to adjust.
Also, Marley Spoon sends an order reminder email as early as 9-10 days before the delivery date. In this mail, they mention that order’s deadline to make things more convenient and accessible for you.
Sunbasket vs Marley Spoon – Packaging
Both Sunbasket and Marley Spoon pack their fresh ingredients very thoughtfully. They even sort them recipe-wise, which makes it so much easier, quicker, and more convenient for you to look for exactly what you want when cooking.
Sunbasket Packaging
Let me start by saying that Sunbasket really knows how to preserve the freshness and quality of its ingredients. The packaging is well-insulated and removing it is no guessing game. All meal kits, snacks, pre-made meals, etc. are clearly marked/labelled, so no confusion at all.
As for the packaging material, Sunbasket uses paper bags with denim insulation. Sunbasket is committed to sustainability, hence the recyclable paper bags and reclaimed denim-made insulation. However, the fresh seasonings and produce are wrapped in plastic. Even the gel packs are plastic-covered. Therefore, Sunbasket’s packaging is not 100% planet-friendly.
Marley Spoon Packaging
Expect smart, recyclable packaging with Marley Spoon as well. Paper bags and ice packs you can recycle.
On the downside, just like Sunbasket, even Marley Spoon uses plastic for wrapping ingredients such as meat, while vegetables and fruits come in paper bags.
Sunbasket vs Marley Spoon – Meal Options/Versatility
To pamper your taste buds, Sunbasket and Marley Spoon offer a variety of meal options that consist of premium ingredients and the most refined flavors. Let’s take a quick peek into what both meal kit delivery services offer…
Sunbasket Menu – Super Healthy, Organic, and Diet-Friendly!
Loud and clear, Sunbasket has on its menu Meal Kits and Fresh & Ready recipes. The meal plan options here include:
- Gluten-free
- Soy-free
- Dairy-free
- Diabetes-friendly
- Carb-Conscious
- Lean & Clean
- Paleo
- Pescatarian
- Mediterranean
- Vegetarian
- Family-Friendly
- Protein Plus
- Chef’s Choice
The single-serve, delicious Fresh & Ready dishes don’t take anything more than 5-6 minutes to heat up in the microwave. They’re the best for those who don’t want to or can’t (for some or the other reason) spend time in the kitchen.
For a larger portion/serving size, meal kits are preferable of course. They are perfect for families and couples. These have ingredients that are properly and adequately measured and chopped, so the recipe takes no more than 20-30 minutes to cook.
Once again, yummy family-friendly, kid-suitable options are available as well. Apart from these meal kits and premade meals, Sunbasket also caters to your snack and breakfast demands. Additionally, in their Proteins category, you get fresh cuts of various types of meat – beef, lamb, pork, poultry, seafood, and plant-based protein too.
Marley Spoon Menu – Crowd-Pleasing and Extravagant!
You’re most likely to come across gourmet, high-end dishes on Marley spoon. The legendary Martha Stewart did, after all, help in designing the whole concept and also creating many recipes that are a part of the menu of Marley Spoon.
Although, at this point, I would also like to disclose that Marley Spoon is not as calorie-driven as Sunbasket. Nonetheless, they do have these dietary preference labels/tags:
- Dairy-free
- Gluten-free
- Kid-friendly
- Under 30 minutes
- Low carb
- Low calorie
- Vegetarian
- One-pot meal
If you’re looking to order meal kits based more on diet plans such as eliminating gluten from your meals, losing weight, etc., then you might be a little let down with Marley Spoon. On the flip side, this company has on its menu over 40-45 recipes. Imagine the diversity and sheer volume of appetizing, filling options!
As for the categories available on Marley Spoon:
- Health & Diet
- Vegetarian & Vegan
- Meat & Fish
- Under 30 Minutes
- Family-Friendly
Grocery add-ons can also be found on Marley Spoon every week for snacks, breakfast, desserts, and protein packs that may contain seafood, beef, or chicken.
Sunbasket vs Marley Spoon – Meal Prep
Meal prep is something you have to take into consideration if you’re an at-home chef, even more so if your cooking skills are amateurish.
Sunbasket – Easy and Quick!
With Sunbasket, nonprofessional, beginner, and even not-so-enthusiastic at-home cooks have nothing to worry! Their meals can be prepared in less than 30-40 minutes and come with instructions that are the easiest and simplest to follow.
Even if it’s steak you’re cooking (for instance, Sunbasket’sBlack Angus Steaks with Chickpea, Artichoke, and Roasted Red Pepper Salad), their clear-cut, helpful instructions go a long way. Thus, a first-class meal is prepared all the time, also because of the flavorful seasoning blend that is a part of this meal kit recipe.
Sunbasket provides recipe cards that covers just about every single thing you ought to know with the dish you’re cooking. Each recipe card comes with its own brochure, on the front page of which there is the meal’s picture, total calories, cooking time, how many servings, and what dietary plans it fits into.
At the back, you’ll find the complete nutritional information, different flavors of the recipe, and more. All of this is also available on the Sunbasket website and app.
What about Sunbasket’s Fresh & Ready dishes? These do not take long to prepare or heat up. Microwaving requires only 3-5 minutes, whereas using a conventional oven takes up more time about 20-25 minutes for heating up your Sunbasket premade meal.
Marley Spoon – Depends on the recipe!
The level of difficulty for most of the recipes on Marley Spoon depends on the dish you choose.You may want to keep this in mind at the time of the recipe selection process.
Those with very little cooking experience might find it a bit cumbersome to cook Marley Spoon’s very complicated meals such as Creamy Parmesan Penne with Smoked Salmon, Spinach, & Capers.
If you’re an experienced or long-time, at-home chef, the same recipe is less likely to be so challenging to prepare. If not, then why not just stick to simple yet healthy and tasty dishes. There are enough ‘Under 30 Minutes’ and/or ‘One Pot Meal’ options too on the Marley Spoon menu.
Marley Spoon recipe cards are equipped with easy-to-follow and quick-to-grasp instructions to keep the cooking process smooth and hassle-free, provided that you carefully read those guidelines. Otherwise, it can get all messed up. For instance, if you end up using a non-stick pan instead of the ovenproof skillet mentioned in the recipe guidelines.
Sunbasket vs Marley Spoon – Ingredients sourcing and quality
It’s becoming more common now than ever for consumers, both young and old, to know where their food comes from, how sustainably it’s sourced, the standards of the ingredients used, and things like that.
Sunbasket
If you check out Sunbasket’s ‘Values’ page, you’ll see how transparent they are about what kind of fishermen, ranchers, and farmers they work with. On top of that, most of you reading this article are highly likely to find Sunbasket quite a commendable meal kit delivery service since their fresh produce is 100% organic (USDA-certified organic!).
Click on Sunbasket’s Farms & Sourcing link and you can directly get to know which companies they source their ingredients from. Such as family-run farms, trustworthy ranchers, sustainable-certified fisheries, etc. supplying the ingredients that are making your mealtime a more enjoyable and delicious experience.
Sunbasket’s association with farmers is primarily based on their farming standards (e.g., hormone- and antibiotic-free meat, wild-caught fish, etc.), the ingredients’ quality (e.g., fresh, organic produce), and also the relationship established between the two parties.
Marley Spoon
The Sustainability Report made accessible by Marley Spoon is proof of their genuine dedication to using quality ingredients. The Resident Nutritionist of the company says that they evaluate the entire nutritional profile of every recipe and the whole culinary team ensures that maximum nutrient density and health benefits are a part of the meals.
As for ingredient sourcing, Marley Spoon only works with vendors who comply with high sustainability standards. There’s no denying that Marley Spoon meal boxes are a combination of freshness, variety, and convenience.
Sunbasket vs Marley Spoon – Vegetarian/Vegan Meal Plans
Both menus carry vegetarian options, which is perfect if your diet is 100% meat-free or if you enjoy the freedom of combining both vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals. Although I would like to mention beforehand that only Marley Spoon has the Vegetarian & Vegan category.
Sunbasket Vegetarian/Vegan Meals
Sunbasket’s menu consists of breakfast, lunch, and snack recipes. They also have Pasta & Sauce and Proteins. But do these categories of Sunbasket include vegetarian choices? What about vegan meals?
Unfortunately, vegan is not an option in the case of Sunbasket, but vegetarian is. However, you cannot narrow down your search since there’s no ‘vegetarian’ tag or filter through which only vegetarian recipes are shown to you. It’s a bit disappointing to know that you have to pick out the vegetarian meals from the whole Sunbasket menu.
Once you do select the vegetarian dishes, you can reap the benefits of how wholesome and nutritious the ingredients really are. The perfect example would be the Lentil Mushroom and Apricot Burgers with Arugula Salad – vegan, soy-free, dairy-free, and also has the Protein Plus tag.
Marley Spoon Vegetarian/Vegan Meals
If you’re a vegetarian or vegan foodie, Marley Spoon’s menu is highly likely to look like a more suitable choice for you. The menu contains both vegetarian and vegan meals with a wider variety of dishes every week too.
Just have a look at the Dressing. This one’s vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and kid-friendly!
Sunbasket vs Marley Spoon – Protein Content and Other Nutritional Information
Both Marley Spoon and Sunbasket excel when it comes to nutrition. Their meals, without the shadow of a doubt, are full of lean proteins, fresh vegetables, whole grains, and more (all high-quality ingredients, no doubt). The calorie count range is also very diversified, which means there are low- and high-cal meals.
So how about I now get into comparing their dishes side by side that I’ve picked randomly from both extensive menus for the sole purpose of comparison, so you can decide for yourself which of the two is a better option for you. You can make this decision more effectively based on the number of calories, protein content, carb intake, and other such dietary preferences of each recipe.
Vegetarian Meals
Where does the protein come from?
Mushrooms, lentils, cauliflower, spinach, paneer (cheese), and more with Sunbasket.
Broccoli, mushrooms, spinach, cabbage, chickpeas, tofu, etc. with Marley Spoon.

Chicken Meals
On Sunbasket, you get chicken recipes inspired by Middle Eastern, Mexican, Chinese, Korean, Italian, and Indian cuisines. Basically, global-inspired dishes!
On Marley Spoon, the chicken meals plans are less diverse and fewer in number. The limited choices here are very disappointing indeed.
| SUNBASKET MEAL KIT | SUNBASKET FRESH & READY | MARLEY SPOON MEAL KIT |
| Chicken Breasts with Olive-Leek Sauce and Sautéed Kale | Korean Sweet and Sour Chicken Bowl with Brown Rice, Kale, and Carrots | Chicken &Udon Stir-Fry |

Beef Meals
You should know that Sunbasket’s menu, apart from beef recipes, also consists of turkey, lamb, and pork dishes. Although, Fresh & Ready doesn’t have any premade pork-based meals, only turkey and lamb.
In the case of Marley Spoon, their menu, aside from the beef options, also includes turkey and pork meal plans, but no lamb.
Unfortunately, because of the lack of any beef recipe in the Fresh & Ready section of Sunbasket, hence I’ve chosen lamb in the comparison table below:
| SUNBASKET MEAL KIT | SUNBASKET FRESH & READY | MARLEY SPOON MEAL KIT |
| Black Angus Steaks with Chickpea, Artichoke, and Roasted Red Pepper Salad | Greek Grain Bowl with Lamb Ragout, Fresh Arugula, and Lemon Yogurt | Seared Ranch Steak & Herb Salsa with Roasted Potatoes & Carrots |
| Prep time: 20 minutes | Prep time: 2-4 minutes in microwave oven. 20-25 minutes in conventional oven. | Prep time: 30-40 minutes |
| 770 calories per serving | 480 calories per serving | 670 calories per serving |
| 59 grams of protein | 24 grams of protein | 35 grams of protein |
| 18 grams of carbohydrates | 42 grams of carbohydrates | 54 grams of carbohydrates |
| Tags: soy-free, gluten-free, carb-conscious, Mediterranean, Protein Plus | Tags: soy-free, diabetes-friendly, carb-conscious, <600 calories | Tags: dairy-free, gluten-free, kid-friendly |
Seafood Meals
On Sunbasket, the seafood-based recipes at the moment contain salmon, shrimp, and lobster. These are a part of just the Meal Kit category. There are no premade ‘Fresh & Ready’ seafood meals.
On the other hand, Marley Spoon meal kits include recipes with shrimp, salmon, and tilapia.
The common ground between the two, therefore, is salmon and shrimp, so let’s compare the nutritional value of each:
| SUNBASKET MEAL KIT (salmon) | MARLEY SPOON MEAL KIT (salmon) |
| Curried Salmon and Kale Salad with Warm Carrot-Ginger Vinaigrette | Sweet & Sour Pineapple Salmon |
| Prep time: 20 minutes | Prep time: 20-30 minutes |
| 600 calories per serving | 660 calories per serving |

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs Section
Are they food allergy-friendly?
I think Sunbasket’s dinner-sorting drop-down feature on the top-right corner of their menu page is extremely useful when it comes to narrowing down your options based on dietary preferences, plans, allergies, and the like.
Sunbasket offers healthy meals for many different kinds of lifestyles:
- Dairy-free
- Soy-free
- Gluten-free
- Paleo
- Vegan
- Diabetes-friendly
As for Marley Spoon, sadly, they don’t give you the option to sort their menu via any filters. However, recipes do come with tags that tell you all about the nutritional information. Marley Spoon is communicative in that it mentions if the meal has no added gluten or is dairy-free, low-calorie, kid-friendly, low-carb, etc.
In terms of which of the two is more accommodating to food allergies, that would be Sunbasket. They have more dishes without common allergy-triggering ingredients. On top of that, choosing your meal plans depending on special or specific dietary preferences is easier, quicker, and more convenient with Sunbasket than with Marley Spoon.

You’ve reached the end, so what to pick – Sunbasket or Marley Spoon?
Simple and straightforward – Sunbasket is the best for those who prefer their meals to be a mix of variety, customization, and quality (thus, the higher overall price). On top of that, Sunbasket is the ideal choice for people with food allergies as well. And they have organic produce, unlike Marley Spoon!
As for Marley Spoon, this meal kit delivery service is more suitable for Martha-Stewart-like at-home cooks.
