Under-The-Radar Meal Delivery Programs to Elevate Your WFH Lunch Lineup

Super convenient food delivery services you probably don’t know about yet. …

Love it or hate it, many of us are still working from home—and might be for quite a while longer—which means we have a little more time on our hands to explore trying and cooking new meals. Sure, ordering takeout or prepared meals via Postmates or Uber Eats is always a reasonably solid option, but if you’re like me and have realized that the majority of the money you’ve shelled out during the pandemic has literally gone directly to pricey contactless restaurant and lazy-day fast food orders, you may also be looking to pull back a bit on relying on these delivery apps to feed you, whether because you’re looking to save money or just trying to get back on track with healthier eating habits.

While many of us are familiar with some of the O.G. meal prep delivery and subscription serves like Hello Fresh, there are plenty of newer and more under-the-radar options the market that also deliver ready-to-cook and perfectly portioned ingredients that won’t put such a dent in your wallet, and will help you get back in the kitchen. Sure, they may not be quite as budget-friendly as shopping for your own groceries, but they’re ridiculously convenient nonetheless. Plus, these services are the perfect option for beginner chefs like me that want to dabble in the “culinary arts”, but still need just a little more help in the kitchen than the average person (hey, at least I’ve graduated from microwavable burritos, y’all!). Scroll through below to check out some of our favorite lesser-known food delivery services to try out for yourself.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

My neighbor, ex-boyfriend, and obviously me are all addicted to Territory Food’s super fresh, tasty, and microwave-friendly meals. They. are. so. good. The meal delivery service often teams up with local, top-rated restaurants like Los Angeles based eateries Gracias Madre and Cafe Gratitude (along with their ongoing partnership with Bravo’s Top Chef Chef Eric) and there’s always a new rotation of meal options that changes every week, so you never get bored or run out of new items to try. Of course, if you do happen to be addicted to a meal, there’s always permanent menu offerings (my favorite is the Keto Grilled Salmon with Cauliflower and Broccoli) that vary depending on your region.

Sakara Nutrition’s plant-powered meal program offers four different options to cater to your individual needs and wellness goals, with a focus on improving digestion, energy, and even enhancing your complexion through nutrition: Sakara Signature, Detox, Total Body Reset, and Brides. Each ready-to-eat meal not only tastes delicious (yes, even if you’re not vegan), but also make you feel like a new person (trust me, I just tried the Total Body Reset a week ago). Some of my favorites dishes include Pink Peppercorn Tomato Bisque, Sexy Cinnamon Rolls, and the Black Garlic BBQ Burger)

As I mentioned above, I’m not even plant-based and I absolutely loved each and every nutrient-dense meal I tried from Thistle (although, for pescatarian and carnivores, they do also offer dishes with fish and meat.) Unlike other meal delivery services, Thistle allows you to customize your menu and you can pause the program at any time—but trust me, you will not want to. Some of my favorite dishes from the program include Creamy Tomato Pasta, Cauliflower Polenta Bowl, and the Dirty Chai Oatmeal Bowl. They also offer a huge assortment of fresh juices and sides as well.

Cardi B and Offset Spark Romance Rebirth with Secretive Valentine’s Day Rendezvous

Last year witnessed the dramatic split of power couple Cardi B and Offset, marked by messy rumors of infidelity and a very public Twitter explosion from the “Bodak Yellow” sensation. Amidst the chaos, fans were convinced the two had parted ways for good.

Contrary to expectations, the former flames seemed to reignite a spark when Cardi hinted at a New Year’s Eve reunion in January, insisting she was still “single” at the time. Now, the duo has thrown fans into a frenzy once again, stepping out for a seemingly romantic Valentine’s Day celebration.

This week, Cardi and Offset discreetly dined at Carbone in Miami Beach, entering separately in an apparent attempt to keep their gathering under wraps. Though no public displays of affection were witnessed, the fact that they left the venue together just after midnight has only intensified speculation about their relationship status.

While Cardi remains tight-lipped about her current romantic situation, she hasn’t been shy about expressing her thoughts on other high-profile couples. In a pre-Super Bowl interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she revealed her admiration for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, deeming them “cute.”
