These Gluten-Free Meal Kits Are Actually Surprisingly Easy
Following a gluten-free diet requires a lot of work when it comes to checking ingredients, nutrition labels, restaurant menus, and more. Thankfully, the food industry has started to take food allergies and food sensitivities more seriously, making it somewhat easier to live a gluten-free lifestyle. This includes meal delivery services that make following the diet a lot more convenient.
Whether you're staying away from gluten due to celiac disease or simply out of preference, subscribing to a meal delivery service can be a total game changer when you live a busy life but still want to eat healthy, nutritious meals at home. There's a total range of options available, too.
From boxes with pre-portioned ingredients and recipes to ready-to-eat meals, there are options galore via services you've probably already heard of, like Freshly and Green Chef.
While you technically can be gluten-free while using popular meal deal services like HelloFresh, Factor, and Blue Apron, their options are more limited, and they also have cross-contamination risks. Depending on the severity of any potential allergies, you'll want to go for one of the options below that is certified to be gluten-free.
See below for the nine best gluten-free meal kits and delivery services.
