One of the perks of trying so many different meal kits is getting to taste a variety of dishes. Sun Basket advertises itself as a “healthy” delivery service option. It offers an abundance of dietary options, such as gluten-free, vegan and paleo; and every recipe is sourced with organic produce and clean ingredients.
I like to consider myself a healthy-ish person, so I was looking forward to trying this box. But after signing up and moving on to selecting my meals, I realized they’re much less fun than the boxes I’ve done in the past. Typically, I’m like, “Oh, a pancetta pizza? Yes, please!” “Creamy, cheesy pasta that probably has way too many calories? Sign me up!”
It’s not as exciting to put salads and healthy food into your box, for sure. But these foods are good for you, so I begrudgingly made my selections.
Each menu option is labeled diabetes-friendly, soy free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, etc. Most of the dishes were either 20 minute meals or one-dish wonders—and if you’ve been following these reviews, you know I’m not exactly the best cook, so I appreciated the ease these promised.
