The Best Meal Delivery Services for the Mediterranean Diet (2025), Tested and Chosen by Nutrition Experts

For Mediterranean diet enthusiasts looking for a convenient, tasty meal delivery service, Green Chef is one of the best options we’ve tested. While most meal delivery services offer subscriptions and plans for a variety of dietary preferences, Green Chef is one of the few we’ve seen that caters specifically to the Mediterranean diet.

In addition to the Mediterranean plan, Green Chef offers seven additional dietary options for customers, including Calorie Smart, Plant-Based, Keto, and more. Nicole Davis, CPT, PN1-NC, gave Green Chef 4 out of 5 stars for its meal plans and customizations. 

While Green Chef offers meal kits rather than pre-made meals, Nicole found the recipes simple enough to prepare. Most meals took her roughly 30 minutes to complete, earning a 3-out-of-5-star rating. 

“I really like how they have all of the produce, dairy, and spices packed into singular bags for each recipe, while the meat is packaged at the bottom of the box under ice,” says Nicole. “It makes it easier to grab and go when it’s time to cook.”

Some recipes may be more involved than others, but you’re still getting Mediterranean diet recipes with pre-portioned ingredients delivered to your doorstep, which should save plenty of time. 

Nicole adds, “I like that you can add on breakfast options or other items (like cooked meats), and I appreciate  the actual recipe cards versus having to use an app.”

With meals starting at $11.99, Green Chef is competitively priced, earning 3 out of 5 stars for the price per serving. To learn more about this delivery service, check out our Green Chef reviews.

If you’re not interested in a meal kit and prefer pre-made meals, you may want to consider a service like Factor instead.

If you’re a solo diner who’s not interested in cooking from scratch every night, services that offer pre-made meals can be a lifesaver. Tempo, a meal delivery plan created by Home Chef, offers ready-to-eat, nutritious meals that typically take less than five minutes to warm in the microwave or oven. 

Anthony O’Reilly, CPT, CNC, gave Tempo a 4.5 out of 5 on taste, which is one of the highest taste scores we’ve given to any meal delivery service.  

“There was a ton of flavor, and even the microwaveable tamales were pretty tasty,” Anthony adds. “Everything is well-seasoned, and nothing was tough to chew after microwaving, either—like you can get with some pre-made meals.”

The only thing standing between Tempo and a full 5-star score is the ingredient quality, which earned a 4 out of 5 during trials. Anthony notes that while the ingredients and foods seemed fresh, they weren’t certified organic, which may be a dealbreaker for some.

Tempo also earns a full 5 out of 5 stars for its variety, as there are plenty of high-protein, high-fiber foods to choose from. While there’s no specific Mediterranean diet category, those familiar with the plan’s dietary principles should be able to find meals that work well for their needs, such as meals with lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources.

Anthony was also impressed with the portion sizes, stating, “Each meal filled me up, and I’m a larger individual at 6-foot, 3-inches tall. I had one for dinner around 5:30ish and needed just a small snack before going to bed.” Tempo earned 5 out of 5 stars for the portion size.

Despite the lack of a specific Mediterranean diet category, we still think Tempo is the best meal delivery service for singles who prefer quick, ready-to-eat meals. 

If you prefer to cook your own meals and would rather try a meal delivery kit, we recommend Home Chef, the parent company behind Tempo.

For busy parents, keeping your house stocked with healthy foods can be challenging, even if you’re not trying to follow a specific diet. Meal kit services like Hungryroot allow you to skip the meal planning and grocery shopping while still enjoying a home-cooked meal with your family. 

We’ve tested plenty of meal kit delivery services and, in our opinion, Hungryroot is one of the best services for nearly any type of diet, including the Mediterranean diet. The plan earns a 5-out-of-5-star rating for both customizations and variety, allowing users to choose the foods based on their own taste and diet preferences. 

Our tester, Kate Meier, NASM-CPT, USAW-L1, CF-L1 notes, “Hungryroot is completely customizable. You create your food profile with likes/dislikes, preferences, food allergies, and more, and every week you pick what you like, like virtual grocery shopping.”

Kate also gave Hungryroot a 5 out of 5 for taste, so you can trust that the meals you receive will taste as good as they look.

“So far, this is so good,” Kate says. “Everything is so fresh, and you don’t need to do any seasoning because most foods are prepped already for you with spices. If you wanted more salt or whatever, you could (naturally) add your own.”

Hungryroot is also very affordable at roughly $10 per serving, which is cheaper than many alternatives and earns a 4 out of 5 for our price per meal rating.

Our only callout? Perry Nix, a registered dietitian, warns that people with cholesterol issues or anyone else who’s watching their sodium intake might not be the best fit for Hungryroot, as the meals tend to be pretty salty.

If you’re browsing meal kit delivery services and aren’t sold on Hungryroot, Home Chef is another good option that may be worth a try.

If you’re a gym-goer, athlete, fitness enthusiast, or just someone looking to get more protein each day, you know that cooking your meals every single evening can be pretty challenging. Factor can be an excellent option for such needs, providing single-serving meals for a variety of dietary preferences and styles. All you need to do is heat the pre-made servings in the microwave when you’re ready to eat. 

Amanda Capritto, CPT, CES, CNC, CF-L1, CSNC, tried Factor and was impressed with the serving size, which she rated at 4.5 out of 5 stars. “This is the only meal service I tried that had ample portions,” says Amanda. “If these meals can fill up a triathlete in the middle of a tough training block, they can fill up just about anyone.”

Just know that this significant portion sizing can result in some higher-calorie meals, as Factor’s meals tend to range from 350 to 800 calories per serving. Amanda pointed out that this isn’t a bad thing, necessarily, adding, “This wide range in calories makes Factor appropriate for those wanting to lose weight and those who just want to eat more nutrient-dense foods without cutting calories.”

We love this about Factor, but we want to clarify that not all meals are designed for weight loss. 

Regardless of the calorie content, most of the meals were enjoyable to eat, earning a 4 out of 5 for taste. Amanda called them, “Better than OK, but not great.” 

As someone who’s used Factor in the past, I agree. The meals taste fine, and some are pretty enjoyable. Ultimately, though, they still taste like microwaved leftovers—even if the original dish was delicious. 

Thankfully, there are plenty of meal options to choose from, and Factor regularly updates the menu, earning 4 out of 5 stars for variety. There’s no Mediterranean-specific plan, but as Amanda pointed out, most meals should align closely with the principles of this health-focused diet. She adds, “The meals all have the same format: a protein and a side of veggies and/or grains.”

Mediterranean diet plans emphasize vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, so most Factor meals should work very well. 

The price can vary depending on what you order, but it’s not terribly expensive, and we give Factor a 3 out of 5 for its overall value. To learn more, read our full Factor Meals review.

If you’re looking for something a little easier on the wallet, you may want to try a meal kit instead of prepared meals, like Green Chef.

Whether you’re shopping for yourself, you and a partner, or your whole family, Home Chef offers affordable meal kits for a variety of preferences and dietary styles. It offers an exceptional variety of meals, serving sizes, and add-ons—all at an affordable price. 

I tested Home Chef myself and have used it for several weeks, ordering meal kits, add-ons, and individual servings from Tempo, Home Chef’s prepared meal service. 

While Home Chef doesn’t have a specific Mediterranean plan, I still give it 5 out of 5 stars for variety, and several of our other team members who have tried Home Chef agree. There are plenty of meals to choose from a range of cuisine styles, and you can order up to 6 servings of each selected dish, depending on how many mouths you’re feeding. 

Each order arrives with all ingredients individually portioned and labeled, so it’s easy to find exactly what you need when it’s time to cook. However, I’m docking a point for ingredient quality, and I give Home Chef 4 out of 5 stars for the category. 

While most ingredients are fine, a few of the protein portions I received were quite small, and I once received some wilted, droopy vegetables. Most of the time, the food was great, but I was a little disappointed with a handful of delivered goods. 

However, I love that Home Chef sends its recipes on a sturdy, hole-punched page, along with a recipe binder with your first order. Over time, you can build up your Home Chef recipe collection, allowing you to save your favorites and recreate them on your own using a local grocery store of your choosing. 

My biggest callout is the portion size, which I give 3 out of 5 stars, though other testers gave it a 5-star rating. I was cooking meals for two, and often found myself still hungry after the smaller, yet still calorie-dense portions. At 6-foot, 2-inches, I may be larger than most users, but I wish the portions were a little bigger. 

Overall, this is an excellent service for those who want to cook their own meals and try new recipes. If you prefer pre-made meals, though, you may want to try Tempo, Home Chef’s pre-made meal service.

HelloFresh is one of the most popular family-friendly meal delivery services on the market, and for good reason. They offer plenty of variety, rotating menus, and (most of the time) the food quality is very high. 

Destini Moody, RD, CSSD, LD, notes, “I have a confession to make—I, a registered dietitian, use HelloFresh for most of my meals. It constantly gives me new ideas for nutritious meals to make when I’m tired of coming up with options on my own.”

The variety is one of the best aspects, and HelloFresh earns 4 out of 5 stars in this category with rotating menus and seasonal options. This service can meet the needs of nearly any dietary preferences, including Mediterranean diet followers. 

One thing we need to call out is the ingredient quality. While Destini loves HelloFresh, another tester has had some issues with the freshness and only gave it a 3.5-out-of-5-star rating. 

“Despite the name, I’ve had many experiences where my food from HelloFresh wasn’t as fresh as I’d like,” she explained, noting that the typical culprits were the fruits and veggies. “That said, I don’t usually have issues with the meat or dairy products.”

Despite this, HelloFresh offers a wide variety of options, and you can keep the recipe cards to recreate the meals yourself, possibly with fresher ingredients. The excellent portion sizes also earn 5 out of 5 stars, and our tester noted that some of the meals were even too big to finish in one sitting. 

While the ingredient freshness may be lacking at times, we love the variety and low cost offered by HelloFresh. For more, read our full HelloFresh review

If you don’t want to stress over cooking veggies before they go bad, you may want to choose a frozen meal delivery service instead, like Trifecta.

If you’re a fitness enthusiast who follows a high-protein diet, you’ve probably heard of Trifecta, one of the most popular companies in the meal delivery industry. Trifecta started by selling pre-cooked whole ingredients like chicken breast and ground beef, but has since expanded to offer a full range of ready-to-eat frozen meals. 

I’ve used Trifecta multiple times over the years, including several years ago when it was a newer company, and again more recently to test some of the new meals. 

Trifecta’s strength is the ease of preparation, which earns 5 out of 5 stars. All you need to do is toss your meals in the microwave or oven, and you’ll have a ready-to-eat meal in a matter of minutes, which is hard to beat.

Now, the taste can be pretty hit or miss, and I only give this category a 3-out-of-5-star rating. Some of the meals were very tasty, while others were somewhat bland and a little tough and dry after reheating. 

However, I love the quality and access to nutritional information, and award both categories a 5-out-of-5 star rating. Meals are high in protein, use minimal ingredients, and are clearly labeled with their respective calorie and macronutrient breakdowns. 

The biggest issue with Trifecta is the cost, as the meals can be a little pricey. Overall, though, I think this can be a great option, especially for those looking for frozen meals to stock a freezer. You can read more in our full Trifecta Meal Delivery Review.

For those who prefer fresh versus, Factor is a solid alternative that delivers fridge-ready dishes, which may result in a better taste experience.

We love ModifyHealth for two key reasons: it uses organic ingredients wherever possible and is one of the few companies offering a specific Mediterranean diet plan. 

Rather than having to sort through a weekly menu and decipher the ingredients to determine if a meal is Mediterranean-friendly, you can simply choose the Mediterranean plan when setting up your account. 

The ingredient quality earns 4.5 out of 5 stars, too, as most meals are both organic and gluten-free whenever possible. While not all ingredients are organic, ModifyHealth tries to use organic produce as often as possible, but doesn’t specify which ingredients are organic vs. non-organic when ordering.

They’re also delicious meals, according to Nicole Davis, CPT, PN1-NC, who gave this plan 4.5 out of 5 stars for the taste category. 

“These are frozen meals, and I didn’t have high hopes based on the other frozen meal deliveries I had tried,” she says of the flavor profile. “These were the best, by far. I tried an assortment of meals from the Mediterranean plan, which is a lot of fish, and I enjoyed all of them.”

In addition to the Mediterranean plan, ModifyHealth also offers plans for low-FODMAP dieters, gluten-free dieters, and more, earning 4.5 out of 5 for variety.

Nicole noted that some of the meals are on the smaller size and may not be satisfying for larger appetites. However, if you’re looking for (mostly) organic meals that are specifically designed for the Mediterranean diet, it’s hard to beat ModifyHealth. 

If you prefer larger portion sizes, you may want to consider an alternative service with larger meals, such as Tempo.
