What food boxes are worthwhile?

We have had Hello Fresh and Gousto a few times but have grown a bit tired of them. I do like the convenience of them though so wondered what other food boxes people have used and liked.

We are complicated by needing 3, not 2 or 4 as most seem to do. I am tempted by the pasta evangelist but DH is diabetic and pasta is not great for him.

Figured I would ask here what people like?

Riverford (the veg box company) do recipe boxes too. They're quite generous portions so a lot of people get two dinners plus a lunch or two out of a "serves two" box so I'd imagine you could serve three quite easily (maybe with the addition of a bit of salad or something), or get one of their "family" size recipe boxes which are much less than twice as expensive as the serves two boxes and have some leftover for lunches.

If you're ordering a box there's no minimum spend and there's no delivery charge. Each week there are some vegan, some vegetarian and some meat/fish options for two and I think one vegetarian and one meat family size kits. Most of the kits take 30 mins to cook.

Hi,
As you suggested Riverford, do you happen to have to have refer a friend link/code? I was considering giving them a try and just saw the refer a friend scheme where each person saves £15?

Thanks
Rachel

Feastbox is another one, Simply Cook which just sends spice mixes?

I recently read about Mindful Chef on another thread where the packaging is more recyclable and meals are bought for people in need out of the profits, sounds like the one I'd go for if choosing.

Anyone got a MC code?

We get Hello Fresh but wont bother with the others because they dont do 3 person meals.
I also get Oddbox, fruit and veg are really tasty but an odd shape
