For those who find cooking at home a burden or simply too time-consuming, we’ve got three tried-and-tested options that make plant-based eating easy, sustainable, and delicious.
Planthood: Planthood isn’t your typical recipe box — it’s a chef-made, pre-prepared meal kit service. Each meal comes with ready-to-use sauces, dressings, and garnishes, making home assembly quick and fuss-free. All sauces are made from scratch in their kitchen, using 100% natural ingredients like vegetables, legumes, spices, nuts, and seeds — with absolutely no additives or ultra-processed foods. You can choose between 3 to 5 meals per week, with servings for 2 or 4 people. The packaging is recyclable, compostable, or reusable, and Planthood proudly sources seasonal produce while supporting environmental initiatives.

Grubby: Grubby offers an ever-growing collection of over 200 plant-based recipes, updated weekly. Each recipe includes a carbon footprint rating, and for every box sold, Grubby donates a meal to a child in poverty through their partnership with 1moreChild. All London deliveries are made by bike, and their packaging is fully recyclable and compostable. They also team up with partners like BOSH! to serve up crowd-pleasers like Dan Dan Smoked Tofu Noodles.

DabbaDrop: DabbaDrop’s menus are inspired by co-founder Anshu Ahuja’s South Asian heritage, featuring hearty, home-style dishes like dal, curries, and seasonal salads. Menus rotate weekly and draw influence from Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, and other regional cuisines. Meals arrive in reusable stainless steel tiffin tins (or “dabbas”), completely eliminating single-use plastic. Since launching in 2018, DabbaDrop has saved over 203,000 plastic containers and prevented 2,500 kg of food waste through their pre-order model and circular packaging system.
