eMeals vs Meal Kit Companies

How is eMeals different than Meal Kits?

What’s the difference between eMeals and a meal kit? 

With simpler recipes, easier grocery shopping, less food waste, and more convenience, eMeals differs from meal kits in a variety of ways. 

Variety of Meal Plans 

With 15 different meal plans to choose from, eMeals gives you more meal inspiration than a typical meal kit. For even more inspiration, you can choose recipes from over 45 bonus collections, 52 special occasion plans, and weekly Top Trending Meals. Our recipes are created with busy people like you in mind. That’s why we make sure that most of our meals can be made in about 30 minutes with simple ingredients. Plus, you don’t have to limit yourself to what fits inside a box. With eMeals, you can add as many meals as you want for the week.  


Customizable Shopping Lists 

Every recipe is customizable to fit your family’s dietary needs, preferences, and allergies with eMeals customizable shopping lists. When you add a meal, eMeals automatically creates a detailed shopping list with all the ingredients. From there, you can choose your preferred brands, quantities, and even prices to control costs. Simply filter out ingredients by removing items you don’t want or already have to eliminate food waste by only buying what you need. With eMeals, you’re not confined to prepackaged ingredients in a box—you can easily substitute any ingredients to personalize all your meals.  


Grocery Pickup and Delivery Options 

Most meal kits are transported in a hot delivery truck and delivered weekly or monthly in a cardboard box. There’s no waiting game with eMeals. Once you add meals, just send your shopping list over to one of our multiple grocery partners to get instant gratification with easy grocery pickup or delivery. We want the grocery shopping process to be as convenient as possible, so we partner with local stores near you to handle your grocery order within minutes. You can even place multiple orders with different retailers if you prefer to get specific ingredients from certain stores. 



Best idea ever 
Love love love this app. I was ordering meal kits but this is less money and no wasteful packaging / shipping. This makes preparing healthy meals so easy and way less stressful!

This app has saved my husband and I from having the dreaded ‘what’s for dinner’ question every night after long days of work. We haven’t had anything we haven’t liked and this includes our 4 kids, who are picky eaters, and a husband who is gluten free. So many options and best of all no walking around the grocery isles looking for food to make the recipes! Pick your meals, send to Walmart, select only what you need, add toilet paper or other items as needed, and pick up next day on way home.. so amazing
