Sun Basket
- If you don't like the hassle of creating a meal plan, figuring out what you have in your pantry, and going to the grocery store for ingredients, a good meal kit service is indispensable.

- With our foolproof tips, you can get started saving time and making healthier meals for the whole family.
- Here's how to use Sun Basket's meal kit service to make delicious healthy dinners at home.
For the past few months, my family and I have been testing out Sun Basket, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Each week, ingredients arrive at our doorstep, the recipes are easy to follow, and the meals we make using the kit are healthy and taste great. There are also usually leftovers for us to have for lunch the next day.
Based in San Francisco, Sun Basket has only been around for about four years, but the company has grown its reputation by providing clean, seasonal ingredients. The recipes are created by executive chef Justine Kelly who has over a quarter century of experience working in professional kitchens.
Sun Basket is certified by the United States Department of Agriculture as an organic handler, and the company strives to deliver exclusively organic produce. Though that's not always possible, Sun Basket achieves its goal about 99% of the time.
With Sun Basket, there are no commitments or contracts, and subscribers can skip or cancel at any time, which is helpful if you are going on vacation. The service also offers a "100% mouthwatering or your money back" guarantee.
You can choose from a few different delivery plans based on your needs and the size of your family. The Classic Menu lets you choose between 18 different recipes each week, while the Family Menu lets you choose between six recipes each week.
- Classic Menu with three recipes per week for two people costs $71.94 for the first box.
- Classi Menu with three recipes per week for four people costs $143.88 for the first box.
- Family Menu with two recipes per week for four people costs $87.92 for the first box.
- Family Menu with three recipes per week for four people costs $131.88 for the first box.
- Family Menu with four recipes per week for four people costs $175.84 for the first box.
If you like coming up with your own recipes and searching for local ingredients, then Sun Basket may not be for you. Instead, it's for those of us who want to eat healthily but don't have time to search out recipes and go to the grocery store to buy items. It's also a great option if you are just starting out on your own and don't have experience cooking. The directions are easy enough for anyone to follow.
And, just because Sun Basket sends you the ingredients and recipes, doesn't mean you have to make what Sun Basket tells you to make. The meals are incredibly adaptable. So, if there are certain ingredients you don't like, you can change the recipe to fit your tastes. Sun Basket also gives you recommendations for customizing your meal.
Since all of the meals are made in the same facility, Sun Basket is not for people with extreme food allergies or intolerances.
