8. Best Budget-Friendly: Mosaic
Pros: More affordable, variety of options
Cons: Paper cups may not be recyclable near you
Mosaic’s family portions start at just $5 per serving, making it one of the most affordable options on the list. Crafted by chefs, the plant-based menu contains veggie bowls, soups, oat bowls, and family-sized bakes crafted without added sugars or artificial ingredients. Delivered to your door weekly, every item contains at least four veggies, maximizing the biodiversity of your meals.
While low-carb eaters may struggle to find enough options, it’s possible to filter out high-protein recipes and allergens like dairy, eggs, nuts, and wheat. The hardest part will be deciding what to try first; roasted garlic cauliflower soup, butternut squash risotto, or beet bourguignon.
Sustainability & Quality: Mosaic sticks to frozen meals because they create less manufacturing waste and help buyers reduce their risk of food waste. This commitment to sustainability continues with the packaging with a curbside recyclable box, lining papers, boxes, and trays (though you’ll need to give these a rinse). You’ll likely need to make a trip to your local grocery store or recycling center to recycle the plastic film on the trays.
Cost: From $5 per serving, minimum $70 spend
