Whether it is breadsticks, pizza, or fresh pasta, we Italians love gluten in all of its various forms. So when we found out our youngest daughter suffered from celiac disease, we had to rethink family meal time. Instead of serving traditional Italian meals, my wife and I started getting creative with gluten-free substitutes (think spaghetti squash, spiralized veggie noodles, and gluten-free doughs). Recently, we’ve been trying recipes from gluten free meal delivery companies, which makes meal prep a whole lot easier.
Looking for a new way to spice up your meals? Try out these meal services for delicious gluten free meals, without the hassle of visiting the grocery store or meal planning.
1. Terra’s Kitchen
Terra’s Kitchen provides you with ready-to-prepare-meals based on a Mediterranean lifestyle. Though not exclusively gluten free, this company offers many gluten-free options (as well as options for other dietary restrictions) from which to choose. Pricing is on a per meal basis, with recipes that vary from week to week. Gluten-free recipes include:
- BBQ Salmon with Caramelized Pineapple Relish ($16.99 per serving)
- Bison-Vegetable Stew, a unique “fast prep/slow cook” recipe ($14.49 per serving)
- Skillet Lemon Garlic Chicken ($11.99 per serving)
When you order from Terra’s Kitchen, you receive a reusable mini-fridge containing all the ingredients you need to prepare your meals. This package will then be picked up by the company to be reused by future customers. Read Terra’s Kitchen reviews and get the latest discount offer from BoxedMealz.

The classic meal plan offers three recipes per week (serving either two or four people), while the family meal plan gives you two or four recipes a week (four servings each). All recipes are organic and non-GMO, with ingredients grown in California and fish sourced in Oregon. Recent recipes include these tantalizing dishes:
- Vietnamese Steak Stir-fry with Jasmine Rice (Classic Meal Plan)
- Salmon with Roasted New Potatoes and Green Beans (Classic Meal Plan)
- Hawaiian Steak Stir-fry with Broccoli and Pineapple (Family Meal Plan)
Sun Basket ships ingredients in an insulated box and all packaging is completely recyclable or compostable.
