Is Daily Harvest Worth It?

How Daily Harvest Compares to Other Top Meal Subscriptions
Daily Harvest VS Splendid Spoon: Each of these is a plant-based, vegan prepared meal delivery service focusing on breakfast and lunch with smoothies as their best-selling items. Daily Harvest emphasizes variety and choice for you to pick whichever items you want in the quantity you want, whereas Splendid Spoon is anchored to choosing to receive 5 items for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, with most people using it for breakfast and lunch only. Prices are very similar, with Splendid Spoons breakfast and lunch plan costing $95, whereas Daily Harvest varies depending on what items you choose from around $75 to $115 for fourteen items. Splendid Spoon only sends meals for 5 days a week, leaving you on your own for the weekend.
Daily Harvest VS Purple Carrot: These are both vegan meal subscription boxes, however Purple Carrot specializes in dinner whereas Daily Harvest is better for breakfast, lunch, and snacking. You might find yourself getting a Tofu Tikka Masala from Purple Carrot, and more likely getting an Acai Blueberry smoothie from Daily Harvest. That said, overall Purple Carrot is slightly more affordable costing as low as $8.30 for dinner vs the $7.99 average price for Daily Harvest items. Together these two subscriptions might make sticking to a plant based diet very easy.
Daily Harvest VS Freshly: Both of these meal subscriptions specialize in convenience, delivering prepared meals that require little cooking time. While Daily Harvest specializes in only plant-based options, Freshly specializes in more standard dinner options for people without dietary restrictions. That said, Freshly does have plant-based options, so if you aren’t fully committed to going plant based, you can mix and match with Freshly. Freshly costs as low as $8.99 per meal vs Daily Harvest’s $5.99 - $8.99 range.
