Do you have a hard time coming up with healthy recipe ideas and buying the items you need at the grocery store? If you do, Sun Basket food delivery service is a great solution for you. You can get fresh ingredients that come with a simple-to-follow recipe. Each week, the recipes are inspired by a different region, and the meals taste incredible.
4 Reasons You Should Start Cooking Healthy Meals With Sun Basket Food Delivery
Although you can choose from many food delivery services, Sun Basket stands out for many different reasons. Check out four reasons why Sun Basket can help you start cooking healthy meals.
Reason 1: Fresh Ingredients
When you order meals, you get fresh, healthy ingredients delivered right to your doorstep. Does grocery shopping take you forever? Instead of wandering down aisles in the produce section, you can receive all the vegetables you need for the meals you’ll cook.
Since you save time on grocery shopping, you won’t mind the extra prep time. To make things easier, the produce for each meal is separated into a different brown bag. You can immediately recognize what you need for your meal.
All of the produce we received was in excellent condition. Since the meat could last five days until after its arrival to be cooked, I waited several days to cook some of the vegetables. All of the vegetables remained in great condition, even though some of it stayed in my refrigerator for days before cooking.
Another nice feature is that the recipe selections encourage you to be more adventurous with your taste buds. While I wouldn’t usually eat swiss chard, I discovered that it paired well with red meat.
If you find yourself stuck in a recipe rut, chances are good that you aren’t eating the healthiest you could eat. With a food delivery service like Sun Basket, you can try out new ingredients to discover different ways to integrate awesome, delicious produce into your diet more frequently.
Reason 2: The Opportunity To Learn About Other Cultures
Sun Basket has a Globetrotter program that allows you to collect stamps to participate in a sweepstakes and earn a $15 Amazon gift card. One of the food boxes we tried out was based on recipes from Sicily. Since my maternal grandparents are from there, I enjoyed trying out the recipe. Although I have never been as far south as Sicily, I have fond memories of spending a summer in Florence studying Italian at the Lorenzo de Medici Institute. Having a bit of Italy delivered to my door brought a beautiful moment to my Saturday afternoon.
With fresh, beautiful ingredients, the food looked very inspiring! The dish was the caponata with quinoa pasta. I thought the flavors were well balanced. I enjoyed the basic and simple flavors from the eggplant, tomato, and pasta. For a tangy twist, you add capers, olives, some vinegar, and cheese, while a hint of honey makes it a bit sweet.
I cooked a lot of onions, the eggplant, some celery and other ingredients. Since cooking didn’t take too long, I was able to put this meal together quickly before running out the door for a kids’ birthday party.
The final dish made a perfect lunch. It was very flavorful, fun, and different. Although I wouldn’t usually try a vegetarian pasta dish, the delicious flavors of this meal made it very appealing.
Caponata is a delicious dish. I wouldn’t have tried it without Sun Basket for a couple reasons. First, the amount of produced involved was plentiful. If I went shopping for the ingredients, it would have taken me a long time. Second, since the dish integrates many different flavors, I would have been nervous to try it out to see if my family enjoyed it. Overall, this was one of my favorite dishes to make.
Reason 3: Healthy Meat Selections
When you frequently cook with red meat, trying out a new dish with a healthier alternative can be better for you. Eating too much of any one thing isn’t ideal. With Sun Basket, you can try out different types of meat that you wouldn’t normal use in your cooking.
One of the delicious meals we tried was the Thai turkey lettuce wraps. Ground turkey was a nice change from the ground beef we usually eat. Usually when we cook with ground turkey, we stick to a few simple recipes, such as tacos or meatballs. I enjoyed the flavors of the dish as well as the healthy, paleo-style ingredients.
We also tried out an incredible baked shrimp with tomato, feta, orzo, and mint. I love shrimp, but I rarely make it at home. The recipe was simple to follow. Since all of the shrimp came cleaned, the preparation was simple. With a tangy feta crumbled on top, the dish had a rich flavor that was delightful.
You can be more adventurous with the types of meat you try with a food delivery service. Since the ingredients are all high quality and fresh, the recipes come out nice. Even if a recipe isn’t your favorite or you wouldn’t try it again, you will still enjoy eating it.
Reason 4: Tasty Meal Selections
If you love steaks, you’ve got to order a steak meal. They’re incredible! I tried the steak with red pepper sauce and rosemary-roasted vegetables. If you’re looking for a meal that pleases the whole family, you can find it with Sun Basket. Everyone enjoyed the delicious steak meal.
Both of the steak meals I ordered came with high quality cuts of meat. Since the meat was such a good cut, it helped make the flavor of the meal even more incredible. Usually my husband cooks steak when we eat it because he can get a perfect sear, but using this food delivery service encouraged me to get in the kitchen and follow through with making the entire meal.
With the second steak meal, we ordered the steak and chimichurri and harissa-roasted sweet potatoes. I loved that the meal was easy to make, and I was happy that the entire family loved it. Even though the chimichurri added a unique flavor that my children weren’t sure about, they loved the steak and ate a lot of it. The sweet potatoes went over well too.

I’ve always wanted to try something like this! We have a CSA this year, so we have plenty of fresh vegetables to use. Maybe I’ll try it in the winter months when our crop share slows down and I don’t want to go to the store!
Everything looks fresh and easy – the best combination
Wow, these pictures look good enough to eat. I actually order from a food service twice a month. I will check this one out, I never heard of them before but their food looks delicious!
I’ve never tried a food delivery service but they always seem a little pricey to me. I’m okay to try out a new recipe on my own and buy the ingredients at the grocery store.

I have not heard of these folks yet. These food delivery services have really intrigued me but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
I love the whole Fresh Ingredients and door service. Great way to experience other home cooked meals. I would use this as a gift for someone if they had surgery or someone who just needs a little help like a dad or someone with the kids.
I’m seriously starting to consider a food delivery service. I love the idea of getting a real variety of veggies delivered to my door.
This looks like such an interesting concept. Sadly we donot have such food delivery services out in our place. Especially the globe trotters program. I would love to taste the different cuisines of every place.
