Best Meal Kit Delivery Services for Date Night

All of HelloFresh’s dinner kits are chef-curated and ingredients come straight from the farms. That means you get fresher produce, fun recipes, and a chance to experiment a new recipe with someone special.

The Classic 2-Person Box is filled with seasonal ingredients, proteins (including meat and fish), balanced grains and flavor. They like to combine traditional favorites each week with new, adventurous recipes so that you can get the best of both worlds.

Some of the recipes you could enjoy for your date night in include: Seared Steak and Nectarine Salad, Pork Chops with Broccolini and Sweet Potato, Pan Seared Salmon with Fresh Snap Peas, and a Charred Barbecue Chicken.

All of their Classic Box recipes range from Level 1 to Level 2 in difficulty – so they’ll never be too hard to complete over a glass of wine or good conversation. And, most are ready from start to plate in about 30 to 40 minutes.

A Few Details about this Service:

The Classic 2-Person Box starts at $11.50 per serving for three meals and two servings per meal each week. There is free shipping too.

PeachDish brings Southern flare to your date nights at home. With PeachDish, you can choose between their seasonal favorites or weekly options – giving you the opportunity to repeat a few favorites.

Each recipe from PeachDish will highlight the Southern Culinarian behind the flavors and techniques. Even better, PeachDish provides some of their own signature ingredients – including PeachDish Salt – an all-purpose salt used by artisans in the area.

Just a few recipes you could enjoy for your date night include: Chicken Fundido with Squash and Polenta; Roasted Baby Beets with Figs, Goat Cheese and Green Beans, and Tomato Pie with Vidalia Onion and Herbed Chicken Breast.

PeachDish recipes can take a little longer, but they still are fairly easy to prepare and the results are more restaurant-like – which is perfect when you’re eating in.

Menus ship out weekly and with PeachDish, they do their pricing a little differently. Instead of a weekly plan, you can pick as many meals as you want.

A Few Details about this Service:

PeachDish charges $12.50 per serving, but the more you order, the lower the serving price can go – as little as $11.25 per serving. Shipping is free to most regions, but there are a few areas that may be charged $15 for their box.

Terra’s Kitchen is another meal kit service that is all about farm fresh and sustainable living. That is why they curate their ingredients from some of the finest farms and distributors in the area – and they promote the support of local growers.

When you order Terra’s Kitchen for your date nights, you’ll have a long list of menus to impress. Just some of the recipes you could use to impress your date include: Skinny Mediterranean Pasta (a low calorie, vegetarian pasta with lemon and whole wheat penne); Grilled Strip Steak with Corn and Radish Salad (a gluten-free dish with grilled steak, radishes, raw corn and a spicy jalapeno dressing); Grilled Lamb with Pan-Roasted Asparagus (a gluten-free dish with olives, tomatoes, lamb loin, parmesan, smokey tender asparagus and more).

Some of the dishes from Terra’s Kitchen can take as much as an hour to complete – but most fall between 30 minutes and 45 minutes. That is because Terra’s Kitchen does a lot of the chopping and prep work – so all you have to do is toss in the ingredients.

A Few Details about this Service:

Terra’s Kitchen doesn’t do plans. Instead, they charge per serving. The serving price will depend on your dish, but for some of the more date-worthy dishes, you can expect to pay $10.99 to $17.99 per serving. As long as you order more than $64.99, you will get free shipping too.
