Marley Spoon’s website is simple and easy to navigate, with 70+ recipes to choose from each week, they have one of the best vegan and vegetarian menus on the market, similar to what is offered by Hello Fresh. Recipes are clearly tagged so you can identify any dietary preferences such ‘dairy free’, no-added gluten’ or ‘40g+ protein’, making the selection process easy.
Despite the appealing menu, Marley Spoon has limited filtering ability – you can only filter by ‘no added gluten’, ‘vegetarian and vegan’ and ‘meat and fish’ when it comes to dietary preferences, and they do not offer gluten free recipes. Hello Fresh in comparison, offers a wider range thanks to their curated meal plans. With Hello Fresh you can select gluten free, pescatarian and even low-calorie meal plans, catering to a wider audience. If you require customised meal plans, I recommend Hello Fresh over Marley Spoon. Whilst the customisation is somewhat limited with Marley Spoon, they do offer a ‘Taste Profile’ that you can complete during sign up. This series of questions helps to identify your preferred proteins and flavours to help you narrow down the recipes you are shown when selecting.
There were so many delicious recipes to choose from – I selected 6 recipes:
- Falafel Pita Pockets
- Fish and Veggie Stir-Fry
- East Plant-based ‘Butter Chicken’
- Chipotle Peanut Tofu Burgers
- Orange and Ginger-Spiked Salmon
- Dinner to Lunch: Thai Tofu Stir-Fry and Rice
Once I selected the meals, I scheduled my delivery for the following Saturday morning at my preferred time slot. All subscriptions are flexible so you can skip or pause your subscription at any time. Marley Spoon delivers to most metro and surrounding areas of major cities in Australia. Delivery dates and times range according to your location.
