Despite advertising over 100 recipes, there were only 6 weekly recipes to choose from. This is a similar offering to vegan meal kit provider Just Add Vegan, who also offer 5-6 weekly recipes. Some more options would be great to see, particularly if you have selected the 6-recipe meal plan.
Whilst all meals are 100% vegan, there is no menu filter function and limited customisation. Recipes are labelled with key dietary callouts such as gluten-free, high in protein or soy free. Further information on allergens, cooking time and nutritional breakdown is available in the description of each meal.
Just Add Vegan offers meals that contain no added gluten, gluten free, nut free and no onion or garlic and therefore may be more suited those individuals who have more specific dietary preferences compared to Veg Me Up. Prioritising protein on a plant-based diet is crucial to ensuring optimal health. Hello Fresh and Marley Spoon highlight the protein content of their recipes on their menu, making selecting high protein meals quick and easy. It would be great to see the protein content listed on each Veg Me Up recipe tile, instead of needing to click through to the description of each recipe.
All meals are designed to be nutritious and healthy, however Veg Me Up always include comfort meals on their menus to cater to those who are looking to satisfy a craving. Once you have chosen your meals, you have the option to add some plant-based essentials to your box, similar to Just Add Vegan.
