Things To Love about Sun Basket

via: Sun Basket

As the brainchild of an award-winning professional chef, Sun Basket has a real leg up on its subscription box competition.

1. Incredible Customization Options

More than any other meal subscription service available on the market today, Sun Basket makes it easy to order meals no matter how specific your diet is. They have options for paleo, vegetarian, lean and clean, Mediterranean, gluten-free, carb-conscious, oven-ready, diabetes-friendly, pescatarian, and chef's choice features.

2. All Organic Produce

Everything that comes in your Sun Basket meal kit will be completely USDA certified organic, making it one of the cleanest meal kits bar none.

3. Meal Planning Support

Sun Basket goes out of its way to make sure that you're able to plan meals for any day of the week, and offers robust online support to help you choose exactly the meals that are right for you.

4. Free Gifts with Your Subscription

Right now, new subscribers will get four of Sun Basket's most popular on-the-go snack options completely free. It's a great way to get introduced to everything this awesome company has to offer.

5. No Long-Term Commitment Necessary

You can skip a week or cancel your subscription with Sun Basket at any time, making it one of the most flexible meal subscription services that you can sign up for.

Things Not To Love about Sun Basket

via: Sun Basket

There are just two things about Sun Basket that aren't quite so lovable:

1. On the Expensive Side

With individual meal portions costing between $10.99 and $12.99 for regular subscribers, Sun Basket is one of the pricier meal services out there. Given the amazing quality of every meal, though, we think of this as a flaw but not a deal breaker.

2. Limited Shipping Area

Sun Basket currently only delivers to certain locations within the continental United States. If you're outside of the U.S., you're completely out of luck; anyone in the 48 contiguous states will need to enter their zip code to check if shipping is available to their area.

Pros V Cons of Sun Basket

A top-down comparison of Sun Basket will reveal how well the pros of a subscription stack up against the cons:

Sun Basket Price

via: Sun Basket

This meal subscription service uses a straightforward pricing plan, detailed here:

Image	Subscription Plan	Price
via: Sun Basket	2 recipes per person (4 servings)	$12.99/serving
via: Sun Basket	3 recipes per person (6 servings)	$11.99/serving
via: Sun Basket	4 recipes per person (8 servings)	$10.99/serving

Sun Basket Shipping Breakdown

via: Sun Basket

Shipping availability may be Sun Basket's only real weakness as a meal subscription service. They only ship to certain locations within the continental United States, and you'll need to enter your zip code on their website to see if they can ship to your address. Sun Basket is not currently available for anyone outside of the continental United States.

Sun Basket Coupon or Promo Code

There is no current coupon or promo code for Sun Basket.
