Sprinly Review: A Meal Kit Delivery System
Sprinly is one of those meal delivery services that continues to thrive for a reason. Clean, green ingredients are just one of the reasons its maintained repeat custom since its inception back in 2016.
Sprinly is a great choice for people who don’t have the time to obtain and prepare the ingredients themselves. Many of them have vegan or wellness lifestyles. When you order this company’s meal delivery, you’re given six to 18 fresh-cooked dishes at a specified rate. The Sprinly prices might be slightly high, but its customers rave about the quality of the meals and argue that the cost is worth it.
If you’re considering this service and looking to maximize family time while minimizing cooking time – though healthily, of course – read on for our thoughts on this meal kit company. If you’re vegan, you’re probably gonna love it.

Who is Sprinly Good For?
Vegans: The company provides an assortment of delicious meals that’s perfect for vegans trying to stick to their lifestyle/diet.
People who don’t have time to cook:The meals are preplanned and will save you time slaving in the kitchen.
People who can’t cook:Do your meals look like they could be a part of a Gordon Ramsay “Roast Me” video? Don’t worry, Sprinly offers amazing food that their chefs have already prepared for you. No cooking or prep time is necessary.
People who are allergic to gluten: If you’re allergic to the protein strand that makes up gluten, you’ll be happy to know that its meals are plant-based with gluten-free pasta, rice, etc.
People who want to eat healthier: Some of the Sprinly recipes have no sodium, oils, or sugars. This makes them great options for people who have specific dietary needs.
Who Isn’t Sprinly Good For?
Non-vegans: If you’re looking for any meat in your meals, whether it’s fish, chicken, or beef, then these meals aren’t for you.
If you’re on a low budget: Yes, you do get a lot of meals. However, if you’re trying to budget food costs for whatever reason, then don’t subscribe.
Big Families: Do you have a big family to feed?Then I’m sad to say Sprinly’s deliveries won’t be enough. The meal sizes are very small. The portion size is between 14 to 20 ounces.
People who can cook: People who love to cook and like a wide variety of meals won’t like Sprinly. The food just needs to be reheated. You won’t get the joy of actually cooking it.
How Sprinly Works?
After you sign up for a meal plan and pay for it, the food will be delivered within two days. The website recommends that you order your meals on either Tuesday or Wednesday so you have them for Thursday to Sunday. Furthermore, it explains that Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the only delivery days.

Sprinly Customer Service
If you have any problems with the service, you can easily contact Sprinly via call, text, or email. Customer service responded quickly and politely. They can help you find information on the company’s website and also advise you to check the FAQ section.
Sprinly Cancellation Policy
If you ever need to cancel a weekly meal plan, you need to do so before Tuesday at 11:59 pm EST. This is when the meals would be delivered to you; to not be charged for that week, make sure you meet the deadline. You must contact Sprinly on its website or by email. If you miss the deadline, customer service will try to cancel the order, but there are no promises. If the order has been processed in the system, you have to pay in full for that weekly service. The good news is that there’s a $0 cancellation fee.
Sprinly Alternatives
As you can see from this table, Sprinly is the most expensive company. It has the lowest servings and fewer meal options and recipes to choose from. However, It does allow you to customize your orders, and the food arrives ready-made.
Sunbasket offers vegetarian meals and breakfast foods. Home Chef’s website is a bit more difficult to navigate, and it seems like you have to sign up before you can research its menu. HelloFresh has more dietary options as well. Not to mention, these other services also offer fruit, singular items, and meats. However, you have to cook some of the meals yourself.

Summary
For those that won’t settle for anything other than plant-based, vegan meals, we’d recommend Sprinly. It takes the load off when it comes to cooking for the family and allows you to do what’s most important: spending time together.
What we will say is, though, is that Sprinly is pretty expensive; but isn’t that typically the way when it comes to organic, vegan produce? Meat eaters might say that it’s pointless to pay more for meals when there’s no meat involved. But, really, there’s a lot of craftsmanship involved in curating the perfect vegan meal; and, let’s be honest, no one wants veggies that are coated in pesticides.
You’re paying for quality produce here – it really just comes down to whether you’re prepared to pay for it. Either way, we loved it – 10 out of 10: would order again.
