When you get home late and are trying to figure out what to make for dinner, it is easy to run out of options, especially if you happen to be even just a little bit tired.
I’m sure you can imagine that having a well-prepared, ready-to-cook meal could come as a real lifesaver in these situations.
Well, imagine no more.
Gobble is one such service that makes this seemingly impossible feat into a reality, and in this review, we break down what this company is all about.

How Does Gobble Work?
Gobble is a meal delivery service that delivers ready-to-cook ingredients right to your home.
The company has a team of chefs that prepare the ingredients; they do all the cutting, washing, and marinating for you so that all you have to do is cook them once they have been delivered. Gobble’s goal is to provide healthy, only-one-pan-needed meals.
They prep for dinners, and more recently have also come up with menus for lunches as well.
To get started using Gobble, all you need to do is register on the company’s website.
Registering an account is easy—just go to the company’s website, and you will find a prominent hanging ribbon where you fill in your details to get started on the registration process.
You will be required to fill in your personal details, address, and other information that can help round out your profile.
(Note that Gobble allows each household to edit their account at any time to customize or render suggestions to the menus that have been tailored for them.)
Once this is done, you can then proceed to choose your meals and check out.
The ingredients you have ordered will then be delivered to you in the shortest time possible. Gobble adheres to a strict data protection policy that ensures none of your sensitive information will ever be shared with any unauthorized persons.
Types of Meals Available
Gobble positions itself as a leading nutritious food delivery company.
With this in mind, the company endeavors to tailor menus that are not only healthy and delicious, but also meet the specific dietary needs of its customers.
Gobble makes this possible by offering a wide variety of menus and meal options. And as we mentioned earlier, the newest development in the company’s offerings is the option of having lunch ingredients delivered, as well.
Notable is that many meal delivery companies in this category focus their attention only on dinners.
Gobble has custom menus for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians—and if you’d like a combination of both, you can choose this option when you are registering for your account, and Gobble will come up with a custom menu for you.
Changes can be made to the preferences at any time with the convenient option to edit your profile.
Gobble also considers food allergies (there are nut-free and gluten-free options available) and whether you are on a weight loss program.
And, as stated earlier, every meal can easily be prepared by the use of just one pan. This saves you from a ton of dishes to do afterward.
Pricing
Gobble has some of the best rates among all other meal delivery companies in the industry.
Although Gobble does not offer a wide variety of plans, I still think it offers the most flexibility, because you can choose a dinner or lunch package.
This is a real power move by Gobble that is yet to be matched by any other such service.
The dinner package costs $11.99 per serving, and you have the option to choose between a two- or four-person serving.
With the initial subscription to this plan, you will get a week of free shipping. Once this period has elapsed, there will be a $6.99 delivery fee.
For this plan, the veggie option is available, and you get a customized box of new recipes each week.
The lunch package is an affordable $5.99 per serving deal that is also available for two- and four-person servings.
For this plan, you also get free delivery for the first week, and as for the dinner package, a $6.99 shipping fee follows once this period is over. Customization of grain and protein options is possible with this plan.
For both the lunch and dinner packages, the commitment is a monthly one.
The good thing about this is that you are free to skip weeks in between and they will be carried over as credit to the next month once you renew your subscription to the service.
