Food delivery in Miami does the trick some of the time, but one can’t survive on restaurant takeout alone. For one, it can get expensive and secondly, it’s not always healthy. Meal delivery services in Miami are the wholesome, sustainable solution for people who’d rather order out than cook themselves, and need to stick to a budget or a certain calorie count—or both. Dishes are prepared by chefs, home cooks and caterers and packaged for easy transport and delivery—from Aventura to South Beach to Kendall. Some meals need to be finished off at home while others only call for reheating. There’s truly something for every palate and dietary need out there, and all you have to do is place an order to have it dropped off at your doorstep.

Affordable, effective and convenient are the tentpoles of this South Florida-based service. Eat Clean offers meals that adhere to keto, vegan and paleo diets, plus a traditional program for folks who love it all. Customers can switch between diets, customize their plans weekly on the website—selecting between breakfast and lunch/dinner options, and decide on the delivery cadence and frequency (typically one to two times per week). The more meals you purchase, the lower the price. Eat Clean often partners with local fitness professionals on promotions so keep an eye on their Instagram for the discounts.

Looking to get in shape? This fit-focused service prepares balanced, low-calorie meals ranging from traditional diets like paleo and keto to a more straightforward way to shred—lean and mean. You won’t find preservatives or artificial ingredients, just wholesome proteins and fresh veggies. The starter plan includes six meals for $6, although, according to the website, the 10-meal option for $109 is their most popular. Shipping is available throughout the U.S.

Based just north of us in Fort Lauderdale, DeliverLean is one of the most comprehensive meal plans in South Florida. Plans can be mixed and matched with prepared meals, fresh-pressed juices and snacks to suit one’s lifestyle. Sticking to meals? Customize your options from more than 150 different menus. During lockdown, DeliverLean introduced a nationwide service featuring cryovac-sealed meals that can be shipped across the country and last up to 14 days.

With his catering gigs and private cheffing on hold, Fernando Oberlin decided to launch Hello Lean Miami. He offers tailored plans to suit a range of dietary needs—from keto and paleo to vegan and low-calorie meals designed for optimal weight loss. Menus change each week but folks can expect plenty of grilled or baked proteins, veggies and complex carbs, like quinoa and sweet potatoes. Plans are available for about $12 a day and orders can be made by calling Oberlin directly: 305-244-0852.

Owned by a husband-and-wife time (he cooks, she oversees the business), MK Takeaways focuses on chef-driven meals at home. The family-style menu reads (and is priced) like something you’d find at a restaurant, with sections for appetizers, entrées and sides, plus daily and weekly specials. And the dishes are portioned accordingly, too: one meal can easily feed more than one person. Whether it’s the gut-busting spicy fried chicken sandwich or the BBQ baby back ribs, each item includes reheating instructions and orders arrive with a sheet pan to ensure you’re finishing things off properly. Delivery is available weekdays throughout Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.

Launched by Nedal Ahmad, the former CEO of local fast-casual chain Pincho Factory, getReal operates as a virtual restaurant from which customers can order healthy meals on the spot. Think of it as a pay-as-you-go service offering lower-calorie dishes you can customize with your choice of protein and a side for about $10 to $13 total. A monthly subscription option is in the works but, for now, food is cooked to order and available for pick-up (9690 NW 41st St) or delivery in certain areas via Postmates.

Around for less than a year, Kendall-based Mind2Body has seen great success with its balanced, home-cooked meals. The high-protein dishes comprise high-quality, unprocessed ingredients similar to what an athlete would eat to fuel their bodies—think roasted organic salmon and cauliflower rice or organic chicken breast with a side of sweet potato. (It’s no coincidence that the company also provides wellness coaching.) Mind2Body focuses on flavor, so while very healthy, meals are also satisfying and taste good. Weekly plans require a minimum order of five meals, though more can be added. Deliveries are made every Sunday and cover from Fort Lauderdale to Homestead.

Ketosis is a fat-burning metabolic state reached via low-carb, high-fat dieting—which can be a grueling process altogether when you’re not sure what to eat. KETO KITCHEN 2GO eliminates some of the guesswork by delivering gourmet, ready-to-eat keto meals made with wholesome ingredients grass-fed beef and cage-free eggs. Sample menus include salmon deviled eggs, sloppy Joe and a peanut chicken skillet. There are two plans to choose from, 15 ($265) or 20 ($325) meals per week, and deliveries are made Sunday through Wednesday in the evenings.

With a slogan that reads “you are what you eat,” Athletics Fit in North Miami is probably best for athletes or people who take their weight and physical conditioning very seriously. Plans are designed around calorie counts, starting at 900 calories intended for folks who want to drop pounds to double that for a more athletic lifestyle. Meals are delivered three times a week for $20 ($5 is refundable if you return the insulated bag the food arrives in) and can be frozen for up to two weeks after.
