What is Hungryroot?

Hungryroot is a personalized grocery and meal delivery service that makes healthy eating super easy. It sends you fresh groceries, simple recipes, and even snacks or breakfasts based on your tastes, nutrition goals & dietary needs. No meal planning, no last-minute grocery runs, no-stress—just good high quality food, delivered at your door step.

How does Hungryroot work?

As a new customer you will sign up and

1. Take a short quiz to share your favorite cuisines, dietary preferences (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free,nut-free and more), nutrition goals (low-carb, high-protein, low sodium, low cholestrol and more), personal goals (waste less food, try new things, save time etc.) and what kind of meals you like. You also share how many meals, breakfast, snack and desserts you would like for how many days and for how many people. I have shared the sneak peak of the quiz in the video.
2. Get a personalized meal plan based on your answers—think fresh ingredients and delicious recipes in time limitations. Review your cart before your order is finalized, you can swap items, add new ones, or remove products to better fit your preferences.
3. Enjoy the delivery—all your full size groceries and recipe cards arrive at once, ready to cook.
4. Cook easily and make meals that match your lifestyle, or just heat up some of their pre-made meals using pre-cut items.

What I received with Hungryroot

Here’s what I received from Hungryroot based on my food profile, but keep in mind, your groceries might look different depending on your own preferences and dietary needs!

It was a mixed delivery of some fresh ingredients that needed to be refrigerated, some pantry staples, some ready to eat options, snacking, breakfast and dessert options all for some days of the week.

Meals I tried using Hungryroot

Putting meals together was a breeze, I didn't have to stress about time because all meals could be ready in 20 minutes max, using a combination of fresh organic ingredients, prepacked spices and some ready to eat ingredients. Isn't that awesome.

• Roasted Veggie Buddha Bowl - Simple, quick, and delicious! I skipped pre-cut veggies, but chopping took just minutes. A sheet pan bake of sweet potatoes, onions, and cauliflower did the work while I warmed cauliflower rice. Then, I just assembled it all with vibrant veggies and a generous dollop of Lemon Garlic Hummus. So good!
• Herby Chickpea Veggie Bowl - Ready in under 10 minutes! I quickly seasoned garbanzo beans while chopping cucumbers, then assembled with fresh spinach, tzatziki, and pickled onions. Pure nourishment in a bowl!
• Loaded Vegan Baked Potatoes - This anti-inflammatory meal came together in under 20 minutes! I microwaved the potatoes, chopped avocado, warmed black beans, then loaded it all up with salsa. Mild but with a great kick—loved it!
• Arugula, Zucchini Salad with Sweet Chili Dressing and Black Bean Patty - Organic and easy! While the veggie-black bean patties cooked, I chopped zucchini, tossed it in sweet chili dressing, and assembled the salad. The dressing was perfect for my Indian taste buds!
• Tofu Lettuce Wraps with Fresh Veggie Salsa - Low-sodium and ready in 10 minutes! I chopped veggies, seasoned them, and wrapped it all with spiced tofu bites. So refreshing!

Breakfast, Snacks and Dessert from Hungryroot

These made life so much easy as I didn't have to plan school snacks or morning breakfasts for some days.

Blueberry Maple Oatmeal - Low-sodium and effortless! I soaked superfood oats overnight, then topped them with fresh blueberries and Vermont maple syrup. Loved the combo!

Other days we enjoyed snacking and satisfying our sweet tooth on a variety of dates, smoothie, pickle chips, chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cups, fruit chewys, manjo jerky.

Hint: Boost meals with Hungryroot's extra plant-based protein like lentils, tempeh, or nuts.
