Factor Meals Review: Menu & Prices

Factor Meals has a large variety of healthy meals delivered fresh. They make every effort to replace less healthy pasta, potatoes, and sugar with healthier alternatives like cauliflower mash, zoodles (zucchini noodles), almond flour, and coconut sugar.

We’ve had several boxes of Factor’s meals and have tried a range of breakfasts, dinners, smoothies, and juices. They offer a nice selection of each, so you have a well-rounded fridge full of healthy food.

While Factor offers a wide range of foods, they specialize in Keto meals having about 14 Keto meals each week to choose from. 

Factor also offer what they call “Calorie Smart” meals which are typically under 500 calories each. They offer about 17 of these meals each week.

You can find about 4 vegetarian or vegan options on the menu each week.

We love the breakfast options, which you don’t typically find in meal delivery service. They have about 8 breakfast options ranging from pancakes to egg bites to frittatas and oats.

I wish Factor Meals would offer non-GMO, organic ingredients with better quality grass-fed, pasture-raised meats and poultry, and wild-caught seafood.

But, they have added cage free, antibiotic-free chicken breast and you will occasionally see organic cauliflower or wild-caught shrimp every now and again. So, you can tell they are making an effort to improve their ingredients, but it’s not guaranteed, consistent quality.

We both loved the taste of Factor’s Meals! For a health conscious meal delivery company, it had some of the best recipes and universally liked meals.

The meals had plenty of flavor, but without being spicy. Factor is great if you want to eat healthy foods without it tasting healthy. 🙂 OK, that didn’t come off right, but hopefully you get what I mean. They sneak the healthy version of everything in there so you may think you’re eating mashed potatoes but its really parsnips. You taste comfort food without knowing its healthier.

The other thing about Factor meal delivery service my husband liked was you could tell you were eating a generous portion of meat. Sometimes the protein gets cut up and hidden in other meal delivery companies, but not with Factor! You can see from the photos above, there is a good amount of chicken, pork, or steak in each meal.

With prices ranging from about $11.50 – $13.99 per meal based on the number of meals per week, Factor prices are moderate in comparison with other similar prepared meal delivery.

All plans charge an additional $10.99 shipping.

While Factor isn’t the most environmentally conscious with their packaging, they have made attempts to make all their packaging recyclable.

The food is packaged in 100% BPA-free plastic containers, but they are not vacuum sealed. They have a thin on top, so they don’t last in the fridge or freezer as their vacuum sealed competitors.

Gel packs are non-toxic and reusable. They are filled with 99% salt water and 1% sodium polyacrylate. If you want to dispose of them, do not put down the drain or toilet to avoid clogging your pipes. Instead you can empty them into the trash, which is a bit of a mess to be honest.

The box insulation (both cotton and brown paper) is made from 100% recycled materials.

While you can skip or cancel your account at any time, Factor now allows you to skip 6 weeks at a time from your account, which is generous and convenient. And, if you contact customer service, they can skip up to 12 weeks at a time.

It’s relatively easy to cancel your account also.

I would definitely recommend Factor Meals to anyone looking for tasty prepared meal delivery service. Factor is best for those on a keto diet plan. While they do have other options, the dietary options are few.

What we liked:

• Fresh, prepared meals
• Great taste
• Breakfast options
• Offers bars and juices/smoothies in addition to meals
• Moderate prices

What we didn’t like:

• Ingredients aren’t reliably organic, grass-fed, cage-free
• Doesn’t deliver to Hawaii or Alaska
• Not many options for plant based diets
