Meal Plan Options

Martha & Marley Spoon lets you choose from 22 menu options each week, more than most other food box companies. There aren't any specific categories from which to choose, you simply choose the food you'd like to eat that week. In addition to the regular meals, there are optional protein variety packs and pantry staples that you can add to your box.

Menu choices include breakfast recipes and lunches as well as dinner entrees. There are also seasonal options, such as grilled items and Thanksgiving menu options.

Boxes are sent each week on your designated day, unless you notify the company to skip a particular week. Available delivery dates vary according to your region of the country. The cold pack and insulated packaging is designed to keep the box cold until the end of the day, so you don't have to worry about not being home when the box is delivered.

To make it easier, menu items are listed in five categories, Health & Diet, Vegetarian & Vegan, Meat & Fish, Under 30 Minutes and Family-Friendly. Menu items change each week. Recent menu items have included Japanese BBQ salmon with stir-fried vegetables and rice, pulled pork tacos with warm tortillas and slaw, and vegetable pot pie with parmesan herb drop biscuits.

Cost of the Subscription

The cost of Martha & Marley Spoon boxes varies with the number of meals and the number of people you choose. For example, the cost is $62.93 for three meals for two people each week and $98.97 for three meals for four people each week. Shipping is an additional $8.99 per box.

Martha & Marley Spoon currently offers a $80 introductory offer for $20 off the cost of your first four boxes.
