The service curated a tailored bundle of groceries that kept me satisfied for most of the meals throughout the week, all for just a few bucks more than if I went out and got the groceries myself. It's also a great medium for discovering interesting new foods, snacks and recipes without the pressure to make or eat something you're not in the mood for. Hungryroot makes meal prep for mealtime and snacking super easy and even fun. Hungryroot has expansive options for vegans and vegetarians. I made a paleo Thai chicken stir-fry, for instance, with precooked chicken, a packet of tasty Thai curry sauce and green beans (uncooked) that turned out great and took almost no time or effort. Speaking of the recipes, Hungryroot's are mostly easy, sometimes with as few as three ingredients. You can select full recipes but they're never so complex that you can't use the ingredients in other, often simpler ways if you want. If you've tried meal kits and like the concept but find that you're not always in the mood to make the recipes that arrive, I'd suggest trying Hungryroot. One small annoyance is that you can't cancel your subscription until your order is fulfilled and shipped (generally same-day shipping) so you'll have to set a reminder to cancel typically a few days after you've confirmed your latest order. You can customize your order every week but unless you cancel, it'll continue to send boxes and charge your card. If you sign up for a subscription to Hungryroot you'll keep getting curated boxes of groceries. Screenshot by David Watsky/CNET How easy is Hungryroot to pause or cancel?
