This post contains affiliate links. See our Disclosure Statement for more information. The meals in this review were sent to be compliments of Sprinly so that I could sample the service before making any recommendations. All content and opinions are entirely my own.
As much as I love cooking, I also really enjoy trying different meal kit subscriptions. For me, the aspect of trying new recipes and flavor combinations is the most fun, but they are also super convenient when short on time.
Sprinly recently reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in helping them promote their service. I always try a service before making any recommendations.
Below you will find some basic information about Sprinly, the types of meals they offer, the cost, and my thoughts on the six meals that I have tried so far.
What Is Sprinly?
Sprinly is a weekly meal delivery service. Their meals are prepared and delivered fresh. There is minimal work for the customer to do once they receive their meals. Often, it’s simply a matter of heating the meal, if necessary, and adding any dressings or garnishes.
All of Sprinly’s meals are plant-based, gluten free, and free of refined sugars and artificial flavors. The use all organic ingredients, except in rare or extreme cases.
Sprinly does not specifically cater to any other specialty diets, but each meal does note if it’s soy free, nut free, spicy or needs to be eaten first or earlier in the week.
Sprinly’s Meal Plans and Cost
Sprinly offers 3 different meal plans:
- 6 Meals/Week for $109.00
- 12 Meals/Week for $199.00
- 18 Meals/Week for $289.00
You can skip weeks, change plans, or cancel your subscription anytime.
This biggest downside to Sprinly is that they currently only offer 6 different meals per week. They are a smaller meal delivery service and this will likely change as they continue to grow. You are able to select multiples of the same meal.
Sprinly Review
Packaging and Delivery
Because my meals were sent as a sample, I did not receive tracking. My box was shipped using 1-day, overnight delivery. I assume this is their standard shipping as Sprinly uses FedEx for their deliveries and boxes arrive either on Tuesday or Wednesday.
My meals arrived on time, which honestly is sometimes not the case with FedEx in my area. There were 3 ice packs inside the box that were still mostly frozen even though temperatures were near 90°F on my delivery day and my box was outside for several hours. All of the meals were still very cold.
Each meal is packaged in a reusable plastic container with a cardboard sleeve. On the front of the sleeve you will find the name of the recipe, a description, and any special information, including if it needs to be eaten first or earlier in the week.
On the back is the heating instructions, the ingredient list and basic nutritional information. The nutritional facts do not include a breakdown of the type of fats, sugar content, or vitamins and minerals.
There is a note near the nutrition facts that Sprinly is mindful of the sodium content. You may want to add salt and pepper depending on your own personal tastes.
Pasta Primavera with Gluten Free Pasta and Cashew Parm
This pasta primavera dish was the only one of my six meals that said to eat it first. It is also noted that it is soy free.
The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. While I liked the overall flavor of the sauce, this is the one meal that I felt could benefit from a little added salt.
The cashew parm crumbles where a nice touch. In my opinion, they didn’t really taste like Parmesan cheese, but they were pretty flavorful and added a little more texture to the dish.
I found this meal to be more than enough and very filling. For me, it could easily be two meals.
The basic nutritional information for this meal is:
- Calories: 501
- Protein: 18 grams
- Carbohydrates: 89 grams
- Fiber: 13 grams
- Fat: 9 grams
- Sodium: 283 milligrams
Zucchini Noodle Pad Thai with Baked Tofu
This Pad Thai was much lighter than the previous meal, due to the use of zucchini noodles rather than pasta. It was marked to eat this dish earlier, but still very fresh and flavorful even a couple of days after I received it.
I absolutely loved the flavor of the peanut sauce and crunchy texture of the peanut garnish. There was plenty of tofu and even though it’s definitely a lighter dish, I still found it to be the perfect size for lunch.
The basic nutritional information for this meal is:
- Calories: 296
- Protein: 15 grams
- Carbohydrates: 22 grams
- Fiber: 8 grams
- Fat: 16 grams
- Sodium: 313 milligrams
Blackened Eggplant with Jasmine Rice and Tzatziki
I really don’t like eggplant, so I was fully expecting to not love this particular recipe. However, of the three meals that I had tried up to this point, this one was the most flavorful.
It’s based off of a Middle Eastern dish called Baingan Bharta and the flavor of the traditional spices really comes through in the sauce. Even though I am not a fan of eggplant, I believe it’s the fact that this sauce was so flavorful that made it really enjoyable for me.
I also really liked the chewy, sweet goji berries, the crunchy almonds and how well the tzatziki complimented the dish.
The only negative is that the rice was pretty dry and crumbly. I’m not sure if packaging it differently would be helpful. Rice can be a bit tricky to store and reheat after it’s been cooked.
Again, this meal was very large and could easily be two meals if a second serving of rice was prepared.
The basic nutritional information for this meal is:
- Calories: 425
- Protein: 11 grams
- Carbohydrates: 71 grams
- Fiber: 15 grams
- Fat: 16 grams
- Sodium: 516 milligrams
Almond Ginger Quinoa Bowl with Roasted Sweet Potato and Sliced Apples
The packaging for this meal was a bit of a mess, but it’s probably my fault for taking a photo of it upright. Since it’s a bowl-style meal, it gets all mixed together anyway.
This meal is made up of so many of my favorite flavors – quinoa, sweet potatoes, apple, almond and ginger. I knew immediately that this was going to be one of my favorite meals in the bunch.
The almond ginger dressing was like the icing on the cake – so flavorful and it really complimented all of the ingredients perfectly.
I did notice that kale was included in the list of ingredients, however, I only saw a couple of tiny pieces of green leaves that I assume was kale. This wasn’t a big deal to me. It’s possible that if there was more kale, it would get wilted from the other ingredients.
The basic nutritional information for this meal is:
- Calories: 453
- Protein: 10 grams
- Carbohydrates: 79 grams
- Fiber: 13 grams
- Fat: 10 grams
- Sodium: 288 milligrams
Chili con Queso with Fajita Crumble and Rice
The chili con queso part of this recipe is amazingly delicious. I absolutely loved it.
I had never had a lentil and walnut based “meat,” but found it to be pretty flavorful. Again, it could possibly use a little salt, but once it was mixed with the chili, it wasn’t as noticeable.
As with a couple of the other dishes, this meal was too big for me to eat in one sitting. For two servings, I would say that an additional serving of rice would be needed. And, once again, the rice was dry and crumbly.
The basic nutritional information for this meal is:
- Calories: 606
- Protein: 28 grams
- Carbohydrates: 107 grams
- Fiber: 36 grams
- Fat: 13 grams
- Sodium: 571 milligrams
Citrus Detox Salad with Beets and Fresh Oranges
While I tasted part of this meal, I let my husband have this one. He loves beets and I just can’t make myself like them even a little bit.
This was actually the last meal that I prepared and the lettuce was still perfectly fresh and crisp even on day 6.
I loved the citrus dressing, but would definitely recommended testing it before pouring it onto the salad. I would have added a pinch of salt and pepper to it.
My husband fully enjoyed this salad exactly as it came, though.
