Store your Sprinly meals in the fridge for up to 6 days until you are ready to eat. Some of the meals may be labeled “eat first” which are best when consumed within 2-3 days of delivery. Most meals will keep for 5-6 days but everything should be eaten within the week it was delivered.
Heat up your Sprinly meal either in the microwave or stovetop, there are instructions for both. It only takes a few minutes to prepare a Sprinly meal since all the cooking has already been done for you!
If you chose a salad option (there is one every week), you can simply pour on the dressing and enjoy.
In addition to working with doctors and nutritionists, Sprinly also has a team of chefs who work to develop new and exciting recipes every week. Each meal is full of organic fruits and vegetables that are prepared in exciting ways.
There are no animal or dairy products used and every meal is completely fresh, never frozen. Sodium and oil are always kept to a minimum and there are no refined sugars or artificial sweeteners added.
Plus, everything is made from scratch and the meals are globally inspired so you will never get bored.
Ordering from Sprinly is super easy. You can choose between 6, 12, or 18 vegan meals to be delivered each week. One “meal” is one portion and there are 6 meal options each week.
On the Sprinly website, you can preview the meals of the week and see what you will receive. The menus for the next four weeks are posted on the site with beautiful pictures so you can preview your upcoming deliveries.
Each Sprinly meal is well labeled with the name of the dish, ingredients, nutritional values, and reheating instructions. There are also fun facts on each box that are interesting to read while you eat. SHOP NOW>>
For our Sprinly reviews, we tried the 6 meal plan and picked one of each vegan meal option to try.
Check out our unboxing video below for more details on how our meals looked when they arrived.
Here is a little more about what we received and what we thought of each Sprinly meal.
The Mushroom and Lentil Burger was hands-down my favorite meal of the week!
I loved the taste of the burger. It had almost a falafel taste and was very filling.
The ranch salad was a nice touch and I didn’t miss the dairy in this dairy-free ranch dressing. SHOP NOW>>
Another favorite meal from the week! The Tomato cakes tasted good and were filling, but were very dense.
I loved the taste of the pesto with lots of spinach and yummy gluten-free pasta.
This pesto pasta with sundried tomato cakes meal was large for lunch and a perfect size for dinner. SHOP NOW>>
This Zucchini Noodle Pad Thai meal had a good peanut flavor, but the zoodles were too watery even when we followed the instructions and drained them.
The taste of the zoodles was ok, but gluten-free noodles would’ve been better.
This was our least favorite meal of the week.
The Enchilada Casserole with “Queso” was one of our favorites for the week!
The enchilada casserole was packed with lots of Mexican flavors that I love.
The “queso” tasted a bit like cheese and was good, but not the real thing of course. And the chipotle salad on the side was the perfect balance for this meal. SHOP NOW>>
Every week Sprinly offers a salad that requires no heating. The Coconut Kale and Quinoa Antioxidant salad this week came with hemp seeds and apple balsamic.
We loved the toasted sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, and raisins as they added a bit of crunch and sweetness to the salad.
One tip, this salad came with a lot of dressing, more than needed in my opinion, and I recommend pouring half on and mixing instead of adding all of the dressing at once.
The vegan mac and cheese with steamed broccoli was the first meal we tried. It came with fresh broccoli florets, cooked elbow macaroni noodles, plant-based “bacon bits” and vegan “parmesan”.
We were super impressed with this mac and cheese. The broccoli was perfectly cooked and a nice, bright green. The pasta was the best-tasting gluten-free pasta we have ever tried. The texture was identical to “regular” pasta and not sticky or gummy like other gluten-free options we have tasted.
The “bacon” bits were nice and crunchy as was the parmesan crumble. In our opinion, there could have been a little more “cheese” taste or possibly some more sauce. The nutritional yeast flavor was good but the overall flavor was a little more nutty than cheesy. However, for a vegan, gluten-free mac and cheese, it was pretty darn good! SHOP NOW>>
The next meal we tried was a maple roasted acorn squash that was served with quinoa, chopped hazelnuts, and some curly, baby kale.
The squash still had the skin on which was nice for presentation but maybe something that could be removed to make for easier eating.
This was a perfect lunch-sized meal. It was very flavorful and the squash, kale, and quinoa were perfect together. I would need a little something more if this was going to be served as a dinner.
However, the taste was incredible, there was a nice amount of crunchy thanks to the nuts and everything was cooked to perfection.
Sprinly gives a fresh salad option each week and this was our week’s salad. There was no reheating necessary and you could really eat it right out of the box. We chose to use a real plate, though, and sprinkle the veggies, tofu, and dressing together out of the box.
The bright colors of the cabbage, peppers, and carrots looked great and they were all super fresh. SHOP NOW>>
We loved the crunch vegetables and the soft tofu. The paprika dressing was very flavorful and also original. The dressing is really what brought this dish to life! We loved Sprinly’s addition of hemp hearts which add some plant-based protein to the dish.
Overall, it was a very tasty, filling salad. The quality was great and the portion was just right.
Kofta is a kind of Indian meatball that is usually made with lamb or beef. However, this kofta was made with veggies and nuts.
The kofta was served with golden turmeric rice, pickled cabbage, vegan tzatziki sauce, and a cold cucumber salad.
We loved the cold cucumber salad with warm rice and kofta. Everything on this dish was incredibly flavorful and paired so well together to make a unique and exciting meal.
To make this on your own would take hours but with Sprinly, it was ready in about three minutes!
The veggie kofta tasted almost identical to a meat-based meatball. The tzatziki sauce was a little watery but it still had a good flavor. The color of the pickled cabbage was beautiful and it added a nice tang to the dish. We can see why this is a Sprinly customer favorite. SHOP NOW>>
Next, we tried a veggie-packed enchilada meal that came with a good sized slice of enchilada casserole and a side salad.
When we received our Sprinly box, the juices from the casserole had leaked out a little bit from the package.
This was the only meal from Sprinly that we had this issue, but, a quick wipe on the outside of the box and we were ready to eat!
The tortillas in the enchilada casserole were very soft and broke apart easily.
The casserole sauce was wonderfully rich and you could really taste the roasted peppers and tomatoes. The vegan enchilada casserole was pretty good.
It was a little messier, so probably a good at-home option. You will definitely love the flavor and all the veggies that are packed into the box! SHOP NOW>>
We were excited to try Sprinly’s signature plantballs and they did not disappoint.
The zucchini noodles were very crisp and fresh. They were thick and could be compared to a fettuccine-style noodle. The marinara sauce had a ton of shredded carrots but they were super soft and barely noticeable as we were eating. It was a great way to add a vegetable without altering the delicious flavor of the sauce.
The plantballs were nice and tender and had a rich, nutty flavor. Two of the plantballs were plenty to fill you up and the whole meal was quite hearty. We love the vegan parmesan on top and wanted more!
Overall, this was an amazing vegan pasta dish that made us feel like we were really eating healthy and enjoying every minute of it. SHOP NOW>>
Sprinly is always developing new and exciting plant-based vegan meals. While many customer favorites are brought back each month, the meal options are constantly rotating and never the same week to week.
Each week contains 6 meals, one of which is always a salad option.
Every meal is organic, dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan.
Sprinly uses healthy, fresh ingredients and makes everything from scratch. There are no additives or artificial sweeteners added, ever.
Some meals may also be labeled “eat me first” which means they are best when consumed within 2-3 days of receiving your box. These meals contain extremely fresh ingredients so eating them first will make sure the flavor is at its peak.
All Sprinly meals are plant-based and considered to be incredibly healthy by doctors and nutritionists. Plant-based meals have been shown to promote heart health, reduce blood pressure and even improve your mood.
Eating meals from Sprinly will not only satisfy your desire for great food, but it will leave you feeling energized, mentally and physically. Pick the meals you want each week and get ready to eat exciting meals and feel good doing so. SHOP NOW>>

Sprinly vegan meals were certainly the highlight of our week. The meals were fresh, delicious, and very easy to make. Everything took less than 5 minutes to prepare and the ingredients were clearly high quality.
Each dish was unique and the variety between the boxes kept mealtime interesting. We loved all of the plant-based creations and we were very impressed with the creativity in each meal.
If you are looking to add more veggies to your daily routine or if you want to follow a healthy, plant-based diet, Sprinly is a great choice for you. While the meals are on the expensive side compared to other prepared meal services that we’ve reviewed, the quality of the meals is very high.
We wish that there were more than 6 meals to choose from each week and hope that as Sprinly grows they will add more meal options and expand delivery to the West Coast.
We recommend Sprinly vegan prepared meals for anyone looking for tasty, healthy, plant-based meals for lunch or dinner and those wanting an easy way to add plant-based meals to their diet with ease.
With each box, you get a week’s worth of dinners or lunches that are healthy, fast to make, and really do taste good. Give Sprinly a try and let us know what you think! SHOP NOW>>
