Nutribees

What's in the box: A chilled delivery of individually prepared, ready-to-heat dishes chosen from a rotating menu of more than 100 recipes.

Nutribees is an Italian service that delivers ready-made meals rather than a classic meal kit. There is no chopping or cooking involved: dishes arrive already prepared and only need reheating. The company has been running since 2017 and advertises free refrigerated delivery throughout Italy, with deliveries on Tuesday through Saturday. The menu has more than 100 recipes, and you can either set up a weekly plan or place a one-off order, so you can try it without signing up for a subscription. If you are not sure what to choose, a free nutrition questionnaire suggests dishes based on your needs. The whole service is built around balanced, healthy eating rather than indulgent comfort food. Nutribees also accepts Italian meal vouchers (buoni pasto), sells gift cards, and has a programme for companies. A separate Premium section offers wellness products alongside the meals. The site does not show prices or portion sizes up front, so you will need to browse the menu to see how it compares with supermarket ready meals or cooking for yourself. If you enjoy cooking, or you want a box of ingredients and recipe cards, this is not the right service. For busy people in Italy who want healthy lunches or dinners with almost no effort, it is a practical and flexible choice.
