What’s Unique About Gobble?
The unique selling point for Gobble is time. Which is also the most expensive thing in our lives!
With Gobble, members get access to fresh ingredients to cook tasty and healthy meals at home – in under 15 minutes. Now, these meals were very quick to prepare because Gobble takes care of just about all of the preparation – so, no slicing, dicing, peeling, or marinating etc!
When I cooked my meals it took me about 20 minutes but I would put this down to being flustered in the kitchen which is a common trend for me.
While meal kit delivery services are all about providing access to healthy, good quality ingredients – saving time is the next big component. With Gobble everything is so quick and easy – for real.
It is no wonder that they won the Parents Magazine award for the best meal kit service. Tasty food, expansive menu, and just the ability to pump out a meal in 15 minutes (or so). The whole service is very well-organised, with ingredients being grouped together in meals so it really is a grab and throw in the pan situation.
Gobble Lunch Box
Now, another awesome aspect of the Gobble meal kit delivery service is that they have a new and might I add, excellent lunch box which takes care of your Sunday weekly meal prep for lunches!
No – it’s not just small entrees from the dinner menu that you can chuck into a tupperware box for lunch at the office the next day.
Taking it back a step, Gobble in fact offer two meal plans to their subscribers – the dinner meal plan from $11.99 per serving, and then the lunch box from just $5.99. Their lunch plan meals are such a great idea and perfect for people that want to save money on work lunches and save plenty of time on the weekend preparing them.
The lunch box includes a spread of healthy and tasty recipes that are meant to be batch cooked in about 90 minutes, leaving you with six grab-and-go lunches for a busy week ahead.
The only downside I had with the Gobble lunch box is that ordering is a little confusing at first. Lunches start at $5.99 which is the classic vegetables base, you then select from either premium proteins at an additional $3.99 per serving (your choice of either beef, fish, poultry, shellfish, or tofu) or classic proteins at $1.99 per serving (choice of poultry, shellfish, or tofu).
That’s not the end though, next you need to choose your preferences for starches with your options being none, premium at $1.49 per serving (your choice of either mixed quinoa, premium beans, rice, or potatoes), or classic at $0.99 per serving (choice of either rice or potatoes).
I get that this method helps to provide extra choice and value, while keeping the overheads low for Gobble, but gosh it was a little stressful at first.
Overall, the lunches look really great and are just as simple to cook so the week ahead meal prep is significantly shorter not having to peel and cut so many different veggies.
Plus, if you are like me – the standard of meals are a thousand times better than the plain rice, broccoli and grilled chicken pieces that I have been eating at lunch for longer than I can remember.

How Much Does Gobble Cost?
Gobble pricing is straightforward as they only have the dinner plan and new lunch plan. When ordering the lunch menu, pricing differs depending on how many nights and the amount of people that you are cooking for.
Lunch plan is a little different, with the meals being totally customizable and reflected in the costs. Check out the breakdown of how the Gobble meal plans are priced in the table below.
| Dinner Plan | Cost | |
| 2 People | 4 People | |
| 3 Nights | $71.94 ($11.99 per serving) | $143.88 ($11.99 per serving) |
| 4 Nights | $95.92 ($11.99 per serving) | $191.84 ($11.99 per serving) |
| Lunch Plan | Cost | ||
| Premium | Classic | None | |
| Proteins | $3.99 per serving | $1.99 per serving | N/A |
| Starches | $1.49 per serving | $0.99 per serving | $0.00 per serving |
| Vegetables | N/A | $5.99 per serving | N/A |
| Total Cost Per Week (6 Servings) | $68.82 ($11.47 per serving) | $53.82 ($8.97 per serving) | N/A |
With the lunch menu you have the flexibility to mix and match your choice of premium or classic for each of the proteins, starches, with the vegetables as a baseline. The total costs for the premium and class lunch are just examples to expect, whereas you would save further if you chose to not include starches altogether and if you went with the classic proteins.
In terms of delivery, Gobble delivers to the continental United States with the exception of North Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana. If there are any issues with delivering to your area you will find out when entering your zip code at the account creation.
Shipping costs a flat fee of only $6.99 and for most areas, the dinner meal plan is delivered on your choice of Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. For lunch meal plans, delivery is only available on Thursdays which does give you plenty of time to prep on the weekend – on a day that suits your schedule.
How Long Do Gobble Meals Last?
While the insulated Gobble box helps to keep ingredients fresh during delivery, you can expect your organic ingredients to remain fresh for five days from delivery.
If your Gobble meals include fish or shellfish, remember to prioritize eating these ingredients first and typically within 3 days of delivery.
What Comes in the Gobble Box?
In your Gobble box, you will receive everything needed to enjoy delicious healthy meals for dinner or lunch. With fresh ingredients and most of the heavy lifting done by Gobble, the only thing left is to throw everything in a pan or pot and cook away!
On top of your ingredients you will also receive great recipe cards which are complete with full-color images and quick step-by-step instructions so that you know what to do with the minimal effort that is required for your Gobble meals.
The Gobble box itself is recyclable and environment-friendly with the insulation inside your ingredients will arrive fresh and stay cool throughout the shipping process.
