Dinnerly meal kits were launched by Marley Spoon in 2007. As the self-proclaimed “most affordable meal kit in Australia”, Dinnerly offers convenience and quality ingredients at a cheaper price.

Dinnerly offers two plans: 2-person and 4-person box. For each of them you can choose from 3, 4 or 5 meals per week.

My Dinnerly meal kits experience
Meal options
- There is some variety but not as much as in HelloFresh or Marley Spoon
- There are few gluten-free lower-carb options (my preference)
Packaging
- Produce and pantry items are not packaged separately by recipe. This is good from a sustainability perspective (less packaging), but makes the cooking process a little harder.
- Meat, dairy, etc. come in a separate bag with ice packs to keep them fresh
Recipes and instructions
- Recipes don’t come printed out. Again, a point for sustainability but a point against ease of cooking.
Taste and portion size
- Most recipes tasted great
- Portion sizes were not consistent, with some meals being fairly small and some regular-sized
