Customers can receive pantry staples along with suggested recipes and corresponding ingredients for quick home meal preparation. While Hungryroot does not have a dedicated diabetic menu, it has a plethora of options that fit into a diabetes-friendly eating plan. However, this does require customers to know which foods and menu items are diabetes-friendly choices. We really like the amount of flexibility that Hungryroot offers. The company takes a personalized approach to meal planning, prompting the customer to fill out a quiz before signing up that asks detailed questions about flavor and meal preferences.
