Yes! Marley Spoon has ready made meals, bought in packs of 2, that are single serve and heated in the microwave. You will have to sign up for the two-person plan, though. But when you purchase the 2 serving plan you will have plenty left over for lunch or dinner the next day.
Marley Spoon meals serve 2 people or 4 people. If you are single, we recommend selecting the 2 person plan and having leftovers for lunch or dinner. Or you can choose the ready made meals that are single serve.
If you are a family of 3, we recommend either choosing the 2 person meal and adding a side or extra protein, depending on your appetite or choosing the 4 person plan and having some leftovers.
With Marley Spoon, you can select 2, 3, or 4 meal kit recipes each week. In addition, you can select more recipes and addon’s in the Market.
Yes! Recipe cards are included by default in your Marley Spoon box. You can opt out of paper recipe cards in your online account. You can also print recipes from your account or use the app.
We’ve made and reviewed Martha Stewart and Marley Spoon meal kits several times and really enjoy them. Compared to other meal kits we find Martha Stewart’s recipes to include more globally-inspired dishes with quality ingredients.

We loved the Garlic-Herb Shrimp and Broccoli. This dish was easy to make and came together in around 30 min.
This meal tasted like shrimp scampi but without pasta, making it perfect for a light, healthy summer meal. Yum!
The Beef Bibimbap with Shiitake Mushrooms & a Fried Egg on top. This recipe was labeled as a 20 min meal kit on the Marley Spoon site and we found it to take around 30 minutes to complete for the 4 serving meal.
We loved this dish as it was topped with a slightly sweet, slightly spicey Gojuchang sauce, sesame seeds for crunch, and a rich fried egg on top. The garlicky spinach and mushrooms had an earthy flavor and paired well with the beef.
We loved this dish! It was easy to prepare and packed a lot of complex flavors. New customers get 56.4% OFF Your First Order and $20 OFF Your Next 3 Orders >>
The Cottage Pie with Grass-Fed Ground Beef topped with Scalloped Potatoes. This dish, similar to a Shephard’s Pie, is filled with peas, carrots, onions, and ground beef in Worcestershire and thyme sauce.
The star of the plate was the cheesy scalloped potatoes!
This meal was perfect on the cold rainy night that we prepared it. It was rich, filling, and comforting.
The Orange-Ginger Shrimp with Charred Green Beans and Rice tasted just as good as take-out but WAY healthier. This dish was packed with ginger and orange flavor.
The meal kit included 5oz of shrimp per person and 1/4lb of green beans per person making for a filling meal loaded with protein and vegetables.
Every time we have ordered Marley Spoon meal kits, our ingredients arrived fresh and lasted until we cooked the last meal around 5 days later.
I recommend cooking fish/seafood dishes first and meals with salad greens and herbs as those will be the first to spoil in the fridge.
We are a family of 3 and there was plenty of food for us in the 4-serving meal kits. These recipes could easily serve 4 adults.
The box, liner, and inner box are recyclable. The empty ice packs and plastic bags Marley Spoon says can be recycled, but we do not recycle #4 plastics in our area.
I would be happy to have all of my ingredients in 1 bag or no bag at all versus all of the individual plastic bags reducing waste and potentially reducing costs.
Recipes are included in your box. Instructions were easy to follow and the skill level required, in our opinion, would be mid-level.
The recipes do require prepping, chopping, and several pans, but the step-by-step instructions walk you through everything.
We loved the tip around putting the sheet pans in the oven while it is preheating so that the french fries come out nice and crispy. This is something that we will continue to do with homemade fries and other crispy baked veggies. New customers get 56.4% OFF Your First Order and $20 OFF Your Next 3 Orders >>
We are a family of 3 and ordered the 4 serving meal kits this week. These offered plenty of food with leftovers for lunch. We have purchased the 2 serving meal kits in the past and added a vegetable side or salad to add a little more to the meal.
I would recommend doing either if you are a family of 3 or a family of 4 with 2 young children but would note that when you purchase the 2 person kit you will have much smaller portions of protein and might be fine on carbs like rice and pasta.

The newest edition to the Marley Spoon menu is Ready Made prepared meals. These meals, labeled as Ready to Heat, offer customers a quick and convenient meal option when they are in a hurry or don’t have time to cook.
Currently, there are 2 Ready Made meals on the menu each week.
Ready Made meals heat up in the microwave or oven and can be ready to eat in around 3-5 minutes.
Each meal is a single serving, but you do have to buy 2 servings during checkout.
These meals are the same price as the Marley Spoon meal kits.
Marley Spoon notes that these meals can be frozen for up to 2 months if needed and recommend adding 1-2 minutes to the microwave time when cooking.
We tried the Middle Eastern Kofta and really enjoyed the bold flavors and how easy these meals were to heat up in the microwave.
They tasted fresh and were very filling, weighing in at over 10 oz. New customers get 56.4% OFF Your First Order and $20 OFF Your Next 3 Orders >>
Martha Stewart and Marley Spoon truly bring the joy of cooking into your home with a variety of flavor-packed meal kits with trusted recipes by Martha Stewart and quality seasonal ingredients.
We love the unique and flavorful recipes that are found in Marley Spoon meal kit recipes. In general, these recipes are more complex than other meal kits on the market and offer a wide range of international flavors, pushing you outside of your normal dinner routine.
The recipes from Marley Spoon were easy to follow, provided enough food to feed our family of 3 with leftovers, and tasted great. We also love all of the add-on items like proteins and desserts as well as seasonal/Holiday recipes.
And while Marley Spoon is not the cheapest meal kit option compared to other meal kits, the quality, and variety of the recipes and ingredients, it’s definitely worth a try. They are also not the fastest and easiest meal kit recipes to make, but the flavor of the end product, we’ve found, is well worth it.
Marley Spoon Ready Meals are a convenient option for those who want flavor-packed, high-quality meals from Martha Stewart, but are short on time. These prepared meals are in line with others when it comes to price per serving and has slightly larger portions than most prepared meals that we’ve seen.
Marley Spoon, like most meal kit companies, offers new customer promotions which makes trying them out fairly inexpensive. New customers get 56.4% OFF Your First Order and $20 OFF Your Next 3 Orders >>
