Sun Basket Mediterranean Review

You’ve been thinking of trying Sun Basket Mediterranean meal kit delivery service but, you’re not quite sure. Would it be worth the cost? Will the recipes be easy and taste good? I’m going to give you an honest review. I’ll answer your questions and tell you about my experience. The food tastes so good and is so easy-to-make.

Before I get to this comprehensive Sun Basket review, I want to tell you about Sun Basket and how it works.

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links which means, if you make a purchase, I’ll receive a commission which helps with blog expenses so you can continue to receive FREE recipes but, the price you pay is the same.

How Does Sun Basket Work?

First, you’ll decide which menu plan you want i.e. Vegan, Carb-concious, gluten-free, etc. There are 11 menu plans to choose from. See the complete list below. I chose the Mediterranean for this review.

Sun Basket Menu Plans:

• Carb-Conscious
• Paleo
• Mediterranean
• Lean & Clean
• Gluten-Free
• Vegan
• Quick & Easy
• Vegetarian
• Diabetes-Friendly
• Pescatarian
• Chef’s Choice

Then, you’ll choose between the Classic or Family Menus.

Next, you’ll choose how many recipes you want to receive per week and for how many people.

Then, you’ll choose from the recipes within the mean plan online after you create an account. For example, I chose to receive 3 recipes per week for 2 people for the Mediterranean menu.

The recipes I chose were:

1. Lebanese-style Chicken Breasts with Tomato Tabbouleh
2. Steak Salad with Chipotle Vinaigrette and Charred Scallion Relish
3. Vietnamese Shrimp Salad

You’ll can do this on the Sun Basket app after you download it.

That’s it! Now, you just wait until your Sun Basket arrives at your door. By the way, you have until noon each Wednesday to edit your next order.

Here’s what came inside my Sun Basket!

It came with a Welcome pamphlet and a recipe book. The contents were delivered in 100% recyclable and compostable packaging!

All of the ingredients to make each recipe was organized into one labeled paper bag. I didn’t have to organize the ingredients. Most of them didn’t need to be washed either. Plus, the ingredients are pre-measured which saves time in measuring. However, you do need to cut the produce.

What Happens if an Ingredient is Missing from the Box?

Oops! It can happen. We’re all human after all. You get your Sun Basket and you find that an ingredient is missing. Well, this almost happened to me. I’ll share my story.

I went through my ingredients and thought that the steak to make the Steak Salad was missing. I called them. It’s nice that you can talk to a real human in customer service and not be bound to sending an email or a message. The customer service rep told me he’d credit $10 to my next order. That covered more than the cost of the meal so, I was happy with that.

Later that day, I found the steak in one of the other recipe bags. So, I was the erroneous one here.

Sun Basket Review- Mediterranean Menu

Here are three recipes from the Mediterranean Menu that I’ll review. Two of them are low-carb.

Lebanese-style Chicken Breasts with Quinoa & Tomato Tabbouleh recipe

Here are the ingredients I was sent to make the Lebanese-style Chicken Breasts with Quinoa & Tomato Tabbouleh.

• I made this recipe in about 25 minutes.
• It  was easy-to-make with easy-to-follow instructions.
• The chicken breast was to be coated in tomato paste mixed with lemon juice, seasonings packet and oil. I felt the tomato paste was too bitter and that tomato sauce may have been a better choice. I added garlic powder, which I often use in my cooking and that made it taste more to my liking.
• The Tabbouleh was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed it very much. It was a mixture of tomatoes, a very big cucumber, lemon juice, scallions, oil, parsley and cooked quinoa. The quinoa cooked while the chicken was cooking.
• The Tabbouleh portion was larger than expected and enough for 3 people.
• The chicken portions were normal size.
• Overall, this meal was good. I loved the Tabbouleh and it was simple to put together. The meal was healthy with good portions and easy-to-make.
• This recipe was only 500 calories! You won’t have to feel guilty for having a small (or big bowl) of your favorite ice cream. LOL!
