Rooted has been on the meal kit market for almost five years now. Established in 2017 in Calgary, the company delivers vegetarian and vegan meal kits in Alberta and plans to expand to other provinces soon. You can contact the company representatives to see when the company will become available in your area.
Rooted is not registered with the Better Business Bureau and does not have a rating there, but the customers rate it very highly on Google with five stars out of 5.
Rooted Meal Plans and Menus
As a Rooted customer, you can subscribe to either of these two meal plans:
- The “Peas in a Pod” Box. This is the best option for two adults. You will get three large dinners a week, and you can also expect to have leftovers.
- The “Bunch of Carrots” Box. This one will feed a family of four adults, or two adults, and three or four children (depending on age and appetite). Rooted meals are kid-friendly!
For each plan, you can see a weekly menu for up to three weeks in advance of all recipes you will be receiving. You can see the prices per serving, total prices for one week, and the shipping fees in the table below.
Many people like the sauces that come with Rooted meal kits. They have become so popular that the company has actually begun selling them separately. You can order Butternut Truffle, Cauliflower Alfredo, Tomato, or Okra Cheese sauces individually, or order a Sauce Variety Pack.

For now, Rooted meal kits are limited to Alberta residents. We hope that the company is going to expand their services to more provinces soon. Usually, Rooted delivers on Tuesday to your home address. You don’t have to sign for your delivery, and you don’t even have to be at home. In the event that your Rooted box is lost or stolen, you can alert customer service, and the company will either send you a new box or issue credit for your next order.

You can get in touch by phone, by email, or on social media via Facebook Messenger or Instagram Direct.

For this section of our review, we wanted to gain an insight into what people who have ordered Rooted Meal Prep kits in the past thought about their experience. Furthermore, we wanted to learn how that feedback compares to reviews of the company’s competitors. We went through hundreds of online reviews of different meal kit companies and marked them as positive, negative, or mixed. Next, we singled out all the different reasons reviewers gave for liking or disliking the company, and compiled them together.
When you look at online reviews, you should remember that most people who leave feedback online are those who were either very satisfied or very unhappy with the service or product they received. At the same time, those who thought that their purchase was good enough and on par with what they expected usually don’t feel the need to share their experience online. This bias is especially evident when it comes to purchases that are made completely online, which is the case with meal kits. This is why we don’t just look at the ratio of positive and negative reviews in our analysis. Instead, we take a deep dive to discover what exactly customers liked and hated about the meal kits they’ve tried.
Distribution of Rooted Meal Prep reviews compared to industry-wide averages
To give our readers an accurate understanding of how Rooted Meal Prep compares to its competitors, we went through all online reviews of the company we could find and categorized them as positive, negative, or mixed. Naturally, we marked reviews written by people who were obviously happy or unhappy with the purchase as positive or negative respectively, and neutral feedback as mixed. Most meal prep companies we review have some negative and mixed reviews. However, Rooted Meal Prep is an exception, as the company has only positive reviews. This is an excellent result that points to the company’s great service, as other meal kit services only have around 70% of positive reviews on average. However, it’s important to remember that Rooted Meal Prep had relatively few online reviews at the time of this analysis, so the situation could change in the future.

Next, we wanted to understand what exactly past customers loved about Rooted Meal Prep service, so we analyzed all the specific reasons people gave in their feedback. We found that many reviewers praised the meal kit delivery service for their delicious food, responsive customer support, and clear recipes. The proportion of people who noted these advantages in their reviews was higher than the industry average in each case. At the same time, we could not compare negative aspects people mentioned in their reviews because there wasn’t any negative feedback about the company online. Overall, this means that people who order Rooted Meal Prep boxes range from satisfied to extremely happy with the service.Positive

Rooted Review: Bottom Line
For all vegans, vegetarians, and those who are interested in trying a plant-based diet, Rooted offers tasty and flavorful plant-based meals delivered weekly to the doorsteps. You will get three recipe cards and all the necessary ingredients to cook healthy meals for two or four people. You can successfully prepare any Rooted dish regardless of your cooking experience because the recipe cards will guide you step-by-step.
If you have never cooked before, it might take you a little longer than the estimated time on the card, but in a few weeks, you will be cooking like a pro!
To prepare the meals, you will need all basic cooking tools, such as pots and pans, knives, and a cutting board. You may also need to already have some common kitchen items on hand, like oil, sugar, and salt.
We hope our Rooted review has helped you make an educated choice! If you are looking for more information on meal kit companies, please use our meal kit delivery tool that will find meal kits in your area.
