Why we like it: For this testing, I tried Splendid Spoon’s 5-Day Detox, which included vegan, gluten-free soups, smoothies, dishes and wellness shots. The brand also offers a variety of noodle dishes and bowls. While I did not follow the detox plan, I did try all of the included recipes and would say that Splendid Spoon offers tasty, healthy soups and smoothies for vegans. Senior Home and Kitchen Editor David Watsky thought the same after testing the service over the past few years.
At $10 to $13 per serving, Splendid Spoon offers about 30 vegan options per week, in addition to lower-calorie, lower-fat and lower-sugar meals. The smoothies are preblended, while the soups and dishes simply need to be popped in the microwave. For the soups, you do have to run the cups under warm water for about 30 seconds to defrost. Often, it took me longer than that, or I’d simply leave them out on the counter to defrost.
In 2026, Splendid Spoon's detox lineup expanded to include more oat bowls, such as Strawberry Milkshake Oats, Blueberry Almond Power Oats, Carrot Cake Oats, and Cherry Berry Oats, all of which I've tried and can confirm are delicious. Equally delicious are the two new grain bowls: Tofu Teriyaki Veggie Bowl and Purple Grain Bowl.
Who is it best for: Splendid Spoon is best for vegans who want a wide variety of soups and smoothies with some noodle dishes or bowls thrown in. If you’re interested in a vegan detox plan, this could be good for you, but make sure to consult your doctor first.
Who should not get it: Splendid Spoon isn’t the most affordable, with prices up to $13 per serving. The brand also doesn’t offer as many noodle dishes or bowls as it does smoothies and soups, which may be a deal-breaker if you prefer heartier meals and aren’t a fan of soup or smoothies. The service also doesn’t offer options for families.
Similar to Mosaic Foods, plastic packaging could be separated from the cardboard trays, making it easier to recycle the cardboard. Depending on what your local recycling facility processes, the plastic may require store drop-off.
