Questions families actually ask.
Does BetterDay accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets? +
BetterDay offers both plant-based and omnivore options, and reviewers specifically highlight vegetarian and gluten-free choices as standout features. The vegan menu rotates weekly, though some reviewers note it has become smaller relative to meat options over time.
How does BetterDay deliver meals, and what happens to the packaging? +
Meals are delivered to your door in a cold, reusable bag with an ice pack, so they stay fresh even if you are not home. BetterDay takes back the delivery bags and ice packs, reducing packaging waste for customers.
Can I change or pause my subscription easily? +
Multiple reviewers note that BetterDay's subscription plans are flexible and can be adjusted at any time online. Customer service has also been described as responsive when changes or issues arise.
Are the meal portions large enough for a full adult serving? +
Some reviewers found the portions on the smaller side, with at least one customer needing to combine one and a half to two meals to feel satisfied. This is worth considering if you have a larger appetite or higher caloric needs.
Where can I try BetterDay meals before committing to a home delivery subscription? +
Individual BetterDay meals are available for purchase at Blush Lane locations in Calgary, allowing customers to sample the food before subscribing to home delivery.
How often does the menu change? +
BetterDay rotates its menu week over week, so subscribers do not receive the same meals two weeks in a row. Both plant-based and omnivore options are included in the weekly rotation.
