Short answer: AIP meal delivery is a much smaller market than most roundups suggest. When we checked every service's own website in November 2026, Urban AIP was the clearest nationwide option (frozen meals from a dedicated AIP kitchen, about $25 to $29 a meal plus shipping), and Spirited Food Co. sold fresh AIP meals in the Austin area for about $18 a meal. Paleo On The Go and Pete's Real Food, the two names on nearly every list, no longer had an online shop.

In the elimination phase of the autoimmune protocol (AIP), you avoid grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds, nightshades, refined sugar and most additives, so almost nothing in a grocery freezer fits. We read each company's own menus and FAQs to see what you can actually order. We haven't tasted the meals; this compares offers, prices and delivery areas.
| Service | Menu | Price | Format | Delivery area | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Urban AIP | All-AIP menu, breakfast to dinner, from a dedicated AIP kitchen | $24.50 to $28.95 a meal; boxes of 10, 15 or 20; shipping extra | Frozen, on dry ice | Nationwide (UPS) | Main choice outside Austin |
| Spirited Food Co. | Separate AIP menu that changes monthly | Entrées $18 to $23; subscriptions $92 for 5 meals, $180 for 10, $262 for 15 | Fresh | Greater Austin, Texas | Best value in Austin |
| Mealpro | "AIP" 22-meal plan with couscous, rice, peas, potatoes and bell pepper | Not shown on its AIP page | Fresh, shipped cold | Continental US, parts of Alaska, Hawaii, Canada | Not for elimination |
| Paleo On The Go | Site is now a recipe archive | No shop | None | None | Can't order |
| Pete's Real Food | Site is now Chef Pete's journal | No shop | None | None | Can't order |
| Green Chef | Plans page lists no AIP or paleo plan | Not compared | Kits you cook | Not checked | Not AIP |
| Hungryroot | AIP not among the preferences on its homepage | Not compared | Groceries and kits | Not checked | Not AIP |
Prices change often, so check the menu and shipping at checkout before you order.
Urban AIP is the closest thing left to a national autoimmune protocol meal delivery service. Its site describes a dedicated AIP kitchen without gluten, grains, dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds, nightshades or seed oils, so there's no "AIP filter" to trust: the whole menu is meant to fit elimination.
Good for: a freezer of AIP meals for bad weeks, anywhere in the US. Watch for: shipping, which hurts most on small orders.
Spirited Food Co. is an Austin kitchen with Mediterranean, Paleo and AIP menus. Each AIP dish lists its oils and seasonings (avocado oil, salt, garlic, onion and named herbs), so you can check it against the AIP food list.
Good for: fresh AIP meals at the lowest price we found. Watch for: you must live in the Austin area.
Paleo On The Go was the best-known AIP meal delivery company for years. Healthline's review (updated May 2025) listed frozen meals at $20.95 to $28.25 a serving, with a full AIP menu and an AIP bakery. DeliveryRank's January 2026 roundup still recommended Pete's Real Food for its AIP filter and a 10-meal frozen AIP bundle.
When we checked both websites on November 9, 2026, neither had a shop. Paleoonthego.com is now an archive of 382 AIP and paleo recipes and articles, and its About page says there is "nothing to subscribe to, nothing to buy." Petesrealfood.com is now Chef Pete Servold's journal and links to that archive. Neither site says whether meal sales will return, so if you came looking for the 30-day AIP program, you can't buy it there today. The recipes are still worth browsing.
A meal can be paleo, gluten-free and "anti-inflammatory" and still break AIP elimination:
Mealpro shows why the word "AIP" isn't enough. Its AIP plan lists couscous, white rice, green peas, red potatoes, bell pepper and yogurt crema, and the page calls them maintenance-phase meals. Whatever that means to Mealpro, they don't fit AIP elimination.
Green Chef and Hungryroot appear in AIP roundups too. DeliveryRank's top AIP pick is a Green Chef kit where you leave out the Roma tomatoes yourself. That works if you like cooking, but you're still checking every ingredient, which is the job most people want delivery to take over.
Before you order, ask: Is there a dedicated AIP menu? Are spices named? Which oil is used? What does shipping add?
Not sure if a dish is AIP? Ask Nuri, the AI companion in Nutrtion.io. It knows your plan and the foods you avoid, so you can share an ingredient list or ask "Is arrowroot AIP?" before you order. On iPhone and Android, with a free trial.
These figures use only the prices we checked on each company's site. Urban AIP shipping is extra and depends on where you live.
| Service | How much you order | Per 4 weeks |
|---|---|---|
| Spirited Food Co. | 5 meals a week, subscription + delivery | $419.96 |
| Spirited Food Co. | 10 meals a week, subscription + delivery | $819.96 |
| Spirited Food Co. | 15 meals a week, subscription + delivery | $1,147.96 |
| Urban AIP | One 10-meal box, bought once for flare weeks | $245.00 to $289.50 + shipping |
| Urban AIP | 10 meals a week, with the 5% subscription saving | $931.00 to $1,100.10 + shipping |
| Urban AIP | 20 meals a week, with the 10% subscription saving | $1,764.00 to $2,084.40 + shipping |
Few people can sustain delivery for every lunch and dinner. One 10-meal box a month for the hardest days, and home cooking the rest, keeps AIP going without a four-figure bill.
Plan the days you don't order. Nutrtion.io builds 7-day AIP meal plans that leave out the foods you avoid, plus anything else on your own list, and turns them into a grocery list you can edit and send to Apple Notes or Messages in one tap. On iPhone and Android, with a free trial.
AIP is an elimination and reintroduction diet, not a permanent menu. After the elimination phase, you add foods back one at a time, with a few days between each, to see which ones you tolerate. Your doctor or dietitian can help you decide when to start and what order to test foods in.
Fixed delivered meals don't fit this phase. A strict AIP meal leaves every test food out, so it can't test egg yolks or almonds for you. A regular meal brings back several foods at once, so if you react, you won't know which one caused it. Reintroduction works best with meals you control: your usual AIP meals plus one new food added on purpose. Delivered meals can still cover the days you're not testing.
Keep reintroduction clear and simple. In Nutrtion.io, edit your 30-day meal plan to add the one food you're testing, snap a photo of each meal or describe it in a sentence to log it, and ask Nuri what's in a dish before you eat it. On iPhone and Android, with a free trial.
AIP cooking gets hard for predictable reasons: vague labels, the same meals on repeat, pricey flours going stale, and deciding what to eat three times a day. A simple weekly routine fixes most of it:
Shop from the AIP diet food list, pick meals from our 25 easy AIP recipes, and check unsure ingredients with the AIP, low FODMAP and Hashimoto's food list checker. New to the phases? Start with the AIP diet guide or our AIP diet app guide.
Choose delivery when you're in a flare, traveling, recovering or caring for someone, or want the first weeks of elimination to be easy while you learn the rules.
Choose a plan and home cooking when AIP needs to last months, $800 or more a month on meals isn't realistic, or you're in reintroduction and need to control your plate. Most people mix both: frozen AIP meals in reserve, and a plan for everything else.
In November 2026, Urban AIP was the strongest nationwide option we could verify: a dedicated AIP kitchen, frozen meals at $24.50 to $28.95 each, and UPS shipping across the US. In Austin, Spirited Food Co. sells fresh AIP meals for about $18 each. Check each menu yourself, because "AIP" labels elsewhere can be loose.
Not through its own website. When we checked on November 9, 2026, paleoonthego.com had become an AIP and paleo recipe archive with nothing to buy, and the Pete's Real Food site had become Chef Pete's journal. Older reviews and roundups still list both, so check the company site before you plan around them.
From the prices we checked, five delivered AIP meals a week cost about $420 for four weeks in Austin with Spirited Food Co. With Urban AIP, 10 meals a week cost about $930 to $1,100 for four weeks before shipping. One 10-meal Urban AIP box for flare weeks costs $245 to $290 plus shipping.
Usually not without changes. Green Chef's plans page lists no AIP or paleo plan, and paleo-style meals often contain tomatoes, peppers, paprika, eggs, nuts or seed spices. You can adapt some kits by leaving out ingredients, but that means checking every recipe yourself. A dedicated AIP menu takes that work off your hands.
Not easily. Reintroduction means adding one food back at a time and watching how you feel for a few days. Fully AIP delivered meals leave every test food out, and ordinary meals bring several back at once. Use delivered meals on non-test days, and cook test-day meals yourself so you know exactly what changed.
