SNAP Express Meal Kits and Recipes

UDSA’s SNAP Express offers nutritionist approved, low cost meal kits and recipes. It also offers a free service that helps participants shop online with their EBT card. Participating store locations may even offer free delivery and pickup options.

Here is how it works:

1. Choose a Meal Kit: meal kits include multiple recipes and show average cost as well as servings per kit
2. Select a grocery store chain: Instacart, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market
3. Buy your groceries online: meal kit ingredients will conveniently transfer to the shopping cart of your selected grocery store.

Follow the recipe! The meal kit contains all the ingredients and instructions participants will need to create meals.

If participants are only interested in new recipes, they can still download meal kits and recipes without utilizing the online grocery ordering service. Visit usda.snapexpress.org/snap-express-meal-kits/ to learn more.
