EveryPlate specifies that it doesn't have gluten-free options. This is due to the fact that all its meals are prepared in the same facility, which may lead to cross-contamination. However, if you’re following a gluten-free diet for non-medical reasons, it’s possible to find gluten-free dishes that can work for you.
I found that many of EveryPlate's meals can be made gluten-free. You can change up ingredients as needed since this service ships raw ingredients. You simply need to omit any wheat, barley, etc. ingredients from each recipe as you cook it, swapping in gluten-free alternatives as necessary.
EveryPlate is significantly cheaper than certified gluten-free services like Green Chef, so it may be worth the extra time and effort if you’re on a budget. I researched EveryPlate's menu to find suitable options to save you time, and I’ve highlighted where you might need to make at-home swaps or exclusions.

Gluten-free food isn't necessarily healthy. Some meals lacking gluten may have substantial amounts of fat, sodium, and sugar. Unless you're gluten intolerant, you should eat gluten food because whole grains typically have a lot of beneficial nutrients. But if you can’t eat recipes containing gluten, Mediterranean Steak and Hummus Bowls and Zesty Herb-Rubbed Salmon are highly nutritious gluten-free dishes suitable for a balanced diet.
Those who are gluten-free should consume fruits, vegetables, raw nuts, and the majority of low-fat dairy products. Lean, unprocessed fish, meat, poultry, and eggs can also be incorporated into their diet. Grains such as amaranth, buckwheat, and sorghum should be included in this dietary plan.
