They offer over 650 family classics, flash-frozen in order to preserve meals longer. Here's how it works: they want you to browse through their items until you've picked out your family's favorites. Once you've placed your order, they want you to choose your delivery date and preferred time frame. Finally, they make sure that you are satisfied with your order or your money back. They make sure that they prioritize customer service because they understand the importance of being satisfied with services offered. They offer many options in the gluten-free category. It is important to note that their gluten-free selections have been certified by the Celiac Support Association (CSA), which is stricter than the FDA, as the CSA requires foods to have less than five parts per million. Some options in this selection include white bread, brownie bites, blueberry streusel muffins, breaded chicken bites, pepperoni pizza, and a four-cheese pizza. Their LiveSmart options, a specialty of Schwan's, include oatmeal, fruit bars, edamame, spaghetti, sweet cut corn, guacamole, and lettuce wraps. Their vegetarian options are many, and they include Brussels sprouts, a vegetable medley, fresh-cut fruit plates, broccoli & cheese, asparagus, rice pilaf, fried rice, sweet potato fries, crispy waffle fries, and mashed potatoes. Aside from gluten-free, LiveSmart and vegetarian options, they offer alternatives that are low in sodium, low in calories, and have no added sugars. This is important to note because not all options offered by Schwan's are healthy, and these offer an alternative to that. If you want to give families the gift of great food and great memories, there are gift cards that range from $10 to $300, making it perfect for anything from a birthday, to Mother's Day, to Christmas. Ultimately, you decide if you like it enough to pass on the word, but since it has so many different options, everybody should find something that they like. You select the amount of money you want to give, then you select a gift card holder until finally you personalize the gift card holder, saying whom it's from, to whom it's being given, and writing a message.

The Bad

Weight loss

This meal delivery service is, more than anything, like a grocery store. It has healthy products, but it also has the unhealthy ones. This is not a weight loss program, but it should still reduce the amount of deep-fried foods in which it offers. Americans' problems with obesity and heart disease have been directly correlated to food habits in the past, and they are only enforcing families to continue with these unhealthy habits despite their attempts to implement diet-based options. They should cook alternatives, trying to use less oils and fatty ingredients. Schwan's should also aim to use different cooking methods, rather than constantly deep-frying, while trying to find a similar taste. For this price, you're also better off going to the grocery store if you're looking to indulge in these unhealthy foods regardless. It is at least important for them to continue placing ingredients and nutritional information on their website. This way, we can stay informed on what we are eating if we wish, and make smart decisions based on that information. For example, although their corn mix is healthy, it comes with four servings, at 90 calories each serving. This is important to know, but with deep-fried food items, it becomes an increasingly more alarming concern. Foods that have zero nutritional value are made out of empty calories, which are the worst foods we could put into our bodies. Their popcorn shrimp serves eight people, at 220 calories a serving; many families eat more servings than is recommended, which is already an issue without the item consisting of zero nutritional value. They should aim to make their services enough for simply one or two people, rather than several. This would allow families to exert self-control and deliberately eat less, but more likely, it will make people realize the mistakes that they had been making before. Companies across the board should strive to offer much variety, but of the healthy kind-which is what Schwan's partially does.

The Bottom Line

Ultimately, if you use Schwan's, it should be on occasion or if you don't have enough time to make it to the grocery store. This is not only because of the unhealthy choices, but because it is generally more costly, so if you have the time and the resources, you'll be saving yourself money by making dinner yourself-in the short and long term. Health issues might arise if you make wrong choices in terms of your meals. Schwan's does offer a variety of options that will keep the whole family satisfied, though, and if chosen correctly, meals could be of nutritional value, too. Due to the variety of diet options-such as the ones that are gluten-free, low in sodium, and with no added sugars-there is plenty to go around. Opt for the fresh fruits and vegetables, and make sure that your children learn to eat moderately and slowly. Schwan's could be a great family tool if used wisely.

I love being able to pull something out of the freezer and put it in the oven for dinner. Schwan's makes it so easy when I need to do dinner in a rush and everything tastes amazing. Plus, there are no trips to the grocery store. I get it delivered to my door..

My experience has been a positive one. The food is so fresh and comes packed in dry ice. The food is so tasty and delicious. They give you a large amount of food and the prices are reasonable. They call prior to shipping just to make sure the address is correct. If you don’t call right back to confirm order, they will cancel it.

Life growing up was not complete for me as a kid without seeing the Schwan's Truck at our house. My mother would order from the Schwan's truck almost every week. As a young child I grew up on the ice cream and other delicious meals.

Love the sausages, they have a box of patty like sausages that are great. Telling you once you try them you will not want any from anywhere else but here. The ice creams are great, they have so many types of Ice Cream, they even have it for you fur babies. The only thing that I can find wrong is the prices, I'm sorry but some of them are just WAY too high. They should go in and repaired

Schwan's is a great organization as far as consistency of quality product, reliability with delivery and connection to customers, and I have found their food to be absolutely excellent. The only downside in my opinion to Schwans is the expense of the product combined with the expense of the delivery service. We loved it and enjoyed it - then later decided that we truly couldn't adored to continue. Great company!

I have previously used the Schwans delivery service but it was quite a few years ago. I was skeptical about being able to use it for our large family who was on a budget as well as if the quality of the items was good. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was worried for nothing! there was always several items on special and the items that I chose to purchase were always great tasting. I also felt like it was a pretty good value for my money. the best part.....they came to me!

As I child I always dreamed of having the Schwan man come to my house! As an adult I still love them! They have great meal options, and a lot of my favorite childhood treats. They have added so many special diet option and the single serve dishes are delicious! I really love how easy it is to order online and have my food delivered right to my door!

We’ve had schwan’s Home food service for about 5 years now. They come to my house every 2 weeks. Sometimes I find that 2 weeks is too often and there are certain times of the year that I have them come monthly instead. It’s nice to have that kind of flexibility. The sales people are always so friendly and NOT pushy which I love. The quality of food is amazing. I love all the options. When I think of Schwans I automatically think ice cream because it’s so good, but they have great meal options too.

I have used scwans off and on for20 years,and I just can't be praise them enough. Delivery days are like a kids Christmas waiting for santa. There pot pies. Cordon Bleu Italian ice cream and many others are the best. Prices seem high cause they sell packages not single but it's worth it.
