As close as you can get to cooking your own food without actually having to cook, there’s the option to exclude certain ingredients and each meal comes fully labelled with its macronutrients (i.e. protein, carbs and fats). Food is freshly prepared by an expert team of chefs the day before delivery, and all meals are free from gluten and refined sugar. Delivery now available nationwide.

Price Point: From £15 per day.

Best For Healthy Lunches: Key To Food

If you’re WFH and falling out of love with your daily lunches (or are back in the office and bored stiff of sandwiches), Key To Food’s lunch-only package won’t disappoint. Varied and packed with flavour, expect everything from teriyaki grilled salmon with black rice to jerk chicken with rice, peas and satay plantain. These meals taste indulgent, but there’s the option to choose your portion size if you’re looking to keep the calories in check. Key To Food is flexible too – think two-day taster packs as well as lunch and dinner-only options, transform plans and one-off packages.

Price Point: A month of healthy lunches (five per week) will set you back £190. A two-day taster package, featuring three meals and a snack, costs £47.

There’s also the option to filter dishes by healthy priority, and the range contains low-FODMAP meals for those suffering from IBS. Delivery is carbon neutral, too.  

Price Point: A six-meal bundle for one costs £39.85, but there’s also the option to build your own box, with prices for individual meals starting from £6.25.
