The life of any business owner or entrepreneur is a busy one. You want to eat well, but sometimes you struggle to do anything more than get a Deliveroo. What if you could have everything you need to make delicious, home-cooked meals, without the hassle? That’s where meal delivery services come in!
Who doesn’t love a food delivery?! From takeaways to getting your weekly shopping delivered, we all love to get food delivered to our door. But what about when you want to cook, but just don’t have time or the energy?
Preparing meals can be time-consuming. Not only do you need to decide what to cook, but you then have to check what you have in stock, in your cupboards or in the fridge, then shop for the ingredients you don’t have before you can even get in the kitchen and start cooking!
A meal delivery service could be the answer. These have been around for a while, and are a great way to encourage you to cook food from scratch, without the effort. The beauty of a kit is that they include all the ingredients you need to create delicious home-cooked food ,but without the time-consuming shopping and ingredient searching. Many have plenty of recipes to choose from and cater to a variety of food allergies and dietary choices such as gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian. So, what are you going to cook next?
Mindful Chef
Mindful Chef is a great all-rounder with 20 recipes to choose from. All their meals are gluten-free and dairy-free, they provide vegan options, 1-person options and all their recipes promise to be between 450 and 650 calories per portion.

Joe Wicks, The Body Coach is a big fan of Gousto with his own healthy range for you to choose from – if it’s good enough for the UK’s favourite PE teacher, then it’s good enough for us!
Simply Cook
Simply Cook offers a slightly alternative way to cook. You can get all the blends, spices, and pastes you need to make delicious food at home – you just need to add the fresh ingredients. The great thing about Simply Cook is that the kits can be posted through your letterbox and there is very little packaging to deal with. Not as complete a kit as more traditional meal delivery services, but a great option if you want to buy your fresh ingredients from your local greengrocers or butchers.
