Did you know you can eat healthily without even leaving the house?

Here are our 10 best meal delivery options…

Abel & Cole

One of the pioneers in a market that was very niche 28 years ago but is now growing rapidly as the desire for ethically sourced organic produce continues to increase. The company claim that it cares about ‘what you eat and where it comes from’, and it’s hard to quibble with a firm that continues to deliver high-quality produce across the UK. Beginning with a chap called Keith and a few organic spuds from a UK farm that the company still use today, Abel & Cole have transformed the food delivery market and continue to set the pace.

Riverford Organic

The company also offer dairy options, a selection of sauces and condiments, store cupboard staples and even red and white wine. It’s basically a one-stop shop and one that’s proving enormous popular with clients from across the country.

Kettlebell Kitchen 

Targeting the business market and ‘corporate wellness’, the Manchester-based firm aims to provide the healthiest food available to employees in a bid to tackle a long-neglected but potentially lucrative area. Pointing out that absenteeism is a major cause of lost revenue to businesses across the UK, Kettleball Kitchen’s ambitions are clear, with the company aiming to provide healthy and nutritional options to improve workplace productivity and the long-term health of employees. As many ingredients as possible are sourced from local farms and suppliers, while fresh dishes are offered on-site to staff at companies across the country.

Honestly Good 

What started with an old blender in a garage has become a company attempting to save the world with one smoothie at a time. They source as many ingredients from organic farmers in the UK, then look to carefully selected Soil Association Certified Organic Suppliers for some of the more exotic fruit, veg and superfoods. Everything is then lovingly washed, peeled, chopped and packed at their family home. Everything is transparent and sustainable, from the preparation to the recycling of their packaging and everything in between. Sign up, receive your frozen packs in the post, blend and enjoy!
