No matter how much you love cooking, a food delivery service can work miracles when you’re short of time or resources. However, traditional takeaways are often unhealthy, calorie-laden and lacking in nutrients – exactly what you don’t need to fuel a hectic lifestyle.
Thankfully, the foodie world is catching on. The result? Wholesome, delicious meals delivered straight to your doorstep. Here are three of our favourites:
1 Happy Lunch
The lovechild of Karma Cans and ProperCorn, this ‘happy’ meal will do much better things for your mood than a burger and chips would. Effectively, it does what it says on the tin: packed with mood-boosting chemical serotonin, the delicious combination of chargrilled corn, lemon-marinated avocado and steamed kale is scientifically-designed to up your happiness. Finish by crunching on a bag of serotonin-rich ProperCorn Smooth Peanut and Almond popcorn. Yum. Find out more at karmacans.co.uk/happylunch.
2 BodyKitchen
BodyKitchen provides gourmet food delivered straight to your doorstep. The menu uses fresh, seasonal ingredients and has been developed together with a nutritionist. The perfect solution for date night or a cosy night in with friends, try the roast sea bream with shaved fennel salad, enjoyed with one of their organic, biodynamic wines. Discover their full menu at deliveroo.co.uk.
3 Sushi Shop
Have a Japanese feast al desko with Sushi Shop’s delivery service, which is packed with healthy options. For maximum nutrition points, avoid white rice maki rolls and go for Donburi beef with a side of pomegranate-jewelled quinoa, or instead try salmon sashimi for an omega-3 boost. mysushishop.co.uk
