If only everyone could agree on what the perfect diet is, life (and eating) would be simple.  At Healthy Meals To Your Door we focus on whole foods.  We believe there is no “perfect diet” for everyone, and that is why we offer a range of different dietary preferences.  After all we are all different, why shouldn’t our eating habits be?

There is one thing we are certain about though, and that is that everyone is better off eating food in its most natural form, and that is why we put such an emphasis on whole foods.  It’s ok to eat for taste sometimes, it’s ok to eat for comfort sometimes, as long as you are eating to nourish most of the time.

At Healthy Meals To Your Door we like to help you take the stress and time out of ticking the “nourishing” box, for the majority of the time, so that you get your nutrition into your body, in delicious ways, and then what you eat for the other 20% of the time doesn’t threaten your health so much.

After all it’s not just calories that matter, it’s nutrients, and we like to jam as many into our meals as we can.

Because… Your Body NEEDS Nutrients… and a variety of them in order to function.  The more “whole” a food, the more nutrients it contains, packaged up in ways the body knows how to use.

If you can follow one rule of eating, let it be this:  Eat whole foods

Nutrient utilization in humans (the body uses and needs protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and a bunch of other nutrients found in whole foods.)

vegetarian meals home delivered in brisbane

If you are looking for a fresh food delivery service in Brisbane, Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast (and anywhere in between, and yes we deliver to Noosa), we offer a range of calorie controlled, healthy meals delivered to your door.

If the following is important to you:

Fresh Meals: Our meals are cooked fresh each week, just for you, and made to order. Day 1, 2 and 3 are fresh meals (not frozen), Day 4 onwards are freezable (or frozen) or non-perishable (eg. breakfast) to ensure freshness and allow flexibility.  We know sometimes you have other plans for dinner or “life happens”, so we have given you some room to move with freezable options.  And we don’t use preservatives or other baddatives so this helps keep yourexecdinners food fresh and safe.

Taste and Variety:  We have a four week rotating meal plan to ensure lots of variety within our menus so you don’t get bored, and all our meals are chef prepared and made to be delicious and nutritious.

Special dietary needs: We cater for a range of dietary preferences and special diets including vegan and vegetarian, and gluten and dairy free.

Home Delivery: We offer a delivery service to your home or office and deliver our meals in a cold box with ice packs to keep it fresh for you.

Healthy: Our meals and plans are developed by a nutritionist so they are designed to be nutrient dense.

Calorie controlled: All our plans are portion and calorie controlled. Typically a one day plan will range between 1350-1650 calories a day.  (There are ways for you to eat less or more than this if you desire, though we generally don’t encourage very low calorie intake (like 1200 calories or less) because from what we know about health and nutrition, it would be difficult to get nourished on that amount of food and you are likely to set up starvation programs in your body and actually hinder weight loss attempts in the long term.)

Family friendly:  We even have a family friendly plan so you can all eat together!  (This is very popular with our vegetarian and vegan families!)

We look forward to serving you!
