Getting home delivery doesn’t have to be unhealthy
Life only seems to get busier as we get older and two of the most important things to many of us are saving time and taking care of our health. These days we are so lucky to have such a wide range of healthy food delivery services in Melbourne that you are guaranteed to find one to suit your needs. Let them do the thinking for you and stop stressing about what to cook every night. We tested out four and here’s the verdict.
My Goodness Organics
There’s something liberating about eating food that you know is 100 % good for you. And that’s what you get from My Goodness Organics. Run by Rebecca and partner Warren, their focus is on plant-based whole foods that are completely refined sugar free, gluten free, dairy free and wheat free.
My Goodness Organics offers four different menus on rotation with a variety of ready-made delicious dishes that are beautifully presented. These meal plans include breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks so you’re never left feeling hungry. There is also an option for a juice cleanse for those wanting to detox. Their meals aren’t about counting calories but more about healing the body with raw foods, but as a bonus you might find that you drop a few pounds along the way.
Some of the dishes and juices might take some getting used to if you’re new to the healthy side of life and others (like their green fig balls) will shock you with how something so good for you could taste so naughty. As if that all didn’t sound good enough, they have also done the thinking for you, labelling each item with which day it is to be consumed. My Goodness Organics ticks all the boxes.
- Meal of the week: Chicken shukran salad and vanilla choc double decker
- Cost: Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for five days costs $280.
