Ordering healthy food is becoming increasingly popular because it offers the perfect mix of time savings and balanced nutrition. Instead of unhealthy delivery meals or elaborate cooking boxes, ready-made, nutrient-optimized meals provide a quick, transparent and high-quality solution. Ideal for everyday life, work and training, without compromising on quality or taste.

Why ordering healthy food is becoming increasingly popular

In a world full of deadlines, commitments and quick snacks, many people are looking for a solution for conscious nutrition without extra effort.

The answer: order healthy food.

Whether you want to build muscle, lose weight or simply eat a balanced diet - the quality of your food plays a key role. But what does "healthy" actually mean and what should you look out for?

What is healthy food anyway?

According to the DGE (German Nutrition Society), healthy meals are characterized by the following properties:

  • Rich in nutrients: high in vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein

  • Macro-balanced: balanced ratio between protein, fat and carbohydrates

  • Free from additives: No preservatives, flavor enhancers or industrial sugar

  • Gently prepared to preserve nutrients

Your options: Local delivery services, meal boxes or ready-made meal-prep dishes?

1

Delivery services from restaurants or like Lieferando

  • Advantage: Fast delivery from restaurants in your city

  • Disadvantage: nutritional values often unclear, no targeted macro control

2

  • Advantage: Fresh ingredients to cook yourself

  • Disadvantage: time-consuming, many basic ingredients required, packaging often costly

Healthy food should contain a high proportion of vegetables, lean protein (e.g. fish, chicken), healthy fats and fiber. This is the case with all our ready meals. Bowls with fresh vegetables, curries or dishes with wholemeal or lentil pasta are ideal.

Dishes with fresh vegetables, salad, fish, chicken or plant-based protein sources such as lentils or chickpeas are good options. Look for balanced nutritional values, few additives and fresh ingredients.

Ready meals with a high vegetable content, a complete list of ingredients, little sugar and lots of protein are considered particularly healthy. We pay particular attention to these factors in all our ready meals.
