Manchester residents are busy bees. Take one look at the city, and you’ll see a blur of faces whizzing through their packed schedules. We bet many of these people are thinking the same thing: how can I possibly cook a healthy meal today? Sometimes, there aren’t enough hours in the day, and with so much to do, it can be all too easy to put nutrition on the back burner. When you’re surrounded by delicious, cheap takeaways and no spare time, finding recipes that fit into your lifestyle is a challenge indeed.
That’s why we’re sourcing the best healthy food deliveries for Manchester residents. The following meal delivery services are designed to take the guesswork out of wellness. Simply choose your favourite dishes and get back on track!
1. Frive
Eating nutritious food doesn’t mean compromising flavour: just ask Frive! They’re offering Manchester residents a wealth of healthy dishes made with organic ingredients. Frive’s chef-prepared menu changes weekly, so you’ll have the chance to expand your palette with their 3-day, 5-day or 6-day meal plans. All you have to do is select your dietary preferences.
Frive’s chefs will prepare the food and then deliver it to your home! It’s really that simple. The hardest part will be choosing what to eat. Fancy Thai food? Add Frive’s aromatic Thai green curry to your basket. If you’re a vegan who loves Middle Eastern cuisine, try their Tempeh Shawarma with rice and zesty, homemade chilli sauce.
You can customise each dish for low-carb or ‘balanced’ alternatives. Frive’s dishes are also made without gluten or dairy, making them suitable for customers with celiac diseases or lactose intolerance.
