Food Matters is an online food delivery service that provides healthy balanced meals to registered customers. Started by a certified nutritionist, Alexandra Prabaharan, Food Matters’ mission is to dispel the negativity of healthy eating and offer meals which are affordable and delicious.
The menu covers a range of 40 dishes and the nutritious options include healthy versions of local dishes (for example, nasi lemak, chicken rice, ayam percik etc), fusion meals and mainstay western favourites. There are 6 options daily so there’s really a pretty good selection of meals.
Recently, I tried a few of Food Matters’ meals which were delivered nicely packed in environmentally-friendly paper boxes. Each meal pack was clearly labelled with calorie counts and nutritional information. They were even categorised under “Low Carbs”, “High Fibre” and “Paleo” – isn’t that helpful? If you have certain allergies, do note that “contains nuts” or “contains dairy” are indicated on the labels of the meal packs as well.
Mediterranean Fish Parcels – aromatic herbs and spices made this dish pretty addictive
Tandoori Wrap – mildly spicy and fuss-free
Baked Spiced Chicken with Spinach & Orange Salad – totally healthy and you can’t go wrong with white meat and salad!
Mexican Bean Salad with Steak – loved the robust flavours!
I like the fresh aromas of the meals as they were all prepared and cooked using fresh herbs, spices and nourishing ingredients. Flavours were well balanced too – it’s evident that a lot of thought and care went into the creation and preparation of the meals. It helped that Alexandra is a serious foodie and a healthy cooking expert besides being an American Fitness Professionals and Associates (AFPA) certified nutritionist!
Getting started with Food Matters is really easy – just log onto their website and register. Then subscribe to your preferred meal plan and choose your meals – there are so many choices to pin down and it all depends on your health goals.
With prices starting at RM10 per meal, I think it’s really reasonable as you get your meal delivered right to your doorstep! It’s moving in the direction of healthy eating while saving a good amount of time and money, too.
