As a Nutritionist, I was eager to explore Chefgood’s vegetarian offerings, known for their chef-prepared, nutritionist-designed meals. Opting for the 14-meal plan, I selected a mix of vegetarian and vegan dishes, including:
- Vegan Chilli Bowl
- Gnocchi with Creamy Parmesan and Mushrooms
- Smoked Cheese Quesadilla
- Vegetable Shepherd’s Pie
- Vegan Singapore Noodles
- Raspberry, Apple & Almond Milk Bircher
- Chocolate & Cherry Chia Pudding
The meals arrived well-packaged with gel ice packs, ensuring freshness. The packaging was recyclable, and meals were clearly labeled with nutritional information, though not all included macronutrient breakdowns on the front.
The meals were flavourful and satisfying. Standouts included the Ricotta, Spinach & Mushroom Lasagne, which was creamy and rich, and the Braised Eggplant & Tomato, reminiscent of a home-cooked dish with fresh ingredients. The Chocolate & Cherry Chia Pudding was delightful.
While Chefgood emphasises whole foods and natural ingredients, some meals contained preservatives like sorbates and sulphites. Additionally, sodium levels were notably high in certain dishes, such as the Vegan Singapore Noodles (1,330mg) and Gnocchi with Genovese Pesto (1,687mg), exceeding half of the daily recommended intake. Protein content varied, with most meals averaging around 17g, which could be higher for optimal nutritional balance.
