A meal delivery service sends customers ready-to-eat meals or fresh and frozen pre-portioned ingredients with easy to follow recipes delivered to their location of choice. A meal delivery service is personalised to suit individual tastes, dietary preferences and health goals. 

Meals may come cooked and ready to heat/ eat or ingredients are pre-portioned and labelled in order to quickly cook and assemble a meal. Recipes are foolproof – simple, clear and easy to follow. 

Most meal delivery services operate via a subscription-based model yet some can be ordered individually. Each food box or ready-made meal from a meal delivery service usually combines the efforts of chefs, nutritionists and grocery shoppers to deliver creative menus suitable to a range of dietary preferences to make healthy eating easy.
