Mindful Chef

Mindful Chef takes a deliberately health-led approach, building recipes around lean protein, vegetables and whole ingredients rather than pasta and potatoes. Its weekly menu of around 25 recipes is clearly labelled so you can filter by gluten-free, plant-based, flexitarian, high-protein or low-saturated-fat, which makes it one of the easiest boxes to eat well from. Ingredients are ethically sourced, with British meat and free-range chicken, and many dishes are on the table in around 20 minutes. It sits at the premium end, with indicative pricing from about £4.50 per serving on larger boxes, and the menu is smaller than the mass-market players, but for anyone prioritising nutrition it is the standout. Through its long-running One Feeds Two partnership, the company also funds meals for children in need as its own meals are sold.
