Melbourne's Best Meal Delivery Services

I've tried a couple of readymade meal companies, and Lifestyle Mealprep probably offer the most 'homely' tasting food. Portion sizes are great, lots of variety and options to customize is definitely an added bonus.

I used their custom build for my meals this time around. You get to choose the types of animal and the exact portion, as well as all the different veg you want and how much of each. I chose 300g of peri peri grass fed beef with 450g broccoli, cauliflower and squash. Exactly what i wanted and tasted great.

My Goodness Organics is delicious, healthy, filling and environmentally friendly. It caters for my vegan boyfriend and my tastes. WE LOVE IT! Cannot recommend highly enough and the food is just fantastic and the service is brilliant!

Great for convenience and portion control. All meals were super tasty and a great variety available. Would love to see more of a variety of vegetables added to the meals.

Being able to fit meals to my macros saves me so much time Meals are fresh not frozen and never dry Could have more variety of vegetables and seasoning Love

I love my muscle chef meals. They are delicious and they last a long time in the fridge/freezer. This is incredibly helpful for a health care worker who does shift work.

The food was tasty and convenient to reheat from frozen. Everything tastes surprisingly good despite looking a bit like food you'd expect to find in a retirement village. Most meals lack salt taste wise though, but that might be because they are trying to keep the sodium levels down. Also some of the sauces, like the bbq one on the meat balls gets a bit congealed in the reheating process and doesn't cover all balls, so you get some without any sauce and others smothered in a really thick sauce. Also packaging is often broken when purchased from supermarket just because of the type of plastic containers used. Overall I thought it was pretty good, mostly for the convenience.

I find it hard that I can’t choose a specific day for delivery so for example if it’s over 40 degrees outside and it’s sitting there for eight hours if everyone is at work , I wouldn’t want to eat it no matter how well it was packaged . Like that I can calorie control my meals by choosing clean eating meals . Great that I don’t have to come home and think about cooking .

They are disability and ndis friendly but need more variety - very paleo and meat based. Wish their was a more local provider with more veggie and plant based options that could use with ndis

We started using Dinner Ladies after having our first baby who was demanding and never gave us time to cook. We got into bad food habits and Dinner Ladies saves our meal times and waistlines. We have placed numerous orders and will continue to. The delivery service is very good with texts to tell you when they are a couple of stops away. We have loved most of the food we have tried and like that there are some classics to return to whilst having a variety of new dishes each time. In terms of packaging - there is plastic used but they are constantly trying to improve and make it more sustainable and you can leave out all the delivery packaging for them to collect when they deliver your next order.

Convenient and delicious meals delivered to your door. I love cooking and eating fresh food so this was a nice change from frozen meal services. Would love to see a greater variety of vegetables included.

Dinnerly is a great alternative for those on a budget. The meals are basic but fairly easy to make. It’s the price point for my family. Veg is fresh and ingredients are good.

Be Fit food is so convenient. I have been to the Mornington store and it's always well stocked and the service is amazing. Bit more expensive but well worth it.

My favourite thing about chefgood is that they provide salads and wraps! Most food companies only provide meals which require heating. In hot summer weather, a hot meal is the last thing I want to eat after a long day at work! The freshness and quality of the products is definitely worth the extra $$$. A few things I don’t like: 1. Paying for delivery (delivery should be free over $100) 2. Turn around time between placing and receiving an order, a week in advance is too far out!

I tried Lite n Easy for a few weeks to see if I could lose some weight. I found it was good overall but stopped because the weight loss was slow and the cost was too high for me at that time.

Soups (green kale and the sweet potato are amazing). I can’t have garlic or onion so buying ready made fresh healthY soups is vertically impossible I tried some of the meals - pleasant but not as good as soup lots of meat could work on meals

Some of the meals were great, sone were difficult to eat due to tough, dry meat and undigestible green beans. Unlike other providers, the meat needed to be cut with a knife which can be messy with the small plastic containers. Not enough sauces which made some meals quite dry and sometimes bland. Sauces or dressings were inside the container in separate plastic containers when included which was messy. Some meals weren’t big enough, they are smaller than MMC meals

Very convenient - no cooking or cleaning required! Would like more variety but what was there I liked ~70%. Very small serving size but helped with portion control. In the end seemed wasteful and not as fresh.

Amazing customer service and the price is good for great ingredients. Nothing artificial etc. Taste is somewhat basic though. Also not sure how often they change up their meals in terms of variety

More veggie meals would be good - There's not much unless you eat fish and chicken. I loved the pancakes - so delicious and keep great in the fridge. Some instructions on if the meals could be frozen would be helpful.

I enjoyed these meals especially the curry! I think they are probably priced a little high compared to the other brands I’ve tried value wise. Would love a little more variety and flavour.

Terrible One of my meals was mouldy and a few meals had raw beef! The meals were delivered at 1 am in extreme heat and when found on the doorstep at 7am it was no longer cold if it was in the first place. The management did not believe me, despite me providing them with photographic evidence and offering for them to come and collect the contaminated food to have it tested. The management would not refund me. They are extremely arrogant and rude. Very sad experience and terrible customer service, an absolute waste of money. I paid for contaminated food and was not believed or compensated. I really wanted to support this company and loved the way they came across on the website, they seemed to know what they are doing but please don't risk it. Currently being investigated by food health authorities.

Great tasting, unfrozen, meat an vegetable options, which is what I appreciate in a meal prep provider. I chose soley animal and non starchy plant based options, as that is what I wanted my dinner meals made up of.

The consultations were amazing and certainly kept me on track. The flexibility of the program and the way that it worked to educate and get me making my own decisions around food and planning my own menus once I was confident to do so was great!
