Healthy meals on wheels are here!

Now that the Covid-19 situation has us working from home and taking care of the kids' home-based learning, there's hardly enough time for day-to-day household matters, like what to eat for lunch or dinner.

Using a meal delivery service will help take that off your plate (pun fully intended) by bringing meals right to your door and on time. 

All of the services here are chosen for their nutritious, quality ingredients and healthy preparation. Many even cater to specific diets and fitness goals. Some are offering promotions and discounts during the circuit breaker period!

Here are 11 services to consider.

AMGD

Delicious, healthy and convenient: Ahhmahgawd! - i.e., AMGD - is what this four-year-old company's meals are all about. Pledging on-time delivery and great customer service, the halal-certified brand offers a wide range of meals from vegetarian, keto, fish, meat and seafood (you can see a range of its bentos above).

Bonus: It comes up with new menus and seasonal offerings every month, so you won't get bored.

Prices: $17 for a single meal with its ALA-CARTE PASS, or $12 per meal with a GOLD PASS. AMGD works on a pay-per-use-credit system, where you can buy a certain number of meal credits called the AMGD PASS.

Choose between 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 101 meals. Tip: Delivery is free on orders above 2 credits to the same location; otherwise, it’s $2.50. Use Promo code AMGD101S3 to get 5 per cent off your first AMGD PASS!

FITTHREE

Feel guilty about ordering meals in because of the extra packaging? Feel less so with FITTHREE's packaging: All of it uses sustainable materials - the containers themselves are made of bagasse pulp.

Beyond that, it offers menus that change every week.

Meals are delivered chilled and need to be kept in a fridge. Deliveries are done twice a week (Monday and Thursday).

Prices: One standard size meal cost $13.40 and one XL is $15.90. People can order just what they need, 3, 5 or 10 meals. They can keep them in the fridge for when they don't feel like cooking. No lock-in period or long term commitment, they order what they need for when they need it.
