Keto to low carb: 8 healthy meal deliveries in Singapore under $15

Not that we’re complaining about working from home, but operating out of our bedrooms does mean reduced activity. Plus, takeouts or a trip to dabao from your nearest coffee shop aren’t always the healthiest.

You can craft your own nutritional meals, but meal prep can be a hassle, especially in the middle of a work day. These places offer clean eats that are full of health benefits, are delicious and afford plenty of options so you’ll never have to worry about falling into a rut of deciding what to eat.

Diet? What diet?
