Best for: Low FODMAP and balanced chilled meals without a subscription

- No subscription required: you can order one off or set a weekly, fortnightly or four weekly delivery
- Large range of Monash University certified Low FODMAP meals, plus high protein, low calorie and vegetarian filters
- Meals arrive fresh and chilled by refrigerated transport rather than frozen
- Flat $15 refrigerated delivery fee on every order adds meaningfully to the cost of a small box
