Activate Foods
Best for: Coeliac safe, gluten free meals with no subscription in NSW
A good fit for Sydney, Newcastle and Central Coast households who want gluten free, macro labelled meals without locking into a weekly subscription. The single Monday delivery window and $75 minimum make it less convenient for anyone wanting small top up orders.
- Full macros and calories shown on every meal, plus a nutrition panel image
- No contracts or subscriptions: order as often or as rarely as you like
- Entirely gluten free kitchen, which suits coeliac customers
- Mix of fresh and frozen meals, plus family sized dishes and in store pick up at Erina
- Delivery limited to Sydney, Newcastle and the Central Coast in NSW
- One delivery day only, Monday, with no tracking or delivery notifications
- Minimum online spend of $75 and a $15 delivery fee unless you spend $180 or more
- No automatic repeat orders, so you need to rebuild your order each week
Workout Meals
Best for: High protein meals for training and muscle gain
Suits gym-goers and athletes who want dietitian-formulated meals with published macros and larger serves, and who are happy to run a weekly subscription to avoid the delivery fee. Less suitable if you are in WA or NT, or if you only want the odd one-off box.
- Full macro and calorie breakdown, plus ingredients and allergens, shown on every meal
- Genuinely high protein, with many mains between 32g and 54g per serve
- Free delivery on weekly or fortnightly subscriptions over $99, with skip or cancel at any time
- Air fryer compatible range and larger portion sizes for people training hard
- No delivery to WA or NT
- Flat delivery fee of about $15 on one-off orders, which lifts the effective cost of a small box
- Priced at the higher end for prepared meals at roughly $12.50 a meal a la carte
