CORE Powerfoods

Best for: Affordable high-protein frozen meals for gym-goers and bulking

A frozen, high protein range aimed squarely at gym-goers who want cheap macro-friendly meals without committing to a weekly plan. Best value if you order over $150 at a time to cut the delivery fee, and the long freezer life means you can stock up.

• High protein across the range, with sampled meals at 35g to 44g per 350g serve
• Full nutrition panels and ingredient lists published for every meal
• No lock-in subscription: buy fixed packs or build a custom pack as you go
• Meals are snap frozen with a 1 to 2 year freezer shelf life, so no weekly delivery pressure

• Delivery costs $19.95 unless you spend over $150, and WA pays $19.95 regardless
• Menu is limited to around 25 items and skews heavily to rice and pasta based bodybuilding meals
• No subscription option, so reordering is manual
• Orders cannot be altered once payment is made, with cancellations only within 12 hours

Soulara

Best for: Vegan and plant-based ready meals with published macros

A strong fit for vegans and anyone cutting back on animal products who wants heat-and-eat meals with clear macros and no cooking. Pricing is flat across bundle sizes, so there is no real reward for ordering big.

• Full nutrition panel, macros and ingredient list published for every meal
• Flat $12.20 per meal pricing with pre-built bundles from 5 to 10 meals, plus 5% off for subscribers
• Flexible ordering: weekly, fortnightly or one-off, with skip, pause or cancel anytime

• Entirely plant-based, so no option for anyone wanting meat or seafood meals
• Delivery reaches 1,988 postcodes only, so some regional addresses miss out
• Delivery fee varies by postcode and free shipping needs a $150 order
• Protein varies widely, with some meals as low as 8g to 13g per serve
