Exclusive Appetite
Best for: Victorian households wanting flexible, no-subscription frozen meals
A good fit for Victorians who want frozen, heat-and-eat meals without committing to a weekly subscription, particularly households juggling individual and family-sized portions. Buyers tracking macros will find the lack of published nutrition information frustrating.
- No subscription, lock-in contract or ongoing payments: you order as you need
- Large menu of 70+ chef-prepared dishes including a substantial vegetarian and vegan range
- Three portion sizes, including family meals that feed 4 adults or 2 adults and 4 kids
- Snap-frozen meals keep for up to 12 months, and weekday deliveries are left at the door without you needing to be home
- Victoria only, with rural customers limited to weekly delivery runs
- Nutrition panels come on the packaging rather than being published on the menu, so you cannot compare kilojoules or protein before ordering
- No breakfast options and no ability to customise or swap ingredients in a meal
- Bundle pack pricing is not shown upfront, making value hard to judge before adding to cart
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.
- Over 50 plant-based meals with cuisines from Italian and Mediterranean through to Indian, Mexican and Asian
- 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
