Charlotte’s story
A friend recommended Mindful Chef to me a little over a year ago and what an amazing find it has been. My boyfriend and I both often work till late and don’t have the time or the motivation to cook every night. As a result we either grab food on the way home or rely on trusty Deliveroo to keep us fed (not great for the bank balance or very healthy either). Then my friend told me about Mindful Chef – a healthy recipe box service that sends you all of the ingredients along with recipe cards to cook healthy meals each week. Since using it I’ve lost a stone without even feeling like I’m on a diet.
If you’re like us the weekends come and go very quickly, the last thing we want to think about is shopping for the week ahead. The great thing about Mindful Chef is they send you everything you need – removing the daily chore of shopping or thinking about what to eat. The box arrives as promised; packed beautifully, with top quality fresh local produce (better than the food I find in my shops). This was one of the main things that attracted us to recipe boxes – they’re perfect for when there is no time to shop. After a stressful day at work I don’t want to waste my time queuing and shopping for dinner on the way home when I can simply head straight home and cook a delicious, healthy meal from Mindful Chef.
The healthy recipes importantly are quick and easy to follow. We’ve learned a whole new way of cooking, using ingredients we would never have used before. We know what we should be eating but always struggle to come up with food that tastes good and is actually healthy. Not anymore – all of the meals with Mindful Chef seem to be balanced and the flavours are great. Having eaten a lot of ready meals in the past (pasta or pizzas) we’ve really tried to reduce our carb intake and Mindful Chef are the only recipe box who cater for this. We’ve tried similar companies before but they really are the best and we like the fact they include more vegetables in their recipes.
Some people think the service is expensive but we find cutting out the mid-week shop has actually saved us money – now we only pay for the food we actually eat. There’s no waste and no need to buy lots of rarely used ingredients that go off before you finish the jar / packet. When you consider the quality of ingredients they use, where the food comes from and the fact everything is delivered we think it’s definitely worth it.
Mindful Chef have completely changed the way I eat and the way I shop. As a result of their boxes and training I now have more energy, feel healthier and have actually lost weight (over a stone in the first two months). I plan on getting these boxes for the foreseeable future. I cannot recommend Mindful Chef highly enough.

‘There are a few recipe boxes out there but this is far and away the best of those I’ve tried. I’m a food writer so what I eat is really important. Mindful chef is brilliant at providing recipes that are exciting, healthy and packed with nutrition, colour and texture. Can’t recommend highly enough.’
