Is Mindful Chef worth it?

At Mindful Chef, every recipe is crafted with care, from the ingredients we choose to the chefs who bring them to life. We understand our meals are an investment, you might wonder why our boxes cost more than some other options - here's why.

The Mindful Chef difference

Premium, high-quality ingredients

Every meal starts with the very best ingredients. We prioritise ethical and sustainable sourcing, celebrating 100% British meat, only using free-range chicken and featuring seasonal ingredients wherever we can. You won't find any palm oil or refined carbs in our recipes. As a proud B Corp, we are committed to continuing to drive our standards even higher.

Our meals are designed to nourish your body while delighting your taste buds. Balanced, satisfying and full of whole food goodness, they make eating well simple, without compromising on flavour. There's plenty of choice for every diet whether you want to avoid gluten or dairy or are seeking plenty of variety and fibre. Find recipes that are high protein, packed with a wide variety of plants, low in saturated fat and that make up more than 1/3rd of your daily fibre.

Crafted by expert chefs for an elevated meal experience

Our chefs are the heart of our brand - they spend 16 hours designing and testing every recipe so you can bring flavour to the table in as little as 20 minutes. Our recipes elevate weeknight dinners so you can enjoy restaurant-quality dishes from the comfort of your own home. Mindful Chef isn't just about eating, it's about enjoying food that looks, smells and tastes delicious while effortlessly nourishing your body in the process.

What our customers say

I'm so happy I found Mindful Chef. The ingredients are of the highest quality and the recipes are so tasty, delicious and fresh. I'm loving the brown and whole grain rice and noodles, never thought I'd say that. I enjoy cooking and look forward to tasting something new each day. It makes you feel good knowing you are eating healthy and have lost weight too. Not to mention my much lighter supermarket bill. I'm very impressed and very happy with Mindful Chef. I would highly recommend them.

Jane

Mindful Chef has given me my joy of cooking back by way of providing inventive recipes and the use of ingredients that make a dish work. The meals are very flavoursome and nutritious. I love that I don't have to trail through my recipe books to plan my week's menus. Thank you for making my life easier!

Karon

Game changer for weeknight meals! I cannot rate Mindful Chef highly enough! My husband and I both have full time jobs and we have two kids. A few nights a week we like to each together just the two of us but always get stuck in a rut with food and never have the right ingredients in the fridge for something more adventurous. Mindful Chef to the rescue. I've been blown away with how delicious, healthy and filling these meals are. Plus very quick to prep and cook. All boxes ticked! It makes eating well super easy. I've tried other meal boxes before and nothing compares. Thank you Mindful Chef!

Carly

Well balanced meals with generous protein portions, tasty recipes, recipe booklet easy to follow and well presented. Takes the thinking and effort out for meal planning, portion control and healthy eating. Have been a happy customer for almost 5 years!

Holly

We have been subscribers now for some years and Mindful Chef provides superb ingredients and interesting recipe choices every week. The vegetables are fresh, the meat/poultry/fish always top class quality and the dry ingredients (spice mixes etc) superb. We have fantastic meals every night with minimal effort - gluten, meat and dairy easy to avoid if people wish. Can't imagine life without our weekly box now.

I have ordered many meals from Mindful Chef and each one has been delicious. I love the concept, food and the fact they donate food with every box I order. The customer service is also incredible. Mindful Chef is a company I highly recommend.
