Meals for One

Meals for One Delivered NZ

Our meals for one are single serve trays of roughly 400g to 450g, so there's no cooking for one and no leftovers to deal with. They suit anyone living alone, or anyone who only needs one portion at a time. All 26 meals on the menu are one serve, cooked fresh daily in our Invercargill kitchen and delivered chilled. Prices are $14.99 to $16.99 a meal, and each one heats in 3 to 4 minutes.

You'll find chicken meals, beef meals and vegetarian meals here, all in one place.

Single Serve Meals for People Living Alone

Cooking for one usually means buying more than you need, or eating the same thing three nights running. With single serve meals you order what you'll eat. Every tray is one portion, with the nutrition panel and ingredients on its product page, so you can see the calories and protein before you buy.

How Many Meals for One Should I Order?

The minimum order is 6 meals. Meals keep in the fridge for up to 4 days, or until the Best Before date on the pack. If you're ordering for more days than that, eat some fresh and freeze the rest before their Best Before date. They'll keep for 3 months, but don't refreeze once thawed.

To try a mix first, the Starter Meal Box has 8 meals for $119.99. Once you know your favourites, build your own box and choose Weekly or Fortnightly in the cart. If you live alone, Fortnightly may suit you better. You can skip, pause or cancel any time.
