Because there’s more to food delivery than pizza

All things considered, resolving to start eating healthy and actually doing it consistently is a feat even the strictest, most disciplined individuals find hard to pull off. And the difficulty of the task has less to do with the actual food itself—the problems mostly have to do with logistics, time, and, believe it or not, the wealth of choices available online.
The number of healthy fast food delivery services has grown exponentially over the last couple of years that it’s become not only confusing but rather overwhelming to choose best delivery service that’s worth your money. And so we’ve scoured the web to come up with a list of some of the best healthy food you can get delivered. It’s not a definitive list by any means, but it’s got some variety—from Paleo to ketogenic to calorie-bound diets:
Paleo Manila (now called Nuthera)
The Paleo diet is all about going back to basics—eating the stuff humans did before the introduction of modern agriculture. Paleo Manila is a delivery service that specializes in all-natural, non-GMO, gluten-free, and dietitian-approved meals. You can choose from either a Standard Meal Plan or PLUS+ Meal Plans (which come in bigger servings). You can also have the meals customized to accommodate food restrictions or allergies (should you have any). Prices range from P750 to P1,050 (for bigger portions) a day. Those prices are inclusive of delivery fees if you’re within Metro Manila. Diet plans begin at five days up to six months.
GG Salad
A specialty food service provider, GG Salad offers mostly cold meals and salads whose ingredients are all locally-sourced. Some of the salad “programs” you can choose from include Pesca Pollo (P1,150), Pescatarian (P1,150), Beef and Turkey (P2,120), and Vegetarian (P900). They also offer Flexi Plans, which come with healthy wraps.
