The best healthy meal subscriptions in Hong Kong

Founded by Josh Li who is behind Nutrition Kitchen (see below), Thesis is Hong Kong’s latest nutrition-focused delivery concept with a line of ready-to-eat premium salads. As much as our city is a foodie paradise, there actually aren’t many places that serve top-notch salads with delicious ingredients, so the Thesis team has taken healthy meal deliveries and stripped things back to leave fresh and nutrient-dense whole foods which aim to meet daily nutrition intakes and improve gut health. 

Each of Thesis’ seven salads targets a particular area of health. For example, the kale and chicken Glow salad is designed to nourish the gut and skin; Zen, with smoked duck, healthy fats, and anti-inflammatories, boosts productivity; and the smoked salmon Bloom flavour focuses on heart health and immunity. Two of their salad types also have vegetarian versions with plant-based chicken. We love that Thesis salads come in glass jars, which can be returned to your delivery guy, or easily be repurposed into TikTok-worthy pantry containers – and are also environmentally friendly, of course.

Get your salads delivered in bundles of three ($330), four ($420), or seven ($700), depending on how much greens you want to consume in a week. For a little treat, Thesis also offers vanilla and berry overnight oats and mango overnight oats as an add-on to your order.

Pronounced ‘check check seen’ (meaning [let’s] check first in Cantonese), Hong Kong wellness brand CheckCheckCin embraces the Chinese concept of preventative healthcare. Unlike the others on this list, they are more focused on drinks than food, encouraging customers to form the habit of consuming beneficial drinks daily to strengthen their systems. Recognising that healthcare is not one-size-fits-all, CheckCheckCin also has new customers find out their body types with a quick quiz before recommending the appropriate products. Their cornerstone products are the Dawn and Dusk rice waters – one with red rice to be taken in the morning, and one with black soya bean and black sesame to be taken at night – but also offer a wide range of rice water, herbal teas, and soup packs focusing on different health concerns, all presented in colourful, modern packaging that brings a smile to our face. Check out their handy subscription service for rice water sets (from $306 per month) – monthly subscribers can enjoy discounted pricing, as well as an additional 10 percent discount off the first month of the subscription plan. The worst thing about CheckCheckCin’s rice water is probably that it’s hard to stop at drinking just one each day.

Created by premium caterers Bain Marie, Nutrichef believes that eating healthy should never mean compromising on taste. Meal plans are curated by seasoned chef and certified nutritionist Emilie Clairet.

Expect meals such as masala fish curry, pork gyros, duck leg with quinoa, and beef slices on fregola sarda. All meals are delivered in insulated bags to your door by 8am so you can just bring what you need to the office.

Prices start from $705 for a two-meal option for three days.

Having been around since 2017, the meals at Food Folk are cooked using quality ingredients – grass-fed meats, sustainable seafood, hormone-free poultry, and locally sourced fresh produce – before being packaged with nutritional labels so you know exactly what your intake is. Their menu mostly consists of Asian-inspired international dishes such as Burmese tofu teriyaki, rainbow salad with crispy tempeh, or hummus wholewheat wrap with protein options. Prices start from $298 for a two-day, one-meal plan. Pro tip: if you’re not sold on a subscription yet, you can also order their food à la carte.
