Avantera Health

I needed something to help me manage my cholesterol after my doctor suggested it, and a friend recommended this service. The meals are well portioned and the instructions are easy to follow. I have been very pleased with the attentive support from their team.

The first thing I noticed was how fast the meal selection loads on my phone, which is great when you're on the bus. Then when I tried to skip next week's delivery the button just didn't respond, so I emailed them and got a reply the next morning. Fine otherwise.

Good enough that I've stuck with it for three months now. The portions are decent but I'd like a few more snacks in the range, and the app crashed once when I tried to swap a meal.

I used to pay a nutritionist by the hour and this works out far cheaper over a year. Their dietitian replies to questions within a day, which is more than I got before. Been a customer for four years now and it still suits me.

The biggest thing for me was how much cheaper it works out than buying my own ingredients and cooking from scratch every night. The meals arrive chilled and I just heat them up, which saves me time after work. The only niggle is the portions are a bit small if you're hungry, so I've started adding some veg on the side. Still, for the money it's sorted.

Bought the five day meal plan to try before committing to anything longer. Food arrived chilled, everything was labelled with the day, and the instructions were clear enough that I didn't need to google anything. Ordered again the week after.

The first box I bought was the high protein one, and the chicken was well cooked and tasted fine. The price is higher than doing a shop myself, and the box came with more packaging than I expected. Took a few days to hear back when I asked about a missing item.

Compared to the calorie tracking app I'd been paying for, this is a lot quicker to log meals on, though the weekly plan felt a bit generic when I first signed up.

I needed a way to stop buying ready meals every night after my blood pressure came back high at the GP. Signed up for the basic plan, and it's worked out cheaper than takeaways. The recipes are simple, I can batch cook on a Sunday, and the shopping list saves me going round Tesco twice. Good value for what it does.

I have been using this for a few months now and I would say it is very good. The meals arrive exactly as described and the support line answered my questions promptly. It is a sensible option for anyone who finds cooking from scratch a bit much.
