Homemade Meals by Balance

  • Quality, flavour & value

    Fresh, sustainably sourced ingredients. Cooked fresh and carefully packaged.

    Our ingredients & local suppliers

    We choose only the best fresh ingredients, sustainably sourced, and use and support other local small businesses. Quality, flavour and value for money always come first.

  • Heat, reuse, recycle

    Microwave or oven heating. Our reusable, recyclable tubs are not ovenproof.

    Packaging & heating

    Follow the heating instructions for your meal. For oven heating, always transfer the food into an ovenproof dish — our containers are not ovenproof.

    Our tubs are reusable and recyclable. Check local recycling guidance when you’re ready to dispose of them.

  • Less prep, less mess

    Less cooking, less washing up and more time for you.

    Where you can save

    Let us take care of the cooking. Ready-made portions can help you save on buying individual ingredients, while less cooking at home can reduce energy use and utility costs.

    Spend less time preparing meals and washing up, and more time enjoying your day.

  • Build Your Balance

    Easy, convenient prepared ingredients to combine your way — saving time and helping your budget go further.

    How it makes life easier

    Choose prepared proteins, carbohydrates, vegetables, sides and sauces. We handle the prep and cooking; you portion and combine them your way.

    A flexible way to save time and money, with fewer ingredients to buy and less washing up.
