The clean eating aka #eatclean trend has been so popular in the recent years that it has now become a major movement. The trend, spurred by people from all walks of life, involves eating whole foods and letting the ingredients guide the meal in order to feel good about what is being put into our bodies. In short, and this saying probably rings truest in this aspect, you are what you eat.
But for city slickers, especially, preparing a clean meal can prove to be a challenge because we’re constantly rushing our way through the day from the moment we wake up till the hours that we’re stuck epic traffic jams trying to get home. So much so that more and more people are left with no choice but to forego eating clean and instead eat out where food is not always clean or healthy – sometimes, alone.
Ah, but if there’s a will, there’s a way! And the saying is true with the rise of health food delivery services. Available in mostly KL and PJ, these healthy meal delivery services will help you eat healthy whether you’re up to your elbows at work or juggling 3 kids and a heap of housework at home. Yes, it’s true, you won’t have to compromise your diet after all!
Here are some of our #eatclean delivery suggestions that you seriously need to try at least once:
1. Chopstick Diner
In August this year, food technologist and food stylist Elaine Ho started a salad delivery business to provide healthier lunch options for everyone. The mother of 2 runs a website that provides simple and delicious Asian and Western meals which are freshly prepared right before it gets delivered to a client. However, to ensure that your lunchbox gets to you, the order needs to be made a day before the day of delivery (latest order in by 10pm).
Priced at a reasonable RM15 per lunchbox, the Chopstick Diner Lunchbox is available in 5 flavours such as grilled chicken caesar salad, Vietnamese chicken salad, avocado salad, Thai beef salad, and Vietnamese fresh spring rolls. The delivery is free (to one delivery address) for orders above RM50 and a RM5 surcharge for orders below RM50.
Chopstick Diner currently delivers to Petaling Jaya (Postcode 46000-46200), Kuala Lumpur City, Mont Kiara, Bangsar, Bangsar South, Sentral, and Damansara Heights. Additional delivery charges may apply for deliveries outside those areas.

2. The Rebellious Chickpea
A business run mostly via its social media platforms, The Rebellious Chickpea is a delivery service that offers healthy and delicious food to those who want great taste and still be mindful of what they eat. As such, their promise is that they buy fresh ingredients daily from the market and they sure put a lot of thought into the food that they prepare, right down to slow-roasting cherry tomatoes with oregano and olive oil before it’s made into tomato sauce!
Yes, you read right. The Rebellious Chickpea offers meals that are made from scratch – except the pasta. Granted, the owner of The Rebellious Chickpea says that she doesn’t also milk the cow to make the cheese, but it’s something she plans to do in the future 😉
From healthy meals that are priced at RM15 each and good-for-you snacks, everything is made fresh. Their menu varies every week (yay!) and delivery is free of charge to those living in the Klang Valley.

3. The Naked Lunch Box
Going vegan in Malaysia was just made easier by The Naked Lunch Box. Not only does their service offer healthy food delivery service, they also offer a “no nonsense” variety of paleo, raw meals, and vegan food to be delivered to your office during lunch. Yes, going vegan does limit the kind of meals you can have but The Naked Lunch Box changes its menu on a monthly basis so you won’t get bored of their food.
The business is also mostly run on their social media platforms, hence you’d need to follow them closely for the release of their monthly menu. After which, you can either drop them a message on Facebook, Instagram direct them, or e-mail them. The Naked Lunchbox receives payment via e-banking so it’s super convenient as there’ll be no scrambling for loose change upon receiving your delivery!
There’s a minimum order of 3 lunchboxes/dates per customer and they can cater for small meetings and other office events too. Deliveries, to PJ and KL, are sent out every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

4. The Lean Canteen
The Lean Canteen promises that you’ll “feel good with lean food!” – and judging by the meals they whip up, we’d find that a little hard to disagree with. Created by food lovers for food lovers who are looking to stay healthy while keeping up with a busy schedule, The Lean Canteen prioritises good nutrition when it comes to preparing their meals. But that doesn’t mean that their food is boring per se.
They’ve got interesting names for the types of cuisines that they serve such as “The Taj Mahal”, “Don Aglio”, “Bangkok Beef”, and “Salmon Khan”, which ranges from RM13 to RM19. Of course, that’s not all they have to offer – The Lean Canteen also includes fried rice, buritos, and pastas in their menu. The meals are freshly prepared from a centralised kitchen then delivered. Safe to say, that was enough to pique our interest!
We also hear that they work closely with a nutritionist so that the food they serve average to about 500 calories per meal. What? That’s godsent!
The Lean Machine’s delivery days are Monday till Sunday to pick-up points in Klang Valley. To order, e-mail theleancanteen@gmail.com, Whatsapp Mark 012-3682980 or Aina 012-2086440.

5. EatClean KL
Since January 2013, EatClean KL has been advocating healthy living by encouraging healthy diets and Khairena is doing it right!
This is because Khairena, the one-woman-show behind the delivery service, strongly believes that it can be done “one meal at a time” and as such, she offers only wholesome yummy home cooked food, a healthier alternative at super reasonable prices.
