Best For Gut Health: Field Doctor
The brainchild of a dietitian and a Michelin-trained chef, Field Doctor is putting a healthy spin on frozen meals. Using ingredients from sustainably focused producers, meals are made in small batches in Somerset, flash-frozen to lock-in goodness, and contain at least two of your five-a-day. Expect classic combinations with a twist – think sweet potato and spinach korma, smoked mushroom carbonara and vegetable moussaka. There’s also the option to filter by health priority, and the range contains low-FODMAP meals for those suffering with IBS. The team also offers access to specialist IBS dietitians for online consultations and dietary support.

Best For The Freezer: Planty
Planty’s fresh, ready-to-eat plant-based meals can be delivered to your doorstep as and when you choose. Pick from an extensive menu – our favourites include cauliflower korma, baked gnocchi ragu, pumpkin ravioli and the creamy ’nduja stew – and once you’ve enjoyed your dishes, either recycle, compost or return the packaging to Planty for free and they’ll reuse it as much as possible. The plant-based puddings – sticky date pudding and beetroot red velvet cake are highlights – are a useful addition to your freezer for when a sweet craving strikes.
