We do! We take all the stress away from deciding. Our team of chefs, experienced nutritionists and dietary experts combine science and research with innovative cooking to create balanced meals that keep you feeling energised, strong and happy in your body.
At breakfast you can expect to receive a variety of yummy home-made muesli’s, nut butters with fresh fruit and rye bread, smoked salmon and avocado to name a few, lunch is typically a salad or a soup served with lots of veggies and protein, and dinner is always something more substantial such as one of our delicious curries, quinoa risottos or simple baked fish with steamed veggies. You will also get 2 snacks for each day – you really won’t need to go near the shops!
Our plans don’t contain any wheat, pork or shellfish as a whole ingredient but might contain traces. But don’t worry! We don’t believe in neglecting any of the main food groups in our Balance Box dishes and we firmly believe that a diet made up of fats, protein and carbs is key to happy, healthy sustainable results.

Booking in for a subscription of Balance Box will definitely get you the best price. This doesn’t have to be for a full week of deliveries, you can join our subscription service and opt to receive just a 4-day box each week or just a 3-day box each week. The cost works out from £24.99 to £35.99 per day (plus delivery charge) for your box depending on what portion size you choose.
When you sign up to our subscription service, a repeat payment will be taken every 4 weeks (for the next 4 weeks’ worth of boxes) – this is normally taken on a Monday. You can cancel your repeat payment at any time after the minimum term, as long as you tell us by midnight on the Sunday (day before we take your payment). The minimum term for this is 4 weeks, however, if you order multiple boxes and need to pop a box on hold that’s no problem – Pre-paid boxes are valid for 1 year from the date of purchase.
Staying on track with your healthy eating can be hard. With so much conflicting nutrition information, poor dietary advice and quick-fix promises, it can all be truly overwhelming. The good news is that you don’t have to risk your health in order to achieve your weight loss target. With Balance Box, you get delicious, ready-made food delivered straight to your door. Each day has its own nutritionally-balanced and calorie-controlled healthy eating plan designed by our expert nutritionists, helping you lose weight the easy (and tasty) way.
One of the most important things will be to stay consistent. Creating a consistent behaviour when it comes to your diet will help create healthy habits and in turn, help you keep your results in the long term. Deviating from your plan can easily make you go ‘off-track’ and it can undo all your hard work. We are here to help you!
At Balance Box we believe leading a healthy lifestyle is all about balance, this is why we also provide a 3 day box and a 4 day box in case this arrangement works better for you, however, for best results, we do recommend doing the ‘full week’ plan.
We have two delivery structures based on where you live:
LONDON CLIENTS:
We’ll deliver your box like old-fashioned milk bottles and have no intention of disturbing you – the box will be sitting on your doorstep (or wherever you ask us to leave it), ready for when you wake up meaning you can tuck straight into your healthy breakfast!

Your 3-day box will be delivered between 10pm on Thursday and 6:30am on a Friday morning.

Our boxes are designed to stay cool with the use of insulated liners which are packed up with lots of ice so that your food stays fresh for when you return home that evening, however, it is important that you refrigerate your food as soon as possible so that it keeps this way.

If you have a specific allergy to a food or food group, please call us on 02077208583 to discuss – you never know – we might not use the ingredient that you are allergic too.
Alternatively, our sister company – The Pure Package can cater for food allergies as well as any dislikes. Please visit for more information – https://www.purepackage.com/.
Our plans don’t contain many things that are commonly avoided including offal, bones or any wheat, pork and shellfish (we can’t 100% guarantee that your food will be free of trace elements) or anything you would consider a pet like a rabbit. We ethically source all our ingredients and avoid any unnecessary preservatives or additives. We believe in fresh natural ingredients.

Our Free-From Box is free-from wheat, gluten, fish, meat and cow’s dairy. However please note that this box does contain lactose from goats and sheep’s products and as it is prepared in the same kitchens there may be traces of common allergens.
(Please note that we can’t guarantee there won’t be a trace of one of these ingredients in your box).
We aim to please and do our best to deliver delicious dishes full of variety. We would love it if you gave all our dishes a try as who knows – we may have the power to turn you! Our 3-day or 4-day box could be the perfect box to try as an initial taster.
However, if you are set against broccoli or another ingredient that you receive we suggest that you supplement that ingredient or meal with something else yourself, perhaps another vegetable. Balance Box has a set menu so unfortunately, we’re not able to make any personal changes.
Finally, you can always sign up to our big sister, The Pure Package, where you will be able to make changes to suit your food preferences and personalise your programme.
Is the Free From box suitable for a Coeliac?
Warning! – Our food is suitable for a coeliac, but our kitchen is not a gluten-free environment.
We don’t use any unnecessary artificial additives or preservatives.
We believe in fresh natural ingredients.
You will be amazed at how much food you receive in our boxes, even on the 1200 calorie plan! Once you start eating healthier and reduce the amount of unhealthy calorie-rich foods, you can bulk up your plate with other delicious foods that will keep you fuller for longer. Our clients are always surprised to find how satisfied they feel! However, if you don’t feel satisfied, you can either increase your portion to the Market plan so that you receive larger portions or if you prefer, you could eat an extra portion of raw fruit or vegetables (around 100-120g) with a small handful of raw nuts or seeds.
All our dinner meals are designed to be heated and yes, this can be done in a microwave – please follow the instructions found on your menu. Alternatively, you can transfer the contents of the pot to an ovenproof dish, cover it with foil and place in the oven for 20-25mins.
Some breakfasts and lunches are really yummy heated up (especially in the winter) and we will highlight which ones we suggest heating on your menu, but these can be enjoyed cold if you don’t have access to a microwave or oven.
If you have signed up for our subscription plan and live in London (or within the M25), we will happily pick up the boxes, insulation, icepacks, etc when we next deliver. Please leave the box out on a Sunday evening for collection. Simply leave out in your designated delivery spot and we will take it away and replace it with a full box of food.
If you do not have another delivery scheduled, please let us know that you will be leaving the packaging out and we will arrange collection.
Unfortunately, we are unable to pick up the boxes for our nationwide clients, however, all our boxes, pots and menus are recyclable. The insulation is also recyclable, and our icepacks are re-usable.
You can tell that we really do care about the world we live in!
So long as you meet our deadlines you can cancel your subscription at any time, and we can simply pop any remaining undelivered boxes on hold to deliver later, that’s no problem.
Pre-paid boxes are valid for 1 year from the date of purchase. If you would like a refund, we can only offer a refund on the remaining value.

This very much depends on the individual. Some of our clients see results straight away, whilst others see a more gradual change. We recommend rather than focussing too much on the scales, try and focus on how you feel and how you feel in your clothes.
We offer a variety of plans including our Classic plan, Vegetarian plan, Pescatarian plan and Free-From plan, click here to find out more.
We deliver to mainland UK postcodes excluding Northern Ireland, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and the Scottish Highlands, Islands and some other areas we can’t due to the restriction of our out of London couriers (sorry).
