Growing Australian company, Lite n' Easy, has been rated the number one healthy meal delivery service for the second year in a row.
Canstar Blue surveyed 944 Australian adults who used healthy meal delivery services over the last six months. Respondents weighed in on factors including taste and quality, variety of meals, freshness, ease of ordering, delivery, customer service and overall satisfaction. Lite n' Easy was the only brand to be given 5 stars in each of these categories.
Healthy meal delivery services gained increased popularity with approximately 19% of Australians admitting to using a service for the first time during COVID-19. Many customers opted to avoid the shops and have healthy meals delivered to their door contact free.
Lite n' Easy's CEO Dennis Stark says, "We are thrilled to be rated number 1 again this year and are proud we were able to continue to deliver healthy meals safely to all of our customers, especially those who were most at risk over the past few months."
In 2020, Lite n' Easy made older Australians their priority when it came to the delivery of their ready-made meals.
Lite n' Easy are supporting older Australians with an increase in customers ordering healthy meals via a Home Care Package. Over 500 providers are currently registered with Lite n' Easy making it easier for customers to access healthy, subsidised meals to eat at home.
"Our meals are perfect for younger and older Australians wanting the convenience of having healthy and tasty meals at home," said Dennis.
"We know the past year has been extremely tough on many people, so knowing we have made a difference is a great feeling for everyone at Lite n' Easy," added Dennis.

Canstar Blue Editor-in-Chief, Simon Downes, said: "Congratulations to Lite n' Easy for delivering the goods for the second year in a row. This is a quickly evolving and increasingly competitive market so to top our ratings for two years in a row is a great achievement.
"Consumers are rightfully very demanding of their healthy meal delivery service provider, from the online ordering experience, to the quality of the food, meal variety, delivery options, and naturally they want to get good value for their money. There's a lot to get right – and a lot that can go wrong – which makes Lite n' Easy's back-to-back wins so notable.
"It would make sense that the healthy meal delivery market continues to grow in the years ahead, so consumers are hard to please but likely to remain loyal to the companies that consistently deliver on their promises of providing great-quality, healthy meals at a reasonable price."
