The Powermeals manifesto
We believe that following a diet that is both delicious and nutritious should be easy.
We also care deeply about the quality of the ingredients we use and the impact we are having on the planet.
Here are the five commitments we've pledged to uphold our values while achieving our objectives.
#1 We help you feel great
All the health benefits of top quality home-cooking, without the time in the kitchen.
Our non-negotiable health promises:
- No nasty additives or preservatives, our meals are cooked from scratch with real ingredients in the days before delivery.
- All our meals achieve a nutri-score of A or B. We work with nutritionists to make sure our meals provide healthy ratios of macronutrients.
- You’ll find at least 2 different fruits or vegetables in every dish to help you towards the all important 5-a-day target.
- Our dishes come pre-portioned in healthy sizes with low-carb, medium or large options available depending on your needs.
- We respect recommended daily allowances. None of our dishes exceed the salt or saturated fat recommendations.
100% freshly cooked
#2 We bring joy to mealtimes
The most exciting and delicious recipes from Switzerland and around the world, to your table.
We deliver mouth-watering variety:
- Offering 10s of different recipes each week, using a range of exciting seasonal ingredients.
- Changing our menu every season and every week so you never get bored.
- Always providing options for vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free, high-protein, low-carb and gluten-free diets. We’ve got something for everyone!
#3 We save you time
Healthy, high-quality meals, even when life gets busy.
We save you time and remove the stress from mealtimes:
- Creating delicious and complex recipes that you would otherwise struggle to cook at home. Think slow-cooked beef, basil-infused ratatouille, layered lasagne...
- Delivering fresh meals that can be ready to eat in just 3 minutes. No shopping, cooking or washing up needed.
- Being ready when you need us. Our meals last 5 to 9 days in the fridge depending on the recipe, so you can always have a dish on hand.
100% free-range
#4 We source ingredients with care
Seasonal, local ingredients and high quality products throughout our menus.
We commit to:
- Using 100% free-range meat and eggs, to protect our animal friends.
- Never buying fruits or vegetables from other continents that we can get from Europe. Our ingredients are from Switzerland whenever possible.
- Relying exclusively on sustainable fishing or aquaculture. All our sea ingredients bear one of these certifications: ASC, MSC, AquaGap, Friends of the sea.
- We are careful in our use of exotic ingredients. When sourced from developing countries, we ensure they come from Fairtrade and don’t cause deforestation.
#5 We care about our beautiful planet
We have a responsibility to do our best for the beautiful planet we live on.
As well as being thoughtful in our use of ingredients we also reduce waste:
- We minimise food waste from our processes by ordering our ingredients fresh after we’ve received your orders. Unlike most restaurants, that allows us to buy exactly what we need, so nothing goes in the bin. This is also why we ask for 6 days warning for all orders.
- We are always on the look-out for ways to reduce the impact of our packaging, and we use reusable or recyclable packaging wherever possible.
0% food waste
