No Dine-in, no Problem. Top 10 restaurants offering nutritious meals that are available for delivery and takeaway

As we are homebound for the next couple of weeks; takeout meals and food delivery apps are our BFF’S once again. Whilst all of us had braced ourselves for a new phase considering the spike in cases in the community in the past weeks, these new (yet all too familiar) social distancing measures announced last Friday still came as a huge bummer.

But life has to go on. Gym bunnies might take this time to push themselves to achieve their optimal fitness goals with some virtual workout ideas, but here’s something for the rest of us who prefer to seek consolation in the glorious world of food. Since dining-in has been banned until cases in the community are controlled, we’ve rounded up some delicious takeout and delivery options for you to dabao or order in from home.

Delicious doesn’t always mean unhealthy, though! We get that clean eating and plant-based alternatives are all the rage right now, whereas takeout food doesn’t exactly have the best rep for being ‘nutritious’. While we love a carb-loaded meal or two occasionally, these food heroes listed below are proof that takeout meals can be clean and nutritious just as they are satisfying. From fresh, carb-free pasta-like dishes and quality sushi to Israeli street food and authentic Sri Lankan vegetarian fare, there’s little chance that planning your stay-at-home meals will still be a bore.

PASTA BAR BEST FOR GLUTEN-FREE AND CARB-FREE LASAGNE

If you are looking for a gluten-free, carb-free, and meat-free option, the vegetarian zucchini lasagne ticks all the boxes for a healthful, guilt-free meal. The beef-based zucchini lasagne is also a delicious option to get in a carb-free, protein-packed meal. We have got to have sides and go for their kale salad, and sautéed broccolini are our top picks!
