Good day Folks

I started Slimming Meals some seven years ago. It began as an effort to alleviate my stress after coming home from a long day at work and having to cook dinner! I started making meals for myself over weekends and freezing them. After awhile I thought, "I'm sure other people would love this too!" And so, Slimming Meals was born.

There are 3 different types of meals I make. First and foremost, there are the Slimming Meals. They are packed with veggies, only lean cuts of meat, the right amount of carbohydrates and very very little fat, in fact, less than a teaspoon of sunflower oil per meal. The meals are balanced. The formula is 2 protein serves, 2 complex carbs, 2-3 veggie serves and 1 fat serve per meal. These meals are perfect for anyone who wants to watch what they eat and follow and more healthy lifestyle.

The second type of meal I make, is the carb free range. These meals are strictly meat and veg meals. No sauces, no pasta, no rice, no potato. There are many people who like to cut out carbs altogether, so I try to cater for them too. You will find the carb free meals on the order form just below the Slimming Meals.

The third type of meal that I make, is the ordinary meals ("Sally's Kitchen" range). These meals have very little veg in. Only meat and carbs. I use a little onion, some peppers, mushrooms for example, but the main body of the meal, is the meat and rice, pasta. These meals are for people that don't like veggies and are not interested in Slimming Meals or carb free meals. They are on the order form just below the carb free meals.

All meals are sold frozen. I cook in bulk, cool the meals down as rapidly as possible and then freeze them. They can last up to six months in a chest freezer or up to three months in a fridge/freezer. However most of my clients order for the month or a few weeks at a time. Each meal weighs around half a kg/500g. I use microwavable foil containers which can also be used in the oven if you don't like a microwave! One meal per adult or two kids under 8 can share a meal.

How much? R26.80 per meal, down to R20.95 per meal for bulk. Please see pricing structure on our price list. (The excel based order form will add up everything for you.)

How to order? You can either phone through an order or fax or email. My favourite way is if you fill in the order form and mail it to me, thanks! You can also order via my website. There is an on-line order form for Slimming Meals only or you can download the excel based order which has all the stock lines on it.

Note for vegetarians: I do only a few vegetarian meals. Please note that the "V" used on the order form is just to point out the meals which do not contain red meat or chicken. I do understand that you get different kinds of vegetarians. Please read what type of meal it is carefully before ordering if you are not entirely sure if you are one of the following for example:
Pescatarian - Eats no flesh other than fish and seafood
Lacto- ovo vegetarian - eats no flesh of any kind but will eat eggs and dairy products
Lacto-vegetarian- eats no flesh or eggs but will eat dairy
Ovo- vegetarian - eats no flesh but will eat eggs
Vegan - eats no flesh, nor any other animal products

Deliveries are only done on Monday and Thursday morning. (Please note that although I don't mind if you pop in to buy meals without placing an order....it is definitely a better idea to place the order first!)

Suggested heating instructions for meals: Microwavable container – From frozen: Heat on high for about 8-10 min with lid off, then let the meal/s stand for awhile and then tip onto plate (don’t cover), spread & heat for + 5 min more & enjoy! (Heating times are a guide only.) Or defrost naturally and simply heat up on plate, stirring occasionally and this is best. The less time in the microwave, the better.
