Christina Thomas handpicks the recipes she wants for her weekly meal deliveries from FOODwelove.

With a food philosophy that focuses on good food, from the sourcing, creating and prepping, to the cooking or baking, presenting and serving, Thomas, along with her business partner Stephanie Schwatlo ensures that those to whom they deliver food to are presented with a meal to kickstart midday productivity.

While the bunless beef burger with feta cheese, rocket, tomato on carrot and sweet potato wedges is a firm favourite among clients, the meals, which come in four categories, have a thing for going above and beyond expectations.

Available to Cape Town-based offices, FOODwelove delivers a range of deliciously wholesome staff lunches to businesses and offices every day.

The initiative started after the pair realised that having a decent, healthy lunch at work helps reduce stress levels, nourishes the brain, increases performance and satisfies hunger.

After all, it’s not rocket science that a high-fat, high-sugar lunch results in staff hitting low energy levels by 3PM.

While we can all come up with plenty of excuses to make poor eating decisions during the workday, it’s important to choose heavy proteins and healthy fats when deciding on lunch.

It’s important for businesses to make a conscious decision to provide healthy eating options, containing heavy proteins and healthy fats, when providing staff lunch.

After all, healthy employees mean higher productivity levels.

Started in 2015, the FOODwelove office delivery service allows individuals or companies to sign up to a daily delivery service for the following week, which provides healthy, suitable lunches.

Whether it’s the Healthy Lunch Box, Comfort Classic, Vegan or Light Lunch option, every diet and preference is catered for every day.

How great would it be for you to not have to think about what you are going to eat every day?

Stephanie chatted to 2oceansvibe radio host, Rhowan, about what it means for businesses when they go the extra mile to take care of their staff.

Happy lunching:
