When it comes to New Year's resolutions one of the most prevalent each year is to eat healthier, in fact, according to Statista this was the second most common 2025 resolution for Americans (the first was saving more money). So, if you are one of the many people who want to eat healthier in 2025 then we're here to give you a helping hand!
One of the main problems with trying to eat healthy is time. Having to meal plan, prepare and cook your own healthy meals while working a full time job is a whole lot of effort. This is especially hard given that in China you've also got the temptation of being able to order waimai from pretty much any restaurant and for a relatively cheap price too. Well, we have a solution for you: healthy meal plans delivered right to your door and here are a few spots that do just that.
Basil
Founded in July 2020, Basil has three different meal plans to choose from: Fit, Veg and Keto and each supplies two meals a day, Monday to Friday. You can choose to order a plan from one week up to eight weeks, with the price per meal being cheaper the more weeks you buy and can see the pricing for each plan in the picture below.
If you want a bigger portion they have Basil Plus available for all three plans which increases the portion by 50 percent. They also have a range of add-ons available which includes things like overnight oats, energy balls, protein bars and more. What's more, Basil recently opened up a physical store so if you want to try some of their meals before committing to a plan you can head to their eatery in Shangdu Soho or via waimai.
To order one of Basil's meal plans you can scan the QR code below to follow their official account and then click the "order" button in the bottom left hand side. Orders are delivered daily either in the morning (9.30am-11am) or in the evening (6.30pm-8.30pm) Monday to Friday.

TRIBE Nutrition
TRIBE Nutrition have been delivering healthy meal plans to Beijing's hungry workers since 2015. They currently have five meal plans to choose from via their WeChat*: Healthy Living, Slim, Accelerated Slim, Mediterranean Diet and Bulking.
