Youfoodz and Diabetes Australia have teamed up to create a new range of meals that aim to make life easier for Australians living with, or at risk of diabetes.

Now available at youfoodz.com, the new Healthy Balanced range offers 25 fresh meals developed in collaboration with nutrition experts from Diabetes Australia.

Among the meals, which are promoted as being “ready in minutes”, are “classics” such as Roast Chicken in Capsicum Sauce and Roast Beef and Minted Gravy, and “culinary delights” from Europe, Asia and the Middle East

Youfoodz will also donate 50¢ from the sale of every meal to Diabetes Australia to help the organisation continue its work for people living with, and at risk of, diabetes. 

Diabetes Australia Group CEO Justine Cain says the partnership is designed to make it easier for people living with diabetes to make healthy food choices.  

“Living with diabetes means making lots of daily decisions. The new Healthy Balanced range is designed to take out the stress without compromising on taste” she says.  

“This is a new era of how we support people living with diabetes with practical, real-world solutions to make life that little bit easier. 

“We all live busy lives, so it’s really important for people to have options for healthy eating for days when cooking just isn’t on the cards.” 

Youfoodz Managing Director Rajah Augustinraj says the company is proud to partner with Diabetes Australia to support the diabetes community and provide a great new range of meals. 

“At Youfoodz, we’re all about providing fresh, healthy ready meals for Australians living busy lives. The new Healthy Balanced range is made with wholesome Aussie ingredients, loaded with natural proteins and packed with fresh veggies in every pack,” he says.

“We’re also proud to support the important work of Diabetes Australia by donating 50¢ from every meal to make healthy eating easier for all Australians. It’s a choice our customers can feel really good about.”    

Diabetes Australia’s Accredited Practising Dietician Rebecca McPhee says the fresh meals are made with quality ingredients, and unlike many ready-made options, are low in sodium.   

“They’re a great lunch choice for busy people on the go, or an easy dinner solution a few nights a week,” she says. 

“As with any healthy eating plan, variety is key, and this range offers something for everyone.  

“With calorie and carbohydrate-controlled portions plus a good balance of protein and fibre, the guesswork is taken out of healthy eating, helping you stay satisfied and on track.”
