Lean is the new Mean

Hi Everyone!

Have you ever felt guilty for eating greasy unhealthy stuff through the weeks? Nasi Lemak Sambal Paru for breakfast, Mcdonalds for lunch and Mee Goreng Mamak for dinner sounds like your usual breakfast to dinner menu? Is your cholesterol level through the roof and you have always wanted to begin eating healthy but don't know where to start? Well, now you can order  pre-cooked and nutritious healthy meals and have them delivered to your doorstep!

Don't you just love how social media has made our lives as a consumer much easier? You can order things online and have them delivered right to your doorstep. You don't even have to leave your house to make a purchase! 

The Lean Canteen is a healthy-meal service that was created by food lovers for food lovers, who are also looking to stay healthy while keeping up with a busy schedule. 

It is important that the food you eat on a daily basis does not only keep you full but also provide good nutrition for your body. Good nutrition, coupled with regular exercise combat illnesses as well as will help you maintain your ideal body weight. It is basically your ticket to a healthy lifestyle.

When I placed my order through e-mail, Aina, was very quick to reply and address all of my queries. They update their menu from time to time so be sure to ask for an updated menu. Pick out your orders and choose your payment options (COD or bank transfer). Do note that there is a minimum requirement of four orders to proceed with delivery. They deliver every Mondays and Wednesdays and aim to deliver to all customers between 10.30 a.m. - 1 p.m. and they normally charge between RM5-7 for deliveries around KL and PJ.


February Menu

There was a typo in the Fisherman's curry description listed in the menu above. 
This is the updated description.

As you can see, the price of the meals ranges between RM13 - RM18, very reasonable and affordable I must say. The food are vacuum packed to maintain its freshness and can last up to 6 days if you keep them refrigerated at all times. The best before date is displayed on the container. This is great for you to pre-planned your weekly meals in advanced! When you're ready to have your healthy meal, you can either choose to reheat using microwave for 2-3 minutes over medium power or using your conventional stovetop. They also provide clear re-heating instructions on the container.

I must say, the food was delicious, ingredients used were fresh and the portion is adequate to keep you full. Contrary to popular belief,  healthy food does not always have to taste horrible! Now, I am totally out of excuses to start eating healthy more frequently.


To order, you can contact Aina either via email at theleancanteen@gmail.com or alternatively you can whatsapp her at 012-2086440. For more information you can also visit their facebook or instagram page.



Till Then, Happy Healthy Eating!
