Do you always eat healthy meals? Why not? Is it too pricey? Is it inconvenient? Do you not have enough time? Well you no longer have any excuses because SpoonRocket is here to deliver healthy meals to you.

SpoonRocket is an on-demand food delivery company that claims to provide “the most convenient meal ever.” Their goal is to provide affordable, healthy foods made daily with high quality, fresh ingredients. SpoonRocket wants everyone to be able to afford to eat well everyday. But the unique feature of SpoonRocket is their “speed of light delivery” that strives for curbside delivery in less than 15 minutes. Now that’s impressive.

SpoonRocket offers lunch, dinner, and late night snacks. They use high-end chefs to create and design unique meals daily. For every meal, SpoonRocket offers two options – one meat option and one veggie option. Once the meals are made, SpoonRocket uses special heating devices in the passenger seat of their delivery vehicles to keep the food warm. This allows them to anticipate delivery demands and cut down delivery times.

If you think that Thai Curry Chicken, Garlic Butter Baked Salmon, Chicken Tikka Masala, Rigatoni with Roasted Tomato Cream Sauce, Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese with BBQ Pulled Pork, or Korean BBQ Chicken sounds perfect for your next meal, then download the SpoonRocket app on your iOS or Android device.
