ABOUT US
Real Food.
Real Care.
A Real Reason Behind It All.
For years, I chased accolades in fast, high-pressure restaurant kitchens. Food was my whole world — until eventually, the pace and the pressure caught up with me. I burnt out. Properly. And with that came a long stretch where my physical and mental health took a real hit. Stepping away was the only option. So I did. I took time to travel — slowly, quietly, without a plan. And in that space, I found myself returning to the one thing I still had the energy for: cooking simply, gently, and just for myself. Nothing fancy. No rush. No tickets, no timers, no performance. Just real food — vegetables, beans, broth, grains, herbs — cooked with intention, and a kind of care I had forgotten in the noise of high-performance restaurant life. And something unexpected happened. I started to feel better. My energy steadied. My sleep improved. My mind softened and lifted. My gut calmed. Little by little, I rebuilt myself — one nourishing bowl at a time. It turns out the old saying is true: you really are what you eat. And when you eat food that’s rooted in whole ingredients, high in fiber, kind to your gut, and cooked with genuine care… your body responds. Your mind, too. When I eventually moved home, I began cooking this way for my family. Watching the difference it made to them — not just the convenience, but the comfort, the nourishment, the ease — was the spark that became PACKED. PACKED is the food that healed me. It’s the food I fed the people I love. And now, it’s the food I make for you. Vegetable-forward, high-fiber, slow-cooked, honest meals — portioned, frozen, and ready for real life. For busy parents. For older parents. For anyone juggling more than a few things and still wanting to eat well. No stress. No chopping. No preservatives. Just real, nourishing food, made by someone who learned the hard way how much it matters.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT
IT TURNS OUT THE OLD SAYING IS TRUE: YOU REALLY ARE WHAT YOU EAT
We know life isn’t a calm, Pinterest-worthy kitchen with fresh herbs, classical music and a child quietly colouring at the table.
Real life is someone crying (usually me), mismatched socks, traffic, reheated coffee, and the never-ending question:
“What’s for dinner?”
You care about healthy food — of course you do.
You’re just also a human, not a 24/7 meal-prep superhero with a deep freezer and infinite tupperwre collection.
That’s exactly why PACKED exists. We’re the shortcut that still counts.
FOOD = FUEL + MOOD
What we eat matters — not in a scary, lecture-y way — but in a “wow I actually have energy again” way.
Good food helps with:
-
Mood (aka fewer emotional plot twists)
-
Concentration (for actual learning and deep work, not leisurely staring at screens)
-
Digestion (no commentary needed)
-
Immunity (less “who brought home the mystery bug?”)
-
Ageing well (no expiry date on feeling good)
Your body and brain are basically shouting:
“Real food, please! And maybe some vegetables that aren’t disguised as potato products!
YOUR GUT: YOUR SECOND BRAIN
(not your sworn enemy)
There are trillions of tiny microbes in your digestive system — think of them as your personal inner cheerleaders, but they prefer carrots over biscuits.
They love:
✔ fibre
✔ colour
✔ plants
✔ variety
They do not thrive on:
✘ chaos meals
✘ “whatever’s left in the fridge”
✘ beige-only food groups (We agree, beige food is delicious! We just believe your microbes deserve friends)
WHY FIBRE MATTERS
(The Short Version: It Does a Lot for You)
Fibre is one of those things everyone knows they should be getting… but most of us don’t get anywhere close. The good news? Our meals are naturally full of it — the kind that does real, noticeable good.
Here’s what a high-fibre diet actually helps with:
HAPPIER DIGESTION
Fibre keeps things moving comfortably and regularly (your future self will applaud you). It also feeds the good bacteria in your gut — the tiny workers that support everything from mood to immunity.
A HEALTHIER HEART
Certain fibres help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, which is one of the simplest ways to support long-term heart health without doing anything more dramatic than eating dinner.
STEADIER ENERGY & BETTER BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL
Fibre slows down how quickly you absorb carbs, meaning fewer spikes and crashes, and more of that steady, comfortable energy you can actually use.
FEELING FULL (IN A GOOD WAY)
High-fibre meals keep you satisfied for longer, helping prevent snack-hunting and over-eating. You feel full, not heavy.
LONG-TERM COLON & GUT HEALTH
A fibre-rich diet supports the cells of your colon and is associated with a reduced risk of certain digestive issues later in life.
In short: fibre supports your digestion, your heart, your energy, your blood sugar, your gut, and your overall health — all at once.
And you don’t need to think about any of this when you’re eating PACKED… because it’s all built in.
WHY EATING WELL AIN'T SO EASY...
Because modern life wasn’t designed for slow-cooked, balanced, vitamin-rich family dinners every night.
Parents juggling work, kids and sanity have roughly:
-
2 minutes to think
-
8 minutes to cook
-
0 minutes to scrub pots
-
emotional capacity: fluctuating daily
And for elderly parents, nutrition gets trickier:
appetite changes, energy dips, favourites become fewer, and convenience usually wins.
Not because people don’t care,
but because life is busy and bodies are tired.
THIS IS WHERE PACKED STEPS IN!
We create meals that are:
✔ vegetable-forward
✔ nutritionally complete
✔ slow cooked like someone had time
✔ freezer-friendly AND delicious
✔ full of flavour, not preservatives
✔ no seed oils, no refined sugars
✔ no unnecessary fats or added salts
No guilt.
No shame.
No “you should be doing more.”
Just good food, made easier, for the people you love.
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS THINK!
Ann Kaye, Ashford
Honestly, PACKED has been a lifesaver for us. Between work, homework and after-school chaos, we were relying on quick fixes far too often. Now the kids are eating actual vegetables — and loving them. Every meal tastes homemade, not ‘meal-prep’ at all. It’s taken so much pressure out of our evenings.
Colm Coyle, Delgany
I started ordering PACKED for my elderly parents after Dad’s appetite dropped and Mum was too exhausted to cook every day. The difference has been incredible. They’re eating proper, nourishing food again — no fuss, no waste, no stress. Dad says "If all healthy food tasted like this, I’d have started eating well years ago," which is probably the best review you can get.
Kimberly Kiyui, Greystones
We wanted to eat more plant-based meals but never found the time to cook from scratch. PACKED has solved that completely. Everything is flavour-packed, filling and surprisingly affordable considering the quality. We’ve more energy, less stress, and the fridge always feels ready for the week.
