How To Get Motivation For Fitness - with BARE FIT CO

Isolation and the inability to go out to eat has amped up the demand for food delivery services, and far from a quick feed, some of the healthiest, most nutritious meals can now be delivered to your door.

From plant-based nutrition to energy-boosting meal plans, the quality and variety of food is inspiring and makes it easy to stay healthy (and sane).

It’s no wonder the online food delivery market in Australia has been growing at a rapid rate at a 7.1% increase per annum, with total revenue for 2020 estimated to be around $2.9 billion AUD.

These 5 home-delivery services are rapidly growing in popularity: Soulara, Thr1ve, Garden of Vegan, YouFoodz and Dineamic.
