When you’re craving a delicious meal or need a quick solution for dinner, ordering in might seem like the easiest option. Regularly getting a takeout however can quickly become expensive and isn’t always the best option if you’re trying to stay healthy. So, what’s the solution?

With 60% of American’s ordering a takeaway once a week, swapping your regular fast food go-to with a ‘fakeaway’ allows you to not only control what you’re eating but is also much more friendly on the purse strings.1

Evidence suggests we’ve become more health-conscious when it comes to our meal choices in the past year with Google searches for ‘healthy takeaway near me’ increasing by 130% and ‘yummy healthy dinner recipes’ skyrocketing by 500%!2

Inspired by three of the nation’s favorite takeaway cuisines, Wren Kitchens have collaborated with content creator Mary Sargent from @themarysarge on Instagram to create delicious, healthy alternatives. Passionate about eating healthily, Mary’s innovative recipes are designed to be just as tasty as the real thing.
