New healthy food subscription service launched in Doncaster

Food lover Roxana Woolley from Intake decided to set up Yolo Food Box after clients of her personal trainer husband started to ask her advice on nutrition.

The 29-year-old said: “I was already cooking in a healthy way for myself and my husband but then I started to make shakes and bars for my husband's clients.

“Many of them had slipped into bad eating habits during lockdown even eating crisps right after a workout.

“A lot of us have been guilty of being a bit lazy during the pandemic which I can totally understand.

“Standing in queues for the supermarket and the new normal can be off-putting.

“So I thought I could make it easier for people to be healthy.”

Roxana started to cook full meals personalised to individual clients' needs.

She has three diet plans based on caloric intake and restrictions and allergies can be worked around.

“Many people are busy with work and do not have time to prepare themselves healthy meals,” she continued.

“I love food and I want to help people.

“If they’re not cooking they have more time to spend with their families.”

Roxana says that her goal is to show people that healthy food can taste good and that the switch in lifestyles can be rewarding.

She offers her clients a range of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Meal plans change on a weekly basis to add variety to people's diets.

Roxana is passionate about using locally sourced ingredients in her cooking.

“I currently buy the raw goods from the Doncaster Market,” she said.

“But in the future, I want to go even more local and use a single farm.

“It’s so important to support our independent industries and I want to be able to tell my customers exactly where their food was grown.”

Yolo Food Box is offering delivery across Doncaster.
