Core Powerfoods

Several times there are chicken bones in my food. I find this quite disgusting. Others might not but it does really effect me. I don't trust your process anymore.

Not edible. Didn’t taste anything like a satay chicken and rice. Rice was bland, unseasoned and took on the gross taste of the green soggy beans. Gave it to the cat to eat who took a sniff and ran! The chicken was odd looking. Even after I had mixed it around, there was a watery residue in the bottom of the container. While the sauce was dried up… Read more

on the chicken. It wasn’t crunchy at all. It didn’t even taste like peanuts even went in the sauce. I will never purchase any of their products again.

Had the Core PowerFoods Beef Tortolleni and I thought I cooked the packaging by mistake because it tasted like cardboard. The pasta was dry and it had a bland taste. I only ate half then binned it. All these "protein" foods are getting ridiculous. Not cheap at $9.50. I'd rather eat a piece of toast. Show details

Just had the Penne Bolognese. It was ok without being great. Was certainly not as bad as some of the reviews I have seen on here. I would buy it again. Rated 78/100 by Yuka which is excellent. Show details

Tried the Chicken Satay. The taste was very good (tic) and the meal was cooked well (tic) inasmuch as it included green beans, which are usually like cardboard in frozen meals, but were very tender and tasty. There was not enough sauce, and when cooked, there was a lot of water in the bottom that could have merged with the sauce if there had… Read more

been more sauce. The chicken was a little dry, but more sauce would have prevented that. Overall, I enjoyed it and will buy again, but need more sauce.

at $7.50 per meal from the supermarket, cant go wrong, frozen aspect also great, keep them in the freezer, eat them when you want them, great taste, clean eating and great value. Ive tried a lot of the others, for convenience and value for money these are my favourites! Show details

I buy about 7 packs a week mostly healthy.But noticed in some of their products they have replaced high quality protein with cheaper SOY protein!But charge the same price!!Careful what you purchase Not good that the company has SNEAKED in this CHEAPER protein change! Show details

Overall not bad, healthy and affordable – Some meals are good and some really aren’t good. I just stick with the recipes I like. Great for clean eating. Also, Core Foods did you change the recipe for the bangers and mash, used to be my fav meal but had it recently and the sausage tasted different, not good. Show details

Disappointing – Recently changed the bangers an mash, sausages are smaller have different meat an taste fake, did have sweet potato that tasted great for a frozen meal but now has powder mash an you can taste the powder, gone from being one of my favourite frozen meals to ill never buy another, so disappointed. Show details

Cheap affordable meals, – Great meals for 6.90, especially love the smoky meatballs, and chicken ravioli, holy meatballs, chicken fried rice,my favourite.. I order the ones I like, and don't order in the packages, has helped me loose weight, and keep my energy up whilst working out in a calorie deficit.. Cheap affordable frozen meals, have been a blessing, highly recommend,thanks core powerfoods Show details

Very happy – First week of trying this and could not be happier with quality and taste. I’ve tried a few different companies but think I’ve found the one I’m sticking to. Show details

Misleading their customers about calories – Last week the CorePowerfoods website showed the Deep South chilli meal as being 2,695 kj. This is the same as what is on the package and seems unusually high for such a simple meal, so I checked with the company who confirmed it to be correct. Then, the following week the exact same meal suddenly appeared on their website at much lower kjs-… Read more

2,100 kj.

infact, the exact same meal has changed vastly in the last 2 years:

- 7 November 2024 (website): 2,695 kj - 18 November 2024 (website): 2,100 kj - current packaging: 2,695 kj - early 2024 and 2023 (website/packaging): 1,666 kj - Instagram: 1,660 kj

It’s disappointing that I can no longer trust accuracy of the nutritional information! Or even core power foods to truthfully explain what is correct. They claim a change in beef quality equals the nutrition to change , however this simply doesn’t happen to the degree that is being listed. I’m some cases the meal has increased by a whopping 1000 kjs (250 calories) with no change to the size of the meal. So something is not adding up.

You have lost a customer.

Always on point – I've been eating these on and off for around 6 yrs or so, and have no real issues. The variety has improved in recent years and I'll continue to buy them as long as there around! Show details

Meets my needs – I have read a lot of the reviews and sometimes experienced the water content issue that others have described however I find that if I heat them a little longer and then let them stand for a couple of mins most of the time this is not a problem. Having said that I am actively trying to incorporate more food with less caloric density so I welcome… Read more

some fluid in my meals. The meal portions are just right for me and my favourite ones are any of the meatball meals, bangers and mash, bbq mixed grill, tortellini, pasta la vista and the anabolic chicken. Are these meals gourmet? No, but I reach for them knowing they will meet my needs at the end of a long day. I'm a simple eater and appreciate and like the simplicity of these meals. The meals are packed well for delivery and stack well in the freezer. I am conscious of the amount of plastic that I am using and wish that the lids were a little less brittle so that I could reuse the containers. Having said that they are recyclable. Price point is ok for what they are but if the price ever went up I might balk at buying more.

Will not be using again – Terrible meals , loaded with water , no Seasoning. Very bland. Most of my meals where 40/50% frozen peas. One of the meals looked like cheap coles sausages and diced frozen veg. One meal had zero flavour and was meant to be peppercorn flavour. The bottom of the microwave is always full of water after heating. They are charging for meals that are loaded with cheap frozen vegs like peas or diced veg. Show details

Yummy, healthy and convenient meals for $6.90 – Tasty, healthy, convenient and cost-effective. Core Power Foods was recommended to me by my local Gourmet Butcher and I am so glad they did. So cool to be able to go to your freezer and within minutes, have a yummy meal to tuck into. Portion controlled but filling at the same time. I think the quality of the ingredients is high and each meal is… Read more

packed full of flavour. Great value for $6.90. Easy to order. I received a tracking update and the meals were arriving on a day I was not going to be home. I rang the number provided to speak to someone about it and was directed to a message service. I received a call back within 15 minutes from a very polite and friendly team member. Because it was 48 hours before delivery, they pushed it back a day for me. Highly recommend!

Ok for price point – Ok food price point it is convenient and arrived well packaged. Got my first box delivered yesterday. The delivery was really on efficient and food was still frozen. The containers the meals are packed in are brittle and some were broken on arrival. The meals are cheaper than another meal provider I have been using but they are also much… Read more

smaller in size. I have tried the bangers and mash which was very tasty but really small. The ingredients appeared to be good quality. I am doubtful I will purchase again due to the meal sizes and the expensive delivery of 19.95. But I got a good special. If your looking to drop kilos by eating low calories meals than give them a try. They are reasonably priced for the food you get. Well worth a try hopefully delivery costs will come down. No app to order off and website is clunky

Great – These are by far one of the best ready made meals I’ve ever had! Perfect for weight loss, weight gain or maintenance. My wife and I love the fact that we don’t have to think about dinner we can just get out of the freezer whatever we feel like zap it in the microwave and bam it’s ready! It’s definitely showed me that us humans over eat. There is… Read more

plenty of food and nutrition in each meal and no need to over eat. Thank you Core Power Foods for always looking after us! P.S they also have a great rewards system which definitely makes me want to order more! Cheers guys! Zach

Could Be Better – I was disappointed with my first order after my hospital discharge and not being able to cook for two weeks. Every meal was bland apart from Deep South Chilli. Meals looked unlike the advertised photos. Show details

Lucky I didn’t have high hopes – Don’t waste your money for bland and soggy meals, there are much better pre made meals out there. I don’t want to be wasteful, so I have another 11 meals eat and I’m not looking forward to it. Show details

Good food easy ordering – Food is great for people who are on the go and for ease of 6 minutes in the microwave and you're eating . Good selection of meals and serving size is good for people like me who have trouble cooking for one highly recommend giving them a go...trev Show details

Amazing Food Fantasic Flavours – I want to say Thank you for these amazing foods. The flavours and tastes are truly sensational. I love it but I would love to be able to order weekly... Honestly I have referred all my family onto these meals because I believe in them so much. Thank you

Deep south chilli is incredible! – Not one to usually post but the deep south chilli was amazing. Have not tried the others but can highly recommend this flavour. They should bottle the sauce! Show details
