A new healthy food brand has been launched by two North East business partners hoping to shake up the convenience meal market.

Relo is a pioneering range of quick, healthy and high protein microwaveable meals available in a selection of options such as Katsu Style Chicken Curry and Mexican Style Beef Chilli which can be prepared in minutes.

The range even includes a healthy take on an All Day Breakfast.

Relo has been created by health enthusiast Richard Knowles and his business partner, former Visualsoft COO David Duke, both from Durham, who both boast extensive experience and knowledge of the health, fitness and wellbeing industries.

Relo Managing Director Richard said: “The launch of Relo comes after many months of hard work for our dedicated team and to see it start to be rolled out is wonderful for the whole team involved.

“Myself and David came into this knowing we were the ideal customers when it came to these products. We knew what we wanted, we were passionate about helping people just like us reach their fitness and nutrition goals and that’s where Relo fits perfectly into the industry.

“We believe Relo appeals to anyone who places a high value on maintaining an active, healthy lifestyle and who appreciates fresh and tasty ingredients in meals which are healthy, nutritious and rich in protein and can be easily transported and prepared in minutes, without compromising flavour.”

Designed for people who have limited spare time to prepare and cook healthy meals, Relo’s tasty recipes and easy-to-open packaging has been designed to appeal to a wide range of customers, with protein-rich and preservative-free real food.

Packaged in easy-tear pouches, Relo’s meals can be heated up and ready to serve in minutes. The new collection also include Beef in American Style Steak Sauce, Thai Style Chicken Curry and Pasta Bolognese.

Meals contain up to 45g of protein and use fresh ingredients to support a healthy metabolism and leave you feeling full for longer.

Ready in three minutes in a microwave, dishes are designed for everyone regardless of age, lifestyle and fitness objectives and cater to a range of dietary preferences.

This is achieved with what Relo describes as 'innovative cooking methods' and its pioneering packaging technology which means the packs don’t need to be refrigerated and can be stored anywhere.
