Fuel Your Run with the Power of Real Food
Our Top Tips for Fuelling Your Runs with Real Food
1
Choose Slow-Release Carbs
Brown rice, legumes, and sweet potato provide steady energy vs. sugar crashes.
2
Fuel Up 1–2 Hours Before Your Run
Give your body time to digest; go for light, carb-focused meals like polenta or noodles.
3
Recover with Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients
Think turmeric, ginger, coconut, and greens to reduce soreness and speed recovery.
4
Hydrate with Natural Electrolytes
Coconut water, leafy greens, and miso help restore mineral balance.
5
Eat Light, Eat Whole
Whole plant foods reduce bloating and improve gut function, so you feel strong, not sluggish.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long can my order stay outside?
Orders are packed with insulation and ice packs designed to keep meals chilled for up to 6 hours after delivery.
Is my postcode serviced by IKU?
Enter your postcode on our website to instantly check delivery availability. We deliver across NSW, VIC, QLD, ACT and selected additional regions.
Can I track my order?
Yes. Delivery updates and estimated arrival information will be shared with you so you know when your IKU order is on the way.
Do your meals contain allergens?
Some products contain allergens. Every meal product page includes allergen information and a full ingredient list. While we take care in preparation, our facility handles gluten, soy, sesame, nuts and other allergens, so we cannot guarantee products are free from traces of these ingredients. You can use the allergen filter on our website to filter out the allergen you’re avoiding.
Is IKU packaging actually eco-friendly?
Yes. Sustainability has been part of IKU's philosophy since the beginning. We use recyclable, reusable or compostable packaging wherever possible and continually work to reduce our environmental impact. We have pledged to be plastic free by the end of 2026.
How do I heat my IKU meals?
From the fridge, take your meal out of the cardboard sleeve and peel the film back slightly. Remove any inner pots from the tray then microwave on high for 2—3 minutes until piping hot. Stir through and reheat for longer if you need to, otherwise enjoy!
If you do not have a microwave, then a selection of our meals can be Air Fried. Simply remove the sleeve and the protective film seal and heat at 120 degrees for 20 minutes or until hot. Be careful when removing the container from the Air fryer as this will be hot.
What if I don't have a microwave?
Many meals can also be heated in an oven, air fryer or stovetop pan. Please transfer food to an oven-safe dish before heating, as meal trays are microwave-safe but not oven-safe.
