Lily Simpson, Founder & CEO of The Detox Kitchen is an expert when it comes to creating high quality, healthy meals which are 80% plant based and using 100% wholefoods. Every dish is wheat free, dairy free, refined sugar free and chemical free. Described by The Telegraph as ‘the best diet delivery service for food lovers’ their company delivers a whopping 1 million meals each year in the form of fridge fills (their nationwide delivery service) or meal plans (within Greater London) and have had a 300% increase on uptake since lockdown. She has two Central London deli’s and her meals are stocked in Selfridges and Planet Organic. Clients include A Listers, and their most recent collaboration is with the BBC Masterchef Winner, Founder of Wahaca, Thomasina Miers, who incidentally inspired me to apply to compete on the show as a contestant.  And alongside building the business our guest has also written two cookbooks – ‘Detox Kitchen’ as co-author with nutritionist Rob Hobson and sole-author of Detox Kitchen Vegetables.

I could have chatted with Lily for hours and hours. Lily is upfront, honest and so insightful. We chat about how and why she got started, the challenges of being a mum of 3 littles alongside growing the business, the upside of the pandemic, what has tested her and what she learnt, the real driver behind it all (you need to listen to the end to find out ... just saying ;)), how she fits in staying fit and healthy and loads more.

I guarantee you will harvest rich insights from this episode.
