Healthy Eating, Dash Living
It’s easy to see why meal delivery plans continue to be popular. They are time-saving, nutritious and takes you one giant leap to your fitness goals. That’s why YOUNI and Dash Living recently joined forces – to help our tenants eat better and save time by delivering essential meals to your door. The leader in meal planning and the leader in serviced living – coming together to reimagine the way we live.
Founded by Joel Kam 2 years ago, Youni’s mission is simple; to nurture and inspire healthier communities and make a meaningful impact building on a better health platform for tomorrow. Joel talked us through meal planning and the importance of community building.
What is YOUNI?
J: We are a health cafe where we promote healthy food for the greater mass.
What does YOUNI mean?
J: YOUNI is a play on the words ‘YOU’ and ‘I’ with the hidden intention to support your health journey. Our job is to provide all the food and nutrition to help you get to your fitness goal.
What do you hope to achieve with Youni?
J: We know healthy eating can be expensive, so that’s why our goal is to offer healthy food that doesn’t cost too much without compromising on the flavor.
How do we connect as companies?
J: Dash Living focuses on building a community and this marries up to what we are trying to achieve. Our communities support our customers, so they have the opportunity to inspire and support people around them. That’s important when it comes to your health journey. It’s important to be inspired by others around you – that’s how we’ve built a community.

Where would you pick to eat a YOUNI meal in Dash Coliving?
J: Not the kitchen because I’d end up eating more [laughs] so I’d pick the rooftop. When you’re eating, it’s not just about the food filling the stomach. It’s about connecting with yourself. Food is medicine for the soul, so have it during a moment when you can pause and have time for yourself at the rooftop.
YOUNI celebrates community, Dash also celebrates community living – why do you think it’s important for people to connect?
J: We need to connect to thrive. You need people to guide and support you and knowing your journey is also shared by others as well. Knowing people around you going achieving the same goal is therapeutic as well as supportive. But it’s more than a social connection, create a connection with the food that you eat as well. Appreciate good food and understand what your body needs. Being healthy is not about being healthy on the outside, but being beautiful on the inside. And that comes with what you are eating.
Can you tell us more about how you’ve prepared your meals at Youni?
J: We have teamed up with our nutritionists and chefs who design the menu to ensure our meals meet the macro requirement. We offer a variety of dishes and rotate them regularly so that you’re not eating the same meal more than twice a week. On top of that, we cater to different diets and preferences.
Any tips for our readers who want to start meal planning but have no clue?
J:
- Know what your fitness goals are and find out how many calories and macros (grams of proteins, carbs and fat) you need. Based on that – you should know how much food you should be eating. When you know, make it part of your lifestyle.
- Create a routine and find out how much time you have to cook. It’s the healthiest way, and you know what’s going into your food.
