Zomato wants Indians to eat more protein, offers free protein meal as high-five challenge
Zomato has launched a new Healthy High-Five Challenge to encourage Indians to eat more protein-rich, balanced meals. The challenge is now live and offers users a free healthy dish after every four eligible orders.
Are you following a healthy diet? If not, Zomato wants you to get started, and is willing to reward you with a free meal. The food delivery platform has launched a new initiative called Healthy High-Five Challenge, which aims to encourage Indians to eat more protein-rich and nutritionally balanced meals. Users who persist and complete the challenge can earn free recipes.
The idea behind Zomato’s new challenge is to promote healthy eating habits and help users meet their daily protein intake through everyday food. The offer is now live on the Zomato app under Healthy Mode and will run till February 28, 2026. It is currently available in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, and Chennai, the same cities where Healthy Mode is supported.
What is Zomato Healthy High-Five Challenge?
According to Zomato, the Healthy High-Five Challenge aims to encourage users to make better food choices, without putting pressure on everyday ordering decisions.
How to Participate in the Healthy High-Five Challenge
To participate in Zomato’s ongoing Healthy High-Five Challenge, users need to switch to Healthy Mode within the app and order dishes that meet two criteria:
– The dish should have a ‘high’ healthy score.
– It should contain at least 20 grams of protein per order.
With every qualifying order, users will earn a high-five. Once a user collects four high-fives, Zomato will give the fifth healthy meal for free.
When redeeming the free food, Zomato will allow users to choose from a curated menu of dishes that also have a ‘high’ healthy score and contain at least 20 grams of protein.
Note that the Healthy High-Five Challenge is only live until February 28th.
What is Zomato’s healthy mode?
Zomato’s Healthy Mode helps users easily identify healthy food options and the restaurants serving them through a dedicated section on the app. Recipes listed under this mode come with clear nutritional details, including ingredient information and a healthy score that tells you how balanced the food is.
According to Zomato, the Healthy Score uses AI-powered tools to evaluate factors such as protein content, fiber and micronutrients, ingredient quality and carbohydrate levels. Dishes marked ‘High’ are considered to be the most nutritionally balanced option on the platform.
