Adding a sprinkle of joy and body celebration into nutrition.

12/03/2026

Every Wednesday I have the JOY of running cooking lessons with four students at Preshil!! This week we made smoothie bowls, granola and overnight oats!

The theme of the week was ‘breakfast’ and I really wanted to show them how easy it can be to prepare over the weekend so there is one less thing to think about in the morning!

I intentionally packed the recipes with fibre to give them long lasting energy. These are ingredients I’ve been gently integrating into the program from week one, so I am really starting to see them be more familiar with foods such as chia seeds, almonds, and oats.

It’s been so special watching their confidence grow and I am already looking forward to returning next week!

If you like this peak behind the scenes do let me know because I would love to share more of what I do with you! Also… If you want to run something in your school, get in touch because I have some spots left in term 3!

I would love to say that I have the time, energy and motivation to create a new and exciting lunch and dinner everyday... but that’s not my reality 🙈

My Sunday afternoons are sacred for getting ahead for the week to ensure that we have delicious meals that come together nice and quick.

Here is what I’ve been prepping lately to give you some inspiration.

A reminder that you don’t need to change your body or wear your bike shorts up to be worthy of love, acceptance, belonging or your food ✨

Recently when I’ve purchased things online, I’ve got the wrong size. In some brands I’m one size, in other brands I’m another. I was getting quite frustrated with the process, so I told my family that all I wanted for my 31st birthday was to go shopping for clothes for my trip… and this is how it went ☝️

It’s a new month and with that comes a new opportunity to model a healthy relationship with food to your teen.

Your teen learns so much by observing you and your actions. When we are hypercritical about our bodies and food choices, we normalise that behaviour.

A healthy relationship with food isn’t something that is developed overnight, it can take months or even years. it is about small, sustainable steps. Here are five you can take this year:

1. Remove the labels ‘good’ ‘bad’ ‘healthy’ and ‘unhealthy’ from food

2. Invite your young person into the kitchen with you and show them how to prepare the food they love.

3. Speak openly about the foods you enjoy and don’t enjoy – it is okay if your teen doesn’t enjoy all foods.

4. Remove conditions around food – i.e. you can have that after you have had your vegetables.

5. Don’t link food choices to body type, it’s damaging to a person’s body image and is unbelievably oversimplifying what it means to be ‘healthy’.

There is no pressure to implement all of these things right now. Choose one to start implementing and save this post for when you’re ready to implement the next one.

Welcome to ‘after school snack chat’ a space for me to share my learnings and interactions with students I meet when I present on body image and nutrition

Today’s session with the year 8s at Preshil Secondary was all about our relationship with food. As part of this conversation, we spoke about where we learn about food. For many, it came from people in the home.

Many of their parents were raised in the generation where the shape of your body defined you as ‘healthy’ or ‘unhealthy’. This gave tabloids ‘permission’ to police the bodies of celebrities and plaster their unkind comments in magazines under the guise of ‘concern’

Growing up in an era of this kind of commentary, has informed the way they speak to their own young person about food and their body. We came at this conversation from a place of compassion, because at the end of the day our parents and carers did the best they could with the knowledge they have.

While we would all love to think that body commentary lives in the archives of problematic tabloids, the reality is that this kind of commentary continues to be rife online… and our teens are noticing it.

Here are three things you can do to encourage our young people to speak kindly about their own body and the bodies of others:
1. Speak kindly about our own bodies in front of our young people
2. Please don’t judge others for the shape of their body or any other facet of their appearance
3. Think before you comment. Anything hurtful will be heard by your young person. Even well-intentioned comments have the potential to cause harm, so if you don’t know don’t comment.

Follow along for more after school snack chats and please be sure to share your favourite characters that perhaps don’t prescribe to the norm in the comments below so we can all start to diversify the content we’re consuming
