GOOD OPTIONS | Im always looking for fun ways to get my family eating well. It’s not always that easy - but these mango smoothie pops are the perfect treat that ticks all the boxes ✅

Seasonal mangoes (I like the Kensington variety here) blended with greek yoghurt, frozen banana, h**p seeds, organic rolled oats (to avoid the herbicides used heavily in large scale grain production) coconut water plus collagen hydrolysate is the perfect antidote to busy summer holidays for you & your crew 😎

Quality flavourless collagen is one of the only supplements that I take regularly - mainly because I don’t eat that much red meat anymore & now that I’m officially ‘over the hill’ 👵🏽 collagen is a great way to support skin, joint, muscle & gut health 💪🏽

I recently picked up this .au collagen and found it’s produced from Cowra cattle, right here in the Central West NSW. Provenance matters a lot me and I love supporting local farmers & businesses 🐄

This smoothie packs in roughly 42g protein, 9g fibre, and is rich in magnesium & potassium - key nutrients for hydration & muscle function. Drink it as a smoothie or freeze into pops for the kids (even small cups + paddle pop sticks work though I think my moulds were from Kmart) 🍡

This recipe is a tasty reminder that healthy, simple, family-friendly treats don’t have to compromise on flavour or nourishment ✨

Buon appetito 🍋

GOOD YEAR | Happy New Year ✨

Here’s to a 2026 filled to the brim with good food, good moves & good times 💫

I’m off on a little family holiday & taking a much-needed pause until 20th Jan - soaking up rest & all sorts of delicious inspiration for the year ahead that I can’t wait to share 🏖️

Until then - Buon app 🍋

GOOD CHEER | If you’re anything like me & currently melting into Christmas, here is the dessert inspo you’ve been looking for 🙌🏽

Enter Cherry Ripple Gelato - made with simple, seasonal, bountiful produce, folded through the very best vanilla gelato or ice cream you can afford 🍦

We’re very lucky to have here in Orange — their gelato is made with top-quality ingredients and tastes incredible…and they DELIVER! 🚚💨

You can decorate & garnish it with cacao nibs, crushed pistachios or halved cherries for extra festiveness (and the illusion that you’ve really made an effort)…or you can just scoop it into a bowl. Simples 🍒

Here, I’ve used 1.5L vanilla gelato, combined with a quick and easy cherry compote inspired by & via - I just halved the compote quantities & its pretty forgiving 💫

Cherry compote 🍒 • 250g cherries, halved, pips removed • 1/2 tbsp liquid glucose • 1/3-1/2 cup caster sugar • 1 tsp vanilla extract (or seeds of 1 vanilla pod) • Juice of ½ lemon

Add the sugar, glucose & vanilla to ½ cup water in a small saucepan and stir to dissolve. Add cherries and cook over low–medium heat until thickened & reduced. Allow to cool, then add lemon juice and refrigerate ❄️

In a large bowl, gently fold the cold compote through slightly softened gelato in batches. Don’t overmix - you don’t want it completely pink…or you do - the bauble’s in your court 😂😉

Transfer back to the container and freeze to reset (overnight is best). Scoop, serve, and enjoy with the people you love this summer 🍧♥️

Sending all of my GOOD wishes to you & yours for a safe and merry festive season 💝

Buon appetito 🍋

DAY ON A GOOD PLATE | For my last DOAGP for the year I’m with the delightful Sophie Corks 🎨

Sophie is a local Orange artist whose work reflects quintessential Australian culture - colourful, bright & full of life 🌈

The day she recorded DOAGP she was also a stallholder at the annual Molong Shopping Markets - a much-loved regional event where hundreds show up to support small business in the late afternoon summer sun ☀️

Soph admits this wasn’t her usual day of eating - but it’s very reflective of a busy workday trying to do allllll the things 🏃🏼💨

I love that you prioritise breakfast. While I don’t love store bought cereals, Sultana Bran isn’t the worst. Pairing it with natural Greek yoghurt is a great move for gut health & blood sugar balance - adding seasonal fruit like berries & switching to full cream milk would further support satiety & microbial diversity 🥛🫐

Eating regularly throughout the day is a big win for digestion & energy regulation. Cruskits with hummus & tomato are a smart snack - adding boiled egg, avocado or tuna would boost protein & healthy fats plus help keep blood sugars steady & a squeeze of lemon would help with flavour & nutrient absorption 🍋

How good is mum for insisting on a walk & lunch. Ginger beer is a treat & acknowledging this shows a positive, relaxed relationship with food 🙌🏽

Haribo gummy bears are an elite lolly choice but pairing sugar with protein, fats & fibre will help reduce blood sugar spikes on big days. A banana or peach with a handful of nuts & seeds would work really well here & just as easy to grab & go 🍑

Water intake is spot on - essential for hydration & gut motility. Your sausage sando at the markets is a classic & although not exactly packing in nutrients, it’s just right for Aussie festivals & celebrations 🌭

Overall, your day was balanced & real for a working mum. The main tweaks I’d suggest would be more seasonal fruit & veg as snacks plus incorporating more protein & healthy fats in each meal & snack to better support gut health & energy regulation 🥒🧀

I’m so glad the markets were a success & that you finished the day with a glass of red with your mum 🍷

Buon appetito 🍋

GOOD TIMES | Three years ago today I posted a little headshot announcing I was starting a nutrition consulting business called Good Plate 💫

With a bunch of new followers and faces here (👋🏼), it felt like time to re-introduce myself & what GP stands for. Good Plate is still all about helping clients reach their health goals and supporting my community to find joy in delicious, nutritious food & meaningful movement - but the way I deliver that mission has broadened and more than ever is centred around collaboration 🙌🏽

I’ve been a busy gal building GP into what it is today… and I’m also studying Naturopathy so I can offer a wider scope of practice, a Naturopathic toolkit & a deeper understanding of how the body can heal itself with the right guidance & support 🫐🚶🏼‍♀️≥💊

My favourite GP moments have always been collaborations - running workshops & co-hosting retreats, helping hospitality businesses improve their menus. I love working with people, sharing my love of food, nutrition, movement & balanced lifestyles that aren’t about perfection but about progress and fun 🪇

So here’s a little update told through some recent photos (with a couple of personal ones… including my 40th this year - you’ll spot it 😂).

I’ve also updated my website & services (see ). New offerings include my Good Work Workplace Wellness program (taking bookings for 2026), menu consultation for hospitality businesses, customised meal & exercise support programs & more. AND I finally have a blog with some of my fave Good Plates - I hope you love the recipes as much as I love sharing them, I promise to keep adding more each week ✨

It’s been an incredible 3 years. Not always sunshine & rainbows - but as they say, if it feels easy, you’re probably not doing it right. Thank you to my clients who’ve entrusted me in supporting them, and thank you also everyone who has supported me unconditionally…you know who you are 🥹🫶🏽

If you’d like to collaborate in any capacity, reach out. Food gets me out of bed every day — but it’s the people I get to share it with that truly excite me 👯‍♀️

Oh - and happy birthday to Good Plate 🧁🥰

Buon appetito 🍋

GOOD VIBES | Last week I was very lucky to hang out with and watch her work her magic with her mummas in the kitchen cooking the most incredible, authentic Lebanese food 🇱🇧

I came away feeling so inspired and was reminded of how much I adore Middle Eastern flavours 🙌🏽

I’m always wanting to widen the variety of foods my family eat - although they’re already pretty good, a bit more exposure to a bigger range of flavours and spices like cumin, turmeric, allspice & coriander is always a good idea 🫚

So I got creative and decided to change up the regular taco Night and make it Lebanese style. It’s a pretty straight forward concept & I am sure there is a proper Lebanese name for this - help me out here !? I don’t trust ChatGPT enough for this job 😂

Feel free to mix it up as much as you want but here are the major components:

‘Kofta’ mix using a combo of beef & lamb mince, raw onion, crushed garlic & KITCHEN HACK ALERT toss in a packet of Butter Chicken mix which has a very Middle Eastern flavour profile. Feel free to add allspice and sumac if you have them in the pantry too. Cook it off until brown & crumbly 🤎
Pickles like turnip & cucumber, onion, chilli 🌶️
Chopped lettuce, cheese like freshly grated halloumi & feta, chopped tomatoes, radish, spring onion, cucumber, loads of fresh herbs like parsley & mint (or just do a tabouleh to have on and for t), pine nuts, tahini-yoghurt sauce all piled into lightly toasted Lebanese breads! If you want to go vego just go use felafel instead of the mince. Bangin’ flavours 💥

It’s another ‘choose your own adventure’ vibe that the family loves - and I am here for it 🤲🏼 
Comment recipe and i’ll pop it through to your DMs 💌

GOOD TREATS | What a week its been - feeling super inspired after spending time with & but now its back to reality & need to make some healthy snacks to have on hand for hungry little (and not so little) hands 🤲🏻

I found this one on Fatimah’s instagram page & it’s a winner. Super nutrient dense but also very much a treat. It’s your very own homemade Lebanese Loco Love - and I love love love it 🤎🤎🤎

Did you know pistachios are JAMMED with fibre, protein, good fats Vitamin B6, potassium, magnesium - need I go on? They are just the prettiest little nut (just like you!) and all of these nutrients are the best combination for hormonal health, brain cognition, hunger regulation and of course, gut health 💩

The dark chocolate is also a flavonoid factory (I’ve used 💯 pure dark chocolate leaves here from ) so thats a win for both flavour and functionality. If you want something slightly less intense - use chocolate chips with a slightly lower cacoa % as these almost knocked my socks off 🧦🤯

I’ve popped Fatimah’s beautiful recipe up on my blog and if you want the link sent direct to your DMs, pop a 🤎 into the comments.

Buon appetito 🍋

GOOD PLANS | When we’re even a little bit planned and organised, everything feels easier. It sets us up to make consistently good choices around food without relying on “willpower” or feeling like we have to be perfect 🙄 (and who wants to be perfect all the time anyway?!)

Just as importantly, planning gives us the freedom to really enjoy those ‘sometimes’ foods without the guilt — because we know the bigger picture is balanced & nourishing ⚖️

Planning doesn’t need to be a full meal plan that you stick to religiously and without compromise. It can be a quick scribble in your diary, a note in your phone, a post-it note stuck to the fridge 📝

Whatever it looks like for you - this little bit of forethought brings more variety, more enjoyment, and takes away the mental load of having to decide what to cook when you’re tired, busy or stressed. And honestly, reducing that load is just as important for your wellbeing as the food itself ✨

If you’re not sure where to start, I’m here — whether you need a structured meal plan or gentle accountability coaching. I’ll meet you exactly where you’re at and help you build habits that feel good, delicious and sustainable 💫

If this sounds like the support you need right now, send me a message and let’s chat. 🤎
