Meal prep monday - this might be one of my favourites so far. It got so many ‘ooh that smells good’ in the staffroom last week, which in our books is high praise!

Serves 4-6
You’ll need:
2 chicken breasts
800g tinned tomatoes
2tb honey
2 tsp garlic
2 tsp onion
2 tsp chipotle powder
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 jar chipotle in adobo

Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker on high for 4 hours, or low for 6. I added mine to some roast potatoes with cheese, a corn tomato & onion salsa, and topped with fresh avocado after heating. This is the perfect versatile protein to go in any mexican dish, on sandwiches or salads. Let us know if you try it!

Signs of disordered eating can be all too common - disguised as 'working harder', or restricting food intake to be 'healthier'. Globally, the prevalence of eating disorders has doubled in the past decade, and it's no coincidence that our exposure to social media has exponentially increased in this time.

If you're worried about a young person in your life, or you identify some of these concerns around weight, shape, size or food intake - our dietitians can provide support to build a peaceful relationship with food.

No referral needed, though Medicare rebate is available to those with an EDP care plan. Follow the link in bio to book an appointment, or call Ward Nutrition on 0253431919.

Does the thought of all the chocolate around at Easter make you feel like you need to restrict, “earn” it, or make up for it later?

You’re definitely not the only one. For a lot of people, Easter can bring up a bit of stress around food, even though it’s meant to be something that’s enjoyable.

Over time, being able to have chocolate in the house, enjoy it when you feel like it, and not have it take up so much headspace is a good indicator that your relationship with food is sitting in a positive space.

But if it’s feeling harder than that - guilt, rules, or that “I’ve lost control” feeling, it’s not something you just need to be better at managing, it's a sign you might need some support with letting go of food rules, and rigidity around eating.

Our dietitians can help you find a way of eating that feels a lot more relaxed, balanced, and sustainable. No referral required - book an appointment at the link in bio, or by calling Ward Nutrition on 53431919.

Meal Prep Monday

This one’s a bit of a boring one - good old chicken, rice & veg. No recipe needed - cook your marinated chicken, 1 cup of rice and your fav veg & assemble between four containers. I topped mine with a bit of the Nandos Perinaise, sesame seeds & spring onion.

This is one of my go-to’s for meal prep lunches - no-brainer, nutritious & tastes good!

Ever wondered what a dietitian eats? The answer is lots!

You'll often find us with a coffee & snack in hand between meals, so we've compiled some of our favorites, and also sharing our secret weapon - Emergency Lunches 😂 Life gets in the way on weekends sometimes - forgetting to shop or meal prep is not uncommon, so having some high protein, high fibre options ready to go means there is no skipping lunch around here 🙅

Got any favorite snacks you can recommend us? Let us know in the comments

Meal prep Monday (on a Tuesday!!)

If your weeks feel a bit chaotic and food ends up being whatever’s easiest in the moment… this is your little nudge to make things easier for yourself.

This week: chicken pesto pasta salad 🥗
Serves 4 and actually keeps you full — grilled chicken, pasta, and a creamy pesto made with cottage cheese + Greek yogurt so it’s a bit more filling and balanced.

Then you’ve got all the good stuff mixed through — sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, red onion, olives + broccoli for flavour, crunch and some fibre to keep you going.

Ingredients
• 2 chicken breasts
• 150g pasta (dry)
• 95g pesto (about ½ jar)
• ½ cup cottage cheese
• ½ cup Greek yogurt
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1–2 cups spinach (I forgot to add this in 🤦‍♀️)
• ¼ red onion, finely sliced
• ¼ cup olives, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli, chopped

Method
1. Cook the pasta as per packet, then drain and let it cool slightly.
2. Season the chicken with your favourite herbs and spices, and grill until cooked through, then slice.
3. Lightly steam the broccoli (just until tender, not mushy).
4. In a bowl, mix the pesto, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt together.
5. Add everything into a large bowl — pasta, chicken, veggies — then pour over the sauce and mix it through.
6. Divide into 4 containers and you’re sorted for the next few days.

Let us know if you give it a go!

After a quick dinner idea, try this Moroccan masterpiece: Lamb backstrap with pearl cous cous and chickpea salad with tzatziki dip! Full of flavour, prebiotics, vitamins and minerals. I had never cooked backstrap before. But it took 4min each side in the pan! Amazing lean, full of iron meat dish!

This weeks meal prep Monday doesn’t look quite as pretty as usual!

For keeping nutrition consistent when things get busy during the week - meal prep is often the solution. But, what happens when busy happens over the weekend?

The ‘backup’ meal is a staple in my life for times like these! Frozen zucchini & spinach slice, leftover potatoes from dinner & frozen veg. Protein & fibre to keep me full, & plenty of carbs to keep my brain powered for the afternoon.

Strategies like this help nutrition feel flexible, and seamlessly fit into your life! Let us know your favourite ‘backup meal’ - you might inspire someone (or us!) to add something new to the freezer stash rotation.
