This mum and her family enjoyed a mega Christmas meal prep thanks to The Healthy Mummy team

We all know the feeling on Christmas Day, rather than enjoying a relaxing day of catching up with family and friends, you find yourself in the kitchen, peeling potatoes, basting your turkey and cutting up your fruit.

By the time you sit down, you are so exhausted, you barely have the energy to enjoy the meal you have so diligently prepared.

This is where meal prepping comes into play. We are strong advocates of meal prep here at The Healthy Mummy, and if you are a 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge member, you’ll understand why.

As part of our recent The Healthy Mummy Gives the Gift of Christmas competition The Healthy Mummy team, including Meal Prep Queen Kaitie Purssell, gave one family not only a festive house with presents, a tree and a visit from Santa but also meal prepped a mega Christmas feast plus extra meals, tips and staples.

Receiving the ‘Gift of Christmas’

Our ‘Gift of Christmas’ winner, Nicole Harris from Newcastle, NSW was given a full Christmas makeover of her house, plus presents for her kids and a visit from Santa.

Nicole has had a tough few years, but when our Healthy Mummy Team including Meal Prep Queen, Kaitie Purssell spent the day in the kitchen cooking and meal prepping a fabulous Christmas dinner of 60 main meals and two breakfast options plus stacking Nicole’s pantry cupboards, she knew that her and her family were in for a huge treat!

Kaitie also shared with Nicole some meal prep tips and tricks so that she could recreate these amazing dishes herself.

Nicole was forever grateful and a huge weight was lifted off her shoulders. She says, “I cannot put into words what this all means to me. It’s completely overwhelming to see what The Healthy Mummy team has pulled off today.”

“Thank you for your unbelievable generosity. I cannot explain what today meant to me and my kids. I will never forget this experience so Thank You Rhian and The Healthy Mummy Team!”
