The NEW Kickstarter Meal Plan is here! And guess who’s back to test it?

We’re so excited to introduce our brand-new Kickstarter Program and we’ve brought back one of our original Meal Prep Queens to put it to the test!

Kaitie, who lost an incredible 21 kilos way back in 2015 using The Healthy Mummy’s 28-Day Challenges, Healthy Mummy Smoothies, and mastering the art of meal prep, is back again! This time, almost 10 years later, she’s diving into week 1 of our brand-new Kickstarter program to see how it holds up for busy mums like her.

Busy Mum Life – Can You Relate?

Kaitie, a mum of two, knows all too well the chaos that comes with juggling work, kids’ activities, housework, and everything else that’s thrown our way.

She shares, “As a busy mum of two, I feel like I’m always rushing – whether it’s work, kids’ sports, keeping up with the housework, or dealing with the usual mental load: What’s everyone eating? What do I need from the shops? Did I sign that permission slip? Am I forgetting something important? I know most mums can relate – we just keep getting busier!”

That’s where our Kickstarter plan comes in. We designed this program to help you lay down a solid foundation for lasting results, even with a packed schedule. It’s a mix of fat-burning workouts and strength training, paired with easy-to-follow meal plans and  Healthy Mummy Smoothies to keep you fuelled and energised.

What Makes Our Kickstarter Plan So Effective?

We understand that exercise is only part of the equation – nutrition is key too. The Kickstarter plan is packed with delicious, family-friendly recipes that are simple to prepare, even on the busiest days. Whether you’re looking to tone up, shed some extra kilos, or just feel stronger, you can do it all in just 28 days without feeling overwhelmed.

Kaitie’s Meal Prep Experience – Back in Action!

After years of shifting her priorities Kaitie’s excited to give the Kickstarter plan a go. “This time, it’s different,” she says. “It’s not a race or competition. It’s not about sprinting to the finish line. It’s about feeling better, having my clothes fit better, and having more energy.”

Kaitie kicked off by customising her week 1 meal plan to suit her coeliac family’s gluten-free needs. Using the app’s shopping list feature, she ticked off what she already had and ordered the rest through Woolworths for next-day delivery.

On Sunday, Kaitie got into full meal prep mode. Starting by writing a list with a clear plan to make it feel less overwhelming, first slices, then mains, followed by extras. She managed to get through her list with the help of her kids (and a few breaks in between).

“It took about 4-5 hours in total, which included some ‘help’ from the kids, cleaning up, doing the dishes and stopping for a lunch break,” she shares. “It would usually take less time, but I’m a little out of practice!”

The Benefits of Meal Prep

While Kaitie admitted she was worried she’d “wasted” a sunny Sunday in the kitchen, the benefits kicked in almost immediately.

“Honestly, the days since have felt so light,” she says. “I haven’t had to worry about what’s for dinner or snacks, and my mental load has eased so much. I’m grateful I took the time to do this – I haven’t done this much prep in a long time. Normally, I just bulk cook dinners and repeat them for a few nights. But now, with everything ready, I feel so much more in control.”

Kaitie’s prep for the week resulted in:

  • 88 serves of snacks
  • 24 complete meals
  • 16 half-prepared meals
  • Prepped fruit for her smoothies

She spent around $270 on groceries for the week but noted that gluten-free items, like bread for $8.00 per loaf, did significantly increase the cost. However, she believes most families of four could keep their grocery bill under $250 with some customisation and smart swaps for expensive ingredients like salmon or prawns.

Kaitie’s tips

Make the plans work for you!

Customise where needed. Don’t like a recipe? Swap it for something with around the same amount of calories.

Short on time? Repeat meals and snacks to reduce your time in the kitchen.

Have dietary requirements? Customise the recipes to suit you and your family.

Meal prep the way that suits you, there is no rules!

Busy during the week and have limited time in the evenings? Meal prep Sunday may be a game changer for you.
Start with cooking double batches of 2 meals, making 2 snacks and chopping up your fruit or veggie sticks.

Work weekends or often out socialising? Small nightly meal prep may be your new bestie.
Cooking dinner on the stovetop, double it! Have it ready tomorrow night or freeze it for later. While your at it why not pop a banana bread in the oven or whip up a batch of simple panna cotta?

Don’t like reheated meals? Prepare all your snacks and make dinner fresh each night.
You don’t need to be a Meal Prep Queen to have success! Even the tiniest amount of prep helps.
