Meal kits, recipe ideas and savings on your usual staples
Deciding what’s for dinner, writing a shopping list and finding something everyone will eat can take as much effort as the cooking itself.
For Nutrition Week, we’re highlighting WHEREFIT partners available in New Zealand that can help with meal planning, food inspiration and everyday nutrition shopping.
Let someone else organise the ingredients
HelloFresh combines recipes and ingredients in meal kits delivered to your door. You choose the meals and do the cooking, with less shopping and planning beforehand.
Use it for evenings when you want a home-cooked dinner without starting from a blank shopping list. Choosing a recipe you haven’t tried before can also bring something different to the table.
Put some new meals into rotation
If you prefer to shop for yourself, equ offers personalised meal plans and a library of nutritionist-approved recipes.
It’s worth a look if your usual meals are getting repetitive or you’d like more structure for the week. Find a couple of recipes that appeal to you and build your next shop around them.
Find options for your usual smoothie
Tropeaka offers plant-based protein powders and other nutrition products. If protein powder is already part of your routine, explore flavours to use in your usual smoothie with fruit, oats and your preferred milk.
Save on products you already use
iHerb stocks supplements alongside grocery products, giving you another place to compare prices when restocking your usual items.
Keep purchases focused on what you need. Supplements shouldn’t replace a varied, balanced diet. If you’re unsure what’s suitable, speak with a doctor, dietitian or pharmacist.
Key takeaway
Choose one thing to make easier this week: organising ingredients, finding dinner ideas or restocking a product you already use.
Your wellbeing, your way
Make room for meals you enjoy with WHEREFIT’s healthy meals, supplements, and fitness and wellness apps. Follow the partner links to check your New Zealand perks and find an option that fits your next meal or weekly shop.
