October 7, 2025

If you’ve been looking for a mix of meals that are wholesome, balanced, and full of flavour then this week’s meal prep menu has you covered. With a little something for every craving, these four recipes make it easy to stay organised, eat well, and enjoy every bite from breakfast through to dessert.

Start your mornings with Baked Apple & Coconut Oats; a warm, nourishing breakfast that’s naturally sweetened and filled with oats, protein, and thinly sliced apples. It’s the kind of breakfast that feels indulgent yet keeps you fueled for hours.

For lunch or dinner, Teriyaki Beef Bowls bring savoury comfort with glossy, flavour-packed mince served over rice and crisp veggies. They’re quick to make, family-friendly, and perfect for meal prepping ahead of a busy week.

Then there’s the Chicken Soba Noodle Jar Salad, a fresh and vibrant option layered with juicy chicken, edamame, and a creamy peanut-lime dressing. It’s the ideal balance of light and satisfying and a fun, portable way to enjoy a wholesome meal on the go.

And to finish things off on a sweet note, the Classic Choc Caramel Slice delivers that perfect touch of indulgence. With a buttery coconut base, rich golden caramel, and smooth chocolate topping, it’s a nostalgic treat that’s impossible to resist.

Together, these recipes create a deliciously balanced line-up that’s big on flavour and easy to prep. Whether you’re planning your work lunches, weeknight dinners, or just love having something sweet ready to go, this menu makes eating well feel effortless.
