Dietitian’s Iron-Rich Meal Plan

After the birth of my son 6 weeks ago, I became quite iron deficient. I lost a ton of blood during birth and after birth. I can speak more about my full birth story in more detail another time but it didn’t go as I originally planned. Recovery has been a journey and I’ve been focusing on my iron status during my recovery. I’ve been following the iron-rich meal plan in this post, along with the guidelines on how to boost iron absorption.

Summer Entertaining Minimal Cook Meal Prep

Who wants to cook in the summer heat? I sure don’t. That’s why I created these minimal cook summer dishes that can be made for summer entertaining or simply for your weekly meal prep. Each dish requires minimal cooking so you can beat the heat. As usual, all of these are packed with protein (20-30 g/serving) and fibre (11-17 g/serving), along with many vitamins and minerals – so you can feel full and fuelled for a number of hours.

Impress the guests at your next gathering with these creative dishes! Which one are you trying?

Which one are you trying first?
