When it’s hot outside, the last thing you feel like doing is having the oven on to heat the house up even more. Even standing in the kitchen with the stove on can seem like too much effort.
But before you reach for the phone to order in, we have 5 ideas for healthy eating meals for the family that don’t involve the oven.
Not only are they great for when you are trying to lose pregnancy weight, they’ve also got the tick of approval from little people too.
If you somehow manage to be on your own for dinner, you can also just grab a Healthy Mummy Smoothie – they’re a complete meal in themselves and packed with nutrition.
Rice paper rolls
Fill these with anything you’ve got to hand – avocado, grated carrot, spring onions, mint, bean sprouts, leftover roast chicken, strips of tofu. Anything goes – just don’t overstuff them or they will fall apart when you try to roll them up.
Wraps
Again just use what you have on hand and make it super tasty by adding sauce such as pesto, mayo or relish. We love the classic roast beef, tomato, avocado and baby spinach.

Tasting plate
Who says dinner can’t be like a little tapas-style picnic? Make a plate of things that the family can nibble on – think corn on the cob, boiled egg, hummus, feta, avocado, rice crackers, and carrot sticks.
Bruschetta
It might be the classic vegetarian version using tomato, onion, garlic and basil; or a combination of this with some cold meat such as thinly sliced turkey. Why not lay out a few options and let everyone make their own?
Tacos
You can use hard or soft tacos and fill them up with salad and protein – think a store bought roast chicken with coleslaw; tuna mayonnaise, grated carrot and baby spinach; or some defrosted leftover Bolognese from the freezer with some chopped tomato and cheese.

Mel Briggs lost 26kgs* with the 28 Day Challenge
Mel says: “The 28 Day Challenge is great because you have so many other ladies doing the challenge at the same time as you.
It is good being a shorter length, compared to many challenges which are 12 weeks long, as it is easier to stay focused.
I loved that there were so many different recipes and so I now have an even bigger collection of healthy recipes from Lose Baby Weight to help me continue with my weight loss. It is also great being on a budget as you can double up and mix and match recipes and because there is so much choice you never get bored.”
