Stir fries are a fast, easy way to provide a nutritious meal for the family that is suitable to include in your healthy eating plan when you’re trying to lose pregnancy weight.
Stir fries are a good way to include a wide variety of vegetables in your diet with everything from baby spinach to cauliflower, capsicum, green beans and baby corn all being suitable to throw in the wok.
Apart from vegetables, lean proteins like chicken breast, tofu or lean beef are all good to include in your stir fry, as well as metabolism boosting spices and ingredients like chilli flakes or fresh chilli.
