FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A.  No, our recipes and meal plans are for members with active subscriptions. We’ve priced our service so that it fits everyone’s budget and are proud to nourish our community. Once a subscription is cancelled, the remainder of your subscription will be refunded pro-rata. Simply saving the notification email does not save your recipes, they must be accessed from within the site.
A.  Of course! We understand your requirements for a service such as ours can change over time. Cancel whenever; you’ll be refunded pro-rata (in proportion with) whatever time is remaining on your subscription (monthly/quarterly/annually). Feel free to join back up at any time, we’d love to have you.
A.  Usually 2 of the 4 recipes in each week's meal plan are vegetarian or easily vegan. Most of our current recipes are easily adaptable to suit vegetarians & vegans (with suggestions on how to do so in the Recipe Review). With Easy Healthy Eats, you can also create your own meal plan + shopping list using any recipe ever published! With most of our recipes being easily adaptable to specific dietary needs, you'll have access to hundreds of recipes from our archive and never be without fresh, healthy kitchen inspiration!
A.  Most certainly. In fact, our meal plans are a great solution to keep blood sugar levels stable due to their ratios of protein, fat + carbs. For those on a strictly low carb or keto diet, nearly every recipe has a low carb option from within the Recipe Review.
A.  Not entirely. We believe healthy living evolves around real, whole foods (as does the paleo diet). Some of our meals include rice, potatoes, beans/legumes and high quality dairy, which those eating a paleo diet would generally avoid. However, all of our meals are easily adapted to suit paleo requirements as there are low carb suggestions accompanying most recipes to accommodate the needs of diabetics.
A.  All of our recipes are gluten free. We encourage a well-rounded diet with an abundance of veggies -- eat the rainbow! - but don't recommend eliminating entire food groups if it's not necessary. We chose to make EHE a gluten free meal planning service to help you get a larger variety of nutrients via alternative food choices, as many people default to sandwiches, cereals, and grains (like pasta + couscous) as their staples. Many people don't even know they have a gluten-sensitivity until they give it up and start feeling so much better. We tolerate gluten in moderation, and do love an organic sourdough, pizza + burger... life is for living and we are all about enjoying it! Strict diets don't allow for this and can result in an unhealthy relationship with food. But to help you live your healthiest self -- and to cater to those with sensitivities -- our meal plans are indeed gluten free.
A.  Meal plans are posted every Friday at 12pm AWST (GMT+8 Perth zone). We send you an email once published reminding you to log in and view the week's recipes... or create your own meal plan at any time using any recipe from our archives. You can also favourite recipes for quick reference.
A.  Not necessarily. All our meals can be made with the bare essentials, but it's in your best interest to invest in a blender no less than 750 watts (for beautiful smoothies) and a basic food processor (we use a Sunbeam model from the 70s… works a treat!). A sharp knife wouldn’t go astray (really affordable ones at Asian grocers) and we use our kitchen shears + citrus press daily (not necessary, but very handy). Many kitchen appliances can be purchased second hand so no need to break the bank. Set yourself up for kitchen success with minimal stress! We provide our subscribers with a handy EHE Kitchen Essential Guide to easily cover your bases.
A.  If weight loss is your focus, EHE meal plans will assist. All our recipes contain nutrients that your body use readily for important cellular processes. Quality real-food ingredients work synergistically with your body to boost metabolic processes, support the stress response and promote energy production. Your body needs healthy fats, protein and yes, carbs to promote weight loss and maintenance. Learning to cook the EHE way means you’ll likely use the ingredients in other meals and easily transition into a healthier, lighter, more vibrant you!
A.  Absolutely not. If you have enough time in the evenings there’s no need to prep anything ahead of time, but most people these days are time-poor. Any steps that make cooking easier are generally a bonus; many EHE members agree that setting aside some time on the weekend ensures successful mid-week meals. The prep-steps are included on each individual recipe page if you prefer doing it all at once. This is a game changer for long-term success!
A.  Our meal plans are totally flexible to suit couples, families and even groups thanks to our customisable shopping list. The beauty of this feature is that you can vary your recipe quantities from week to week to accommodate the number of people you’ll be serving. Guess what? You can even host dinner parties using EHE recipes! Time management tip: if you are only cooking for 1 or 2, we still recommend preparing 4 serves so you have leftovers readily available, can freeze extra portions and minimise waste. This method also saves you money in the long run and reduces your consumption of takeaways.
A.  You may be surprised that your child needs to be exposed to certain foods multiple times (usually around 5) before developing a taste for it. We feel it’s very important to expose kids to a variety of foods, tastes & textures to set them up for a healthy future. Get them involved in the kitchen! Kids love playing an active role and are more likely to try new things (again and again) if you include them in the meal creation process. It also provides quality time and teaches cooking fundamentals, both very important in our opinion! Many subscribers report their kids loving our meals.
A.  A major part of adopting a healthy lifestyle is changing our perspective of food. As a naturopath, I strongly encourage clients to focus on real/whole foods, ditching refined/processed and ‘convenience’ foods and embracing mindful eating. This does not include counting calories, protein, carbs or fat. Calories are not created equal; there are now studies proving this. All of EHE’s meals are naturopathically approved, meaning they’re balanced, nutrient-rich and cover all the bases (with plenty of therapeutics + antioxidants to spare!). So grab an apron, get cooking, and enjoy every bite with us!
A.  We put great effort into using easy-to-find ingredients no matter where you live. Most items can be found at standard grocery stores (we live in a small town), however we encourage you to become familiar with your local health food shop and farmers’ market. Here you can source higher quality ingredients, find any missing items from EHE’s Pantry Staples Guide and most importantly, support local business!
A.  No worries. With our customisable shopping list you can choose the number of meals you want to create each week. We realise schedules change and thus designed our meal plans to be flexible with your needs.
A.  We understand that you live busy a life with a variety of schedule changes. Our aim is to get you in the kitchen 4 nights a week (hopefully making enough for leftovers) and provide the tools you need to live deliciously. The other 3 nights are flexible– save time + money with leftovers, enjoy a nice meal out or get together with friends!
A.  Most people’s palates only dislike something if they haven’t been exposed to it enough (children too). Generally speaking, consuming any food ~5 times is all it takes for you to start enjoying it. One of our goals is showing you the versatility of foods you may have previously avoided and learning the simplicity of including them in delicious meals. If you aren’t open to trying new things, simply skip that meal when customising your shopping list that week. But prepare to be amazed with your evolving taste-buds!
