Cut your time in the kitchen with our 15 Minute Meals
Here at MWU, we understand that one of the biggest barriers to nutrition is time. Finding delicious, easy recipes that don’t require copious ingredients and time to prepare can sometimes be the hardest part.
This month our team of Dietitian’s are releasing 20+ brand new 15-Minute Meals to the MWU App and we have even included 5 of our favourites below. These meals have been designed to decrease your time in the kitchen and ingredients on your weekly shopping list.
Please note that these recipes and nutritional information are only for a single-serve portion. If you're cooking for more than one or want to meal prep, simply multiply the quantity of ingredients by the number of serves you'd like to make.
