Feed a family of 4 dinners for 1 month for 100 pounds and under 88p a serve
Hi – My name is Rhian and as well as being a busy mum of 2 little young boys – I am also the founder of The Healthy Mummy which I am super proud to say is transforming the lives of millions of mums all over the world – and I am so excited that we have now launched in the UK (you can join our PRIVATE UK support group here too)!
The Healthy Mummy is a health & weight loss program created for busy mums and we started back in 2010 when I was pregnant and wanted to created a supportive and holistic program for mums (you can read my story here) and now millions of mums use our famous 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge every day and mums have lost over 500,000 stone with us!
And here is one of the 100,000’s of mums – Sascha Farley – who have lost weight using Healthy Mummy plans and meal prepping like this (there are more amazing examples at the bottom of the blog to inspire you too!
Sascha says, “Over 5 stone gone from using The Healthy Mummy 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges and maintaining it couldn’t be more enjoyable”
My EPIC meal prep day!
One of the BIG things I like to do and show mums is that healthy eating doesn’t need to be expensive!
So today, I did a little bit of meal prep! Well quite a lot actually! I made a months worth of dinners for a family of 4 for under £106
All of the meals came from the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge app
Below I will show you the food I cooked plus I will share my meal prep tips and how you can get costs down either further!
How you can feed your family dinners for a month without spending over £106
The Healthy Mummy meals are designed with a holistic approach, with no food group being cut out, everything in moderation and the most importantly, delicious!
This took me around 8 hours to do but means I don’t have to cook again for a long time and because I am cooking in bulk I am saving so much money – so although it is hard work – it is 100% worth it!
The details!
- Excluding the snacks I spent £106 on food
- With the snacks I spent £146
- I made 120 dinners enough for a family of 4 for 30 nights
- I made 40 serves of snacks
- All food is healthy and yummy

My tips on how to save MORE money when meal prepping
- Get cooking on the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge – Save even more by making the three rice based meals with the same type of rice (instead of buying jasmine, brown and basmati)
- Save even more by bulking out your recipes with any vegetables that are on sale, as most of our recipes are quite flexible and forgiving
- Save even more by growing your own basil, parsley and coriander at home in the garden or in a window box instead of buying them by the bunch
- Save even more by switching up some of the proteins to either whatever meat is on sale when you shop, or substitute with tofu or chickpeas instead
- I purposely chose recipes with similar ingredients as this helps save money at the checkout (e.g. many have rice, or pasta)
- These are all kid friendly recipes too, there’s no need to cook two different meals for adults and kids
- On average the main meals here work out at under £0.88 per serve, so you can lose weight AND save money at the same time
- These meals freeze well, so cook double and enjoy the other portion later (saves on washing up too)
- If you like the sound of these recipes, you’re going to LOVE the abundant and customisable recipes The Healthy Mummy holds.
With more than 4,000 delicious (and healthy) recipes, 350 exercises & 24/7 support – the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge is designed as an app (and proven) to help busy mums like you lose weight!
