6 recipes these mums used to shift belly fat
If you want to shift weight from your stomach, you would already probably know that healthy eating should be yourย focus. With that in mind, we wanted to give you some belly fat busting recipes that are delicious as well as being great to help drop weight from your midsection.
We spoke toย 28 Day Weight Loss Challengeย membersย Jessica May Magillย andย Annette Palmaย and got their insight into some of their favourite belly fat busting recipes using these go-to ingredients.
The types of foods you want to focus on are those that wonโt cause inflammation or bloating. Think baby leaf spinach, lettuce, nuts and seeds, parsley, coriander and basil, chicken breast, beetroot, eggs, coconut oil, brown rice, oats, olive oil and blueberries.
6 recipes to help fight tummy fat:
1. Beetroot Salad
Annette says,ย โI love this salad! Itโs super quick and easy to prepare. Itโs my go-to lunch for work days.โ
This recipe is available to members of theย 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge
2. Slow Cooked Asian Chicken
Want a recipe that is literally drop and go? This is it.
Annette says,ย โCanโt beat a dish that is full of flavour! And the best bit is I just need to throw all the ingredients into the slow cooker in the morning and itโs ready to go by dinner time. This is a family favourite.โ
3. Coconut Yogurt and Berries
If you havenโt tried coconut yogurt before, give it a go. Itโs creamy, dairy free and very low in sugar despite being quite sweet. Add some fruit and a little homemadeย granolaย for a healthy snack or breakfast.
Annette says,ย โI always have these ingredients in my fridge and freezer ready to go.
Simple, quick snacks like these are perfect for weeks when I havenโt had a chance to meal prep any healthy snacks. My daughter loves coconut yogurt with berries as well and will often take it as a snack for school.โ
Annetteโs story
Prior to giving birth to baby number three, Annette lost an incredible 3.2st. on her Healthy Mummy journey.
She says,ย โI loved theย 28 Day Weight Loss Challengeย and how everything was set out for me to succeed.
โOver the next 18 months, I lost 3.2st, ran a fun run and became the fittest and healthiest I had been since I was a teenager. I was back to my fun-loving self, with energy to spare and a new found love of exercise.โ
4. Quiche Taco Boats
Need a way to make green veggies more enticing for kids? Try this!
Jessica says, โThese are super tasty and easy to make! I do a large batch and freeze for snacks throughout the week.โ

5. Chocolate Chia Muesli Bites
When you want to lose weight from your stomach, avoiding processed foods is a great start. Make your own healthy versions such as these, theyโre sweetened with rice malt syrup instead of white sugar (and thereโs peanut butter in them, need we say more?).
Jessica says,ย โMy kids LOVE these and so do I! Easy to make, cheaper than store bought and so much better for us! I freeze in individual zip lock bags so I can grab and go when we are rushing out the door.โ

6. Healthy Granola
This is such a great protein-rich recipe that you can make and keep on hand for meals and snacks.
Jessica May Magill says, โThis recipe is my go-to dessert! We have dinner early with the kids so I need a filling snack later on and this always hits the spot. Itโs full of healthy fats and low in sugar!โ
Jessicaโs story
Jessica says,ย โI lost 3.2st. with Healthy Mummyย 28 Day Weight Loss Challengeย andย Healthy Mummy Smoothiesย after the birth of my second child, and am now 2.5st. down after the birth of my third baby.โ
