hi! i’m ash

mama, nutritionist, cookie monster

I love food. More specifically, I love tasty comfort food and the joy it brings my family and me!  And as your new best friend in the kitchen, I want to share that joy and excitement with you! 

Here at Nourash, you’ll find healthy eating tips, meal prep tricks, delicious recipes and science-backed nutritional fun facts.  

I hope you’ll feel inspired to learn something new, excited to play in the kitchen, and motivated to make healthy eating a tasty lifestyle choice you can’t resist!

MY BACK STORY

Healthy comfort food and meal prep saved my health and changed my life forever.

After going through a painful health crisis in 2017/18, I left my banking career to become a Holistic Nutritionist and I learned how to control my health condition naturally, with food and lifestyle changes. I went from being depressed and barely able to walk, to happy and mobile…all because of food!

Healthy eating and meal prep gave me my life back, and if you are suffering through health challenges of your own, I not only empathize, I applaud you for taking this step and taking back your life too.

a few more things…

  1. Truth… I used to be addicted to fast food. So much so I was at the drive-through on average twice a day. While it tasted so good at the time, it did a number on my health, to say the least.
  2. Follow-up truth… I still enjoy the odd Big Mac and fries from time to time … because a happy life is all about balance!
  3. My love of meal prep started 9 years ago with my daughters. I had never meal-prepped a day in my life until I started making baby and toddler food from scratch, after reading about the impact food has on a child’s temperament and sleep patterns. I quickly learned how much easier life (and parenthood) could be when you had healthy ‘fast food’ at your fingertips…and in the freezer. Needless to say, I was hooked!
  4. I love to geek out on all things productivity and planning! Creating and implementing systems are my cornerstones for getting it all done! Whether it’s meal prep, work, weekly chores or a new healthy habit I’m adopting, I love planning and putting systems in place to make it as easy, achievable and fun as possible!

The easier something is, the more likely we'll act The easier something is, the more likely we'll actually do it. 😆

That's why I love simple meal prep recipes and systems... they remove friction and make healthy options the easy options!

These lemon blueberry energy balls are one of my daughters' favourite freezer snacks because they're ready for them whenever snack time 'rolls' around!

One thing that's made snack time easier in our hou One thing that's made snack time easier in our house is relying on a handful of balanced snack combinations week after week.

They're simple, kid-approved, and easy to customize depending on what we have on hand.

Here are five we've been loving lately:

🧀 Cheese + fruit
🫐 Lemon Blueberry Energy Balls + fruit
🌮 Taco Hummus + veggies
🥒 Hidden Veggie Mini Muffins + fruit
🍪 No-Bake Cookies + fruit

Notice a pattern? 😆

Most of these pair a homemade snack with fresh fruit or vegetables. Once you've meal prepped one or two things for the week, snack time becomes much easier.

Healthy eating isn't about making every snack from scratch.

It's about creating a simple system that makes nourishing foods the easy choice. 🤎

If you'd like the recipe for one of these make-ahead snacks, comment its name below, and I'll send it your way.

While it's fun to save new recipes, healthy eating While it's fun to save new recipes, healthy eating doesn't start there...

It starts with having a system that makes nourishing your family easier on busy days.

For me, that system starts with three simple things:

A plan →
You don't need to plan every day or meal perfectly, but having a rough plan makes it easier to know what to do next.

A routine →
A few repeatable habits, like washing produce after grocery shopping or doubling every recipe you make, reduce your daily decisions and free up time later.

A list you can trust →
Instead of searching for new recipes every week, keep a running list of family favourites you know everyone will eat. Then build your weekly plan from that list.

Knowing what to eat is only part of the equation. The real challenge is making healthy choices easy enough to repeat.

That's what simple healthy eating systems are all about. 🤎

What part feels hardest for you right now: planning, routines, or knowing what to make?

My formula for building balanced lunches for my gi My formula for building balanced lunches for my girls without overthinking it or going crazy: 

A balanced base + protein + produce + a treat to look forward to. 😋

For this lunchbox, I started with kefir chia pudding as my balanced base, then added:

✓ Protein mini muffins

✓ Blueberries and celery

✓ Dark chocolate chip stuffed raspberries

Done!

Knowing what to eat is only part of the equation. The real challenge is making those healthy choices easy enough to repeat on busy days. 

That's where this simple lunchbox framework can help. 🤎
