Dietitian approved gluten free teriyaki chicken 

Gluten free meals can be quick, easy, delicious and nutritious. 

At the best of times, meal prep is a bit of a chore. Add a gluten free dietary requirement where leftovers taste like a warmed up bad time, and you’ve got a chore no one can be bothered with on a Sunday afternoon. 

But, what if I told you that your gluten free meal preps could be quick, easy, delicious and keep you full? You’d have your apron on in no time. 

“When my clients hear ‘gluten free’ they think their meals have to be bland and complicated, but I can assure you they don’t. They can taste just as good as their gluten-filled counterparts, and you absolutely don’t need to be spending hours in the kitchen to make it nutritious and delicious.”

- Neda, Dietitian, Nutrition by Neda

“Nutrition plays a huge role in achieving your training goals and the stir fry below is a great protein filled, nutrient dense meal that can fuel your body in all the right ways.”
