One of the easiest things you can meal prep is a batch of ground beef! BUTTTT what kind? Switch to lean ground beef for more protein and less fat per pound. Here’s how I make mine to make it flavourful!

Here’s an example of my motherness + dietitian-ness combined to use up leftovers but also make it nutritionally balanced!
There’s a big misconception that chickpeas (or other beans) is a high source of protein - but it really isn’t! So having choley with roti will likely leave you feeling low in energy and hungry shortly after.
Here’s how I made a lunch bowl that had the right amount of macros (high protein, carbs around 30g, and lots of fibre). I gotta say I felt so satisfied - both from a tastebud perspective and also feeling full and energized!

I was making a BIG mistake - I was making everyone the same breakfast and then getting frustrated when certain kids don’t finish their food. Turns out not everyone likes oatmeal every morning LOL 🤦🏻♀️. So I asked each family member (except the baby) what they would prefer for breakfast, and I’ve been setting aside 20 mins in the morning to prep all our breakfasts. I do it before anyone wakes up so it’s nice and quiet without feeling rushed. The results have been amazing - everyone is finishing their breakfast MashaAllah!
How is your breakfast routine going? What’s your biggest struggle?

PART 2 - Here’s how I’ve been using my salad jars for healthy lunches throughout the week. This also doubled up as a post workout meal so I paired it with BBQ chicken and roasted potatoes. The key to eating healthy is meal prep - but also understanding your body’s needs so you are eating the appropriate amount of macros!
Let me know if these types of videos are helpful where I show you how I put together my meals and the thought process behind it!

It’s been a year since I’ve thrown my daughter’s salah party and wow have they become trendy! I wanted to share a few insights on the impact the salah party has had on our daughter’s salah journey. Alhumdulilah a year later she is consistently praying her dhuhr + asr prayers. I wasn’t able to touch on all details in this short 90 second video but if you have any questions do comment below and I’ll try my best to answer them!

Here’s how to make a pasta salad that you can enjoy as a part of your healthy diet 🥗. [Save to make this summer]
This would be great paired with some grilled chicken or take to your next potluck!
If you are prepping it for the week, I would leave out the arugula and add that when it is time to serve so it doesn’t wilt too much.

What happens after you lose a lot of weight? For many people…they gain it all back! As I made a huge change in my life (stopped breastfeeding), I saw my weight slowly creeping back up. These are 5 things that helped me - let me know if you have any questions about weight loss or plateaus! #weightloss #plateau #postpartum #mombod #mombody #muslimah #hijabi #smoothiebowl #smoothie #dietitian #nutritionist #thehealthymuslims
When I graduated 10+ years ago, I knew I wanted to work with the Muslim community. I didn’t see a lot of women that look like me talking about eating healthy - and frankly, I couldn’t resonate with what “healthy food” looked like. I also wanted to focus on healthy eating in a way that goes beyond the superficial aspect of it - sure many people want to lose weight (and I’m here to support that!). The reason why my husband @strongerwithbelal and I started The Healthy Muslims was so that we can help Muslim women, men, and families live healthier lives so they can be better Muslims. And hey - let me know what recipe you want me to post first! #healthyeating #healthy #healthymuslimah #dietitian #nutritionist #muslimah #hijabi #entrepreneur #muslimpreneur #thehealthymuslims #healthymuslims #muslimmom
The past little while has been a whirlwind of emotions (and hormones) for me as I had to say goodbye to my breastfeeding journey with my son. Out of all 3 of my kids, this one was definitely the most physically challenging but alhumdulilah I’m proud of myself for persevering. There’s no denying the physical, emotional, and mental toll breastfeeding has on a woman but also how beautiful the bonding is, making it that much more difficult to end. Even though I’ve done this twice before, I always have this fear that my kids won’t come to me anymore after I’m no longer nursing them. But surely, we both eventually adjust and find a new normal - new ways to bond and new ways to build our relationship of mother and son. Alhumdulilah for this chapter! For those of you currently breastfeeding, know that yes it is hard, but this time too shall pass - the nights are long, but the years are short. You’ll get through it mama ❤️.

The much awaited yearly Eid tradition - a unique cheesecake flavour that I dream up and present to my family for Eid breakfast! This year’s cheesecake was inspired by @mintcandydesigns ‘s halwa bites I tried last year - I’ll be honest, they’re not as “aesthetic” but they are SO delicious! I knew I had to make a cheesecake spin on it.
Details: A biscoff crust with halwa infused into it. The cheesecake is marbled with halwa chunks and topped with whipping cream and halwa [Biscoff Walnut Halwa Cheesecake]
