Banana Blueberry Smoothie

"This is a simple smoothie that we will whip up 3-4 times a week. Packed full of protein, calcium, filling but light for a before-sport snack. These are approximate measurements, you can add more or less of any of the ingredients and blend to your desired consistency." - Xavier + Whānau Read More

Chicken Parmigiana

"This is a family favourite and a regular rotation in our household. It is an Australian classic (Xavier is half Australian on his dad's side). We opened a pop-up restaurant just after lockdown centred around Xavier's dad's famous parmigianas. We are teaching Xavier how to make this dish and he is always keen to pitch in and help. His favourite part is getting messy while dredging the chicken breasts." - Xavier + Whānau Read More

Salmon Avocado Rice Bowl

"One of Xavier's favourite foods is salmon and avocado sushi, so this is a variation that he loves to have for dinner. It takes next to no time to prepare on a busy week night. It is a very "add to your own taste" dish. Rice, salmon and avocado are the key ingredients and pretty much everything else is optional. If you don't have all the ingredients on hand it will still taste great!" - Xavier + Whānau Read More

They’re Atlas's top choice for school-packed lunches and picnics, and I hope you enjoy them too!" - Atlas + Whānau Read More
