Weekly meal prep - cook - St Kilda East

$200

St Kilda East VIC, Australia

21st Apr 2026

We are a couple living in St Kilda East looking for someone to come and help meal prep for the week, ideally on a Monday. It would involve coming to our house and making breakfast (eg overnight oats) for one person for 4 days, lunch for one person for 4 days that can be reheated in a microwave if needed (this can be the same thing for the 4 days a week), some healthy snacks (eg chopped vegetables, fruit, green smoothie) and dinner for 2 people for 3-4 nights. We like to eat as healthy as possible, with lots of vegetables and free range meat/fish. We can do the shopping or pay for you to do this and will reimburse for the groceries. Ideally you would also clean the kitchen afterwards and use our storage containers to put everything in the fridge. Some of the kinds of meals we enjoy are stir fries, green goddess salad with a protein, Mediterranean bean salad with canned tuna, salmon poke bowl, vegetable soups or soup with some veggies, meat + 3 veg. We love Asian, Mediterranean and Mexican food especially. Prefer that carbs are only a small part of the meal or can be adjusted. If you are familiar with macros and can make the meals with the cals available that would be great too. Happy for you to provide a menu or I can give suggestions.
