This meal plan is designed to be simple, helping you to create healthy and sustainable choices around eating well. Eating healthy should not be difficult, financially or environmentally unsustainable. Our main advice is to buy fresh and local where possible, and just do your best.
You should be able to find all the ingredients on the shopping list between your local grocer, supermarket, farmers market and butcher. Here are some of our favourite brands to use. Please use this as a guide only.

Fish, Tinned Fish & Seafood
Depending on where you live, it may be worth exploring fisheries near you and speaking to them about how and where they source their products.
The MSC is a non-profit organisation responsible for educating and providing information to suppliers and consumers around sustainable fishing. Seafood products labelled with the MSC certification have met their sustainability standards. It is worth looking out for this blue label when shopping for fish.
Smaller independent groceries offer a selection of sustainable seafood options. Check out this insightful guide to sustainable seafood with some suggested brands.
This sustainable seafood guide by Good Fish is a helpful resource when deciding which seafood to buy. We often opt for Tasmanian Salmon, when in fact the majority of Tasmanian Salmon is farmed.
Here are some things to look out for:
– Wild caught is generally more sustainable than farmed seafood
– Canada and Alaska are leaders in sustainable fisheries
– MSC blue labelled fish
