Happy National Nutrition Week 2025!

​From 9–15 October, South Africans across the country come together to celebrate National Nutrition Week — a reminder that good health starts with good food.

This year’s theme, Food for Health, Health for All, shines a spotlight on a critical truth: everyone deserves access to safe, nutritious, and affordable meals — no matter their income or background.

Eating well isn’t only about personal wellness. It strengthens families, energises communities, and builds a healthier nation.
To make healthy eating easier for every household, we’re sharing a collection of budget-friendly recipes costing R40 or less per person — delicious, filling, and made with everyday ingredients.

You don’t need expensive products or fancy ingredients to nourish your body. Small changes add up — and we’re here to help you make them.

Download the recipes, try them at home, and be part of the movement toward better health for all. Click here to download.

Let’s make good nutrition a daily habit, not a luxury!
