Swedish model and mother-of-five, Frida Redknapp, understands how difficult it can be to juggle family, a career, and home. Although she loves to experiment in the kitchen, she notices how challenging it is for moms to manage healthy meals seamlessly. That’s when she came up with a new idea about promoting healthy eating.

During an interview with Women’s Health Magazine on June 2, she reveals how she’s been working on making healthy meals accessible for everyone. Lovingly calling the project her “sixth baby,” Redknapp shares the thinking behind her cooking blend brand, Frood. The idea is simple. It is to cut down prep and cooking time and still have incredible, healthy meals on your plate, daily.

"It’s never about restriction," she shared about her secret to healthy eating. "It’s about balance and consistency. Most of the time I make nourishing choices, but there’s absolutely room for beautiful bread and butter, chocolate and enjoying life."

Redknapp shares how she always enjoyed cooking, even as a child. She often experimented in the kitchen with unusual ingredients, and while her recipes were great, some of them were also ‘horrendous.’

Years later, she views healthy eating as a way to support her overall lifestyle and responsibilities. To her, it is directly related to her physical and mental well-being.

"I really enjoy eating a wholesome diet, because I feel like I then do better with work and exercise, and I'm a better mum," Redknapp said.

Redknapp ensures that her blends are versatile and can be used in different recipes to save time.

“The meatball blend could become meatballs, but it could also become a meatloaf," she shared. "You're still cooking the meal yourself – we're just taking away some of the prep. It's not like putting a ready meal in the microwave."

Her motive was also to make these healthy, accessible meals fun and tasty.

How Frida Redknapp Adds Fun and Deliciousness to Healthy Meals

Redknapp often talks about the importance of having a healthy relationship with food. And yes, that means not restricting yourself to just ‘healthy meals,’ but to give every meal a healthy twist.

“I would never say to my kids, ‘Don't eat that’" Redknapp said. "I'd rather focus on adding things in – making sure we have extra vegetables and encouraging balance."

Whether it’s pizza, burgers, waffles, or pancakes, Redknapp ensures every meal is balanced with vegetables, fibre, and protein. She also talked about substituting regular ingredients with healthy ones like olive oil, nuts, and seeds.

She has also replaced refined flour with oat flour in her kitchen. To make the meals protein-rich, Redknapp uses cottage cheese and Greek yoghurt in her cooking.
