Two People, Five Days, One Nourishing Winter Reset

Winter has a way of slowing us down.

The colder months often leave us craving comfort, routine and meals that feel genuinely nourishing. But between busy schedules, family commitments and everyday life, preparing balanced meals from scratch isn't always realistic.

That's exactly why we created the Nourishing Winter Reset.

Designed as a gentle 5-day meal plan, the Nourishing Winter Reset brings together warming plant-based meals, gut-friendly ingredients, fibre-rich wholefoods and comforting seasonal flavours to help you feel supported, satisfied and back in rhythm through winter.

To put it to the test, we invited two members of our community to experience the reset for themselves: elite ultramarathon runner Tom Batrouney and plant-based recipe developer and content creator Brooklyn Hircock.

Here's what they discovered after five days of nourishing meals, immunity shots and intentional winter eating.

Why Winter Calls for a Different Kind of Nourishment

Winter can often feel like a season of extremes. We crave warming comfort foods, yet we still want meals that leave us feeling energised, balanced and well.

The Nourishing Winter Reset was created with this in mind.

Inside the bundle are ten thoughtfully curated meals, including favourites like the Creamy Coconut Laksa, Ayurvedic Pumpkin Curry, Mushroom Miso Broth, Classic Minestrone Soup and Middle Eastern Nourish Bowl. Alongside these meals are three Immunity Shots and our signature Pickled Beetroot and Red Cabbage, bringing brightness, flavour and gut-loving goodness to every day.

Rather than restriction or rigid rules, the reset focuses on making nourishing choices feel easier through the colder months.

Tom's Experience: Comfort Food That Keeps Up With an Active Life

As an elite ultramarathon runner, Tom Batrouney is constantly thinking about how he fuels his body. But like many of us, winter changes what he reaches for.

"For me, winter is the time for comfort food and also really prioritising health."

"Comfort food is what I crave during the cold months because it literally makes me feel comfortable when I'm a person who struggles in the cold. IKU's soups and Laksa is exactly what I reach for."

For Tom, the reset struck a balance between the comforting meals he craves and the nourishment he needs to support an active lifestyle.

"When it comes to healthy eating I'm always looking to fuel my body with energy and nutrients for my active life, but winter is also the time of year I tend to get sick with the common cold."

One of his standout favourites was the Immunity Shots.

"IKU's Immunity Shot straight out of the bottle first thing in the morning is a delicious and energising start to the day. I've also been having them over ice on sunny winter weekend afternoons and they hit just right."

Perhaps most importantly, the reset helped simplify nutrition during a busy season.

"IKU's Winter Reset is convenient, quick food, but it's prepared intentionally for the season we are in with love and the best ingredients. This time of year I love to keep busy with work, family and staying active, and IKU helps me make sure I'm healthy and have the energy to turn up the way I want to."

Brooklyn's Experience: Nourishment Made Easy

For plant-based recipe developer and content creator Brooklyn Hircock, convenience was one of the biggest surprises.

"Convenient, but not “takeaway convenient” - actually healthy and full of good stuff."

Throughout the five days, Brooklyn noticed a positive difference in how she felt.

"I've felt lighter in my gut."

She also found the meals consistently satisfying, helping remove the need to think about what to cook next.

"I've always felt satiated and the right level of full, not too full or ever hungry."

As someone who already values plant-based eating, she appreciated that every meal in the reset is both 100% plant-based and gluten free.

The warming nature of the meals also made them particularly enjoyable during winter.

"The warm meals have been so nice to have in winter - really loving the soups and curries."

And like Tom, the Immunity Shots quickly became part of her morning routine.

"Immunity shots in the mornings are the best way to start your day" she emphasised.

For Brooklyn, the reset delivered exactly what many people need during a busy winter season: nourishing food without the planning, shopping or cooking.

"It's so perfect for a mum that doesn't have time to cook and needs a little reset, or anyone that's craving nourishing meals this winter. I highly recommend it!"

A Simpler Way to Nourish Yourself This Winter

While Tom and Brooklyn live very different lifestyles, one theme came through clearly from both of their experiences: nourishing yourself doesn't have to be complicated.

Whether you're balancing training, work, family life or simply trying to stay well through winter, having thoughtfully prepared meals on hand can make it easier to stay connected to healthy habits.

The Nourishing Winter Reset isn't about perfection. It's about creating space for simple, nourishing choices through warming meals, purposeful ingredients and flavours that leave you feeling supported from the inside out.

Because sometimes the most powerful reset isn't about doing more.

It's about coming back to simple.
