Our Time on MKR
In 2014 we were lucky enough to be chosen for the first ever series of My Kitchen Rules New
Zealand.
Our MKR experience was an emotional rollercoaster, but it’s a rollercoaster we would ride all over
again.
We started our journey with very little confidence, knowledge and experience, we didn’t think we
would make it past the first round… but we did, we got given the very first 10/10 in the competition,
made it all the way through to Top 5 and to top it off we took home the People’s Choice Award.
We left MKR with confidence in ourselves and our cooking ability and gained new knowledge. The
memories made will be treasured forever as well as our life-long friendships and a stronger
relationship.
We were away from home and routine for 3 months while filming the series. Our schedules were
hectic, the hours were long, and needless to say we didn’t have the time or energy to look after our
bodies properly which resulted in us both gaining the weight we had worked so hard to get off
before the show.
We decided there needed to be a change, something healthy and affordable for people on the go,
and this is how the idea Healthkicks came about…
