No stranger to doing things a little differently and always being responsive to consumer trends and member preferences, Wests Newcastle with its five clubs, three gyms and three hotels in the Hunter region, as well as the nib Newcastle Knights, has announced an exciting partnership which will see healthy dining options on the table.
That’s where Teresa Cutter comes in. Teresa is a classically trained chef, nutritionist, best-selling author, accredited fitness trainer and media personality. Known by many as ‘The Healthy Chef’, Teresa’s primary goal is to get people cooking, eating and thinking healthier.
Having admired what Teresa Cutter does, Wests approached Teresa to assist with creating healthy eating options at each of their outlets for day-to-day dining.
This March will see the official launch of this synergistic partnership, with new healthy options added to each club’s menus all designed by Teresa Cutter. From her famous World’s Healthiest Chocolate Cake to wholesome breakfast smoothies, to plant-based Bolognese and beyond, Teresa has made her mark on the clubs’ offering. Seasonally changing Healthy Chef meal options will be available at all Wests Clubs bistros and a selection of cakes, healthy hot ‘Naked Chocolate’, teas and smoothies will be available in all club patisseries year-round. Members will now be able to choose between the club’s traditional menus, or try a healthy alternative.
For Teresa Cutter “it’s about celebrating the elegance and power of pure and wholesome ingredients, and educating people on how to prepare, eat and think more healthily.” she comments of the opportunity.
The 140,000 plus Wests membership base and their guests will be able to make healthier choices when dining at any of the numerous dining outlets across Newcastle and Port Stephens. Coinciding nicely with the reopening of New Lambton’s fully refurbished Bistro area, members can now enjoy a relaxed and healthy dining experience at Wests.
Members will also have access to The Healthy Chef’s Functional Food Range, consisting of organically sourced proteins, superfoods, collagen, teas and nutritional based wholefood products and cookbooks at special member prices, from next month.
Teresa Cutter will have a selection of her best-selling cookbooks available for sale at special Wests Members prices. Wests members will also be able to take advantage of an incredible discount of 20% off the recently launched and ‘must-have’ Healthy Chef App.
Throughout March, April and May when a menu item is ordered from The Healthy Chef selection at any Wests club, including the daily $15 lunch and dinner option available at each Bistro, members will go in the draw to win a Years’ Worth of Wellness. The prize will include a weekly meal from The Healthy Chef selection, valued at $900*.
You’ll love the wellness options available at all clubs seven days a week for both lunch and dinner – from Salmon Burgers to Super Green Pie to the always-on Vegan Spaghetti Bolognese, available in all bistro outlets until the end of May. Or if you find yourself at one of Wests Patisserie’s, be sure to give the World’s Healthiest Chocolate Cake, Healthy Carrot Cake with Yoghurt Frosting or one of Teresa’s famous smoothies a go. The Stress Buster Smoothie, the Super Green Smoothie, Nourish Glow Smoothie and her Naked Chocolat drinks and Beauty Tea will be available year round.
