Coconut chia pudding, the creamy, dreamy kind 🥥✨

1. Mix everything together except the jam and nut butter.
2. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

A day in my life as a private chef in LA 🍝
Coffee first, hair up, good music on… and then we cook. Meatballs, salmon, grilled squash, chicken & corn, fresh bean salad, all made from scratch in my client’s kitchen.
And yes, I showed you the messy counter too. That’s part of the magic ✨

Planning your meals ahead doesn’t have to mean eating the same thing every day. A good meal prep can still be flavorful, satisfying, and full of variety.
This week’s recipes combine protein, carbs, vegetables, fresh herbs, and simple homemade sauces to create balanced meals that are easy to prep and actually enjoyable to eat.
Steak with Baked Sweet Potato & Chimichurri
Turkey Meatballs with Pasta
Stir-Fried Cumin Chicken with Rice Steak Fajitas with Rice & Tzatziki
Each meal gives you a different combination of flavors and textures while keeping protein at the center of the plate. Preparing a few components ahead of time - cooked rice, roasted vegetables, sauces, or proteins - can also make putting meals together during a busy week much easier.
You don’t need complicated recipes to eat well.
Simple ingredients, good seasoning, and a little preparation can go a long way.
Save these recipes for your next meal prep day and let me know which one you’d make first 👩🏻‍🍳

Meet Chef Oya 🌿

My journey started far beyond the kitchen from years of traveling the world as a flight attendant, to yoga, mindfulness, retreats, and eventually finding my way to what I truly love: bringing people together through food.

Today, I’m a private chef creating Mediterranean-inspired, wholesome food for retreats, events, and weekly meal prep.

For me, food is more than a meal. It’s connection, community, and care. 🤍

Welcome to my table.
I’m Chef Oya. 🌿

What a week! ✨💛

Another unforgettable @awakenedwarriortribe Retreat in the books! This time I had the best teammate by my side, @sncerenn , and she made everything so much easier. 🫶

Together we created beautiful meals, shared lots of laughs, survived a little chaos, handled the stress, the rush, and those “are we actually going to pull this off?” moments. 😂🔥

And then… seeing everyone’s smiles, full plates, and happy bellies made every second worth it. 🥹🍽️❤️

There are definitely moments when the pressure makes me wonder, “Why am I doing this?” But then I see people connecting over food, enjoying every bite, and leaving happy and I remember exactly why. ✨

Grateful for this amazing community, another successful retreat, and everyone who trusted us to feed them with love. Until next time! 🌿💚

And @edenforestcollective

3-4-5th of July, we’ll be gathering at the beautiful @edenforestcollective in Fillmore for an unforgettable @awakenedwarriortribe , and we honestly can’t wait! 💚

As your retreat chefs, my amazing chef partner and I are preparing a vibrant Mediterranean-inspired menu using fresh organic ingredients from the farm whenever possible. 🥗🍉🍋 Our goal is simple: nourish your body, fill your belly, and put a smile on your face with healthy, delicious meals made with love. 👩‍🍳✨

Imagine waking up surrounded by mountains, falling asleep under a sky full of stars, enjoying an incredible farm-to-table dinner, and listening to the peaceful river flowing beside the property. 🌄🌙🌊

This retreat is packed with unforgettable experiences:
🧘‍♀️ Morning somatic sessions
💪 A wild outdoor compound workout
🔥 The highly anticipated obstacle course
🎶 Heart-opening Kirtan
🐎 A very special Horse Therapy experience in honor of the Year of the Horse
✨ And so many more surprises waiting for you…

We can’t wait to welcome you, share amazing food, build meaningful connections, and create memories that will stay with us long after the weekend ends.

See you at Eden Farm! 🌞💚

Cooking at the Awakened Warriors retreat was more than just preparing meals — it was a heart-opening experience.
Seeing smiling, satisfied faces after each meal reminded me why I love cooking so much.

Nourishing others with fresh, healthy, and soulful food is a gift I cherish deeply. Watching people connect, grow, and refuel — both physically and emotionally — filled me with gratitude.

Food is love. Food is connection. And in moments like these, I truly feel aligned with my purpose.

Thank you, Awakened Warriors family, for trusting me to be part of your journey. My heart (and kitchen) is always open. 🧡✨

Thank you for capturing this moments!
