Steph Claire Smith & Laura Henshaw play 'Healthy or Hyped'

Your sushi fix just levelled up. It’s all your fave sushi flavours in one bowl - fresh, a bit of spice and it’s damn tasty.

Looking to make your lunches more exciting? The Kic App has the perfect sushi salad for a fresh and tasty Summer meal.

Kic co-founder, Steph Claire Smith tells Body+Soul, "for too long, when I struggled with body image, I was fixated on eating ‘healthy’ lunches that were plain, restrictive, and honestly, so bland. But healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring - it can and should be delicious! If you’re anything like me and love grabbing sushi for lunch (when I’m not pregnant!) you’re going to love this sushi salad. Hack for pregnant mummas - I’ve been getting my sushi fix by DIY’ing this bowl from home. It tastes just like your go-to tuna roll, plus, it’s perfect for lunch prep and doesn’t fall apart while you’re eating it - we love."
