Opening someone else’s refrigerator is culinary voyeurism. But it’s even better when that fridge belongs to a health and fitness professional.
We’ve peeked inside the icebox door of Pilates trainer and pre and post-natal body whisperer, Nicole Serje, to see what she always keeps chilled and ready for energy, health and super fresh taste.
The chilling verdict? She’s a waste warrior, super organized and has more milks than a cool café.
This is what we found on the shelves:

I always have eggs (free range) but I’m not so fussy about organic, although I try to get them if I can.
Most of my fresh produce is from a local organic farm in the New Territories, as I find that it’s really tasty. My helper or I also buy produce from the wet market nearby, but I buy as much as I can from the farm in the New Territories, especially his seasonal strawberries.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”20606″ img_size=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]“I have a variety of milks – cow, nut, rice, coconut – for the entire family. I try to bake with alternative milks as my son has asthma. My kids are 13, 9 and 5, two girls and boy. I personally have cut back on dairy, but not totally cut it out. I don’t really eat cheese, but I do have it for my kids in sandwiches and pizzas.

There’s a bulk store in Sai Ying Pun called Live Zero (https://livezero.hk) where you can take your glass containers and fill them up with produce.
“I also wrap my cheese in beeswax paper (which I buy from Live Zero and Plastic Free HK, https://www.plasticfreehk.com) It’s reusable and biodegradable and lasts about a year. I try not to use cling film, but I do have it somewhere.
“I also keep sauces in the fridge – BBQ, chili, tomato, tamari and various condiments.
“I even keep my supplement pills – vitamin E and a zinc/magnesium combination, as well as fish oil. PLUS, I keep my nail polish in the fridge! I read that it’s keeps it from getting gluggy.
“I have organic Greek yoghurt – in a big a tub – as there’s less waste. I always try to buy organic yoghurt (my husband likes the Skyr yoghurt because of the high protein content). My kids like Greek with honey.
“There’s always cottage cheese, because I like it as a quick protein fix.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
