Luke Hines Joins 2026 Push-Up Challenge for Mental Health Awareness

Celebrity chef and TV personality Luke Hines has joined the 2026 Push-Up Challenge. The event is Australia’s largest mental health and fitness campaign. He is using his platform to promote awareness and support for mental health organisations. The Push-Up Challenge aims to raise funds and visibility for groups like Lifeline and headspace. Participants take on daily fitness tasks while encouraging open conversations about mental well-being.

To help those taking part, Hines shared his popular Protein Chop Salad recipe. It includes 200g cottage cheese, one ripe avocado, three dill pickles, and eight boiled eggs. Fresh chives, dill, and sea salt add flavour, while two slices of sourdough with butter provide extra energy. Hines’ involvement brings attention to the cause. His recipe offers a practical way for participants to stay energised during the challenge. The event continues to grow as a key initiative for mental health support in Australia.
