This week I thought I’d share some recipes for foods we’d normally have as a treat that have been made healthier. Some of these take a little longer than usual recipes I share here but they can also be reheated so you only need to cook once for multiple portions/meals. Enjoy!

Breakfast Edition

All recipes except the tofu scramble can be made in advance and taken to work and either eaten cold or reheated. Some can also be made in larger portions, kept in the fridge and saved for another day to save you more time in the mornings.

7th Oct

This week I thought I would do a selection of salads to give you some inspo. I would suggest serving these salads with some form of protein: cold cooked meats, smoked salmon, cold hard boiled eggs or some grilled/air fried meat/fish or if you’d prefer to keep it simple and vegetarian friendly, increase the veg portions in each recipe and add some lentils/beans/edamame/chickpeas etc.
