I used these loads during my training for the 5K zombie run. A great source of protein, fibre and a mix of good fats, especially if you use hemp protein as it has a good balance between omega 3 and 6 fats. Plus some tasty peanut butter and chocolatey goodness just for good measure!
Plus they’re sweetened with fresh banana rather than dates which I feel makes a nice change.

Healthy eating made easy, who doesn’t have 10mins, noodles, spare veg, peanut butter and some kind of spice in their cupboard?
10 mins to make✓
At least 2/5 a day✓
Readily available ingredients✓
Super tasty with a chilli kick!✓
The chilli, ginger and salty flavours from the ingredients mix really well with the PB to give a spicy, sticky, tasty noodle meal. Definitely also a dish for when you’ve a cold and your nose is blocked up as the spice in this will clear it right out! Plus, getting chilli, garlic and ginger into your body regularly is great for the immune system!

Great, handy, healthy, delicious snack that counts as 1/5 a day! Brilliant for lunch boxes and once cooked they keep well in the fridge, chilling there until you need a quick snack e.g. great for when you’ve just finished a gym session & you’re hungry, just grab and eat, nom nom!

Super easy, cheap, tasty, healthy “fastfood”! Wahey!
This is my favourite omelette as the combo of the sweet tomato puree, cheese, basil and oregano really remind me of a pizza, AND there is so much nutrition in the ingredients, you can also squeeze more in there by adding lots of veg and chilli. Plus tomato puree provides
better absorption/bio-availability of lycopene than fresh tomatoes as it’s more concentrated and has been cooked, 1 generous tablespoon actually counts as 1 of your 5 a day! Brilliant!To add in even more veggie goodness, serve with a side salad. Try to opt for an organic cheese if you can, as I mentioned in my
cheap organic buys post it’ll contain more beneficial
omega 3 fats, meaning nutrition galore in this recipe if you choose wisely.

Minimal dishes required for this recipe AND it’s highly nutritious.
Normally I don’t make salads, they don’t interest me at all so even though I’m quite a healthy eater I just don’t eat them that much however, this salad is perfect for summer as the pomegranate seeds pop, giving a lovely juicy burst of flavour to the salad and the cheese balances out the acidic taste of the rocket. Perfect for the warmer weather, easy to make and it packs in so many good foods with bright colours and nutrition!

High in protein, fibre, green goodness, low in sugar with no refined nasties & made in under 10min!
This is a nutritional powerhouse of a meal. Each 50g of black bean noodles has 22g protein, 10g fibre and approx. 30% RDI iron (the absorption of which is boosted by the Vit C from the other ingredients) with only 7.5g carbs, that’s a seriously good nutritional “pasta” meal and that’s not even mentioning the nutritional goodness you get from the avocado, basil, peas and garlic! Plus this is 2/5 a day (3 if you use more noodles), you can’t get much better than that!
