1. Choose your base
Decide on your protein, the one ingredient that will fill you up. Choose from quinoa, lentils, chickpeas or lean meats such as shredded chicken.
2. Add vegetables
Choose three of your favourite veggies such as spinach, sweet potato, butternut, kale, broccoli and cauliflower – anything that you like, or that’s readily and seasonally available. Chop, steam, roast or use raw.
3. Sprinkle on some seeds
Dry-roast your favourite seeds – sunflower, sesame or pumpkin – to add a crispy crunch to your meal.
4. Flavour and spice
You can go wild – it’s up to you, really! You can flavour your meal with anything from a drizzle of olive oil, a touch of honey or yoghurt to a low-fat dressing or a hint of chilli sauce – anything to tantalise your taste buds.
Assemble your daily dish by spooning a little of each of the ingredients in the order above. Use this exact formula with different ingredients to shake up your weekly meals.
