Feel-good meal plan

✅ Pre-prepared shopping list to save you time

Our feel-good meal plan is packed with delicious recipes that optimise a range of nutrient-rich foods to help you feel your very best. Fruit such as avocado – low in sugar yet rich in a type of fat that is both good for the heart and may help manage the accumulation of belly fat – we’ve combined with mango in our cod with cucumber, avocado and mango salsa; the fats in the avocado boost our absorption of the orange coloured carotenes from mango. Carotenes are fat-soluble and important for glowing skin, a robust immune system and to maintain eye health. Being made up of mainly fibre and water, avocados are filling rather than fattening, and when combined with yogurt make a deliciously creamy dressing for our BBQ chicken drummers with green goddess salad. Including natural live yogurt regularly in the diet may result in better digestion, a stronger immune system and a sharper mind – that’s why you’ll also find it in our spiced lamb with bulgur and tahini dressing.

Sesame flavours feature throughout the feel-good plan, whether it’s the oil and seeds in our avocado, roasted broccoli and sesame rice salad or the tahini paste in our lemon roast vegetable with yogurt tahini and pomegranate, these little seeds are nutrient powerhouses and rich in protective compounds that help manage the damaging effects of day to day life. So, too, the pomegranate seeds which are also in our chana masala with pomegranate raita – these pretty jewel-like seeds are loaded with health benefits, from protecting our skin from pigmentation to helping our muscles recover after exercise.

UK dietary guidelines suggest we eat two portions of fish per week, with at least one being a fatty variety such as salmon – our sesame salmon with purple sprouting broccoli and sweet potato mash fits the bill perfectly. Rich in fibre and protective antioxidants, the sweet potato plays a useful role in supporting gut health and counts as one of your five-a-day.
