Flexi meal plan

Cutting back on meat doesn’t have to mean cutting it out altogether. This flexi meal plan is designed for those looking to embrace more plant-focused meals while still enjoying the occasional fish or meat dish, offering a balanced, flexible approach to eating.

Sometimes referred to as a 'flexitarian' diet, this style focuses on increasing plant-based foods while reducing overall meat consumption, rather than following strict rules. It’s a simple shift that can support both health and sustainability, all while keeping meals varied and enjoyable.

Dishes like lasagne primavera and a 5-a-day gnocchi bake show how layering vegetables can create comforting, satisfying meals, while sweet potato and pinto quesadillas bring together fibre-rich ingredients for a filling, plant-led option. Cauliflower roasted in anchovy butter delivers deep, savoury flavour, while hasselback squash with chickpeas highlights how spices, legumes and vegetables can build texture. When meat or fish appears, it plays more of a supporting role. The poached cod is gently flavoured with lemongrass and ginger, allowing the aromatics and grains to sing.

Designed to be flexible and approachable, this plan makes it easier to shift towards a more plant-forward way of eating without feeling restricted. Putting vegetables, grains and pulses at the centre of this plan makes it a great place to start for those looking to reduce their meat intake.
