1 – ELEVATE YOUR FLAVOURS
I’m always well-stocked with extra virgin olive oil and avocado: these are healthy fats that can elevate so many dishes. I also always have lemons or verjuice. These ingredients all elevate flavours in my cooking and make the most delicious dressings.
2 – OMEGA-3 RICH STAPLES
Protein + Omega-3 rich tinned salmon, tuna and sardines, plus golden flaxseed. These are all wonderful staples, especially the tinned fish folded through steamed rice or pasta with lemon, avocado and fresh herbs, making an easy dinner. Flaxseed is perfect to include in salads, smoothies, porridge and sprinkled over yoghurt bowls, too.
3 – GUT SUPPORT
With my favourite prebiotics + probiotics: kiwi fruit, blueberries and natural pot set yoghurt. Great for your digestion, promotes regularity, and so beneficial for constipation and reducing bloating. I love mixing yoghurt with blueberries and a spoonful of Healthy Chef Collagen for a quick and easy breakfast.
4 – VEGETARIAN PROTEINS
Such as free-range eggs, organic tofu or lentils. I love making a simple omelette or frittata to use up all the leftover veggies in the fridge. I’ve also recently enjoyed making tofu schnitzel or slow-simmered lentils with rice (mujadara) from my new cookbook, SIMPLE HEALTHY RECIPES, served with caramelised onion and a dollop of yoghurt.
