This spicy tomato turkey mince, lentil and beans soup is a nourishing, high-protein and high fibre meal that’s perfect for batch cooking and busy weeks. Made with lean turkey mince, red lentils, beans and plenty of veggies it’s hearty filling and packed with nutrients. Suitable either for a lunch on the go in a flask or an evening meal that the whole family will enjoy.
This is the kind of high protein breakfast bowl you can have 2 or 3 times a week with minimun prep time. Make the greek yoghurt and chia seed base so there is enough for 3 days. Each morning, serve in a bowl or container to go and add a variety of fruits, nuts and seeds. You should be able to hit 30g protein and about 10g fibre.
This chicken and leek soup is the ultimate comfort food with a healthy twist. Made in one pot for easy clean-up, it combines lean chicken breast, creamy white beans and fibre-rich red lentils to keep you full and energises. Perfect for lunch and dinner, this recipe is high in protein and high in fibre. Plus it’s ideal for meal prep and freezes beautifully, making it a go-to for busy weeks.
Gochujang paste has become a staple in my kitchen alongside harissa. It’s perfect for elevating a very simple stew like this pork shoulder one pot. The addition of kimchi brings such flavour. Affordable pork and potatoes are your best friends to feed a family well.
