This ground beef recipe has become a favourite in my house. The Korean flavours are so good without being spicy at all, unless you also make the sauce! you can absolutely batch cook this or at least make an extra portion or two for the next day. The rest of the bowl can be changed with the season and whatever you feel like or need. A fried egg on top is a favourite extra for me.
A delicious protein rich and fibre rich curry, The red lentils thicken up the sauce as well as providing you with plenty of iron along with the spinach. You can serve this with a small helping of brown rice - but you have plenty of fibre-rich carbs with the chickpeas and lentils and so for a lower carb option the rice is not necessary.
Another fish recipe here as it is so quick and easy for a summer evening meal.
Coming in at 29g protein per 100g, your portion size will depend on who you are cooking for and what your requirements are for protein that day..
This can be served with a summer colourful salad, as part of a nourish bowl or with steamed veggies. When in season, it’s perfect with asparagus.
Make an extra portion or 2 and serve in a poke bowl the next day!
This is a really light spring/summer meal, perfect for lunch or dinner.
With a 200g salmon portion per person and the chickpeas, you will achieve 40-45g protein per portion.
I often opt for beans, lentils or chickpeas as a side as I love them and they offer a great mixed nutritional profile of complex carbs, fibre and some protein.
This is a really nice light dish on the table in just 25mins! Protein, good fibre and super tasty. I used the Merchant Gourmet lentil pouch for eased speed. Other white fish such as haddock or hake or halibut would work well too.
When in season, I like to serve with grilled asparagus on the side.
With a 200g cod portion per son and the lentils, you will achieve 40-45g protein per portion.
This is a real family favourite. You can mix up the greens to whatever the family enjoy. It’s also super quick and easy. It’s high in protein with a chicken breast per serving. The edamame beans will also add a little more protein. i feel it doesn’t need any extra carbs - but you could serve with a little brown rice if needed.
A vegetarian one pot is such a great versatile dish for a midweek nourishing evening meal, with leftovers for the next day. Meat of choice can be added if wanted or needed. This is a super quick and easy to put together with everyday fridge and cupboard staples. Any curry powder will do and you can modify and tweak to suit your family’s preference. You can also add / hide more veggies in there depending on what you’ve got available.
Turkey mince is a wonderful lean and affordable meat to use. It can be very blend and therefore has to be dressed! This burger is so tasty and easy to make ahead. This could also be made into meatballs and used in a ramen bowl. Fresh ginger, coriander, lime and spring onions are a match made in heaven. Add a little chilli if you like it hot.
This chicken recipe is fabulous for so many reasons; the chicken and marinade quick and easy to make and you make as much of this as you like for dinner and cook extra for a couple of lunches. It can be eaten hot with fluffy rice, sweetcorn, a little mango avocado salsa or cold with green leaves and colourful chopped veggies or crudités. My son also pointed out he would serve it in a wrap with guacamole, salad, tomatoes and red onions! You’ve got to try it!
With December's festivities approaching, we're all starting to think about changing things up a bit and bringing the best seasonal ingredients together with warming spices and flavours. As we do truly love our rainbow food, red cabbage and apples are just perfect and will accompany game meat, real butcher's sausages, gammon or a Sunday roast perfectly.
I think I'm a little bit obsessed with these air fryer salmon bites! they’re such an easy and tasty salmon recipe that produces perfectly tender, bite-sized pieces of salmon for a quick midweek supper or to add to your bowls for a quick lunch on busy work or studio days!
They can be eaten hot or cold so they are great to make ahead!
We all need a quick, easy and tasty pasta bowl in our repertoire. This is a balanced dish that you can prepare in 20mins. Prawns are a fabulous source of lean protein also low in calories.
As I don’t tolerate gluten I have tried countless pasta alternatives to wheat and these brown rice pasta by Freee Foods is the best for texture and the closest to standard pasta in my experience.
This dish is a crowd pleaser for sure. I serve with a side salad.
Who doesn’t love a one pan meal? This one is balanced, heart warming, family friendly and high in protein. It can be reheated. All you need to add is a side or two of seasonal veggies. Or for the tricky eaters, hide even more veggies in there!

My children scored this a 9.2/10 - and said it would have been 9.8 without the chard! Spinach can be used or other greens if your family aren’t keen on kale either. I have mentioned the brands of harissa paste and chickpeas as these are really good brands that make such a difference to the overall dish. See tip below for protein content of the dish.
A really quick and easy baked chicken recipe. Marinating the chicken thighs in yoghurt and spices makes it really tender. You could cook this in either an air fryer or oven. I allow 2 chicken thighs per person - but adapt for different portion sizes as needed.
If you’re after a simple high protein meal, this asian inspired omelette with prawns is the easiest most fabulous lunch or brunch for 2, or even a quick midweek dinner. All the flavours of Asian cooking and packed with nourishing protein and portions of veggies! Serve with a side salad, stir fried pack choi or brown rice if higher carbs needed.
Sardines are one of the most non-dairy, nutrient dense forms of calcium with a 135g tin usually containing 363mg of calcium. Choose a good quality tin of sardines with the bones. I like the brands Parmentier or King Oscar. This lunch contains a whopping 561.5mg of calcium to show you just how easy it is to incorporate calcium in a non-dairy way to your diet. See tip below for calcium amounts of other ingredients.
You can’t beat a creamy chicken and this one is dairy free as well as being gluten free and low carb. It’s quick and easy and low washing up with just one pan used. I use the handy little 240ml pot of chicken stock from Osso which I get from WellEasy so reduced in price from the supermarkets. I also get my coconut milk from there.
These asparagus and sweetcorn fritters make a fabulous brunch and can be made ahead. They are also a great lunch alongside a salad. They are very versatile and can be eaten cold, added to a lunch box or picnic. Add a poached or fried egg and that’s good for anytime of day to fuel or refuel. Very handy for picnics and kids savoury snack.
