This is a protein packed and liver-loving salad. The liver support is from the kale and broccoli which are members of the cruciferous family of vegetables. The protein comes from the quinoa, edamame beans, almonds and almond butter in the dressing. A fantastic post-workout salad to keep you satisfied.

The beauty of this lentil salad is its versatility! Some elements (lentils and salmon) can be added warm, and all can be made ahead or already in the fridge and cupboard so you can assemble this beautiful salad at the last minute. It makes a perfect starter for 4 or a balanced lunch for 2. The lentils and salmon provide a good source of protein and healthy fats to keep you full for longer. This can be made with any type of lentil - but I think those beluga lentils are perfect and sturdy for this salad. Second favourite to use are Puy lentils.

Regular readers of our blog and social media pages will know that we love a salad even in the colder months. However the key is to add warm elements. There’s nothing worse than a cold crisp iceberg lettuce in the winter! This salad is warm with roasted vegetables, warm lentils and then a punch harissa spicy dressing. So easy to rustle up on a cold winter day. If I am going to roast vegetables then I make a large tray full to be enjoyed over the coming days.

Chilli ginger butternut squash soup

Soups are a wonderful way to pack essential nutrients into a delicious meal. One of my favourite taste combo is chilli and ginger anti teams up perfectly with all the winter root vegetables. This is a treaty soup you can happily eat on it’s own or with a nice slice of garlic grated toasted sourdough. I always add a little crunch with lots of seeds to serve. Leave out the chilli if you have young kids who don’t fancy it. Oh and that little bit of bacon, if you chose to use it, makes such a difference.

This is the perfect soup when you have leftover chicken. Often when we cook a whole chicken or some individual portions we add either another chicken or some extra portions for leftovers. This is such an easy win in meal prep as it takes no extra time and provides you with a great protein source for the next day. This curried chicken soup is a heart warming bowl of goodness that makes a heart lunch or evening meal. To make it vegetarian see notes below.

A beautiful and vibrant red salad that’s like a slaw in texture - but packs a little more nutrition. With the quinoa, edamame beans and avocado there’s plenty of protein to keep you full until the next meal. However if you are active or having a higher protein need you might want to add some halloumi or feta as well. The ginger and tahini dressing provides a delicious taste as well as providing some calcium from the tahini.

For me, a slaw, is right up there as a great salad. A red cabbage slaw with its vibrant colour is just the best. I often feature red cabbage in a salad - it provides a great crunch and helps to fill you up with the fibre - without adding many calories. This salad can be served on its own or alongside a BBQ or just some grilled chicken or salmon.
