Speedy glow wellness bowls with sticky peanut carrot slaw

This quick, easy rice-bowl meal is packed full of nutrition and ready in 15 minutes. It keeps really well and is perfect for lunch the next day. High in skin-supporting fats and vitamins C and E, the bowl is designed to support a dish from the inside out. Make it plant-based by simply swapping the fish for tofu.

Prawn saganaki orzo

Prawn saganaki is one of my favourite things to eat in Greece. This is my hybrid of those flavours but in a one-pot orzo form. It makes great meal prep and heats up really well, too. If you don’t like prawns, substitute them for any protein you like.

Simple super greens pasta

This is one of those recipes that packs in all the goodness in my favourite form - a big bowl of pasta. It has the silkiest, most vibrant green sauce with lots of fresh basil, parmesan, kale, protein-packed peas and, of course, garlic. If you like, serve with extra protein, such as two grilled fish fillets.

Smoky Mexican white bean chilli

This Mexican white bean chilli is one of my new favourite meals to eat when I want to sit down with a big bowl of something comforting. It’s smoky, creamy, packed full of nutrition and everything you want to eat. Simply sauté it all in a big pot until bubbling and gorgeous, add in a dollop of sour cream and serve with coriander, avocado, feta and lots of lime.

Spicy chicken crunch bagels

One of my most popular lunch recipes, these chicken crunch bagels have become a staple for many and I can totally understand why. Not only are they delicious, they’re also packed full of protein, fibre and energising nutrition, and are ready in under 10 minutes.

Chopped waldorf salad

Anyone who thinks salads are dull needs to try this; it’s a perfect combination of creamy, tangy, crunchy, sweet and salty. The salad base contains fresh apple, celery and smashed cucumber, which cling to the gorgeous dressing. The latter, made with blue cheese, honey, yogurt, mustard and lemon, brings everything together beautifully. Toss with toasted walnuts and add your choice of protein, such as 200g shredded roast chicken.

Fluffy cinnamon protein French toast

This is a healthier take on a classic and perfect for a sweet start to the day. It has an antioxidant-rich compote and a protein-boosted custard. High in fibre and protein, it will keep you balanced, energised and ready for the day.

Mango upside-down cake with almond, yogurt and miso caramel

This upside-down cake is a showstopper dessert that combines the sweetness of fresh mangos with a rich miso caramel glaze. The almond and yogurt cake batter ensures a moist and tender crumb, while the optional Greek yogurt to serve adds a boost of protein. Perfect for any special occasion.
