Looking for a delicious recipe to help you include more plant-based protein? These Red Thai Curry-style Butter Beans are one of my favourites! Not only is this recipe delicious, but its also jam-packed with nutrition. Beans are an excellent source of fibre to help digestion and keep you feeling full for longer. They also pack a plant-based protein punch and an array of micronutrients, including iron, potassium, magnesium, and folate, all of which contribute to overall well-being.
On hot summer days, the last thing I want to do is turn on my stove. One of my favourite summertime meals is a crisp and refreshing sandwich that requires little prep and no stove. A sandwich is also a great way to ensure you are having a balanced meal - whole grain carbohydrates, lean protein and loaded with veggies for fibre. This sandwich uses leftover rotisserie chicken as the protein source - one of my summertime staples for quick, nutritious and delicious meals. Loaded with your favourite veggies, this sandwich can be customized to your preferences and enjoyed year-round!
Looking for a fresh and delicious recipe to bring in the summer? This Mediterranean Power Bowl features vibrant colours, delicious flavours and nutrient-rich ingredients! This power bowl combines brown rice, chicken, our Crispy Lentil Fritters, your favourite Greek salad veggies and a delicious Creamy Dill Sauce for a delicious and nutritious recipe that is sure to keep you feeling satisfied.
These crispy lentil fritters are a quick and delicious way to include more plant-based protein in your diet, without things feeling too repetitive. Not only can these be used in so many different ways, they are also extremely nutritious! Lentils are super high in fibre, plant-based protein, micronutrients, such as iron, and plant compounds called phytochemicals that are found to lower your risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Substitute meat for these crispy fritters in any recipe - salads, wraps, sandwiches or even just with your favourite whole grain and vegetable!
Looking for new take on a classic comfort dish recipe? Fusion recipes are a great way to change up your usual meal rotations.

One of my favourite modifications for this recipe is to use half ground turkey and half canned black beans for an extra plant-based protein punch to help you stay full and satisfied for longer!
