Quick Fried Rice
This is quick and easy to pull together, and you can vary up the veg depending on what’s in the fridge/cupboards. With lots of colour it appeals to kids so it’s a good way to get some veg in them!
Mediterranean Bean Pinwheels
Add some variation to lunchboxes with these fun little pinwheels, knowing they’re packed with healthy fats and proteins. This makes one fairly light portion; if you’re feeling hungry, double it up.
Seem like too much effort for a morning? Make the mix the night before.
Salmon Ratatouille
Omega 3 packed salmon and tons of veg, all coated in a rich tomato sauce. The sweetcorn gives that bit of sweetness that kids (and adults!) love. It’s a good one for getting your fish in, even if you’re not a fan.
Raspberry & Coconut Muesli Bircher
Easily prepped the night before, this can bring some variety into your breakfasts if you’re in a bit of a rut. Packed with healthy fats and with just enough protein, it’ll keep your blood sugars managed for hours and it tastes so delicious you can serve it as dessert too (maybe halve the portions though…)!
Chickpea & Tomato Sandwich
Vegetarian sandwich fillings can be a hard to come by. This one has everything you need, especially with fresh, juicy cherry tomatoes in the summer. It can be a little dry for some tastes though, so if you like a moist filling this isn’t for you.
Tuna Nicoise Salad
Salads can often get negative press, but I love a warm salad, especially one as tasty and filling as this! It’s a little protein heavy as there’s so much protein in the beans and spinach, as well as the wheat, but you can’t have a nicoise without egg and tuna so I’ve just reduced the amounts of these compared to the normal versions…
