Not only are lentils good for you, they’re also incredibly versatile and dirt cheap. Lentil wraps are an easy-to-make healthy lunch that won’t leave you suffering from hunger pangs. There are several variations to try as well. (Seriously: just Google “lentil wrap recipe”.)
The vegetarian alternative to the beloved BLT. The health benefits of avocados are well-known at this stage, so why not give it a go? (Stick a rasher in if you’re feeling cheeky.)
A delicious vegan alternative to tuna sandwiches. Just take chickpeas and mash them with celery, onion, pickle and mayonnaise, et voilà. You’ve got a delicious sandwich/salad ingredient.
As well as packed with loads of good stuff, minestrone soup provides nourishment for the soul, particularly at this time of year.
Not only is it relatively easy to make, it also keeps for ages meaning you can just refill your tupperware soup container every morning and head merrily off to work. Sorted.
Just think of it as a lovely alternative to the chicken roll. Can be served with any amount of vegetables, but more importantly loads and loads of hummus.
We know you’re sick to death of hearing about kale and quinoa, but there’s a reason people big both foods up. This salad combines the two, as well as pine nuts and goat’s cheese. (We think it might make you a better person, too.)
This salad is amazingly simple to make. All you need is a roast chicken (hello, Tesco), peas, pesto and natural yoghurt. Mix it all up together and you’re sorted for a few days anyway. Also goes nicely on crackers, Ryvita, etc.
