SWAP IT!
Have a look at your ingredient list for the day and see which favourites could be exchanged for something wholesome, organic, and meat-free.
STORE CUPBOARD
Start by stocking up with the kind of staples that will pack the cupboard with great alternatives to meat, dairy and processed foods. With a range of herbs and spices, lentils, tinned and dried beans, tinned tomatoes, couscous as well as pasta, rice, oils and sauces, there will be a selection of ingredients on hand that you can bank on for healthy, filling meals.
HEALTHY SNACKS
The sweetest biscuit can be replaced by nuts, dried fruit and peanut butter spread on an apple and provide the kind of energy boost that will see off that afternoon slump.
THE BIG FREEZE
It’s easy to grab something fast and unhealthy when you’re busy. Freezing homemade sauces for the days you know will be your toughest really helps.
HELLO TOFU
The soft white blocks can be chopped and pan-fried, grilled, skewered, stir-fried, and used in soups. This fantastic soybean curd staple can be bought to be refrigerated or, if silken, can keep for months in the cupboard. And it can hold its own in the protein stakes making it a useful plant-based alternative to meat.
SMOOTHIE OPERATOR
There is no end to the variety and delight of making a delicious smoothie. Matcha powder and flaxseeds alongside fresh fruit can provide a great start to the day.
