Its finally starting to come into Spring! Yey. And that means for me a want to be a bit more healthy and try new things. There is something about a bit more sun and the idea that all is going to be ok. Also we have a holiday coming up in June and we all want to be a bit more toned and healthy for that - if only so we can eat what we are like when we get there! ha ha.
So this month I have been looking at meal prep videos and seeing how people eat on a budget so that I can have healthy living without spending too much.
First up, is this Salmon Sushi Salad which a friend sent me from the Good Food Magazine, also on the website. I love this kind of food and it seems so simple for me to be able to pack it all up for lunches at work. Just a bit of planning on a Sunday night I think.
Next is this Not Quite Banana Bread, a few of my friends are currently working their way through Sarah Wilson's, I Quit Sugar book and this recipe looks like a good alternative for a treat. I love banana bread and as is dairy free too, seems like a good choice for us all.
Bottom left of the pictures, is a bit of a sinful treat in this Rhubarb baked Oatmeal and I can't quite work out what appeals for me most as I am not a big fan of Rhubarb, but I want to try more fruits, so this seemed like a good place to start. A bit more sinful than the last cake but it looks so good.
Last, but by no means least is this Cauliflower Coconut & Chickpea Curry, all the C's. I love a good curry and this seems too good to miss. I have been loving the Mind over Munch website too, so many good ideas for lunches and planning meals.
I am definitely in the meal planning zone at the moment as it saves so much time and money. For little old me on my own too, its a great way to have a variety and not resorting to bad foods or takeaways.
Do you meal plan? What are your tips? I am loving to freeze a portion of everything I make too, so that I can always have it another time, when I am not in the mood to cook.
