Roasted Butternut Squash & Chilli Soup

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Packed lunch, Pesach Recipes, Soup

It’s cold, it’s dark, it’s wet, it’s AUTUMN! There are lots of PUMPKINS, SQUASHES and Autumnal vegetables around and we want something warm and filling…what better than using up all those wonderful seasonal vegetables and making a huge bowl of delicious warming soup. Add chilli and it warms you up just a little bit more!

A big bowl of this soup provides you with 100% of your RNI of Vitamin A, which we know is needed to help vision in dim light but also helps to maintain healthy tissue – epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous tissue.

Spanakopita – Spinach and Feta Filo Twirl

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Vegetarian

I hated spinach growing up…..now I love it and luckily so do my kids. This crunchy filo pastry is filled with creamy salty feta, spinach & onion, wrapped into a twirl then baked with sesame seeds on top. It’s delicious. Really easy to make and tastes delicious.

100g cooked spinach provides 201% of your RDA of Vitamin A and 617% Vitamin K. They are both fat soluble vitamins so the feta and olive oil will aid the absorption of these vitamins too.

Vegan Poke Bowl

by Judianne on in Packed lunch, Vegan

Looking for healthy vegan lunchbox recipes? Bit specific that isn’t it?! This poke bowl is made with sushi rice, avocado, cucumber, spring onion, sesame seeds and shelled edamame beans. Served with a sachet of pickled ginger and soy sauce. Personally I’d have added some sweetcorn, pepper or tomato for colour but my son didn’t fancy it.

Egg Fried Rice

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Fakeaway, Pesach Recipes, Vegetarian

This is one of my kids’ favourite dishes. I make it with brown basmati rice and lots of different colourful vegetables to really boost their fibre intake. You can add mushrooms, pepper, edamame etc…whatever veggies you like.

We are recommended to eat 30g fibre per day and most people in the UK average about 15g, so this is a good way to boost that fibre intake.

Packed Lunch Ideas

Would you like some Healthy Packed Lunch Ideas?

I want my kids to have a healthy lunch. I want to make them food they will eat and will want to eat (no waste) They need variety, leakproof lunchboxes and of course they like different foods 🙈
Our school is meat free and nut free and my son would prefer plant based foods. Easy right??? 😱😱😱
.
So I have created a list of different ideas from wraps, pittas, sandwiches, soups, salads, pastas, dips, fruit, veggies and snacks.
.
It’s here to print below – if you’d find it helpful. A number of the recipes on the list are available here on my website too.
.
I would recommend getting a wide Thermos, a spork and leakproof containers. I use @igluumealprep ones.

If you find it helpful please could you let me know 🙏🏻

Is it a breakfast, a dessert or a snack? Definitely works for all 3.

I love it served with a spoon of Greek Yoghurt. Delicious and nutritious.

Salmon Ramen

by Judianne on in Fakeaway, Fish, Soup

A big bowl of soup can be really comforting and warming but doesn’t always fill you up for long. This bowl of Ramen contains protein from the fish which leaves you feeling fuller for longer.

You can make it with Ramen noodles or courgetti if you prefer.

You can swap the salmon for chicken breasts/thighs or tofu to make it to suit your needs.

Eating a wide range of vegetables increases the nutritional value of your meal. This dish contains at least 3 different vegetables and you can add more if you like.

Kale, Walnut and Apple Salad

I struggled to choose the best name….either way… these are all the delicious, nutritious ingredients. This salad, whatever you choose to call it is really easy to make and a delicious way to eat your Kale.
100g raw kale provides 206% of your RNI of Vitamin A, 134 % Vitamin C and a whopping 684% of your Vitamin K and that’s before you get into the health benefits of your walnuts, olive oil and quinoa. Enjoy!
