Healthy chili fries/4 recipes

These healthy and delicious turkey lettuce boats are quick and easy to make and full of so much flavour. They make a great appetiser for when you’re cooking for friends and family or an equally satisfying lunch. They’re delicious, light and a great low carbohydrate recipe.

Slow cookers are so great for those times when you want a fuss-free dinner, you can literally throw everything in it and leave it all day so you have a lovely wholesome meal waiting for you at tea time.

Hope you like it

For a smooth start to your day try this banana and coconut smoothie. If you love thick and creamy smoothies, then this one will go down a treat. It’s really healthy too and is full of potassium, fibre, vitamin c, magnesium and folate. We’ve used coconut cream in this recipe, which is the cream from the top of a can of full fat coconut milk that has been left refrigerated.

Here’s another healthy and delicious recipe that we’ve developed for Fertility Road magazine. This simple frittata recipe is jam packed with nutrition and contains so many nutrients, which are important for conception. Eggs are such a great source of protein and iron (which are both really important nutrients for fertility). In addition they are also a fantastic source of vitamin D. Women who struggle with fertility often suffer from a deficiency in vitamin D. Broccoli is a good source of vitamin C, folate, calcium, iron, zinc and fibre. Vitamin C is particularly important for improving sperm quality in men and it also helps reduce the chance of miscarriage and chromosomal problems for women. Salmon is another great protein source and is rich in so many nutrients but particularly omega-3 fatty acids, which are proven to regulate blood flow to the reproductive organs.

This delicious strawberry frappe recipe is healthy, full of nutrition and tastes divine. We’ve used frozen bananas for this recipe as it makes the drink nice and cold, but if you don’t have time to freeze, there’s no need, just refrigerate the smoothie for a short while before serving. This recipe is high in potassium, fibre, vitamin C, vitamin B, magnesium and folate and has only 132 calories per serving – what are you waiting for?

If you fancy a taste of tropical paradise, then this delicious, healthy and nutritious drink is for you. We’ve made it with frozen fruit so it tastes ice cold, but if you don’t have the time to freeze, it’s fine not to.

Rice paper is a healthy low calorie option in comparison to other wheat based products. This delicate translucent dumpling allows the diner to see the colourful nutritious vegetables which are bursting with vitamins. Another serving option is to create a rice wrap by leaving the one end open allowing the vegetables to cascade on to the plate creating a delicious display.

A quick and easy to make colourful display of goodness, a perfect light dessert for anytime. If you include kiwis, mangoes, strawberries and oranges you would be consuming vitamins A, C, and E, also fibre, potassium, magnesium, folate and lutein. This is one delicious way of getting most of your recommended daily quota of fruit, giving you a really healthy boost.

This choco-avocado mousse is rich, smooth and delicious, the perfect after dinner and guilt-free treat. The blend of healthy ingredients leaves you satiated and nourished, without the worry of putting on any weight. Don’t worry about being able to taste the avocado, because when you blend it with the other ingredients, it actually enhances the creamy texture without leaving a prominent avocado flavour. It’s not exactly the same as a classic mousse, but it’s not far off and it’s much healthier.

We’ve made this vegan version of a very popular British dish for British Food Fortnight, but of course, it’s tasty all year round. Kidney beans are high in both protein, fibre and slow-release carbs which keep blood sugar levels from spiking. Some other bean benefits are vitamin K1 – important for blood coagulation, folate – more commonly known as folic acid which is important during pregnancy – you could say – healthy eggs for healthy eggs!

You can keep fit and healthy running after real tennis balls, and also, with our nutritious edible version. Eggs contain an essential nutrient that is gaining a resurgence in the nutrition world, the nutrient is called Choline. Scientists in the mid 1800’s discovered that the molecule, Choline, in the yolk of eggs was exactly the same as a substance, ‘Neurine’, in our brain. Choline plays a key role in human cell health, nervous system activity and development, liver function, early growth and development (it is important for pregnant women to eat choline-rich foods). Spinach is rich in iron, this is important for red blood cells which help in the transportation of oxygen around the body – essential for all that running around. Take advantage, serve and then, love all!

We love finding inventive ways of turning bad food into delicious and nutritious recipes and this fantastic crisp recipe is super healthy, really easy to make, inexpensive and tastes totally divine.

These delicious veggie rolls are a taste sensation, made from pan fried aubergine/eggplant slices and filled with tasty vegetables and quinoa – this is a super easy vegetarian recipe that makes the perfect healthy lunch or starter.

These healthy smoked salmon rolls, stuffed with mashed avocado are a perfect party appetizer. You can even make them the day before and leave them in the fridge until your guests arrive.

These mouth-watering quiches make such a delicious snack. We’ve made the base out of almonds and gluten free oats and the filling is eggs, sun dried tomatoes, kale and red onion with a dash of nutritional yeast. Traditional quiche is not usually a healthy option as it generally contains quite a lot of cream cheese. For this nutritious alternative we’ve substituted cream cheese for skimmed milk and used nutritional yeast to give the cheesy flavour. We’ve also used a mix of whole eggs and egg whites to help manage cholesterol levels. You can choose any fillings you like instead of the sun dried tomatoes, kale and red onion. Hope you enjoy!
