Making healthy meals

Choosing a healthy recipe or adapting a family favourite meal to a healthy meal can be achieved with some simple strategies e,g. make room for vegetables, healthy cooking methods (not fat or fried) and select the right ingredients.

Take a balanced approach

Half plate of vegetable or salad
Pick a protein same size as your palm - wild-caught fish, chicken, beans and lentils, egg or tofu
Choose a lower GI carbohydrate — sweet potato, vegetable pasta, quinoa or brown basmati rice
Add a splash of healthy fat and vitamin C — Drizzle olive oil and lemon on the vegetables or salad
Add pure sea salt and pepper for seasoning, with herbs and spices (they can be put in while cooking)
