Tamari Salmon and Vegetable Stir Fry with Peanut Dressing

Tamari Salmon and Vegetable Stir Fry with Peanut Dressing

Stir fry is a go-to recommendation for my clients who have limited time and need to get more plants in their diet. This recipe, combined with super nutritious, omega-3-rich wild salmon, is a force of nutrients to be reckoned with (that is ready in 20 minutes). Don’t worry if you don’t have all the exact ingredients – another great thing about stir fry is that you can put just about any vegetable in it and it will taste great. All I ask is that you include at least 5 different varieties. I also recommend including the bean sprouts, as in this recipe, they substitute what would have been noodles.

Scrambled Tofu

I appreciate that there are many of you out there who don’t eat eggs for whatever reason, and you need an alternative. Ideally you still want to be aiming for that balanced breakfast with complete protein, beneficial fat and vegetables if you can. So, why not try scrambled tofu?I know what you may be thinking - tofu tastes like nothing. Well, that’s why you need this simple recipe to bring it to life. This dish is so delicious that even if you’re an avid egg fan, you may still want to try this to shake things up a bit.

Hazelnut Twix Bars

Hazelnut Vegan Homemade Twix Bars that taste as good as they look and sound. These are dairy-free, gluten-free and refined-sugar-free! When it comes to sweet treats like this, I’m always going to be an advocate of balance and not making them a routine thing. I also recommend enjoying these straight after a savoury meal with plenty of protein in, as they will be digested with that meal and this will help to reduce any spike in blood sugar levels afterwards. There are still multiple health benefits to the natural ingredients in these so I will always recommend homemade over shop-bought processed foods.

Prawn and Tempeh Red Curry

Thai curry has got to be one of my favourite foods. Although, perhaps this is unusual, but I always prefer my homemade curries to takeaways or anything that has come from a packet. You really don’t need a paste if you have enough of the herbs and spices in your store cupboard. This particular dish has aromatic flavours, a good level of spice, a coconut base and a bit of peanut butter thrown in for good measure. I’ve combined two types of protein - prawns and tempeh - but you could do one or the other, or something different!

Avocado Chocolate Mousse

I’ve experimented with a few avocado chocolate mousse recipes, and some taste a lot better than others. I think I’ve landed on the best here (in my humble opinion). It’s been tried and tested on non-believers, this dreamy dessert is akin to a Gü chocolate pot. This dessert is certainly not for everyday consumption, but it makes a wonderfully indulgent (yet relatively healthy) end to a dinner party or date night.
