SO WHAT DO I EAT for lunch, especially when on the move? As you can see, lunch took place on the train as I had a back to back day and needed to get to a hospital appointment with my parents. Whilst I love visiting London’s eateries, I’m also very conscious about eating enough/ plenty of different vegetables and protein day to day so you’ll often see me carrying my trusty @blackblumdesign lunchbox. *** I also hate food waste and now very careful about energy usage too. So whenever I heat up the oven to cook or bake something, I also chop up a load of vegetables and roast these up. Yesterday, this included some slightly soft carrots, an aubergine, pepper and small purple cauliflower. Along with dandelion greens and @sky_sprouts broccoli sprouts, these were the base of supper last night along with harissa chicken thighs. I varied the fresh herbs in each meal and the dressing to change things up - today was a cumin and harissa dressing whilst last night was a tahini yogurt dressing. It’s not fancy, but it was super tasty and packed with nutrients including at least 3 portions of vegetables including one of cruciferous/ dark leafy greens! *** Honestly, my top tip for healthy quick meals is always having vegetables prepared in the fridge - sliced, roasted, blanched etc and a couple of dressings and lots of fresh herbs. Herbs are packed with polyphenols and powerful antioxidants plus can pep up the most boring of meals! When you eat this way, you can easily reach the required 30 different plant based foods a week which you require for your gut health. @zoe project helps you to increase your diversity to support a gut microbiota of beneficial organisms! @tim.spector shares why this Is important for your health and @dr_jenna_macciochi about how this supports your immune health.
