Healthy meal prep recipes

Make a meal in advance

All you need is sweet potatoes, onions, chickpeas, a can of tomatoes and some greens.

In the UK I find kale to be quite tough and chewy, needing a lot more than three minutes cooking. If you agree, try savoy cabbage or spring greens (collards) instead.

If you’re out and about you will probably want to eat this with some bread and butter, or a gluten free option like corn cakes. If you're at home, try making it into a wrap with one of my easy buckwheat crepes.

Here’s a chef with some more meal prep ideas

Meal prep: Home-made “pot noodle”

For veggies I would use spring onions plus coarsely-grated carrots, butternut squash, beets or broccoli stems. Some experimenting may be required. With all the other ingredients, I wonder if the water may not be hot enough to soften the noodles completely?

Spring onion rice crackers

Potato “pizza”
