Pre-prepared shopping list to save you time
Whether you are without a kitchen, time short or simply don’t feel like cooking, you can still enjoy healthy, nutritious meals with our no-cook meal plan.
A few savvy buys will help deliver delicious, balanced meals including our lentil and tuna salad – using canned fish, ready-to-use lentils, salad veg and storecupboard staples, you’ll have a tasty meal in just 15 minutes. Our no-cook veggie fajitas combine deli counter items with canned and fresh ingredients making these fajitas a taste sensation. That’s not all – by using a clever combo of ingredients we’ve optimised the nutritional contribution of this dish. Avocado is one of the few salad foods that is rich in heart-friendly fats and, when combined with tomatoes, helps us absorb more of the protective, fat-soluble nutrients.
If you thought no cook meant no flavour then you’d be wrong – our ham, cheese and pear salad combines the juicy sweetness of pears with the salty, savouriness of ham while delivering a salad rich in folate, vitamin C and calcium.
UK guidelines suggest we eat two portions of fish per week, with at least one being a fatty variety. Canned tuna doesn’t count as a fatty fish but mackerel and salmon do – fatty fish are a valuable source of heart-healthy omega-3 fats, as well as a useful source of vitamin D. In the UK about one in five of us have low levels of this vitamin and with few food sources it makes our peppered mackerel and pink pickled onion salad a valuable addition.
Plus, we’ve made the most of weekend leftovers or shown you how to optimise the use of a shop-bought rotisserie chicken with our sweet and salty chicken, mango and noodle salad, our mango chutney and chicken sliders or our bang bang chicken cups.
