Cook Once, Eat Twice: Simple and Healthy Meals
JAMES COLQUHOUN
One of the goals of our upcoming Total Wellness Summit is to make healthy food easy and taste good. It’s something we can all benefit from in daily life; so we’ve been taking some of the incredible knowledge from the summit speakers and trying to incorporate it into our plates. These simple and healthy meals allow you to cook once and eat twice - all while eating the yummiest, most nourishing foods.
1. Roast Pumpkin & Beetroot Quinoa Salad with Basil Pesto
You've heard all about the health benefits of beetroot, but how can you start to get more of it on your plate? This simple salad is a must for any season or reason, and it's the perfect way to boost the family's daily vegetable intake.
2. Sticky Ginger Tempeh Bowl
Getting adequate protein is something that we all need to be mindful of, plant-based or not, and this delicious bowl makes it so easy! It's one for the whole family to enjoy and even goes great for lunch the next day.
3. Naked Nachos
Nachos are notorious for being a decadent, cheesy meal, easy to make but often leaving you feeling like you need an hour nap after eating them. For us, nachos are all about the flavor in the toppings and a plant-based version like these naked nachos are packed with ingredients that also pack a nutritional punch.
4. Rice Paper Rolls with Tamari Dipping Sauce
Simple, summery rolls are a staple for any day of the week. Whether it's a shared lunch for close friends or a meal put together after a long day at work, a few vegetables and this delightful dipping sauce are all you need.
5. Clean Fish & Chips
Here on the Sunshine Coast, nothing says a late summer evening like fish and chips on the beach. This go-to recipe is my favorite way to make the most of the freshly caught fish, without the nasties of a commercial deep fryer. If you've been looking for a new way to healthify this family-friendly classic, discover our must-try method for the best clean fish & chips you'll ever taste.
