Avocado and Mango Smoothie

Green smoothies look alien but taste amazing as well as being really good for you. 

Blend 1/2 an avocado 
1/2 a mango 
A handful of spinach 
1/4 of a cucumber 
A sprinkle of chia seeds 
A splash of Apple juice 



This green smoothie is made sweet with the mango and the avocado gives it a nutty taste and creamy texture. 

Chili Con Veggie

One of my best friends is a veggie so although I'm a massive meat eater I've eaten my fair share of veggie meals over the years. 

For the chili con veggie
Dice one pepper, one courgette, an onion and mushrooms and fry in a little chili oil with garlic and herbs and extra chili if you like it hot. Once sweated add in some Quorn mince and continue to cook for a few minutes. 
Add a tin of tomatoes and a squirt of tomato purée, I also add a splash of soy sauce for flavour. 
Add in a tin of kidney beans or mixed beans and let simmer for 20-30 minutes. 

Serve with salad and or brown rice and a dollop of yogurt to garnish. 


If you aren't a fan of Quorn just add in extra veggies and beans.

Get Greek


Minted Lamb Kebabs with homemade tzatziki 


For the kebabs mix together minced lamb with spring onions, mint and an egg to bind. Mould over kebab skewers and cook in the oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. 

Tzatziki is easier to make than spell, simply mix Greek yogurt with diced cucumber, spring onions and mint leaves. 
Serve with the lamb kebabs over a bed of spinach and a squeeze of lime for a quick and healthy dinner.

Porridge

5 reasons to eat porridge 

  1. It helps concentration as it is slow releasing 
  2. Being a complex carb it helps to boost energy
  3. If dieting it keeps you fuller for longer and is also naturally low in sugar and fat 
  4. It's good for hangovers! It neutralizes acid levels and helps to absorb toxins 
  5. Boosts libido...by re-balancing the testosterone and oestrogen in the body.  

Add some fruit or nuts for extra flavour or if you have a sweet tooth add a spoonful of honey.
