HEALTHY nutritious meals all the family will enjoy are always a favourite. So we fired up the Slimpod Kitchen and with the help of our masterchef Charlotte we’ve come up with six ideas you might find useful. If you like them, do let us know by leaving a comment below. Or maybe you’ve got some inspiration you’d like to share. We’d love to hear from you.
Steamed Salmon
Why not enjoy steamed wild salmon with a side of oven-roasted asparagus, seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice and fresh dill or garlic? Add a 1 cup serving of a whole grain, like brown rice, lentils or a whole grain roll. If you prefer, you could replace the salmon with cod, scallops, prawns or chicken.
Steak and vegetables
You can also eat a grilled lean steak with a side of steamed vegetables and quinoa or brown rice. Roasted sweet potatoes and black beans make great side dishes as well.
Turkey with garlic mushrooms
A grilled turkey breast with a side of mushrooms grilled with fresh butter and garlic.
Pepper and couscous
This pepper has been filled with couscous, carrot, onions and pancetta. What a lovely idea for healthy nutritious meals for lunch, dinner or a snack.
Oriental salmon parcels
Take one salmon fillet per person Wrap in foil with some sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice and ginger. Cook in a medium oven for 20 minutes. Serve on a bed of rice, or with some salad.
Home-made peanut butter
Make your own peanut butter without additives or added sugar. Chop up 2 cups of raw or roasted peanuts in a food processor, then slowly blend in 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of vegetable or canola oil until you get the consistency you desire, either smooth or chunky.
Sicilian pesto dip
You’ll need basil, parsley, 2 or 3 tomatoes, 1 stick celery, garlic to taste, pine nuts, olive oil. Combine ingredients and blitz in a blender. Delicious and perfect with any healthy nutritious meals!
