When we’re tired or pressed for time, it’s all too easy to grab whatever is closest in the cupboard – even if we know it won’t actually fuel us. But with a little bit of “future-you” organisation, you can have satisfying, nutrient-dense options ready to go in minutes.
Sweet and delicate crab is a taste of spring. Here are five dishes perfect for lighter, sunnier days
With the days still warm, I love cold noodles, whether ramen, soba or these thin Japanese wheat noodles called somen.

Cooked prawns or tofu are a good substitute for the po…

The sweetness of hoisin sauce is balanced with a kick of chilli in this simple stir-fry.
Tangy, vibrant and loaded with between 40 and 42 grams of protein per serve, this Mexican-style salad is the ultimate lunch hack. It’s easy to prep, keeps its crunch, and tastes just as good on day three as it does on day one.

This wonderfully fragrant dish was inspired by a favourite recipe from food writer Karen Martini. I’ve added a quick and flavourful cous cous to sit alongside it. The combination of lean chicken, spices and fibre-rich legumes and grains supports balanced blood sugar while adding slow-releasing energy.
Simple, fresh and colourful, this dip is perfect for balanced, health-conscious snacking and entertaining. It’s filled with low-GI ingredients that offer slow-releasing energy and fibre, while antioxidant-rich pomegranate and lemon add zing.
