Let's be honest, eating well in the winter months can be hard - we all crave the warm, comforting and often fat filled foods, but they don't help our energy levels or mental state..
Eating well is even more important during the long dark days, as it can hlpe boost your body's natural immune system which can help in the fight against all those pesky colds and viruses (of which there are many this year).
The recommendation these days is to try to get 30 different plants into you each week, which is far easier than it sounds as this includes fruit, veg, nuts, beans, spices, herbs, grains, seeds and all the normal fruit and veg. This mix can really support your immune system.
Fresh, dried and frozen fruit and vegetables are all good to eat and, if you can, a handful of mixed nuts are a filling alternative when you're craving that afternoon biscuit.
Help reduce waste and make your life easier on the busy days by batch cooking health meals and freezing them. This saves you diving into the fridge for ultra processed foods and allows you all to enjoy home cooked goodness.
