Healthy balanced meals

These are some of my favourite healthy balanced meals

To create healthy balanced meals you need to try and add some protein, carbohydrates, some good fats and vegetables or fruits for your vitamins and minerals.

Jacket potato

I love to have my jacket potato ( carbohydrates) with dairy free spread ( good fats) dairy free cheese and good old baked beans ( protein)…yum!

Tip: If you don’t have veggies with your meal, you could have a fruit/veggie/berry smoothie or fruit salad for desert afterwards.

• Protein • Carbohydrates • Good fats • Vegetables • Fruits

So I use a sunday dinner as a perfect example of a balanced meal and because it’s my favourite. Potatoes – ( carbohydrates) meat – ( protein) ( good fats) I love roasted potatoes and carrots…baked in olive oil….and vegetables.

I use: organic diced beef, onion Gravey, mashed potatos, carrots, cabbage and broccoli for this meal.

Half of the plate should be of vegetables, a quarter should be proteins and the other quarter carbohydrates

You also need to keep changing it up too. Do different meals every day, so you get a good variety of different foods regularly.: I make my own tomato sauce. Ingredients: Tin of tomatoes, tomato puree, onions..fried in olive oil ( good fats ) garlic, mixed herbs. ( veggies )

Pasta bolagnese

Quick, easy to make and healthy…oh and tastes delicious.

I use organic minced beef ( protein) and gluten free pasta( carbohydrates) for mine but you can use what ever you prefer. For the tomato sauce: one tin of organic tomatoes, onion ( fried in olive oil ) garlic, mixed herbs and tomato puree.

Try to include foods from the main groups

• Dairy

• Grains

• Protein

• Vegetables

• Fruits

Hot pot

Organic minced beef ( protein) onions.. fried in olive oil ( good fats) Gravey, potatoes (carbohydrates) carrots, broccoli ( veggies)

Change it to other meats like lamb or pork mince to suit you and veggies that you prefer.

Tuna salad

Tuna with mayo ( good fats ) potatoes ( carbs) with dairy free butter ( good fats ) dairy free cheese ( protein) lettuce, carrot and beetroot ( veggies )

Chicken & rice

Organic chicken ( protein) brown rice ( carbs) peppers & onions ( veggies ) fried in olive oil ( good fats )
