Sweetened with just bananas and a little honey, this granola tastes amazing with yoghurt/kefir and some fresh berries. The nuts and seeds provide lots of lovely fats, protein and fibre alongside the complex carbs from the oats to help keep you feeling fuller for longer.

BAKED EGG LOAF

You can use up any left over veggies you have lying around to make this. I prefer making this in a loaf tin but you can also make them into muffins. Simply divide the mixture into muffin cases instead. A great recipe for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

RHUBARB, GINGER & ORANGE COMPOTE

I love the colours in this recipe and it always reminds me of the start of summer. Rhubarb can be quite tart so feel free to add more maple/honey if you like your compotes quite sweet. This could be a great breakfast, dessert or snack addition and feel free to experiment with different flavours or toppings too!

ROASTED ANCHOVY BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Brussels sprouts are part of the cruciferous vegetable family and are a great source of fibre and micronutrients including vitamin C & K. Anchovies are a rich source of protein, omega 3 fatty acids and micronutrients including calcium and zinc. When roasted, they crisp up and effectively disintegrate, adding a wonderful salty taste to the sprouts which surprisingly isn’t too ‘fishy’.

MISO ROASTED SQUASH WITH CAVOLO NERO AND PEARLED SPELT

This is an adaptation of an Anna Jones recipe with a few additions to make it an even more nutritious and balanced meal. Wholegrains are a rich source of fibre (as well as nutrients) and feta adds a little more protein and saltiness which complements the sweetness of the miso perfectly.

APPLE, PEAR AND GINGER COMPOTE

My aunt and uncle dropped round some homegrown apples which I immediately made into a compote with pear and grated ginger to add to my breakfasts. I would recommend keeping the skins on for the extra fibre and feel free to incorporate other fruits/spices for added variety. Some people find fruit easier to digest when cooked and ginger has a wonderfully soothing effect on the digestive system.
