Deliciously juicy and sweet, poaches pears make a fantastic dessert any night of the week. Cover in a little chocolate and you’ve got a show-stopper fit for entertaining the fussiest of guests.
Quinoa is a great source of protein, iron and fibre – awesome news for vegetarians. Slightly nutty in flavour, this super seed is a fantastic low GI carb that will keep you full for hours. This dish has a nice sweet twist with the addition of some chopped dried apricots, but fresh apple, pear or orange segments would work just as well.
Beef is an excellent complete protein source that supplies amino acids to build and repair – a must for anyone who weight trains. This low-fat meal will help sustain lean muscle and keep you in great condition. Traditionally a heavy cream-based dish, this version will leave you feeling satisfied without all that unnecessary dairy.
This delicious lunch is packed with 25g of protein for fast muscle repair and long-lasting satiety. Tofu can also give a major boost to your weight-loss plan. If you’ve tried tofu before and thought it was pretty tasteless, yore not alone. Give it another try with this recipe: the dukkah adds so much flavour and the grill ensures it crisps up – delicious!
No lean protein gets more respect from me than the humble chicken breast. In addition to being a fat burning powerhouse, each breast contains approximately 27 grams of high-quality protein. These facts need no sweeteners, but drizzled in honey and I’m sold.
This smoothie tastes like a decadent dessert, but is actually surprisingly healthy. Don’t be put off my the spinach – the chocolate and mint flavours are so strong you won’t taste it – I promise! You know mint is great for the digestion, but it also stimulates the digestive enzymes that absorb nutrients from food, turning the fat we consume into usable energy – making it great for weight loss too!
These zesty little bites are fantastic post-workout, or as a snack on-the-go.
