Superfood menu plan
Eating well doesn't mean going without - it's all about balance. You can meet your nutritional needs whilst still enjoying hearty, wholesome food packed with flavor, plus indulging in treats here and there. Keep it simple with easy grab-and-go snacks like crunchy baked chickpeas, lemon spiced almonds and super-healthy banana, apricot and date oat bars, plus think outside the box at lunchtime with fabulous 'rawkin' sushi rolls. Imagine a day where you can pack in 5 different superfoods whilst enjoying pancakes, fajitas and creamy chocolate mousse - now that's a balanced diet you can stick to!
