We’ve selected some for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, that are simple to make, great for if you’re on the go, or want an easy family meal.

Hope you enjoy them.

Breakfast:

Need a quick breakfast for on-the-go? Then these overnight oats are perfect. Prepare them the night before and leave them to work their magic in the fridge. Add whatever fruit or flavour fat-free yoghurt you want for a bit of variety.

Lunch:

Here’s a really simple egg salad recipe, that you can eat in a lettuce cup, on toast, or in a wrap.

Or perhaps a vegan mushroom stew with coconut from HurryTheFoodUp served on a bed of extra spinach and brown rice.
