Fibre makes you feel full and there is plenty of fibre here. The Asian inspired dressing tastes great and has a bit of a spicy zip to keep things interesting.

Dinner

crispy vegan, gluten free quinoa cakes
Quinoa Cakes with Red Pepper Sauce

We have been making quinoa cakes for many years. They’re perfect for dinner and a great potluck dish. They travel well! The red pepper sauce is so simple and flavourful we think you’ll find many other dishes to pair it with.

Snacks & Desserts

healthy 4 ingredient cookies
Healthy Four Ingredient Cookies

These cookies are both a dessert and a snack, and a breakfast food too. With just four ingredients they’re simple and quick to make and will have even the picky eaters asking for another.

The shopping list is broken down by meal for ease of use. We try to include recipes that use the same ingredients more than once so that you don’t end up with food waste. Because of this you’ll see that if an ingredient in the breakfast recipe is also in the dinner recipe it is only listed once. Let us know if you like this way of laying out the shopping list or if you have a better suggestion.
