Meals in a flash
We all have nights when we haven’t been shopping, the kids are screaming and everyone is hungry. So before you grab your keys and head to the local chippy here are some ideas. They are not rocket science but they make great meals with all the elements of a good workout meal.
Omlettes – eg. cheese, mushroom, tomato and onion, cheese and onion. Fill half the plate with salad such as tomato, spinach and avocado. Two slices of wholemeal bread on the side.
Boiled eggs – These are simple to make. Two slices of bread lightly spread with real butter on the side with some spinach and avocado
Beans on toast with a fried egg (olive oil for frying) or better still scrambled eggs.
Poached eggs with vegetable stir fry. Mushrooms, onion, peppers and spinach stir fried with a little Olive Oil and a splash of Soy Sauce. Add two slices of wholemeal bread very lightly spread with real butter.
Baked potatoes – Wash the potatoes and prick all over. Place on a 1microwavable plate and for four large potatoes give them 10 mins in the microwave on full power. Please check them at this point as they may need more or less with your particular
microwave.
Fillings for the potatoes –
Tuna and sweetcorn with a teaspoon of low fat mayonnaise.
Cheese and beans
Prawns and lighter mayo but not swimming in it
Stir fried vegetables with half a tin of tomatoes, cheddar cheese grated on top.
Again add a salad to the plate for a balanced, healthy meal.
