MAPLE BANANA & PECAN EGG WHITE OATS I've never been a fan of nutritionists who demonise perfectly normal foods. Like, why are oats so controversial? When I am having a bowl this is how I like to do it. I love jumbo oats for their slower digestion, and my little trick of stirring in egg whites makes the creamiest, fluffiest porridge with a lovely boost of protein. Serves 1 390kcal & 30g protein 35g jumbo oats 100ml semi-skimmed milk 75ml water 100ml cartoned egg whites Pinch of salt ½ small banana, sliced 1 tsp maple syrup 3 pecan halves To serve 100g Greek yoghurt Optional: nut butter to finish Add the oats, milk, water and a pinch of salt to a small saucepan. Simmer gently for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats have softened and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Turn the heat right down and gradually stir in the egg whites, mixing continuously for 2–3 minutes until fully cooked, thick and creamy. Add a splash of milk only if needed. Meanwhile, melt a little butter and maple syrup in a small frying pan. Add the halved banana and pecans, cooking for 2–3 minutes until golden and caramelised. Spoon the oats into a bowl, add a generous dollop of thick Greek yoghurt and top with the warm maple banana and pecans. Finish with a little nut butter if you fancy. #nutrition #healthymeals

What I eat in a day as a nutritionist As always, let me know which recipes you want to see on the feed because there are some GOOD ones in this one. Breakfast was caramelised banana egg white oats. Such an easy way to get some extra protein into porridge and the egg whites make them so creamy too. Finished with the M&S cashew nut butter iykyk. Lunch was creamy roasted butternut squash and tomato soup with a honey feta cottage cheese toastie. Soup season is officially here and I’m VERY happy about it. I blend cottage cheese into the soup for extra protein and creaminess, and obviously soup needs a toastie. This one is also perfect for making a big batch and freezing. Then dinner was my leek tortellini bake. Such an easy midweek dinner, we inhaled this. Food I actually really want to eat. My kind of day. Which recipe first? #whatieatinaday

This is my go to nutrition coded bolognese when I want something comforting but super nourishing. It is rich, slow cooked & properly satisfying, packed with fibre and protein thanks to the lentils and all the veg. It is also a great way to make mince go further without anyone noticing, which makes it perfect for batch cooking, feeding friends or filling the freezer! You will need to serve 6 215 kcal. 8g fibre. 25 g protein per serving 500 g 5% beef mince (or mince of choice) 1 white onion, finely diced 1 leek, finely chopped 2 sticks celery, finely diced 2 carrots, finely diced 1 courgette, finely grated 300 g chestnut mushrooms, finely diced Fresh thyme leaves 75 ml red wine (optional) 100 g dry green or red lentils, (if you want to reduce 💨 soak overnight!) 400g passata 1 tin chopped tomatoes (I love mutti!) 2 tbsp tbsp tomato purée 1 beef stock cube 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp finely chopped rosemary Finely chop all of the vegetables. A food processor works well here if you want to save time. Heat a large pan over a medium heat with a little olive oil. Add the vegetables with a generous pinch of salt and cook for 10–15 minutes until softened, coloured and lightly golden. Add the mince, thyme, rosemary, oregano and tomato purée. Cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking up the mince and allowing it to brown properly. Season with black pepper. If using, pour in the red wine and let it bubble for 1–2 minutes to cook off the alcohol. Add the chopped tomatoes and passata. Fill the empty tomato tin with water (or beef bone broth) and add to the pan and rinse out the passata with a little water and add in. Crumble in the stock cube, then stir through the lentils and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce the heat and cook uncovered for 45–60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are cooked and the sauce is rich and thick. Add a splash of water if it reduces too much and season to taste. Serve with pasta, make into a lasagne, freeze in portions for perfect meal prep. I think this tastes even better the next day! #mealprep #healthyrecipes

HIGH PROTEIN CREAMY PESTO PASTA SALAD This is a proper prep-ahead salad that won’t go soggy. The sauce is blended cottage cheese with pesto and parmesan, creamy, tangy and packed with protein.

GNOCCHI LASAGNE Inspired by the viral lasagne soup, this gnocchi version doesn’t require layering and is a perfect winter warmer. Soft fluffy gnocchi folded through a rich beef ragu laded with veggies. Top with a silky cheesy béchamel with sharp cheddar and parmesan. You will need to serve 4 Under 500kcal and 30g protein per portion 500g beef mince 1 tin chopped tomatoes, 500g passata 1 diced white onion, 3 minced garlic cloves 2 diced celery sticks, 1 diced carrot, 1 diced courgette, 200g diced chestnut mushrooms 1 beef stock cube, 500g fresh gnocchi 1/2 tsp oregano, 1 tbsp tomato puree For Béchamel: 15ml olive oil, 1 heaped tbsp flour, 400ml milk 80g mature cheddar, 20g parmesan, 1 tsp American mustard Set your oven to 200°C (fan setting). In a large pan, season with salt & pepper and brown the mince over medium heat. Remove and set aside. In the same pan add the finely diced vegetables and a pinch of salt, sweat until the vegetables are tender and any excess water has evaporated. You want the veggies to develop some colour. Add the mince to the pan along with the chopped tomatoes, passata, beef stock cube, oregano, and tomato puree. Stir well to combine. Let this mixture simmer for a while to reduce and thicken. In a separate saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the flour and stir continuously for a couple of minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk to avoid lumps. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens. Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the cheeses and American mustard. Add the fresh gnocchi to the beef ragu mixture, folding gently to combine. Pour the gnocchi and ragu mixture into a baking dish. Smooth the top and then pour over the béchamel sauce, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle additional mature cheddar on top. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling. Let the gnocchi lasagne bake cool slightly before serving. #healthyrecipes #easyrecipe #dinnerideas

SPEEDY GNOCCHI CHICKEN LASAGNE I often crave lasagne, but being honest, I often cannot be bothered with the idea of making one. This is my solution: just throw the gnocchi into the sauce to simmer and thicken it, top with a single layer of cheesy béchamel and bake for only 10 minutes to colour the top. Lasagne in under 30 minutes, yes please. Swap the chicken for any mince you like beef, pork or keep veggie using lentils/beans Serves 4 big portions 565 kcal & 42g protein For the gnocchi ragu 300-350g cooked shredded chicken 2 celery sticks 1 carrot 1 red onion 1 courgette 200g chestnut mushrooms 2 garlic cloves 2 tbsp tomato purée 1 tin chopped tomatoes 200g passata 1 chicken stock cube 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tsp dried oregano 500g fresh gnocchi For the béchamel 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp plain flour 400ml skimmed milk 60g mature cheddar, grated 20g parmesan, grated Blitz the celery, carrot, red onion, courgette, mushrooms and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add to a large pan over a medium heat with a good pinch of salt and cook down until softened and most of the water has evaporated. Stir through the oregano and tomato purée and cook for 1–2 minutes. Pour in the chopped tomatoes, passata, and a tin of water. Add the stock cube, balsamic vinegar and plenty of salt and pepper, then simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce has reduced slightly. Add the gnocchi straight into the sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes until it starts to thicken the ragu. Fold through the shredded chicken and let everything heat through. Add a splash of water if needed, but you want the sauce thick rather than watery. For the béchamel, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the skimmed milk until smooth, then simmer gently until thickened. Stir through the cheddar and parmesan and season well. Transfer the gnocchi ragu to a baking dish, or keep it in the same pan if ovenproof, spoon over the béchamel and top with a little extra cheese if you like. Bake at 200°C for 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbling, then leave to sit for 5–10 minutes before serving. #healthyrecipes #comfortfood #quickrecipes

HEALTHY CHICKEN SAUSAGE RIGATONI ALLA ZOZZONA When I saw this pasta recipe, I knew I had to recreate it emthenutritionist style. All the cosy, peppery richness of classic zozzona made lighter with chicken sausages, a little smoked pancetta and that silky egg pecorino to finish. wowowow this was SO GOOD!! Hope you guys love it. Serves 2 567 kcal & 44g protein per portion 140g rigatoni 6 rashers thin smoked pancetta, cut into strips 1 shallot, finely diced 1 garlic clove, minced 1 tsp fennel seeds, lightly crushed ¼–½ tsp chilli flakes, to taste 8 chicken chipolatas (Heck), skins removed 1 tbsp tomato purée 150g passata Large handful cherry tomatoes, halved (about 100g) 30g Pecorino or parmsean, finely grated (plus extra to serve) 1 large egg, at room temperature Freshly cracked black pepper Put a large pot of well-salted water on to boil. In a small bowl, whisk the Pecorino, egg and plenty of black pepper; set aside. Add the rigatoni to the boiling water and cook until just shy of al dente, reserving 200–250ml of the starchy cooking water before draining. Place the pancetta in a cold pan and set over medium heat; cook for 3–4 minutes until the fat renders and the pancetta is crisp. Add the chicken sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. If the base starts to catch, splash in a little water to deglaze and scrape up the browned bits. Stir in the shallot, garlic, fennel seeds, chilli flakes and a small pinch of salt. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the tomato purée and cook for 1 minute, then pour in the passata and add the cherry tomatoes. Simmer gently for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened, adding a splash of pasta water if it looks dry. Tip in the drained pasta, toss over low heat until glossy and well coated. Whisk 50ml of the hot pasta water into the egg–cheese mixture to temper it. Take the pan off the heat, pour in the tempered egg mixture and toss quickly until the sauce turns silky and creamy, loosening with a little extra hot pasta water if needed.
