1. Fiber rich tacos made from cauliflower

You need: 1 cauliflower. Chop the whole veggie and add it to your regular food processor. Pulse a few times and then add everything to a large bowl. Add 2 tbsp veggie oil, chilli powder (1 tsp) and salt. Prepare your oven (450°F) and add the mixture into a tray with baking sheets, then bake for 30 minutes or until brown. When the cauliflower is done, prepare your taco shells as you like: add lettuce, peppers, cheese and of course the baked cauliflower. Recipe seen in Big Little Recipes, by Emma Laperruque.

2. Hot salad to warm you up

This is perfect if you don’t generally like salads and it’s a recipe from Cooking at Home, by David Chang and Priya Krishna. Get a large pan and add your favorite oil to it. Heat it up and add half of one iceberg head leaves. Toss everything then add a thinly sliced garlic clove, minced chilli and some soy sauce and a bit of rice vinegar. If you like toasted sesame seeds, add them to your warm salad and don’t forget to add also salt and pepper!

3. Go green

Don’t usually like cold spinach leaves? You can always cook it in no time. This is a one pan show and it’s loaded with vitamins and minerals. Take a whole bag of spinach, heat up a pan with olive oil and add the leaves when the oil is sizzling. Add a bit of salt and pepper and cook until wilted (that’s about 2-3 minutes). Squeeze half of lemon juice inside and serve as a side to your juicy steak or whatever you’re having as lunch / dinner.

4. You can never have enough fruits & veggies, am I right?

Did you know that people who have a plant-based diet are healthier in general and have lower risks of getting a flu or the Covid (yep it’s not over yet)? Studies show that fruits and veggies daily can bring plenty of nutrients to your diet helping your immune system get stronger.

5. Onions and garlic can fight infections

As powerful veggies packed with nutrients, onions and garlic have plenty of antioxidants. Which means they can protect your body and even help you fight infections and disease.

6. Have you ever tried roasted onions?

If not, this is the perfect time. Just slice the top of some yellow onions and set them on a baking sheet. Add salt and drizzle olive oil all over the onions. Roast them in the oven until they are tender, for a few hours. Peel and serve hot or cold.

7. Add color to you plate

Greens are super, but did you know that if you regularly eat a rainbow in your plate on a daily basis (like if you eat red food, blue or violet fruits, oranges, green peppers, or apples) you might lower your risk by 20% of cognitive decline?

8. Don’t skip over seeds and nuts

Yes we’re talking about sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, pecan nuts, whatever nuts you fancy. Try them all and add them to your daily meals. Why? Because they are heart-healthy but also have natural oils. You can even add them to your morning bircher muesli or porridge or your smoothies.

9. Fish is always a classic

And not only that but it’s also super healthy food. Go for salmon fillets and add salt, black pepper, fennel seeds and garlick. Add lemon zest and olive oil. Then heat up a pan with olive oil and add your fish. Let it sizzle and cook till super juicy.

10. Enjoy every meal

If you don’t have enough time to cook, make some time. Use that old microwave, there are plenty of healthy recipes out there that you can try and take no longer than 3 or 5 minutes. So time is no excuse. But more importantly, enjoy your food. Every meal should be tasty but also healthy.

So prepare your grocery list and take some notes. And remember food is not everything. Your lifestyle and how active you are is also important, because the key to a healthy diet is to balance the energy you consume every day with your job, your activities, with the energy you use on a daily basis. Ultimately, focus on foods that feed your nutritional needs and make sure your diet is a balanced one!
