Eating
healthily can appear boring and dull, but it really doesn’t have to be. It is
easy to eat healthily without having to live off salad and rice cakes.
There are
many different celebrity diets and fads going around at the moment, but all you
need to remember is to eat healthily and exercise regularly.
Here are
some fun ideas that are healthy and tasty.
Chicken and chips
Chicken is
brilliant as you can make it into so many different meals. One of our
favourites is chicken with green vegetables and oven chips. Chicken baked in
the oven with some wholegrain mustard and wrapped in bacon is delicious on its
own, but becomes sensational when served with a nice bowl of thick cut oven chips
and salad vegetables.
Venison steak and chips
Venison
steak is a great, healthy alternative to beef - it is lower in fat and not too
expensive either. Prepare it with a red wine, cranberry jelly and onion
reduction to give it a bit of added flavor – be sure to cook it long enough
for the alcohol to evapourate.
Again, this
is best served with your favorite green veg and carrots and some oven chips. Any
steak needs to be served with chips after all.
Super-food Salad
If you love
a good garden salad then make it feel like you’re eating a hearty meal by
adding the contents of the fridge to it. Don’t scrimp on your salad otherwise
they become dull and boring.
A great
salad has mixed leaves, pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, broccoli, onion and grated
carrot along with a topping of with pomegranate seeds. You can add some grilled
chicken to this to make it a bit more filling.
Simple stir-fry
A stir-fry is
a delicious and healthy option. A lovely, simple chicken and veg stir-fry with
a sweet chilli sauce, served with some fresh egg noodles is a wonderful,
filling and low-fat evening meal. And it’s super quick too.
If you’re
worried about keeping these ideas healthy, have a look at the McCain website to see how their products
compare to others. At 5 per cent fat, you really can’t go wrong with their
chips and they are just as tasty as the very unhealthy kind.
