3. VIRAL JENNIFER ANISTON SALAD

Herby, crunchy, earthy, zingy and sweet. A well balanced, delicious salad! This is my take on the viral salad.

MEAL PREP. Mix all except the dressing together in jar. Mix the dressing separately and pour over on the day of eating.

4. EGG-LESS SALAD SANDWICH

Or Tofu mayo sandwich. A egg-free take on the classic egg mayo sandwich, which is just as satisfying and easy to make. Plus it is high in both protein and calcium.

MEAL PREP the filling ahead of time for a quick sandwich option.

5. VEGAN CAESAR SALAD FLATBREAD

A tofu Caesar Salad is always a winner, but pile that on a soft, fluffy flatbread and avocado slices... Simply Amazing!

MEAL PREP the tofu and the dressing. Use a store-bought flatbread or make one from scratch.

6. BAKED SWEET POTATO WITH KIMCHI TOFU

Oven-baked sweet potato with a delicious spicy tofu, black bean and kimchi filling. Finished with fresh coriander and spring onions. Mexican flavours meet Asian flavours. Delicious!

MEAL PREP: Make to tofu filling ahead of time and reheat for lunch.

7. LENTIL SOUP WITH SMOKEY MUSHROOMS

 A smoky, hearty lentil soup made with only a few humble ingredients. Served with smoky, slightly sweet and sticky mushrooms and fresh herbs. Nutritious and full of flavour.

MEAL PREP This soup is great for meal prep as you can make a big batch and simply reheat on the day for your lunch. I would not suggest pre-making the mushrooms though. Rather make them fresh on the day or serve without the mushrooms.
