encoded: Feeling low on energy? Get inspired to fuel your day the healthy way with our top picks of energy-boosting foods, with delicious recipes to spark your creativity. You can also check our our lists of high-fibre foods, gut-healthy recipes and high-calorie foods to try. Get your day off to a great start with our five tips for your morning routine and then wind down in the evening with our mindful evening routine tips. What is a high-energy food? The type and quantity of food you consume throughout the day has a big impact on how energetic (or tired) you will feel. While all foods will give you energy through calories, certain foods, such as those we've listed below, offer nutrients such as B vitamins, healthy carbohydrates, energising fats and satisfying proteins to help you stay alert and focussed throughout your day. 20 high-energy foods to fuel your day 1. Bananas These healthy pancakes are dairy- and gluten-free, as well as being low in calories. Made with just three ingredients, they are super-quick to whip up, and the peanut butter makes them sturdy, so they’re easy to flip. A great way to use up overripe bananas, our classic banana loaf requires just six ingredients and is perfect for a teatime treat or breakfast snack. 2. Brown rice Try this healthy hoisin-glazed tofu with stir-fried brown rice. It's a really simple vegan dish that's perfect for lunch or dinner. It offers protein-rich tofu and plenty of green vegetables, too. Or try this low-calorie soup, combining chorizo, broccoli and brown rice to create a warm and hearty meal. It is easy to make and suitable for freezing if you want to make a big batch for later. 3. Oily fish Traybakes are the midweek saviour. This vibrant curried salmon dish is full of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants – great for maintaining a healthy mind and skin. Serve as is, or add a nutritious grain like brown rice or spelt when you're extra-hungry. This nourishing sumac-frilled salmon recipe packs in 10 different plant fo…

description: Discover wholesome meal ideas using butter beans, green beans, black beans and more
encoded: Eating more beans has many benefits to your health. Beans are packed with fibre which supports good digestion and contributes to a healthy gut. They are also high in protein, so you can either replace the meat or fish with beans, like we do in our vegan chilli, or you can double up on protein, like we do in our baked cod with butter beans. Beans also count towards your 30 daily plant foods, so if you're keeping count you'll be impressed with our five-bean chilli and green bean and grain salad, both of which contribute multiple plant points. To see more of our delicious, hearty and filling bean ideas, check out our butter bean recipes, black bean recipes, borlotti bean recipes and broad bean recipes. Plus see all our high-fibre meals. Healthy butter bean recipes Healthy beans on toast Ditch the processed variety and make your own baked beans using tomatoes, spices and honey. They are truly delicious on wholegrain toast for lunch. Turmeric and ginger butter bean stew Nourish yourself with a big bowl of our butter bean and kale stew with a zingy ginger, turmeric and creamy coconut milk broth. Harissa, butter bean and red pepper orzo Tuck into a comforting bowl of butter bean orzo with the fresh, punchy flavours of harissa and red pepper. Baked cod and butter beans Cod is topped with a rosemary parmesan crust then baked in a rich tomato and butter bean sauce to make this seriously high-protein dish. Cheesy bean omelette wraps These cheesy bean omelette wraps make a quick, protein-packed lunch ready in just 20 minutes. Filled with spinach, giant baked beans and mature cheddar, they’re hearty, satisfying and freezer-friendly for up to a month – perfect for easy make-ahead lunches.

Try our recipes below, then check out even more of our favourite slow-cooker recipes. Slow cooking is a convenient and often healthier way to cook, as you can load the slow cooker with lots of protein, vegetables and good carbohydrates. It's a much lighter alternative to a ready-meal, and one that's typically lower in calories. It can also be easier on your digestion due to the longer cooking time – this makes food softer to eat and eases the work of the digestive system. We've also got more healthy comfort food recipes and healthy one-pot recipes to try and tested the best slow cookers for you. Easy healthy slow cooker recipes Healthy slow cooker chicken curry This slow-cooked, gluten-free curry is healthier than your everyday chicken curry, but doesn’t compromise on big, punchy flavours: expect cumin, coriander and chilli. Slow cooker dhal Low in salt and sugar, this dreamy dhal is flavoured with ginger, cardamom and kashmiri chilli powder. Cooked low and slow, finish with a sizzling homemade tarka for extra flavour. Slow cooker winter vegetable stew Protein-packed pearl barley adds both nuttiness and texture to this wholesome, steaming bowl of winter veg, simmered in a herby broth. It's also low in salt. Healthy chilli Brisket chilli is a joy to eat. We’ve upped the veg and beans in this simple slow cooker dish and avoided guacamole and soured cream to make a hearty bowl that's a little bit healthier. Slow-cooker cashew and potato curry A creamy, aromatic Sri Lankan curry, made simply in a slow cooker. This recipe doesn't require any fancy ingredients, and is also suitable for vegans. Slow cooker sweet potato, chickpea and coconut one-pot This high-fibre, vegetarian one-pot is great for warming you up on chilly nights – it’s creamy, spicy and zingy. It freezes brilliantly, too.

What's the difference between a vegan and plant-based diet? While these two dietary approaches are very similar, a plant-based lifestyle allows for the occasional consumption of animal products, should an individual choose to eat these. On the other hand, veganism avoids consuming all animal-based products and by-products.

Check out our recipes below, then take a look at our healthy high-protein vegan recipes, quick vegan recipes, tempeh recipes and budget vegan recipes. Iron is an essential nutrient for good health, for it is involved in transporting oxygen around our body by binding to haemoglobin and carrying red blood cells around the body. Too little and you may start to feel tired, lack concentration and even feel light-headed. You can get iron from your diet in both animal (heme) and plant-based (non-heme) sources, and the absorption is increased when eaten alongside fruits and vegetables which contain Vitamin C. Good vegan iron sources include legumes such as tofu, lentils, tempeh, beans, peas, nuts, seeds, wholegrains and certain fruits and vegetables, including green leafy vegetables, tomato purée, prunes and olives. 24 vegan iron-rich recipes 1. Vegan aubergine curry Cook aubergine pieces with fragrant spices and red lentils for a healthy midweek meal. Serve with naans for a hearty dinner. 2.

What makes a nutritious, healthy dinner? Like most meals, balance is important, as this will help you to feel satisfied and give your body the nutrients it requires. On a basic level, simply ask: does my plate have at least one source of protein, healthy fat and carbohydrate? Remember, vegetables are carbohydrates too – not just bread, rice and pasta. In fact, dinnertime is a great time to load up on less starchy, fibre-rich vegetables such as broccoli, kale, cauliflower, peppers and mushrooms. Variety is important, as different foods offer different types of nutrients and fibres, so try to aim for at least three or four different ingredients on your plate – if you can make it 10, even better!

Check out our ideas below and then take a look at more of our favourite fish recipes, plus our healthy prawn recipes and healthy salmon recipes. Fish is a great alternative to meat and is naturally high in protein.

Including fish in your diet has also been linked to health benefits such as supporting brain health and mental health, as well as reducing the risk of heart disease or stroke. Fish is super versatile and easy to prepare, and a healthy balanced diet should include just two portions a week, one of which should be an oily fish. We've also got plenty more healthy recipes to inspire you, including these healthy chicken recipes, healthy chicken breast recipes and healthy mince recipes.
