Healthy fats are types of dietary fat that have a beneficial impact on the body, supporting heart health, brain function and cell growth. The main healthy fats are monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These fats are found in foods such as olive oil, avocados, nuts, seeds, and oily fish. Unlike saturated and trans fats, which are common in processed foods and can contribute to cardiovascular disease and chronic inflammation, healthy fats help to lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellbeing. Top healthy fat foods and their benefits Oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines, trout, herring): rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. Extra-virgin olive oil: rich in monounsaturated fats, with anti-inflammatory properties and positive effects on cholesterol. Avocados: high in monounsaturated fats, fibre and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, pistachios): provide a mix of healthy fats, protein and micronutrients. Seeds (flaxseed, chia, pumpkin, sunflower): high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and fibre. Nut butters (peanut, almond, cashew): good sources of healthy fats and plant-based protein. Full-fat yogurt: contains both hea…

encoded: Looking for the best feta recipes? Looking for a vegetarian salad? Try our ideas below then check out our easy Greek recipes, too? What is feta cheese? Feta cheese is a brined cheese made from sheep's milk and originating from Greece. It's characteristically tangy, salty flavour and crumbly texture make it a staple in many Mediterranean-style dishes including salads and filo pastries as well as pasta and other warm dishes. It can be served cold cut up into squares in a salad or sprinkled over dishes as crumbs. It can also be baked or grilled whole and combined with sweet toppings like honey or sprinkled with herbs like oregano. How long does feta last? A pack of unopened, vacuum-sealed feta can last up to three months in the fridge. Once opened, it should be consumed within a week and kept in its original brine or another saltwater solution to maintain its moisture and freshness. Without brine, feta tends to dry out quickly and should be used within a few days. For longer term storage, feta can be frozen for up to six months, though this may alter its texture slightly, making it more crumbly.

When you're in the middle of a busy workday, you want something that can energise and fuel you through the rest of the afternoon, without weighing you down. For me, the best healthy lunch ideas are those that can be prepared ahead of time, offering something that I know will make me feel good, while also being so delicious that my mouth waters just a little bit at the thought of it. Look for balanced options that offer clear sources of protein and fibre in particular, as these will keep you fuller for longer. Also, pay attention to how you feel after you eat. Some people prefer lighter options like soups and salads, while others need something heavier, like a stew or curry, to keep them satisfied. Both are healthy ways to go, as long as you're choosing nourishing options.

description: Our couscous recipes showcase this storecupboard staple as a versatile base for nutritious meals, from roast cauli salad to spiced salmon and harissa chicken broth
encoded: Looking for couscous recipes? Even though it may look like a grain, couscous is actually a type of pasta made from semolina flour (from durum wheat) mixed with water. It's most commonly used in hearty salads, tagines and side dishes in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, but it's also great to stuff into roasted peppers and stir into stews. The best way to hydrate couscous is with a 1:1 couscous to liquid ratio. You can even use stock rather than just plain water as this will add more initial flavour. Simply fluff it up with a fork at the end to achieve the optimum texture. Try our couscous recipes below, or check out our vegetarian salad ideas, quinoa recipes, bulgar wheat recipes and recipes with buckwheat.

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.
