Breakfast
Baked eggy vegetable pies are so good for some morning fuel. Rich with protein and fibre, they’ll keep you satiated right up until lunch-time. Make them in advance and simply warm one up each day of the week.

Snack
A batch of 5-ingredient coconut macarons shan’t go amiss on your tea tray! They’re quick to make and you’ll see just how quick they are to gobble up.

Lunch/dinner
If you’re searching for a super healthy meal that’s plant-based but filling, try these cauliflower Parmigiana steaks. True Italian flavour with all the cheesy, tomato-y richness.

Dessert
Don’t skimp on dessert because even if you’re low carbing it, there are ways to enjoy a sweet treat without the sugar. Enter: chocolate and raspberry low carb cheesecake! The base contains no biscuits or grains, and instead is made with good-for-you almond flour and desiccated coconut.
