Easy, Feel Good Recipes to Try This Week
In the run up to University Mental Health Day, we’re sharing some of our favourite recipes. Each one has been chosen because its ingredients help support physical wellbeing - simple, nourishing dishes that are easy to make and (bonus!) can be made in batches, so you'll always have something in the fridge for when you'd rather be doing something other than cooking!
Five Bean Chilli
Beans means a healthy dose of protein and fibre - great for steady energy
- Even better if: add some leafy greens like spinach
- Keeps for: 3 days in fridge, freezes well
- Serve on rice, a jacket potato, in wraps as a burrito base, or top up tortilla chips to make nachos
A Beckett Kitchen classic menu item, you might have seen our Five Bean chilli as part of our Lunch for Less £2.00 meal menu!
Tuna Pasta Bake
Oily fish are filled with brain boosting nutrients
- Even better if: use wholegrain pasta
- Keeps for: 3 days in fridge
Sweet Potato & Spinach Dhal
Spinach is packed with iron and vitamin C - all supporting mood, focus and reducing fatigue
- Even better if:
- Keeps for: 3 - 4 days in fridge, freezes well
- Serve with: rice, naan or chapatis
This is a classic Beckett Kitchen recipe and was cooked as part of our No Waste We'll Cook event back in 2022, where our team of chefs created two dishes to use up leftovers and long shelf life foods!
Overnight Oats
Oats are rich in fibre, giving steady energy and better focus
- Even better if: add chia seeds for extra omega 3
- Make 3 - 4 jars at a time
- Customise each day with yoghurt, seeds, honey or cinnamon
