HUMMUS Hummus is simply lovely. Made from blended chickpeas, it’ s the perfect accompaniment for your raw vegetables. Chickpeas contain high levels of fibre and protein( protein is another boost to repairing tissue, plus it regulates hormones too).
SALMON OR TUNA( OR BOTH) Salmon and tuna are both great snack items which need little to no preparation, and they are both good for you. So when you are deciding what to stock your fridge up with, these fish are a great choice. Salmon and tuna are full of omega-3 fatty acids, a type of unsaturated fat. Eating enough of this will lower your risk of dying from heart disease by keeping your blood vessels healthy.
HOMEMADE PESTO Pesto is made from olive oil, pine nuts, parmesan and basil blended together. Add lemon juice or garlic to give it some extra zing, and don’ t forget a little seasoning. Pesto is a handy ingredient to keep on standby when you want to jazz
up a basic meal. It can be added to pasta, baked into bread, mixed as a salad dressing, or even used to spread onto vegetables before roasting them.
CHICKEN BREASTS Chicken is an incredibly lean food, with just one gram of saturated fat for every 100 grams of meat. That’ s why it’ s a useful staple to keep in the fridge. Once thoroughly cooked, it can be added to pasta, rice, salads, used in a sandwich, added to soup( or used as the base for one), and included in low fat stir fries.
NUT BUTTERS Whether it’ s made from peanut, hazelnut, walnut, or any other kind of nut, having some nut butter in the fridge is a great way to add instant taste to otherwise( potentially) boring snacks. Dipping fruit into this kind of butter is a lovely way to make it more flavoursome. You can make your own nut butter nice and easily by whizzing nuts up in a blender until they are smooth.
