[shannon_275]

I'm trying to do a meal plan for the week but I'm struggling for dinner ideas. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the group.

Do you have any allergies to certain types of food?

[shannon_275 in reply to Activity2004]

Nope no allergies

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to shannon_275]

What is your favorite type of food?

[shannon_275 in reply to Activity2004]

I eat a lot of meals with chicken in its the one thing I probably have a lot of

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to shannon_275]

Do you have salads with chicken on top or on the side?

[shannon_275 in reply to Activity2004]

On the side

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to shannon_275]

Grilled or broiled?

Hi shannon_275 ,

Welcome to the Healthy Eating forum. There are some 'meal ideas' in this Topics section, so you could have a look through to see if anything takes your interest or inspires you:

healthunlocked.com/healthye...

There is another Topic called 'Healthy Recipes' which would also be worth looking through.

Finally, the healthy eating pages in NHS Choices might be helpful too - the link to that is on the righ-hand-side of the forum page, but I'll pop back with the link, incase you want to take a look at that. Here is the link:

Hi shanon_275,

I'm making a lot of soups at the moment in the hope of keeping winter bugs at bay. This is a really good recipe: liveenergized.com/alkaline-... I make this every week as it has so much goodness in it and it's very filling.

[Frostie2560 in reply to miss_m]

Wow, thanks for the link. Very interesting! I’d never have thought to put avocado in a soup. I’m not a massive fan of dill, is this a strong flavour in the soup?

[miss_m in reply to Frostie2560]

I wouldn't say the dill is overpowering. I tweak the recipe to my own taste and use kale instead of spinach. I also add ACV, Turmeric, powdered Hemp and Parsley. I would say if one flavour stands out above all the others it would be the bell pepper, as it goes in raw. It makes for a really fresh taste. I am recommending this recipe to everyone because it is so amazing!

[Frostie2560 in reply to miss_m]

Thank you. I’m definitely going to try this.x

[Zest in reply to miss_m]

That's a lovely looking soup, I am going to make that one I think. I've copied and pasted it for future reference. Many thanks!

I took a photo of the last batch I made to post on FB. ( I am seriously telling everyone to make it ..lol) but I don't know how to add a photo here or I would have posted a pic.

[Zest in reply to miss_m]

Hi miss_m

To post a photo you need to do a new post - and then you'll have the option to add a photo - so you can do it that way - and I would love to see what it looks like, so I hope you do that!

[miss_m in reply to Zest]

[Zest in reply to miss_m]

[miss_m in reply to Hidden]

Yay! I did it.

I've recently transitioned from Vegetarian to Vegan so I'm really trying hard to put as much varied nutrition into all my food. I really need to be more varied with my diet so I'm always looking for good recipe ideas.

[Hidden in reply to miss_m]

I've seen and its brilliant, we have vegan members and we have vegan recipes under healthy eating. I think you've got the right idea adding flaked almonds to the soup I love flaked almonds, some of us add chia seeds to soups and salads and quinoa is a brilliant food for vegans as its a complete food. 😊
