Porridge oats make a great breakfast. They’re easy to make and so good for you. The humble oat is believed to lower high blood pressure, reduce bad cholesterol and keep your heart healthy. They’re particularly great for healthy skin because they’re a great source of fibre, are anti-inflammatory and are a prebiotic, meaning they feed the good bugs in your gut.
This is my favourite breakfast. It’s hard to beat eggs on toast but if you follow my healthy eating principle of ‘banish the beige’ then adding some colour makes this even better.
Avocados are one of the best skin-loving foods you can eat. They’re full of good fats and are an excellent source of vitamin E.
This is my favourite skin-friendly smoothie recipe. Bananas and almonds are a powerful combination to heal your skin.
The bananas are a prebiotic meaning they provide food for the good bugs in your gut and the almond butter is a source of vitamin E, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids.
Leafy greens, like rocket, are an essential component of a healthy diet. Alongside the butternut squash, this recipe provides essential fibre and vitamins A, C and E so good for your gut and your skin.
Adding something warm to a salad is great way of getting greens in to your diet at any time of year.
Until recently, parsnips were one of those vegetables that I ate at Christmas but rarely any other time of the year. Now I buy a bag pretty much every week.
This simple but tasty soup is just comfort in a bowl. It’s thick, warming and creamy. Perfect for a cosy lunch or light dinner.
Butternut squash is one of my favourite ingredients. It’s high in fibre helping to keep your digestive system healthy, which is essential for healthy skin. It also contains a decent amount of vitamin C and other essential vitamins and minerals.
