Porridge is a great breakfast to eat if you’re trying to heal your skin. You can add any fruit, nuts and seeds to give your body a big dose of vitamins, minerals and fibre first thing in the morning.

Miso & mushroom cous cous
I found wholewheat giant couscous in the supermarket the other week and it’s a new favourite. It takes only a few minutes longer than regular couscous but makes a far more substantial meal.
Hake with a sunblush tomato and olive tapenade
This dish is quick to make. It’s literally 15 minutes so makes a perfect weeknight dinner.
Hake is a great fish. It’s high in protein but low in saturated fat. It’s a chunky, white fish resembling cod (unsurprising because it’s from the cod family).
Simple green smoothie
This is my go to green smoothie on days where I feel my body just needs a bit of a reset. Whether I’ve just generally overindulged on food (or gin!) or I’ve got that familiar tingle on my skin that tells me I’ve eaten too much chocolate, this is the smoothie recipe that I turn to.
Chickpea, kale and baby corn curry
I love this curry. It’s very filling and packed full of goodness. The coconut oil, turmeric, garlic and ginger are anti-viral and anti-inflammatory making it a good dish for digestive and skin health.
Baked salmon, kale and tomato
Salmon dishes are a weekly feature in my house. There’s minimal preparation and it’s easy to cook. This recipe is really easy to double or treble up if you’re cooking for more people.
Poached pear and walnut porridge
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.
Smashed avocado toast with feta and eggs
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.
