Healthy family meals
We know that cooking healthy family dinners is no easy task, especially after a tiring day or if you’ve got fussy eaters to feed. Our collection of healthy meals is family-friendly, while keeping budget in mind and the prep as quick and easy as possible.
Let us inspire you with our favourite fail-safe dinner ideas – all nutritious AND flavour-packed. Top picks include our air fryer salmon fillets with a speedy marinade, chicken curry traybake and colourful hoisin duck lettuce wraps.
Keep vegetarians happy (and up your veg intake) with a veggie shepherd’s pie complete with cheesy root veg mash. Plant-based cooks should try our vegan sausage casserole or siracha tofu rice bowl.
Looking for healthy summer dinners? Our chicken and veg traybake uses one roasting pan and is ready in around 35 minutes. Pesto pasta fans: swap the green stuff for our red pepper pesto pasta.
If you need supper on the table quick, check out all our easy meals in 30 minutes. Want to avoid lots of washing up? Our traybake and one pot meals are for you.
