Quick and Healthy Meals That TASTE Good

Contrary to popular beliefs, a "low in calories" meal is not necessarily healthy. It might just lack the necessary nutrients and doesn't provide a satisfying experience. A truly healthy meal should be something full of essential nutrients, such as vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy, and that resembles what humans are naturally equipped to eat. Meals that come from packets or contain synthetic ingredients, especially "low fat" products, fake bread, seed oils, or "plant-based" products that lack recognisable plants, are not healthy choices.

Instant and Nutritious Salad Recipes

Let's start with a delicious Nicoisse salad that's perfect for those who love tuna. To prepare this, boil potatoes, eggs, and beans together, and while they're boiling, arrange lettuce, olives, and tuna, chop tomatoes, and chop some anchovies on top with a vinaigrette. Alternatively, you can pair it with a steak, a classic choice for those who enjoy it. Frying the steak while making a salad only takes less than 10 minutes. Another option is a salmon steak served with steamed potato, snow peas, and carrot. Steam these ingredients in the microwave while grilling the salmon. The entire process takes just 5 minutes.

An Easy and Delicious Pita Bread Salad

Create a quick and nourishing pita bread salad by lining a warm piece of pita bread with a leaf of iceberg lettuce. Stuff the lined pita bread with slices of feta cheese, salad tomato, peeled cucumber, and red onion. Nothing can surpass the simple combination of these ingredients. It's incredibly delicious, fast to prepare, easy to eat, and disgustingly healthy.

Avoid Highly Processed Instant Dishes

Avoid instant foods such as instant noodles, ramen, instant soup, or instant sauces, which are highly processed to make life easier at home. In stead, opt for homemade dishes that may take several minutes but are absolutely worth the wait. For example, a sandwich put together using ingredients from the deli like bread, smoked ham, cheese, and mustard. Such a dish is as delicious and healthy as any, without the unnecessary side of fries.

Healthy Cooking Methods and Dishes

Stay away from dishes that require a roaring wok or heating up the kitchen, such as rice porridge or congee. Instead, simmer marinated minced pork with congee and top it with a streetside vendor’s favorite accompaniments: youtiao (fried bread), easy-to-store century eggs, scallions, and ginger strips. This dish is incredibly satisfying and easy to enjoy.

Finally, embrace the warmth of foods that can bring sunshine to your winter day. Assembly of savory breakfast foods such as back bacon, eggs, pork sausages, baked beans, tomatoes, and mushrooms can create a delightful and comforting English breakfast once a week. It’s a perfect treat to indulge in.
