Winter eating tips for good health

A change in season often means a change in diet and routine, like seeking the warmth of the couch and eating more! With these easy tips you can eat for comfort yet still maintain your health.​

Protein power: include eggs, lean meat, tofu, or nuts/seeds in every meal to curb cravings.

Seasonal selections: opt for root veggies, broccoli, cauliflower, pears, and oranges. Try our recipe for winter fritters!

Healthy fats: use olive oil for dressings and cooking. Try avocado, hummus, or nut butters on bread instead of butter.

Raw boost: aid immunity and digestion by adding fresh, raw food to every meal.

Warmth factor: use spices with warming properties such as ginger, chilli and paprika.

Batch cook: prepare batches of soup or casserole for convenient freezer-friendly meals.
