Empty fridge to rainbow prep in 60 minutes.
Watch the videoWant more fibre but don't know where to start? This is it.
One hour only. Timer on, no overthinking. Chase colour, not perfection: you don't need four kinds of leafy greens, just a rainbow.
Keep the cooking simple. A big pan with a lid and a little oil cooks most vegetables. Roast the rest. Future you will thank you when lunch takes five minutes.
The recipe
Metric, with cups in brackets- Sweet potatoes
- Carrots
- Summer squash or courgettes
- Asparagus
- Kale
- Garlic
- Avocado oil
- Sea salt
Start the sweet potatoes first. Pierce them and roast at 200°C for 45 minutes, so they cook while you do everything else.
Wash and cut everything else small and uniform, so it cooks fast.
Carrots, squash and asparagus: medium heat, a little oil, lid on, tossing every minute. Done when knife tender.
Garlic kale: medium heat, oil, garlic on top, lid on. Take it off as soon as it wilts.
Store everything in the fridge for quick lunches all week.
My Nourish3 Method is simple: protein, healthy fat and fibre whenever you eat. These give you the fibre. At each meal, add a protein, like eggs, a tin of fish, chicken, tofu or beans, and a healthy fat, like olive oil or avocado.
