🌿 GREEN THAI NOODLE STIR-FRY 🌿
Chicken OR Tofu • Fresh • Light • Flavour-Packed

Bright, vibrant, and absolutely delicious — this fresh take on Thai flavours is lighter than a traditional curry but still full of that wonderful zingy, aromatic taste we love! 💚

Perfect for weight loss and menopause support — high protein, packed with greens, and loaded with anti-inflammatory herbs to help you feel your best from the inside out ✨

🥗 INGREDIENTS (per serving)

Protein choice:

- 140g lean chicken breast, sliced thin OR 150g firm tofu, cubed & patted dry

- 75g dried rice noodles

- 1 tsp coconut oil

- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger

🌿 THE GREEN SAUCE:

- 1 handful fresh coriander

- 1 handful fresh basil (Thai basil if you have it)

- 2 spring onions, roughly chopped

- ½ small green chilli (deseeded for mild)

- 2 tbsp lime juice

- 1 tbsp light soy sauce or tamari

- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup

- 2 tbsp water

🥦 THE GREENS:

- ½ courgette, sliced into ribbons

- Handful sugar snap peas

- Handful tenderstem broccoli, chopped

- 1 handful baby spinach

👩‍🍳 METHOD

1️⃣ Soak noodles in hot water for 5–6 minutes until soft, then drain and set aside.

2️⃣ Make your green sauce: Blitz or finely chop all the sauce ingredients together until smooth and beautifully bright green 💚

3️⃣ Heat coconut oil in a pan or wok over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes until golden and cooked through, or tofu for 6–8 minutes until crisp all over.

4️⃣ Add broccoli and sugar snap peas — stir-fry for 3 minutes. Toss in courgette ribbons and spinach for just 1 minute until wilted.

5️⃣ Add the noodles, pour over your vibrant green sauce, and toss everything well for 1–2 minutes until hot and evenly coated.

6️⃣ Top with extra fresh herbs and a wedge of lime — and enjoy! ✨

27/08/2026

I was thinking today about how easy it is to grab whatever looks nice on the shelf, no matter where it’s come from or what time of year it is. And honestly? I’ve done that plenty myself too 😅

But lately I’ve been making more of an effort to stick to what’s actually in season right here in the UK — and wow, what a difference it makes! 🇬🇧✨

It’s not about being perfect or following strict rules — it’s just about making small swaps where we can 💛

🟢 RIGHT NOW — LATE AUGUST / EARLY SEPTEMBER — HERE’S WHAT’S AT ITS BEST:

🥔 Veggies: New potatoes, tomatoes, sweetcorn, courgettes, peppers, onions, beetroot, carrots, runner beans, cucumber, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, aubergine, fennel, radishes — all fresh, all local, all bursting with flavour!

🍇 Fruit: Blackberries everywhere you look! Plums, damsons, strawberries, raspberries, early apples, pears, figs, greengages — sweet, juicy, and picked ripe 🍇🍎

💛 WHY DO I DO THIS? HERE’S WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO ME:

- Because it tastes better — fruit and veg ripened on the plant and eaten fresh just has so much more flavour. It’s sweeter, richer, and actually tastes like it’s supposed to!

- Because it’s kinder to our bodies — the longer produce sits in storage or travels, the more goodness it loses. Fresh = more vitamins, more minerals, more nourishment.

- Because it’s kinder to our planet — fewer food miles, less cold storage, less packaging. Every time we choose local, we’re choosing a lighter footprint 🌍

- Because it’s cheaper — when something’s in season, there’s plenty of it, so prices drop. Good food doesn’t have to cost the earth — literally!

- Because it supports our own — every time we buy British-grown, we’re supporting our local farmers, our countryside, and our communities ❤️

And honestly? There’s something really satisfying about eating with the seasons. It connects us to the natural rhythm of things — and that feels really good for the soul too 💛

💬 HERE’S MY QUESTION FOR YOU:

What’s YOUR favourite fruit or veg right now? And have you noticed how much better it tastes when it’s in season? Let’s chat below! 👇❤️
