When life gets busy, a well-chosen ready meal can be a lifesaver. But how do you pick one that aligns with your health goals and taste buds? Let's dive
into some smart strategies for making wise choices. 🤓🍏

Check the Ingredients: Flip that package over and scan the ingredients list. Aim for meals with real, recognizable ingredients. If the list is a
mile long or filled with hard-to-pronounce words, consider another option.

Mindful Macros: Keep an eye on the macronutrients – protein, carbs, and fats. Opt for balanced meals that provide a good mix to keep you satisfied. Bonus points for higher protein content and whole grains.

Serving Size Savvy: Don't forget to check the serving size! What might seem like a single-serving meal could actually be meant for two. Adjust your portions accordingly.

Fiber Focus: Seek out meals with a healthy dose of fiber. Fiber not only supports digestion but also helps keep you full and satisfied. Look for whole grains, legumes, and plenty of veggies.

Added Sugar Awareness: Keep those added sugars in check. Some savory dishes might have surprising sources of hidden sugars. Opt for meals with little to no added sugars.

Portion Control: While convenience is key, ready meals can sometimes be calorie-dense. If weight management is a goal, consider pairing your meal with a side salad or some steamed veggies to bulk it up.

You can also use ready meals as a base and add extra veggies, lean protein, or whole grains to enhance the nutritional value.

Remember, it's all about balance and making choices that align with your personal preferences and health goals. Ready meals can be a valuable tool in your busy life, so choose wisely and savour every bite! 🌟🥗

Omega 3 supplements tend to be quite expensive, so getting the recommeneded 3-5 servings of fatty (or dark oily) fish per week can be a more affordable option. Especially if you go for pilchards & sardines.

Here is one way of preparing them for the whole family to enjoy!

Omega 3 Fish Cake Recipe

Makes 15 small fishcakes

Portion: 3 fishcakes per person

 

Ingredients:

1 large potato, pre-cooked, peeled and mashed

1 bunch of parsley, finely chopped

1 x 425 g tin of dark oily fish or 2 x 170 g tins of tuna (I used Lucky Star MiddleCut – R25.99 at PnP)

1 egg

½ lemon, squeezed

½ tsp cumin

½ tsp cayenne pepper

Salt and Pepper

 

 

Crumb:

2 x slices of brown bread, crumbed (use ½ cup Oats blended for a gluten-free option)

1 TBS sesame seeds

 

For frying:

1 TBS oil

 

Method

Combine the mashed potato, parsley, tinned fish, egg, lemon and spices.  Mash well with a fork or masher

Combine breadcrumbs and sesame seeds in a separate plate

Roll small balls out of the fishcake mixture using your hands and flatten into patty shapes

Roll the fishcakes into the crumb and sesame seed mixture.

Pre-heat a pan with oil and fry the fishcakes for around 10 minutes until golden brown on each side

If cooking from frozen, place in the oven and cook for 20 – 30 minutes.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: High blood pressure is known as a 'silent killer' because there are rarely any symptoms or visible signs to warn that blood pressure is high. It is for this reason that more than 50% of people with high blood pressure are unaware of their condition!

Bulgur Salad with Cucumbers, Red Peppers, Chick Peas, Lemon & Dill

INGREDIENTS
1 cup bulgur wheat
1½ teaspoons salt, divided
⅓ cup diced red onion
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup fresh lemon juice, from 2 lemons
1 large garlic clove, finely minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 cucumber, seeded and diced
½ cup finely chopped fresh dill
⅓ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

INSTRUCTIONS
Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Place the bulgur in a large bowl with ½ teaspoon salt and 1¼ cups boiling water. Cover the bowl tightly with saran wrap and let sit for 15-30 minutes, or until all of the water is absorbed. Let cool, then fluff with a fork.

In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, sugar, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt.

Add the cooled bulgur, onion, bell pepper, cucumber, dill, parsley, and chick peas.

Toss well, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Chill until ready to serve.

You can store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
