This little framework isn’t a rule. It’s simply there to help you come up with quick ideas, even on days when cooking is really not on the agenda.
5 building blocks:
Something plant-based
Vegetables, salad, fruit, frozen vegetables…
A source of protein
Hummus, beans, lentils, eggs, tofu, feta, mozzarella, yoghurt…
A source of energy
Bread, wraps, potatoes, rice, couscous, oats…
Something for flavour
Pesto, nuts, fresh herbs, lemon, olives, tahini, spices…
A drink
The simplest option: water.
