2022 Healthy Eating

New Year, healthier you. We want to talk about healthy eating in 2022 and how to make healthy eating a success this year. We have made a healthy eating plan – all our recipes are healthy takes on some of the classic favourites, why should you have to cut out the dishes you love? Well this year you don’t have to.

Reframe Food as Fuel 

Diet culture emphasises restricting and cutting out foods you’re not ‘allowed’ to have. But if you’re focused on punishing yourself, how can you expect to enjoy food and develop a healthy long term relationship with it? 

Let’s change our mindset when it comes to healthy eating – remind yourself that food is the fuel you need to tackle both the mental and physical demands of your day. Decide how you’ll collect the nutrients you need. Add more nutritious ingredients to your meals rather than taking anything away. 

Love pasta recipes? We’ve got some healthy pasta recipes. A fan of the classic fish and chips? We’ve got a healthier version just for you. 

Keep Cooking Easy 

Make your New Year healthy eating routine easy to prepare, otherwise you’re more likely to slip back into old habits. 

It’s great to have a routine around cooking, but never put too much pressure on yourself or create stress. Here are some ideas for creating a regular meal prep schedule: plan your week’s meals in advance, buy all the ingredients for the week ahead and batch cook meals at the weekend and freeze them, so you can quickly reheat them during the week.

Be Realistic

A New Year healthy eating plan can inspire us to buy exciting new health foods. But a few months in, will you still be staring at the chickpea flour and grains of amaranth in the cupboard? Or will you associate the latest superfood with dieting, feeling you’re missing out on the foods you really want? 

Be realistic with yourself. That’s why we have tried to inspire you with 31 recipe ideas that are healthy takes on some yummy favourites so you don’t feel like you’re missing out. 

We have provided you with a list of ingredients that each meal requires and a meal planner/ grocery list to help you plan your meals each week. Writing down your meals and planning the week can help you stay focused and set your food intentions. All pushing to success with your healthy eating. 

Our plan is not just to create a month of healthy eating but to help you realise that you can adapt this to the rest of your year, it doesn’t have to start and end in January. 

We hope you enjoy our Healthy Food Planner!
