Banish Beige Food!

You Are What You Eat All Year Round

Taste The Rainbow...




It's easy in the summer to get a good range of vitamins into your diet. As the nights come earlier and the temperature gets cooler you need to make more of an effort to eat a rainbow of colours on your plate ensuring you are getting a complete range of nutrients.

Top up on your vitamin D intake with plenty of fresh air getting outside even on a dull day for 20 minutes is really important for your health and well being as is eating plenty of eggs.

Be sure to boost your immune system and ward off those germs with plenty of onions and garlic too.

If you're in a rush it couldn't be simpler there's nothing better than a quick stir fry to tick all these boxes. Shitake mushrooms are full of protein too helping you stay fuller for longer and keeping your energy levels steady too. Enjoy!
