HUMMUS Hummus is simply lovely . Made from blended chickpeas , it ’ s the perfect accompaniment for your raw vegetables . Chickpeas contain high levels of fibre and protein ( protein is another boost to repairing tissue , plus it regulates hormones too ).
SALMON OR TUNA ( OR BOTH ) Salmon and tuna are both great snack items which need little to no preparation , and they are both good for you . So when you are deciding what to stock your fridge up with , these fish are a great choice . Salmon and tuna are full of omega-3 fatty acids , a type of unsaturated fat . Eating enough of this will lower your risk of dying from heart disease by keeping your blood vessels healthy .
HOMEMADE PESTO Pesto is made from olive oil , pine nuts , parmesan and basil blended together . Add lemon juice or garlic to give it some extra zing , and don ’ t forget a little seasoning . Pesto is a handy ingredient to keep on standby when you want to jazz
up a basic meal . It can be added to pasta , baked into bread , mixed as a salad dressing , or even used to spread onto vegetables before roasting them .
CHICKEN BREASTS Chicken is an incredibly lean food , with just one gram of saturated fat for every 100 grams of meat . That ’ s why it ’ s a useful staple to keep in the fridge . Once thoroughly cooked , it can be added to pasta , rice , salads , used in a sandwich , added to soup ( or used as the base for one ), and included in low fat stir fries .
NUT BUTTERS Whether it ’ s made from peanut , hazelnut , walnut , or any other kind of nut , having some nut butter in the fridge is a great way to add instant taste to otherwise ( potentially ) boring snacks . Dipping fruit into this kind of butter is a lovely way to make it more flavoursome . You can make your own nut butter nice and easily by whizzing nuts up in a blender until they are smooth .
