To help you get started on your healthy eating journey, Eat Yourself Healthy begins with a two-week kickstarter meal plan filled with tasty breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and drinks to see you through every meal of the day. By following this plan, you’ll ensure you eat at least seven portions of fruit and veg every day, plus around 50g of daily protein, 30g of fibre, and a variety of carbohydrates.
To give you a taste of what to expect from the two-week kickstarter before you pick up a copy of Eat Yourself Healthy, you can browse the recipes from week one of the plan below, or jump straight to the relevant day:
Monday
Breakfast
Jamie Oliver’s Peach Melba Mothership Overnight Oats
One of Jamie’s biggest tips for kickstarting your health journey is making a large batch of overnight oats, which you can store in your fridge for up to three days and customise with a variety of toppings, so you won’t be eating the same thing for breakfast all week. First up, we have Peach Melba – a fruity mix of raspberries, tinned peaches, and creamy Greek yoghurt.
Enjoy with a cup of Jamie’s warming, sweet, and punchy Morning Kickstarter drink, and you’ll feel energised and ready to take on the week ahead.
