this change ensures you drink more water over the day
when it comes to dinner by making a weekly meal plan at the start of the week. You are less inclined to choose takeaways if you already have a meal planned - routine really is your friend!
onto a kebab sitck for a healthy dessert
for meatless meals or to bulk out casseroles, mince and other meat dishes
to each meal to reach your 5+ a day
ask for input from the family - making favourite dinners healthier is a great skill to share and teach
