Cook Once, Eat Twice…Batch Cooking Ideas for Breakfast & Snack Time
When life gets busy, we simply need fuss-free and nourishing food that all the family can enjoy. To help those in need of inspiration for speedy breakfasts and healthy snacks, we have created four new recipes that can be cooked once and eaten twice to save you time from week to week.
Walnuts are nutritional powerhouses that will bring a health boost to mealtimes. They are also extremely versatile and add great taste and texture to recipes, with a mild, smooth and creamy flavour. Plus they have multiple nutrition benefits from being a rich source of the plant-based omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), 2.7g/ 30g, 4.4g of protein and 1.4g of fibre[1].
Start the day with the Air Fried Walnut Granola, a delicious mix of walnuts, dried fruit and coconut, which can be stored in an airtight container for a few days once it’s been made to last through the week.
Weekend brunch fans will love the Baked Breakfast Walnut Frittata; two portions can be served fresh with the other two saved for the next day sliced in toasted ciabatta or French bread or cut the remaining squares into smaller pieces for a packed lunch the following day.
For those in need of an afternoon snack, the Coconut Walnut Bars are a sweet treat to enjoy with a cup of tea.
And for something savoury the moreish Bombay Style Chickpea and Walnut Mix is an irresistibly healthy snack that you won’t be able to resist coming back for more of!
