Smoky Black Bean Chilli With Avocado Salsa
Did you know that, gram for gram, black beans contain more antioxidants than oranges? This nourishing and warming vegetarian chilli is loaded with plant-based protein, complex and sustaining low G.I. carbohydrate, B vitamins, fibre, iron and calcium to sustain energy and protect the immune system.

Conchiglione Pasta A La Provençale
All the CRuNCHers love these enormous pasta shells, which serve as boats to hold our flavoursome tomato sauce perfectly! The sauce is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A and B vitamins, and is a great source of fibre and lycopene, an antioxidant which has many health benefits, including protection against certain types of cancer.

Oriental Salmon In A Parcel With Noodles & Broccoli
Unwrap these aromatic parcels of salmon for a delicious treat to the senses! Baking the salmon in a paper parcel steams the fish quickly, trapping in all the goodness - heart-healthy omega-3’s and a full spectrum of amino acids, necessary for muscle growth, maintenance and repair. Eat with rice noodles and tenderstem broccoli!

Savoury Buckwheat Crepes With A Choice Of Fillings
Despite its name, ‘buckwheat’ is a member of the rhubarb family and has absolutely nothing to do with wheat! It is naturally gluten-free and has a deliciously sweet, nutty flavour. Packed with a good combo of carbohydrate and protein and plenty of vitamins and minerals, whisk up the mixture in advance and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, for a tasty treat whenever you fancy.

Cheat's Chicken Tikka Masala With Cumin Rice
A favourite CRuNCH 'fakeaway', this curry is a great source of protein, a variety of vitamins and minerals, and contains anti-inflammatory ingredients such as garlic, chilli and ginger. Balance the meal with our aromatic basmati rice, a good source of sustaining carbohydrate.

Mexican Fajitas With Rainbow Peppers
Packed with complex carbohydrate, protein and healthy fats, these delicious fajitas contain a rainbow of different coloured vegetables to help you eat your 5-a-day! We love them with grated cheese and sour cream. Top tip - don't overfill your wrap or it will fall apart!
