Satiating Hummus

You will only need 10 minutes to make this homemade hummus recipe, to be enjoyed as a side dish or an appetizer. Serve it with rusks, pita bread, raw vegetables or as a side to grilled meat.

Tip: Perfect for weekday lunches since hummus is made with chickpeas and will satiate hunger while providing you with energy for the day.

 

Fresh Greek Salad

Spending your day on the go means you need fresh food to restore your energy.

Drizzle red wine vinaigrette and fresh mint to bring out all the flavours!

 

Original Lemon and Ricotta Pasta

15 minutes tops: that’s how long it takes to prepare this delicious pasta recipe.

For extra crunch, add some arugula and pine nuts. A healthy and truly delicious meal!
