Introduction

Are you a busy
professional who barely has time to stop work to
eat? Are you a stay at

home mom that is too busy balancing everything
(and everyone) else to stop and worry

about cooking yourself
a decent meal? Eating healthily is the most
important thing you
can
do because it can keep your energy levels up and
reduce the likelihood of you

getting sick so that you can continue to be
the superstar you are.

You dont have to spend a lot of time and effort
creating healthy meals and the recipes

in the rest of this
book can help you to achieve your health goals
without heavily
impacti
ng the rest of your day. Take time out of your
day to give yourself proper

nutrition and your body will reap the
benefits with minimal effort.

These meals are all 15 minutes or less
which means that you still have time leftover to

eat them. Each recipe
comes with full instructions on how to make them
with the
ingredient
quantities and serving sizes to help you make the
right amount for you or

your family. All recipes also have a creation
time which can help you plan your day and

pick a meal that will
suit the time you have, from 4 minutes 15!

Enjoy!

Time Saving Cooking
Tips
The recipes that
will follow in this book are quick and easy to
make and perfect if you

are strapped for time. However, there are other
things that you can do to make the

most of your time and
energy when leading a healthy lifestyle and here
are the best tips
to
do it.
1. Meal Prep

This concept involves
making the most out of your time and using short
windows of
opportunity
to get things done. For example, having 10-15
minutes in the evening while

you are cooking dinner can give you the
opportunity to chop up vegetables for

tomorrows meal. Meal
prep also involves pre-cooking some elements to
save time
later, for
example if you have time on the weekend, roast a
chicken and then you can

have cold cuts or cooked shredded chicken to
add to your meals later on in the week.

Anything you do ahead
of time to make your life easier later on is meal
prep and it is key
to
quick and healthy meals.

2. Read all instructions

Many recipe instructions have tasks to do
at the same time as another item is cooking to

help you save time and
serve it altogether. Read the cooking
instructions all the way

through before cooking and you wont make any
time costly mistakes. In addition to

this, make sure you
have read the ingredients list thoroughly and get
all of the
ingredients
out before you start. This can avoid delay times
and wasteful cooking
mi
stakes that might occur if you end up missing
some ingredients.
3.
Keep the skin
Most
people waste a ton of time peeling or removing
the skin from produce when it

actually contains a lot of fiber and
nutrients. Make sure to wash thoroughly and you
are
all set to go, no
muss, no fuss.
4. Use
decent equipment
You
can almost triple your preparation time if you
dont have the proper knives or

peelers (as well as
being a safety hazard) so make sure you have
sharp and proper
7







P a g e

cooking utensils and
you wont have to rush around finding
alternatives or substitutes

that may (or may not) work.

5. Know your cupboards

Organizing your
kitchen can save you a lot of time rushing
backwards and forwards,

keep the saucepans, trays and frying pans near
the cooker and cutlery near the cups and

plates and you will
save a bunch of time. Think about your layout and
you can avoid
spending
a lot of time trying to collect everything you
need each time.
6.
All-in-one meals
These
are the types of meals, also known as one pot
cooking which means that

everything is cooked in one pan together. This
can help to enhance flavors but also can

reduce cooking and
heating time while saving on washing up (bonus!)

7. Easy clean-up

In many cases after
cooking a large meal it can be the cleaning that
takes most of the
time
which can put you off doing a lot of cooking. If
this is the case with you. Pre-fill the

sink with warm, soapy
water to put the dishes straight into soak or if
you have a
dishwasher,
make sure it is empty so the dishes can go
straight in. While you are waiting

for things to simmer
or cook, also remember to wipe down the sides and
cooking area
too ready
for dishing up and youll find the cleanup pretty
much takes care of itself.

important meal of the day and wakes your body up

Benefits

The oats in this

Egg Veggie Muffin
Tins
These deliciously
easy breakfast treats are so diverse you can mix
and match what
vegetabl
es you have leftover in the fridge and just throw
them in depending on what

you fancy. Even though they take up a whole 15
minutes to make, they make two

batches so pop them in the fridge and you
have 2 days covered (so really they only take

7 and a half minutes
per batch!).
Benefits

Eggs are full of
protein, healthy fats and nutrients that are
guaranteed to give you the

energy and boost you need to quell any hunger
cravings and keep you going until lunch.

actually help to reduce

the risk of cancer (particularly in the colon).

Almond Fruit Oatmeal

For when you want to
sit down and pay attention to what you eat but
dont have the
time to
spend on cooking, oatmeal is the way forward! It
is completely customizable for

toppings and you can make things extra
healthy by removing the milk and just using

water. This recipe is
creamy, delicious and completely guilt free as it
combines fruit,
nuts
and fiber to give you a great all-rounder to
start your day.
Benefi
ts
Adding almonds to
oatmeal is particularly beneficial because it
provides an array of
an
tioxidants that is particularly useful for
protecting against aging and environmental

stresses that are
placed on our bodies. The powerful antioxidants
can also reduce cell
ag
eing and act as anti-cancer properties to avoid
growth. If you are quitting smoking,

almonds are also
helpful to boost lung regeneration and the damage
caused to your
body.

recipe is also beneficial because it contains
less hormones and
bacte

means that it is accessible for those

who live a vegan
lifestyle or have intolerances.

Chia Banana Toast

perfect combination of

creamy and crunchy which provides a

Salad
for breakfast may seem a bit strange but this
fruit salad is sweet, delicious and

refreshing and would
make an excellent change from cereal or toast.
The poppy seeds
add an
extra dimension while providing nutritional

an excellent option if you are looking to get
most of your 5 a day in

superfood and excellent for boosting

the immune system.

which
can promote healthy skin, bones and teeth while
also protecting eye health. The

B6 in kiwis is
particularly beneficial for breastfeeding or
pregnant women and can

reduce the likelihood of birth defects, cancer or
heart diseases.
The
mangoes in this dish should not be overlooked
either and contain fiber to keep you

feeling full while
also helping to lower cholesterol and fight
against cancer. In addition

to this, mangoes can help to reduce the
amount of skin breakouts while also improving

eye health and
reducing dry eye symptoms.

Superfood Tomato
Omelet
Omelets are an
excellent way to sneak vegetables and superfoods
into breakfasts
without
anybody knowing which makes this recipe
incredibly family friendly. Being easy

to make, healthy and
extremely filling this is an ideal meal if you
have a busy day
planned
and wont be able to stop until lunch because
you wont have to!
Bene
fits
The hemp seeds in
this omelet truly are a superfood because they
contain amino acids
tha
t the body needs but cannot produce itself. They
have a high amount of calcium per

serving as well as
having omega-6 fatty acids which help with
balancing hormones. The

fiber contained in them are also helpful for
reducing sugar cravings and cleaning the

colon to reduce the
risk of cancer.
The
flaxseeds should not be discounted either because
they contain omega-3 fatty acids

that help to reduce
the risk of cancer and hinder tumor growth and
progress for those
with
the disease. They can lower cholesterol and also
help with postmenopausal
