20 of our all-time healthiest recipes

Mediterranean baked hake

The Mediterranean diet is thought to be one of the healthiest in the world thanks to its use of heart-healthy fats, such as olive oil, and lean proteins, such as white fish. Here, hake is baked with tomatoes, peppers and olives for a Med-style dinner that's satisfying, yet good for you.

Healthy bean salad

You'll certainly get a good dose of fibre from this colourful salad, thanks to the green beans, kidney beans and cannellini beans. Not only is it packed with plant foods, it also comes finished with a green tahini dressing to boost the good fats.

Miso tofu soup

Not only is this silken noodle soup high in protein yet low in calories, it's also packed with gut healthy goodness. The miso-rich noodle broth is smooth and creamy without the addition of dairy, and the addition of a jammy egg ups the protein. The fermentation process used to make miso gives beneficial bacteria in the gut a boost.
