This vegan pumpkin and coconut curry is packed full of nutrition and flavour. I love adding some peanut butter to give it a beautifully nutty flavour to complement the red curry base and sneak in some extra protein.

A fresh take on pizza night, this cherry tomato pizza is topped with a nutritious walnut and spinach pesto for a nutrient-rich flavour boost. The spinach in the pesto is rich in iron and beta-carotene, which are key nutrients for energy and eye health. Walnuts not only give the pesto a delicious nutty flavour, they also support brain health and provide plant-based protein and anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats. Juicy cherry tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that supports heart health and helps protect against cell damage, along with vitamin C to boost immunity.

Dressings do not have to always be drizzled over the top. With this recipe, spoon the silky smooth dressing onto your plate first and then load up with all the green goodness.
