Are you sold yet? These delicious, sweet and sticky tenders are perfect served to your friends for a simple yet memorable dinner. They also freeze well and can form the basis of so many other meals for yourself, so they are great for meal prepping too.

This is one of my favourite things to meal prep at the start of the week for a quick and nutritious breakfast or snack (or even dessert!) While chia can seem expensive, a little goes a long way and it can work out to as little as 25 cents per serve! There are not many other foods that can compete with that for the nutritional punch it packs as it’s a great source of fibre, protein and omega-3s.

Packed with protein and colourful vegetables, this wholesome and satisfying meal is a nutritious twist on a classic favourite. Having good-quality protein sources such as organic eggs and chicken with a meal will provide all the essential amino acids needed to build and repair the body, along with making important hormones such as serotonin, melatonin and growth hormones.

There is a dish that went viral on TikTok using ramen noodles and Asian-style sauces. I wondered what would happen if I reinvented it with some simple ingredients that I think every student would have in their pantry. Did I expect it to be one of the tastiest dishes I’ve made? No. Did I realise that I would now be tossing a bowl together whenever I didn’t feel like cooking a full meal? No. Did both of these things happen? Absolutely! Seriously, try it yourself — it’s not just for students.

Spaghetti and meatballs is comfort food personified, but what student has the time, money and fridge space to buy
a million ingredients to craft the perfect gourmet meatballs? I’m not a student, but this is still my favourite way to make fast and fabulous meatballs using a supermarket hack and minimal equipment. Show me a student who will say no to more time and money.

I can’t ever get enough potatoes in my life. I’m addicted and the fennel and pine nuts in this recipe take them to another level.
