One-pot meals are not only convenient, but a great way to boost nutrition, and can provide good amounts of protein thanks to meat, grains, beans or legumes. The use of vegetables together with herbs and spices will provide a wide range of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits, and one-pots are often a good source of fibre, thanks again to the veg and any grains or beans that are included.

From one-pot chicken recipes to easy one-pot pasta ideas, we have lots of ideas for you to try. Also take a look at our healthy slow-cooker recipes and healthy comfort food recipes.
