Spring is finally here, bringing warmer weather and longer days. It’s the perfect time for a bit of spring cleaning, and with a plenty of new, fresh produce in season, a great time to add some healthy dishes to your repertoire.

Here are 4 easy ways to spring clean your eating habits, keeping you going through work, workouts and play.

Breakfast: upgrade with oats

Oats contain both soluble and insoluble fibre, making them the perfect start to the day. They give you slow burning energy whilst also lowering your cholesterol. Whether you fix yourself a bowl of muesli, cook up a bowl of porridge or soak them overnight, oats are super filling and perfect for topping with your favourite fruits.

Where to order:

Craft Kitchen’s Muesli Jar is the ideal to-go option that’ll help keep your energy up all day. Or order the Raw Power Bowl from Greenleaf Organics, an epic salad bowl that includes house made hummus, seed crackers and falafels.

Lunch: add some carbs

Adding carbs to your lunchbox will keep you going all day: think quinoa, barley and brown rice, and starchy veggies like potato, sweet potato, corn and beetroot. You can even keep it simple with fresh sourdough or a crunchy bread roll. The best bit? A carb-boosted lunch will help curb those afternoon sugar cravings.

Where to order:

Head to Bird on a Wire for a classic Chicken Banh Mi with grilled chicken, pate, pickled veggies served in a fresh baguette. Or for something a little bit different, order the Winter Bird Bowl from Little Bird Unbakery, with pumpkin, cashew cheese, red rice and quinoa pilaf and plenty of raw veggies.

Snacks: Juice it up

Freshly-squeezed juices are packed with vitamins and minerals, everything from B vitamins to folate. Think beyond OJ – try pineapple, green apple and mint, or kale, watermelon and pear – delicious! After something more substantial? Try a smoothie – they retain the fibre of the fruits and veggies you add for a filling, low-GI treat that’s much healthier than chocolate or a bikkie.

Where to order:

The Goodlife’s Berry Sunrise Smoothie is a delicious blend of banana, berries, honey and almond milk. Or grab a Berry Cacao Shake from Street Organics, made with your choice of milk; anything from full cream to coconut.

Dinner: fill up on veggies

The benefits of a plant-based diet are well known, especially if you eat plenty of green, leafy veggies like kale, spinach, and bok choy. Head to your local Thai or Vietnamese takeaway and ask for extra veggies on your stir-fry for a nutrient-heavy dinner that’ll help keep your energy levels constant.  

Where to order:  

Monday’s Wholefoods Zen Bowl is made up of buckwheat noodles, brussel sprouts, broccoli, fresh herbs, tempeh, sesame, and pour over coconut broth. Or order Poke Poke’s Uber Bowl, a special bowl made for UberEATS packed with fresh fish, rice, pickles and lashing of salad.
