Healthy Recipes You Need to Try this Summer

Summer is a time when we overhaul our eating habits and embrace everything natural, for a time at least... If you're currently on a health kick, we thoroughly recommend trying some of our favourite healthy summer recipes below. They embrace having a little of what you love and using organic, natural produce where possible. That's good in our books.

Pasta is one of the things I crave the most when I’m eating healthily, but this recipe lets you enjoy a little of what you love along with a whole host of goodness. A tumble of angel hair pasta, prawns, lemon and parmesan gives you all of the flavour with a fraction of the calories.

Pesto is so simple, but so comforting and delicious stirred into a big bowl of freshly cooked pasta. But it is also packed with calories (even if they are mostly from healthy fats), we love Monique’s take on pesto using creamy avocado instead of the usual olive oil. Lighter but still incredible.

A combination of milk and Matcha green tea leaf powder, this angelic cup will give you a caffeine boost as well as a burst of anti-oxidants.
