Published on 29th Dec, 2025
Let’s be honest, January usually feels about fifty days long. Between the chilly weather and the post-festive slump, we’re all looking for healthy meal ideas that taste good and help us feel good. This month, we’re focusing on nutritious recipes that champion seasonal winter veg, gut-friendly ingredients, and high-protein meals. Whether you’re trying some new meatless meals for Veganuary or just want to up your fibre intake, these dishes are designed to help you feel your best without spending hours in the kitchen.
Broccoli Super Bowl Salad
This isn’t just a salad, it’s a meal prep masterpiece. Featuring seasonal superstars like beetroot and carrots, this bowl is as vibrant as it is filling. We’ve used quinoa as the base because it’s a grain packed with goodness, naturally providing both protein and fibre to keep those energy levels steady while you tackle your January to-do list.

Harissa Cod Tray Bake
If you’re looking for a low-calorie dinner that doesn't feel like your average diet food, then this is it. Cod is a fantastic lean protein, and when paired with lentils, you’re getting a double win of protein and fibre. Why does that matter? It helps with satiety, meaning you’re much less likely to find yourself rummaging through the snack cupboard an hour later.
Supports: Protein & fibre intake.

Supports: Protein intake and meat-free eating.

Pear and Parsnip Soup
Soup is basically liquid comfort in a bowl, and this one is a nutrient powerhouse. By using seasonal fruit and veg, you're getting a great source of fibre. Plus, parsnips contain manganese, which is linked to reducing tiredness and fatigue. Perfect for those dark January afternoons when you need a little pick-me-up.
Supports: Energy & fibre intake.

Turmeric Pork Skewers with Supergrain Salad
We’ve invited turmeric and garlic to the party here! These two ingredients are often linked to supporting immunity during the sniffle season. This dish is a power pair for your plate; the pork provides the muscle-supporting protein, while the supergrains deliver the digestive-friendly fibre your body loves.
Supports: Immunity, protein & fibre intake.

Teriyaki Salmon Bowl
We all know oily fish is good for us, but did you know it’s basically fuel for your focus? Salmon is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to promote brain health. Tossed with a sweet-salty teriyaki glaze, it’s a smart (and delicious) way to get your mid-week meal mojo on.
Supports: Brain health.

Mixed Bean Chilli and Flatbreads
Let’s talk about fibre. It’s often the most overlooked macronutrient, yet it’s so important for our systems. This mixed bean chilli is an easy, budget-friendly way to seriously up your intake. It’s thick, smoky, and goes perfectly with a piece of warm flatbread for dipping.
Supports: Fibre intake.

Chinese Vegetable Stir Fry
Craving a fakeaway? Skip the delivery apps and whip this up instead. It’s a healthy alternative that you can easily bulk out with extra peppers, broccoli, and snap peas. In fact, it’s so veg-heavy you can easily tick off 3 of your 5-a-day in a single sitting.
Supports: Fibre intake.
Ready in: 15
Serves: 2
Super Fruity Overnight Oats
Breakfast, sorted. Oats are a secret weapon because they contain beta-glucan, a type of soluble fibre linked to heart health and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. Prep these the night before with your favourite frozen berries, and future-you will be very grateful tomorrow morning.
Supports: Fibre intake & maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.
Ready in: 10 mins plus overnight chilling
