As winter approaches and the evenings draw darker, the temptation to reach for unhealthy choices such as takeaway increases (especially as TV season begins). Whilst everyone, including us, loves a takeaway, they’re not the healthiest or the cheapest options. We spend a whopping £9.8bn on takeaways each year in the UK alone!
So, when you’re next craving your favourite fast food, why not try one of Mindful Chef’s healthy alternatives – all ready in less than 30 minutes and packed with delicious healthy ingredients.
Sweet & sour sticky tofu, crispy kale and rice
Craving a Chinese fix? From shredded duck lettuce wraps to our vegan version of the sweet and sour classic, we’ve got you covered.

Crispy haddock & sweet potato chips

Cauliflower pizza with pesto & courgette
Typical takeaway pizzas can easily contain over 2,000 calories, not forgetting high levels of saturated fat and salt. At just 538 calories per pizza, our crisp cauliflower base is a great alternative for traditional stodgy dough.
