Healthy pork recipes

November 30, 2022

The pork we put in your Mindful Chef recipe boxes is always free-range, 100% British, and as succulent as they come. It’s quick to cook, full of protein and low in salt. Which is why your healthy pork recipes can bring all these new flavours to your plate. Like our silky meatballs in a jammy tomato sauce and a quick-as-a-flash traybake that pairs pork with apples and fragrant tarragon, and a stir fry that doubles down on coconut and chilli heat and is on the table in 15 mins.

Are you ready for loads of healthy pork recipes lovers that will fill you up, taste great, and get you inspired? Keep on scrolling!

Why is pork healthy? 

Recipes we think are healthy focus on naturally low fat cuts of pork. Think free-range pork loins, free-range pork mince, and free-range pork valentine for starters. 

As part of a balanced diet, pork is a great substitute when you’re looking to cut down on your red meat consumption, and as well as being high protein (to fill you up) pork gives us:

  • Vitamin B1 (thiamin)
  • Vitamin B1 (niacin)
  • Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)
  • Vitamin B6
  • Vitamin B12
  • Phosphorus
  • Potassium
  • Selenium
  • Zinc.
