Balanced Recipes

At HelloFresh, we offer a variety of meals, from hearty family dinners to nutritionist-approved balanced recipes. Being mindful of your eating habits at dinner is key, but so is keeping track of what you eat during the day. Here are some tips to help maintain a balanced diet and lifestyle.

Stay hydrated: It is recommended to drink 6-8 glasses of water every day. So, always keep a bottle or glass of water near you at work, in your home or in your bag, ensuring you don’t forget to drink up.

Eat regularly: Try to stick to regular meal times throughout the day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don’t make the mistake of skipping meals or getting over-hungry, as this tends to lead to poor eating choices.

Allow treats: It’s fine to indulge in a piece of cake or cheesy pizza every now and then. Don’t try to be perfect all the time! Having some Calorie Smart snacks now and then will stop you from having sweet and salty cravings that you can’t control.

Don’t snack late at night: When you’re eating well during the day, you won’t need endless snacks at night. Bad snacking is a habit that can be easily changed.

Be prepared: Keep healthy, Calorie Smart foods in the house so that you’re always prepared for cooking balanced recipes. Stock up on fresh fruits and have nutritional, Calorie Smart snacks around you, like nuts and seeds. Bonus tip: Always have some vegetables in your freezer as a backup.

If you want to start eating more low calorie recipes at dinnertime, there are lots of ways you can make doing so even easier. A good tip is to switch out some of your favourite meals for lower calorie versions.

So, if you love basa recipes or fish and chips, you could make it lower-calorie by baking the fish with breadcrumbs instead of frying in greasy batter. Instead of baking, why not ditch the oil and go with an air fryer? Our air fryer recipe collection features many traditionally fried meals that taste just as great without the excess grease.

Mastering fakeaway recipes for a Friday night is a great way to stick to your diet goals - and your budget goals! Another way to lower your calorie intake is to plan ahead for the week. Choose which low calorie recipes you’d like to try that week and stick to it.

You can do this by signing up for a HelloFresh subscription. Here, you’ll get the pre-portioned ingredients you need delivered straight to your door, along with easy-to-follow low calorie recipes.
