This autumnal pasta dish is creamy, comforting, and packed with plants and fibre for a satiating lunch or dinner. If you want to increase the amount of protein, just add in some chicken, salmon or some tofu. Enjoy!
This is a deliciously warming and filling soup. The chickpeas give you a hearty dose of protein and the greens give you the goodness your body knows and loves.

You know I love a loaf so I couldn’t resist making an autumnal version! It’s simple to make and delicious with a warming cup of coffee or tea. The pumpkin and pecans also give it a good bump of fibre!
