Eating well, delicious recipes for wellbeing.

May is Sleep Awareness Month, and while most conversations focus on bedtime routines, there’s something just as important happening earlier in the day:

What we eat.

Food plays a powerful role in how we feel - our energy, our mood, and ultimately how well we rest. And often, it’s the evening meal that makes the biggest difference.

We believe in delicious taste for a healthier life. That means creating meals that don’t just taste incredible, but also help you feel balanced, nourished, and ready to properly unwind.

This is where simple, plant rich food, and a drizzle of real flavour, comes into its own.

The Connection: Food, Mood & Sleep

When meals are:

• Lighter and balanced

• Rich in plant-based ingredients

• Full of natural flavour

…they’re more likely to leave you feeling satisfied, not sluggish.

Heavy, overly rich meals can sit with you into the evening. But meals built around vegetables, grains, and simple proteins help your body relax and reset—supporting a more restful night.

The key? Keeping things simple, and making them delicious enough to stick to.

Why our Drizzles make it easier

Eating well isn’t usually about knowing what to do, t’s about making it realistic. That’s where your drizzles come in:

• They add instant flavour to simple ingredients

• They make plant-based meals more exciting

• They help turn “healthy” meals into something you genuinely enjoy

  
  

No complexity. Just better food, made easier.

Your Sleep-Supporting Weekly Meal Plan

A week of meals designed to be nourishing, flavourful, and easy to fit into real life:

Monday – Sweet Chilli Chicken & Quinoa Bowl

Serves 6

A balanced, feel-good start to the week

This bowl brings together protein, whole grains, and roasted vegetables—finished with a bold sweet chilli flavour that makes healthy eating anything but boring.

Ingredients

450g boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch wide strips

Drizzle It! Sweet Chilli Dressing

2-3 large sweet potatoes, peeled

1 large can chickpeas, drained, rinse, and dried well

350g cooked quinoa

120g of mixed baby salad salad, or Rocket

Pickled Red Onion slices

60g chopped roasted salted pistachios

75g crumbled feta cheese

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Drizzle the chicken with a generous amount of Sweet Chilli Dressing, toss to coat the meat and then set aside for 10 minutes or up to 24 hours in the fridge.

Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Cut into 1/2-inch thick half moon slices and place on one of the prepared baking sheets. Drizzle with Sweet Chilli Dressing. Arrange in an even layer.

Spread the chickpeas on the second prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with Sweet Chilli Dressing, season well. Toss chickpeas and make sure they are well-coated and spread them out well on the sheet.

Roast the sweet potatoes and chickpeas stirring with a spatula once or twice, until the potatoes are tender and caramelized in places, 25 minutes, and the chickpeas are a deep golden brown, they will take about 35 minutes. 

Meanwhile, sauté the chicken. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add the chicken, reduce heat to medium, and cook without stirring until deeply browned on one side, about 6 minutes. Flip with tongs and cook on the second side until no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes more. Set aside.

Build the bowls. Place rocket in each bowl, spreading out to the sides of the bowl. Place Quinoa in the bowl,  add the chicken, chickpeas, red onions, pistachios, and feta cheese in small piles around the sides of the bowl. Drizzle with more Sweet Chilli Dressing and serve immediately.

Small handful rocket

50g Feta, crumbled into large pieces

Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7. Put the cherry tomatoes and pepper strips onto a large baking tray, in a single layer. Drizzle with 2-3 tbsp of Balsamic Dressing.  Toss to coat.

Remove from the heat. Add the parsley, season well, stir and spread out on a platter. Start to layer the other salad elements on top, add ½ the roasted peppers and tomatoes, then ½ the rocket.
