The week

Why this week

A couple of nicer meals, a couple of cheap ones, nothing that makes you wince at checkout.

Two people is the sweet spot. Most things get used up, and leftovers make lunch.

Every ingredient checked. Meat and fish are out, including hidden bouillon and fish sauce.

The quickest meal is Avocado feta oat crumble at 10 minutes and the slowest is Chickpea ratatouille with bread at 45. Across the week you get 5 different main proteins, around 20g of protein per serving, 20 meals in 30 minutes or under, and 7 that double up well if you want to cook once and eat twice.
