Sainsbury's meal planner

I have to admit that I have been cheating to my dearest Sainsbury's later. Now I feel very guilty and obliged to tell the world about the Meal Planning ideas.

I have been using Sainsbury's meal planner on and off for at least 2 years. For some reason I stopped a year ago but it is a fantastic thing for a woman/family who decided to take organised approach to food consumption. Organised approach means you can achieve your goals: from eating healthier to non-starving weight loss. Sainsbury's website can definitely help you plan your meals and buy the ingredients so you save time and get into the habit of planning all your meals in advance so you are less likely to choose unhealthy options or indulge.

The main TIP I can give about Sainsbury's meal planner: swap basic and budget ingredients for higher value ones if you can afford it. Also top up your vegetables intake as Sainsbury's plan are relatively short on them. On top of that do not be lazy and prepare your own ratatouille for example rather than get cheap and not-so-healthy tinned one!

Another TIP: when you check out a particular meal planner it means that you automatically get cupboard essentials in your basket. Make sure to delete stuff you've already got before checking the basket out. 

Once you try all the meals you will come across the easy recipes you like the most and will stick to them. Once again, Sainsbury's is fantastic for the inexperienced online grocery shopper and someone who is not used to cook all the meals at home!

Our favourite easy and delicious recipes are:

Garlic mushroom and turkey bake

Hebry tomato and mozzarella chicken 

Stuffed aubergines 

Mediterranean chicken bake

Sweet potato and chicken hotpot
