Here are some tips from our experts that will help you pick up healthy ingredients – nothing exotic – from your local store and cook in minutes!

• Buy extra of long lasting vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and onions, which can form the basis of soups or stocks. Try these slimming soups if you want to lose weight.
• Keep a selection of other long-life carbohydrates such as rice (brown) and whole wheat breads
• Keep handy in your kitchen foods and spices such as garlic paste, ginger paste, crushed chillies and tamarind paste, which enhance the flavour of many dishes.
• If you’re making healthy meals for one person and do not have time to use fresh vegetables, use tinned tomatoes, tomato paste, tinned corn and other vegetables (look for ‘no added salt’ varieties) for pasta sauces, soups or gravies. Ideally fresh is better than canned. But canned is better than eating nothing at all.
• Stock chicken, fish and a variety of nuts in the freezer
• Smoothies are usually single servings and they’re great for breakfast or evening snack. Here are some healthy smoothies that can be prepared in less than 10 minutes!
• Keep dals in store room
