New Year Healthy Eating with Mindful Chef is just what you need to kick start 2021 on a positive note. I was lucky to try a Mindful Chef recipe box just before Christmas. The three vegan meals I selected were nutritious and delicious, with easy-to-follow instructions. It was a pleasure to have all the ingredients delivered to my door with everything I needed to create a healthy meal in under thirty minutes. New Year’s Healthy Eating with Mindful Chef is worth considering if you want to improve your diet in 2021.
Mini Portobellos with Mexican Chipotle Rice Ingredients
“We loved the smoky chipotle flavours, crunchy sweetcorn, protein-packed kidney beans, healthy avocado, juicy portobello mushrooms and the zingy taste of lime,” Homegirl London.
My Healthy Eating Recipe Box Experience
When asked if I’d like to try healthy home-delivered meals from Mindful Chef, I said yes. I selected vegan recipes, and healthy recipe boxes and family recipe boxes were also featured. After reviewing the six tempting vegan meals, we settled on Mini Portobellos with Mexican Chipotle Rice because my partner loves Mexican food. We chose the Jackfruit Puttanesca with Garlic Bean Mash because we hadn’t cooked with Jackfruit before. The Creamy Coconut Chickpea Korma sounded lovely, so that had to be on our list. In January, you can expect 160 new recipes, including vegan, meat, poultry and fish, with a focus on gluten-free and dairy-free.
Jackfruit Puttanesca with Garlic Bean Mash
“It was my first time cooking with jackfruit, and it tasted wonderful after being simmered with tomatoes, capers and olives. The cannellini bean mash was simple to make and tasted amazing,” Homegirl London.
The meal kits are put together using fresh local ingredients. The British meat is 100% ethically sourced with grass-fed lamb and beef, the fish is sustainably caught, and the chickens/eggs are 100% free-range. The meal kits arrive individually packaged in a paper bag with the meal number clearly labelled on the front. I put the relevant ingredients in the fridge and left the cans and non-refrigerated items in the paper bags. You receive the exact ingredients for each recipe, so you must prepare and cook. This is an excellent idea because you don’t have to seek out specific spices that you will only use once. It also cuts down on food waste which gets the big thumbs up from me.
Creamy Coconut and Chickpea Korma
“Wow, this dish was beautifully creamy and full of flavour. It was my favourite recipe thanks to the korma spice, chickpeas, spinach, carrots and ginger kick,” Homegirl London.
I followed the recipe book’s instructions when I was ready to cook each meal. The instructions were straightforward, so I felt in complete control. The finished recipe is illustrated with a beautiful picture, and my plated dish looked very similar, which made me happy. All three meals were tasty and filling, and I didn’t need to snack in the evening, which was great because I’d been snacking a bit too much lately!
Recipe Book
“The recipe book gives you simple cooking instructions and tells you how many calories, carbs, fat and protein each serving contains,” Homegirl London.
After trying the Mindful Chef recipes, I would recommend these to others. It is brilliant for busy people because it removes the food shopping part. You can try new, tasty, healthy recipes without planning what to eat. In the process, you become more confident at cooking and pick up a few tips. I liked that you get a breakdown of calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat so you can keep an eye on what you eat. Overall, it was a brilliant experience, and I got to try food that I wouldn’t usually cook at home, although I will now because I feel more creative!

“All the ingredients you require to create the dish are measured out, so all you have to do is chop, cook and enjoy,” Homegirl London.
If you are thinking about healthier eating during 2021, look at the Mindful Chef website. You can order the weekly recipe kits for one person, two people or a family. Choose from two to five meals, and everything will be handled. You can opt out or pause the recipe delivery scheme whenever possible, making it hassle-free. Aside from weekly recipe kits, they sell healthy small-batch frozen meals, soups, broths and smoothies. I hope you enjoy your healthy eating in 2021, and you can thank me later!
