Here are some great spring recipe ideas that make the most of the season’s produce.

The sun is shining, the breeze is warm, and the gardens are beginning to bloom. It’s springtime! This amazing season grows some of the most delicious produce that can make your breakfast, lunch and dinner pop with flavour and nutrients.

Breakfast bowls and smoothies recipe ideas

Spring is the season of some amazing fruits such as bananas, strawberries, blueberries and grapefruit. Putting a handful of each along with some organic yoghurt and milk (of any variety) into a blender will create a great on-the-go breakfast for busy schedules.

A colourful breakfast bowl with some soaked or toasted oats, cinnamon, yoghurt and fresh mandarin, banana and berries will help keep you full and energetic for the day.

Salads and Stir Fry

Fresh avocado, peppers, celery, cucumber, tomato and spinach are all available in abundance during spring. All of these and more are the base of a great salad bowl with the addition of some proteins such as egg, chicken or salmon to bring it all together.

Stir fry is also a great way to pack a bunch of healthy ingredients into one amazing dish with some spring beans, onion, courgette, leek and mushrooms which are all in season. You can add any flavour to a stir fry base such as soy, fish, and oyster sauce, honey, or peanut butter, which will all develop amazing flavours with some rice, noodles, or any other carbohydrate to add in the mix.

Vegetable bakes and roasts

Weeknight dinners are best when they’re quick, easy, and fulfilling! Turning a typical lasagne into a smorgasbord of spring veg and flavour is a great way to get your fill of healthy produce. You can even replace the lasagne sheets with sliced eggplant if you’re watching your carb intake. Adding some egg and flour to the mix instead of lasagne sheets can also produce a great veggie bake that refrigerates and reheats well.

One-pot roasts are also a great go-to dish for weeknights. Roasting vegetables such as potato, parsnip, cauliflower, carrot and other staple roast veg are in their prime during spring. Surrounding a roast chicken or pork with these vegetables is a great set-and-forget option for dinner and will produce amazing flavours as the juices from the produce and the roast develop together in the oven.
