A diet expert has revealed a selection of meals that are not only easy to whip up, but also great for your . TikTok user @migahealth, a dietician who specialises in , shared her go-to dishes on the social media platform. Cardiovascular disease, which affects the heart and blood vessels, is often linked to a build-up of fatty deposits within the body.
Among the heart-healthy meals she showcased was a lentil bolognese, complete with fresh basil and tagliatelle pasta. Paired with a side salad, it makes for "a balanced meal", according to the health guru. She also shared her vegetarian-friendly tomato soup, blending roasted bell pepper and tomato with tofu, then garnishing it with basil, homemade croutons, and pumpkin seeds.
When asked in the comments if the tofu could be replaced with meat products like chicken, the dietician responded: "You can add any protein you like!" Another soup she demonstrated featured dumplings, edamame, mushrooms, cabbage, low sodium vegetable broth, and chilli oil. Finished off with scallions and coconut aminos, she admitted: "I already want to make this one again." The dietician's meal plan also included a sumptuous cauliflower and roasted sweet potato grain bowl with crispy quinoa - adorned with a "simple vinaigrette topped with fresh parsley and pistachios" - and an ingeniously simple yet mouth-watering avocado French toast.
The latter was finished off with nutritional yeast and red pepper flakes, solidifying its place as another heart-healthy favourite. Those on the search for nutritious eats hailed @migahealth's culinary suggestions, calling her choices a "delicious week of food" in the flurry of appreciative comments. Another follower of the TikTok nutrition expert expressed anticipation to try the lentil bolognese after already enjoying a "veggie sandwich" previously posted by the dietician.
