Your New Year's Resolution: A Healthier, Slimmer You With Easy Bean, The Original, Tastiest One-Pot Meals
26 Nov 12
Over the season of goodwill, mince pies and Christmas pud we
each put on an average of half a stone, according to figures from the British
Dietetic Association.*
One way of going into the New Year with a resolve for
healthy eating when you don’t have time for home cooking is to include Easy
Bean ready prepared meal pots in your food routine.
Easy Bean’s pots are not a diet food but they are wholesome,
delicious and authentic. They are a low calorie boon to anyone focused on
healthy eating as they are naturally low in fat and salt and high in fibre.
Packed full of pulses and chunky veg, each 320g pot provides 2 to 3 of your
five-a-day.
Christina Baskerville, MD of Easy Bean, says: “It’s so easy
to over-indulge at Christmas - many of us do, with temptations galore at every
party and meal. Some of the benefits of Easy Bean are that the meals help you
eat well, fill you up and save you time so shedding a few unwanted pounds in
January can be more straightforward than you think.”
For example, the Moroccan Tagine pot contains 211 kcal and
8g of fat per 320g and is a delicious mix of chickpeas, aubergine and butternut
squash infused with aromatic spices. New Mexican Chilli - Fairtrade red beans
with sweet pepper in a richly spiced tomato and jalapeno chilli sauce -
contains 214 kcal and 5.8g of fat per 320g. These are nutritious and filling
lunches.
The one-pot meals are based on authentic recipes from around
the world and all but the new seasonal product are dairy and gluten free.
Cooked in small batches in the Easy Bean Somerset kitchen (without the use of
starch thickeners) they taste as good as homemade.
As well as being ethically sourced and hand prepared, the
meal pots are multi-award winning and completely natural. They can be bought at
many Waitrose, Booths and independent stores and online from Waitrose, Ocado
and naturalgrocery.co.uk. See http://www.easybean.co.uk/where-to-buy.html
They taste delicious on their own or can be combined with
healthy salads or rice to make a substantial evening meal. Easy Bean promises
‘Lunch on the go or supper in a mo’.
Easy Bean was established in 2007 by Christina Baskerville,
the daughter of a Warwickshire farmer who has worked in Zambia, the Sudan,
Belize and Bolivia helping to improve farming in those countries.
Christina and her staff prepare Easy Bean pots at a
converted dairy farm near Castle Cary, Somerset, and the range is inspired by
her work in different countries
The Easy Bean range of dishes is New Mexican Chilli,
Moroccan Tagine, Indian Sambar, French Cuisinées, Spanish Puchero and African
Palava plus the seasonal pot, Pasta e Fagioli.
In her five years of running Easy Bean, Christina has gained
six Gold Great Taste Awards and her products have been described by Food
Magazine as ‘As close to home-cooked as you’ll get in a tub’.
