Press London’s 28 days meal plan is great if you want to build healthy eating habits and switch to clean, plant-based eating.
Healthy eating is something that I bet we all want, but sometimes we fail either because of our busy schedules, or we find it’s too much work to stick to a meal plan & cook it every time. Find quick, easy & healthy recipes here.
I have been there, and it feels like there is a constant battle between the cravings and the need to eat healthily, and eventually, I fail and give up. I can’t even recall since when I have been trying to get on track with my eating habits, it goes well for a few days and then before I even know it, I am back to square one. The same thing happened this time, but just when I was about to give up, Press London came as a blessing and introduced me to their 28 days healthy meal plan.
I had heard of Press London’s meal plan before and even thought of giving it a try, but I never got to it. I like my food fresh, and I am not a big fan of packaged food; that’s why I was a bit sceptical before giving their meal plan a try. Now that I’ve tried their meal plan, I will share my experience with you all.
About Press London & 28 Days Meal Plan
Press London is a UK food & juice company. They have 100% plant-based foods & cold-pressed juices to help people live happier, balanced lives.
They have100% plant-based meal plans that are customised to hit all of our body’s macronutrient targets. The meals are nutritionist-designed, chef-prepared, and all plans have little but frequent meals & juices throughout the day to keep us full. Every 28 days plan comes with a set of smart scales, giving us the ability to track our weight and body fat %, muscle mass, total body water %, visceral fat, and an overall physique rating. Once the meal plan is selected that suits us the best, it is delivered every week.
The first step before choosing the perfect meal plan is to calculate the calories our body needs daily. The system asks for height, age, gender, weight, exercise routine and based on that calculates our daily calorie intake. And then, we decide what we want to achieve, if we wish to lose weight, build healthy eating habits, or feel more active. Once we have our calorie count and are clear on what we want from their meal plan, it is now time to select the meal plan.
My Goal and Meal Plan
I wanted to build healthy eating habits and switch to clean, plant-based eating with the Press London’s meal plan. I have always struggled with eating clean, so I thought the 28 days plan is a good way of getting used to it.
So, this is what my meal plan for the day looked like:
07:00 AM – I used to start my day with their cold-pressed daily celery juice.
08:00 AM – For breakfast, I had a smoothie. There were different smoothies for each day, Green Smoothie, Berry Smoothie and Creamy Smoothie. They send all the ingredients for the smoothie, all one has to do is put them in a blender and blend.
11:00 AM – It was now time for the morning snack, for which I had their Lean Green & Ginger Shot. Their Ginger Shot can either be had straight from the bottle or with a cup of hot water. I had it with water.
01:00 PM – Lunch consisted of their plant-based, super soup and protein bread. There were different soups for each day, Balance soup, Glow soup, Pea & Mint soup and Refuel Soup. I had to pour the soup in a bowl, heat it for some time, and ready.
04:00 PM – For an evening snack, I had their MisFits Protein Bar.
08:00 PM – Dinner consisted of their chef-prepared meals. For each day, there were different meals, Coconut curry, Mac & Greens and Vegan Chilli.
My Experience with Press 28 Days Meal Plan
I am happy to say that Press London has impressed me with their service and meals. Their meal plan comes with a chart telling you what to have when, it is super-easy to follow. The delivery of the meals was done on time every week, and the meals were delicious & fulfilling. Just after trying their meal plan for one week, I could see the changes. I felt more energetic, fresh and healthy. Although weight-loss was never one of my goals, I have still managed to lose a bit of weight. After being on their meal plan for three weeks, I have lost around 3 pounds.
The meal plan has made it easier for me to stay in alignment with my healthy eating goal and I haven’t gone off track even once. It has saved me so much time on the meal preparations in the past few weeks, and I feel like I have more time for myself now. Press London lives up to the claims they make and serve plant-based, nutritionist-designed and chef-prepared meals that are delicious..
If you also want to switch to healthy eating and a plant-based diet, then you should try Press London’s 28 Days Meal Plan. I am sure you’ll love it just like I did and would be happy to eat clean, wholesome food and be on track with your health goals.

It is often said, “You are what you eat” and this statement is truer than you might think it is. Healthy eating is something that I have always been fond of, but during this lockdown, I have started loving it even more, as I got a chance to try many new Healthy food recipes. I think I have become the biggest advocate of eating healthy in my family (pun intended) and I am always telling my family members about the benefits of eating healthy.
According to me the food that you consume shows on your face and affects all the areas of your life directly. When you eat clean and healthy your skin becomes clear, your mood is uplifted and you feel more energetic. Fast food may seem tempting, but the impact that it has on your health is not very good. We can’t change our habits overnight, but a few simple choices can make a huge difference.
Why Eat Healthy?
1.Improving Overall Health
Eating healthy and nutritious food can help improve your overall health, making your body stronger from within, and helping you perform day-to-day activities better.
2.Better Mood
Good food = Good mood. Healthy food not only improves physical health but also your mood. It is a tested fact that healthy food makes you feel better and uplifts your mood.
3.Reduce Weight
When healthy eating is combined with regular exercise, it can help you reduce and maintain a steady weight.
4.Prevents Heart Diseases
Healthy eating maintains the blood pressure and cholesterol level of your body, thus helps in reducing the risk of heart diseases.
5.Good skin & hair
Eating healthy food that is rich in vitamins & other nutrients can help in improving your skin and hair health over a long period of time.
The most common reason why people usually don’t like healthy food is that they think it wouldn’t taste good. There was a time when I used to think the same, but over time as I tried and experimented with new recipes, my opinion changed. My favourite recipes have to be the Cauliflower Alfredo Pasta, Sweet Potato Salad and Coriander Pesto Pasta.
When it comes to healthy eating, the thing that I used to fail miserably at the most was snacking between the meals. I would eat healthy for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but snacking was where I failed almost every day. Whenever those hunger pangs used to hit, I would always find myself reaching out for chocolates, chips, etc. So, one day I finally decided to make a list of some healthy snacks that are easy to make & also taste good.
Once done with the list, I thought why not combine them to create a 21 Healthy Snack Recipes E-Book for you and that’s what I did.
This 21 Healthy Snack Recipes E-Book has some delicious and easy-to-make recipes. Whether you want a snack for a quick bite, a family dinner, or a movie night, this e-book will come in handy, I promise. So, what are you waiting for, click here to download and indulge in tasty food almost every day.

No Indian festival is complete without food and Diwali is no exception. Here is the grand thali I prepared for Diwali this year.
It’s finally Diwali time and I couldn’t be more excited. Without a doubt, Diwali is my most favourite Indian festival.
The lights filled the streets, rangolis, card parties and whatnot, but one thing that I love most about it is the food. We all know that no Indian festival is complete without good food and Diwali is no exception.
Back in India, my Mum would always prepare a grand meal on Diwali and then serve it in those big thalis. I always try and follow the traditions and make sure that I cook something special, but this year I went a step further and prepared a Grand Diwali Thali with Shan Foods.
For the thali I decided to make Punjabi Chole, Aloo Bhaaji, Dal Tadka, Vegetable Dum Biryani, Cucumber Raita, Badam Kheer, Gulab Jamun, Popadum and Chapati. I was really excited to prepare this Grand Thali and had so much fun while cooking all the dishes. So, I thought why not share some recipes that I cooked with you all.

Add boiled rice and cook for 10-15 minutes. Make sure you are stirring it frequently.

A juice cleanse is a type of detox diet that involves consuming fruit & vegetable juice for a short period, like 3-10 days. It is a great way of giving your body the much needed break and filling it with the goodness of health improving nutrients.
A juice cleanse is something that I wanted to try for quite some time now, but because of my busy work schedule and lack of time, I couldn’t go through with it. This time while social distancing and working from home, I thought that there wouldn’t be a better time to do a juice cleanse and, I finally did it a few weeks back. Find more recipes for a healthy lifestyle here.
For all of you who don’t know what a juice cleanse is, it is a type of detox diet that involves consuming fruit & vegetable juice for a short period, like 3-10 days. You can either make the juices yourself or you can choose a cold-pressed juice package of your choice. I did it for 3 days with a juice cleanse package, in which you get 6 juices for one day. You have to drink one juice every 2 hours. One thing to remember while doing is a juice cleanse is to that you must consume lots of water. You can also have herbal tea and some fruits & vegetable, but solid foods and caffeine should be avoided for it to work effectively.

My Experience
My overall experience with the juice cleanse was pretty good. The only challenge I faced was that I was craving coffee and food throughout the day. The effects of the cleanse were visible after the first day itself. I felt more energetic, light, less bloated, and my skin looked more hydrated. My main aim of doing this cleanse was to reset my mind and to flush out all the toxins from the body, and I think I was able to achieve that. I am planning to incorporate juice cleanse into my lifestyle by making it a weekly or monthly thing, as it’s a great way to keep your body systems in check.
Things to keep in mind
2-5 days before starting a juice cleanse, start preparing your body by switching to a light and healthy diet.
Reduce the intake of sugar, alcohol, caffeine, and other harmful substances.
Try to get good sleep days before the cleanse.
So, this was my experience. I hope this was helpful and gave you some insights on how you can do a juice cleanse.
This Sweet Potato Quinoa Salad is all you need if you are looking for a super-healthy, filling and delicious salad recipe.
Hey everyone, I’m back with the next amazing recipe for the healthy lockdown recipes series! After the power-packed green smoothie and the kids’ favourite choco-cornflake muffins, I decided to conjure something super-healthy and filling which I could have for lunch or dinner, apart from breakfast or in-between snacking. So I just hunted around and found some healthful and tasteful ingredients and here it was Quinoa and Sweet Potato Salad – the yummiest, healthiest salad I’ve ever cooked or tasted.
What really is amazing about this Quinoa Sweet Potato Salad is that, it is a treat for your taste buds- with warm roasted sweet potatoes, crisped chickpeas and caramalized onions literally causing an explosion of flavours in your mouth. And you can add to the aroma with fresh rosemary, thyme or coriander. The energy kick comes from quinoa and walnuts while fresh greens add to the nutrient count of this heavenly-tasting salad. The best part is that you can have it warm or cold, without worrying about adding on flab during the lazy lockdown time.

The best part is that you can have it warm or cold, without worrying about adding on flab during the lazy lockdown time.
Lemon/ Honey mustard/ Olive oil & salt(you can use any dressing of your choice)
Instructions
Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees.
Spread the diced sweet potatoes, chopped shallots and herbs on a large sheet pan. Toss with salt and olive oil. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
Next add chickpeas to the pan and stir up all the ingredients together. Roast again for another 20 minutes.
Pour the walnuts in a bowl and toss them with maple syrup and a little salt. Add them to the pan and stir it up. Roast for 5 minutes.
The healthy and delicious salad is done. Just remove the stems of the herbs and serve the roasted mixture with cooked quinoa, baby kale and a dressing of your choice.
I recommend this recipe because the entire ingredients are easily available; generally all of us would have them or something else that we can substitute. So there isn’t a need to step out for anything. You may replace sweet potato with potato or carrot. Or add eggs, goat cheese or cottage cheese to make the salad more wholesome, which is something I usually do if I want to serve it as a meal rather than have it as a filler or snack at my work desk.
For me, brown rice also works as a nice replacement for quinoa, just to create some variety as I do mix this salad a few times a week. And of course, I can experiment with the dressing as well. So practically, I have the option to come up with a different flavour every time, depending on how creative I can be with the ingredients I have in my refrigerator or kitchen cabinets (or even the herbs in my little kitchen garden, I love that one)
Apart from the fact that the salad tastes so good and is easy to mix, I wouldn’t want to skip mentioning its nutritional value. Let me just list them ingredient-wise.
Sweet potatoes– Great source of healthy fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, they are filling but don’t result in weight gain. They even support your immune function, something that everyone wants to do at this time. Walnuts– A fistful offers a healthy supply of omega-3s and antioxidants. They support weight loss and promote gut health as well. Moreover, they support your gut health and decrease inflammation, which can keep disease at bay. Chickpeas– Packed with proteins, they are an excellent substitute for meat for vegans and vegetarians. They also add vitamins, minerals and fiber to the salad. Chickpeas are good for satiating your appetite but you can have them without worrying about gaining pounds. Shallots– Not only do they enhance the flavour of food, but also supply antioxidants, promote weight maintenance and help fight germs (which makes them all the more important right now). Quinoa– A super health food, quinoa is gluten-free and loaded with protein. It also brings sufficient amounts of all the nine essential amino acids. And it is also high in fiber, iron, magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin E, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and various beneficial antioxidants. Baby kale– Kale offers a rich supply of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins C and K, calcium, iron, and a range of other nutrients. The antioxidants in it stimulate the release of unwanted toxins from the body, which makes it an ingredient of choice the lockdown season.
Such amazing benefits are only half the reason I toss up this salad at least thrice a week. The other half is the taste! Surprisingly, my little one loves it as much as I do, so this is something I can cook up for the family rather than just myself and my husband. And the best part of the deal is that it is so filling that it is as good as a full meal, so all the time I invest in cooking it is worthwhile.
More than anything else, this salad is as guilt-free as it is delicious. The quinoa version is the best one from the weight management perspective though you can be judicious with the servings of the rice version if you prefer to keep the extra weight off.
Now that I’ve given you plenty of reasons to try this incredible Quinoa Sweet Potato Salad, go ahead and mix it up. And if you have some cool ideas for experimenting with the ingredients, do share them!
Coriander pesto is yum and super easy to make. It can be prepared with the ingredients available at home and is loved equally by children and adults.
Eating clean and healthy food has been my mantra during this lockdown and because of this; I am always on a lookout for recipes that are nutritious and tasty at the same time. Working from home has given me so much more time to experiment with food ( you can check out my other healthy recipes here) and I am trying to make some of my favourite dishes at home. And also, having a 6-year-old makes the task of preparing a healthy yet delicious meal even more challenging, as we all know how choosy children are.
I don’t know why, but any green food screams healthy to me and that’s why pesto has always been my favorite. So, the other day while going through the struggle of deciding what to make for lunch, I decided to make Coriander pesto. It turned out so good that I thought why not share the recipe with you all.
