Sometimes, your family relies on you even if you’ve been a super busy working mummy. After all, mummy can’t make excuses to get out of prepping a wholesome meal for the kids, right? Check out how you can prepare a healthy meal in less than 10 minutes…

1. Chicken Caesar salad

Chop up some romaine lettuce into a mixing bowl. Add in one cup each of shredded Parmesan cheese, three-quarter cup of fat-free Caesar dressing and top off with a few pieces of boiled chicken breast.

2. Chicken wrap

Put some (sliced) fresh tomatoes on a light whole-wheat wrap. Add in some lettuce, real bacon and some chicken cubes (boiled or roasted). Flavour with light mayo if you wish before wrapping up.

3. Shrimp delight

Fry some garlic with olive oil under low heat. Add in a cup of large shrimp. Squirt in some fresh lemon juice when it’s almost done.

Fry a handful of chicken strips with olive oil. Add in cauliflowers, a can of sliced water chestnuts and low sodium seasoning. When it’s almost done throw in some shredded Chinese cabbage. This is a perfect meal for those who are watching their weight.

5. Tuna with spinach wrap

Place some spinach and a can of tuna in a bowl. Add in a handful of chopped lettuce and shredded cheese. Mix with low-calorie dressing. Spread the mixture on a whole-wheat wrap and enjoy.

6. Taco salad

Place a cup each of 5 different green vegetables in a bowl (lettuce, cabbage, spinach, anything you like). Add in three cups of low fat chili paste (red or green), 2 cups of shredded cheese and some cooked minced beef. Make sure the chili paste is hot so the cheese will melt.
