A stir-fry is great for hectic weeknight dinners or whenever you want a quick meal: you only have to prep the vegetables and then it cooks in about 10 minutes! It is packed full of vegetables for those all important vitamins and the cashews add some protein. I also love to pair it with my baked tofu bites which are delicious and full of protein! Serve with rice or noodles (wholemeal are my favourite!) and it’s sure to be a winner!

And while this may not be an authentic stir-fry, it is packed full of flavour and nutrition. Who doesn’t love a colourful dinner? It’s also great for school (or home) lunches!
