Less-Mess Meals

Fewer dishes and more flavour

After a busy day, the last thing you want to tackle is the pile of dishes from your homecooked dinner. This month, we’re helping you skip the dishes (literally) with five of our favourite less-mess meals. You’ll be cutting back on clean-up time but not on flavour with these easy-to-make healthy dishes that come together in just one pot or sheet pan.

Thanks to our friends at Revive Wellness for developing this nutritionally balanced meal plan.
