Wondering where the year has gone? You’re not alone! It might feel like time’s running out to achieve your health goals, but there’s still plenty of time to reset and finish the year feeling great.
While January is usually seen as the time for new habits, why wait? The last few months of the year is the perfect moment to refresh your wellness routines.
As always, there’s no such thing as the “silver bullet”, perfect routine. It’s about small, consistent steps every day rather than a complete overhaul. But to provide you with a framework for approaching these last few months, here are our four simple tips to build momentum.
We all want to cook more fresh meals, but busy schedules can make it tricky. Try these simple tips to enjoy nourishing food without the stress.
Double up on recipes like veggie stews or pasta sauces and freeze the extras. This requires no additional effort, but you’ll thank yourself later in the week.
We’re absolutely loving these protein-packed veggie meatballs at Deliciously Ella HQ at the moment. It’s the perfect back-to-school, or work, recipe to cosy up with as the evenings draw in. Both the meatballs and tomato sauce can be made ahead of time, meaning that all you need to do is cook the pasta.

Try our take on the one-pot lasagne soup trend that sent social media into a spin. Taking all the flavours of a classic veggie lasagne but without all the faff, this is a nourishing supper that you’ll make time and time again. We’ve used miso and sun-dried tomatoes to pack a rich umami punch and a crispy chickpea topping to give a satisfying crunch.
