Let’s face it, most people do not have the energy or the time to make MasterChef meals. While these types of meals are impressive, they are not necessarily needed to make a delicious and nutritious meal.

Using the basic steps of a balanced meal by adding a wholegrain, lean meat or alternative or dairy or alternative and some produce can be an easy way to create an endless variety of delicious and nutritious meals.

Corn Thins slices are a great choice for a wholegrain as it is a perfect base to many different choices. If you are short of time, topping your Corn Thins slice with 100% nut butter and sliced banana is a perfect balanced meal. Also, microwaving some baked beans and cheddar together then topping on a Corn Thins slice is another easy win.
