This Bougie, Sustainable Veg Box Is The Easiest Way To Eat Better

As the remnants of mince pies and festive fizz cling on like a stubborn ex, January often hits us with the sobering realisation that, perhaps, our bodies are not meant to enjoy that level of feasting for so long. ‘New Year, New Me’, we always say, as we grapple with the aftermath of indulgences and ponder how to undo the damage done by unfiltered access to tubs of crinkly wrappered sweets. But fear not, dear reader, for this is not another preachy resolution tale and you’ll find no new fads to try here. After all, let’s be real - crash dieting and draconian resolutions are about as sustainable as a snowman in July. In fact, a better, more successful path to better eating could simply start with eating better, higher quality ingredients.

Enter then Abel & Cole, whose sustainable groceries are the perfect way to get excited about what you’re putting on your plate. And the best thing about them is that its organic, pesticide-free fruit, vegetables, meat and fish aren’t only good for you, but they’re good for the planet too.

Abel & Cole have so many free and easy recipes using ingredients featured in their weekly boxes

There’s no denying that we often enter the new year feeling sluggish, bloated, and in desperate need of vitamins. The answer? Eat more veg! You don’t have to do to the extremes of Veganuary or commit to a juice cleanse, but upping the amount of quality vegetables on your plate is a smart way to put yourself on the path to dietary righteousness. Abel & Cole offers weekly carbon-neutral deliveries of fruit and veg fresh from the local fields of its trusted growers, either as customisable boxes or pre-chosen seasonal selections. With recent research suggesting we should be devouring somewhere in the region of 30 individual types of fruit and veg a week, having some of the highest quality produce land on your doorstep each week will inspire you to get stuck in. Especially when Abel & Cole are offering a 50% discount on your first and fourth fruit and veg boxes when you subscribe to their weekly delivery service this January.

Still fancy some meat in your diet? Then make it the best it can be with high-welfare, organic meat and top-quality, sustainably sourced fish. Responsible sourcing of organic meat and fish is not just a checkbox on the ethical eating list; it's a commitment to the well-being of both the animals and the ecosystems they inhabit. Organic meat and fish come from animals that roam free, fed on a diet that mirrors their natural inclinations. It's like a luxury spa retreat for your steak or salmon, resulting in flavours that dance on your taste buds and a clear conscience to savour them.

So, go on - put the usual crash diets that never work aside and bring it back to basics with the kind of quality ingredients that make you want to eat better and do better by the world around you.
