Before grilling, marinade chicken breasts in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs. Along with a side of steamed broccoli, pair with roasted sweet potatoes.

Emma also assembles hummus-based nutritious snacks including sliced vegetables and roasted chickpeas. She makes tiny amounts of almond milk chia pudding for dessert and tops with fresh fruit.
“Eating heart-healthy doesn’t have to be boring,” Emma explains grinningly. “To keep things interesting, concentrate on fresh, minimally processed foods and play about with spices.”
