In winter we stay inside more and, if you're anything like me, the cold weather makes me feel hungrier! Last year I discovered a quick, nutritious,delicious soup I could make that made me feel all warm inside without needless calories and it can be ready in 15 minutes. I make it in bulk and keep it handy so whenever I feel peckish I grab a cup of soup - or two. It helps me get my daily vegetable intake, makes me feel warm and importantly full. Great before your main meal too! The recipe came from discovering the great new range of frozen vegetable mixes in the freezer. My favourite is Watties Super Mix because it doesn't contain vegetables like corn or peas which have a higher carbohydrate content. The little blocks of spinach are fabulous for the soup too giving it lots of flavour. And there are countless variations you can make to keep it interesting all winter long.

 If you're getting a craving for something sweet in the evening - try some berries. A little dish of fresh raspberries gives a delicious burst of sweetness and is sure to bring a smile to your face.
Fresh is always best of course but even out of season you can bring out berries from the freezer to quickly defrost - add some yoghurt and again you've got a healthy answer to your sweet tooth. As a bonus berries have anti-oxidants and are relatively low in kilojoules. Frozen berries are still relatively affordable compared to bars of chocolate or bags of sweets and are guilt-free!
