Eat more healthily with the latest updates to the Vitality HealthyFood catalogues
What does a healthy meal really look like? From power breakfasts to filling snacks and delicious desserts, check out our updated HealthyFood catalogue and top tips to create nutritious meals at home.
At Vitality, we are all about helping our members live healthier and more active lives. To do this, we frequently review our HealthyFood benefit to make sure that it is still relevant and gives our members a variety of foods that qualify for cash back. Our updates take into consideration various factors, such as scientific research and industry developments, to name a few.
Our strategy to help make our members' eating habits as healthy as possible can be summarised in three simple words: buy, cook, and eat.
So, to encourage you to be the healthiest you can be, we've made some changes to our HealthyFood catalogues from 6 September 2019.
1. Shop like a pro
2. Breakfast like a boss
Start the day on a positive note by having a healthy, balanced breakfast which can consist of:
- Fresh fruit and vegetables that are unseasoned, unflavoured and unbelievably good for you
- Plain fat-free milk and yoghurt
- Wholegrains, for example oats, quinoa and wholegrain bread
- Healthy proteins such as eggs, beans, salmon or pilchards
- Healthy fats like avocado, raw unsalted nuts or peanut butter with no added salt or sugar.

3. A look into your lunch and dinner options!
For lunch as well as dinner, you can continue to keep it healthy by filling up on veggies, healthy proteins, wholegrains and healthy fats.
Try out our spicy stir-fry and quick grilled chicken breast and for the kids, try these tips and tricks from Vitality moms and dads on how to pack a healthy lunchbox.
For dinner, try our Hungarian chicken paprika, or say hello to spring with this Asian-style dishes of chicken slaw or steamed fish.
4. Healthy snacks on the go
You'll be less likely to grab the nearest (probably unhealthy) snack when the hunger pangs hit if you're prepared. Fresh fruit, vegetable sticks with guacamole or fat-free plain cottage cheese as dips, raw unsalted nuts and homemade popcorn make great snacks.
5. Who says dessert can't be healthy?
Just because you're eating healthy doesn't mean you can't have a little sweetness. Keep your sugar intake within healthy levels by having fruit as dessert such as grilled pineapple topped with yoghurt and nuts, eating a date or two or make our lime yoghurt panna cotta.
6. Add an extra helping of exercise
Exercise boosts your metabolism and lowers your risk of getting lifestyle-related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. What's more, when you get active with Vitality, you'll save more when you buy HealthyFood.
