The 10 Kitchen Cupboard Essentials Of Nutritionist, Hayley Pedrick

November 13, 2014 by Eliza Flynn Leave a Comment

We’ve already taken a look into what Hayley Pedrick, nutritionist at Harley Street’s The Nutrition Coach, eats on a typical day so we thought we should also take a peek into her cupboards. Warning, there’s no crisps, emergency Twirls or even a naughty jar of jam in sight!

How many of these do you have in your cupboard right now?

So Hayley, what are your top ten kitchen cupboard essentials and why?
  1. Marigold Swiss Bouillon (reduced salt) –this makes such a lovely base for soups and stews and what’s more, it’s gluten-free, dairy-free and has reduced salt.
  2. Vegan pesto – I get mine from Meridian or Sacla. I prefer to minimize the amount of dairy I eat as I feel it’s over-consumed and there’s a raft of potential issues that can come with eating dairy. Pesto is your quick-fix tasty solution as it great as a spread or on salmon or pasta.
  3. Buckwheat pasta / soba noodles – these are a low GI alternative to things like rice, wheat or corn and best of all, they’re also gluten-free.
  4. Quinoa, millet, amaranth, wild and brown rice (yes, Hayley snuck FIVE ingredients into this point!) – again, these are all good staples to have in your cupboard as they’re versatile, gluten-free and full of nutrients.
  5. Beluga lentils – I get the pre-prepared ones from Merchant Gourmet which are great if you live a busy London life. These bulk out stews, soups and can be served on their own with meat or veg.
  6. Raw cacao – everyone should have raw cacao in their cupboards! You can make your own hot chocolate and add it to homemade seed and nut bars.
  7. Nuts & Seeds – I keep a big stash of nuts at home, mainly cashews, macadamias, pecans etc and always pumpkins and sunflower seeds as these go into my smoothies and as salad toppers.
  8. Ground flax – most of my smoothies contain ground flax, it’s a nice omega supplement, calming, calming and good for digestion. It’s also got the benefit of keeping you feeling fuller for longer.
  9. Pink Himalayan Sea Salt – you may think it’s no different to normal salt but it’s got a broader mineral spectrum, it’s cleaner and free from nasties.
  10. Olives – you may not know this but olives are a great anti-inflammatory and a source of omegas. If you’re in need of a snack when you’re out and about or take a lunchbox to work, these make a top snack.
  11. Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Coconut Oil – these, especially coconut oil, have a raft of uses. For example, as well as including it in your food, you can put it on hair, use it as make-up cleaner etc.
  12. Bee pollen – have these on oats in the morning or on top of salads. They’ll give your immune system a boost and they’re high in vitamin B. My kids even invent their own healthy creations and one of their favourites is nut butter topped with bee pollen.

NOTE: Maybe due to time constraints of maybe because Hayley was mentally going through all her shelves but it was like someone had pressed the fast forward button – there was a lot to capture… so much so, that our list went beyond the promised ten… I’m sure you won’t mind.
