Spring Greens

Spring greens are one of the easiest ways to get more veg onto your plate. They’re part of the cabbage family but cook faster and have a milder flavour, making them great for quick meals. You can pan-fry, steam, or stir-fry them in under 5 minutes, and they hold up well to strong flavours like garlic, miso or pesto. They’re also packed with nutrients that support focus and energy — especially helpful for people with ADHD. Spring greens are high in fibre, which helps stabilise blood sugar and keep you fuller for longer. They also contain folate and vitamin C, both important for brain health and mood regulation. Because they’re affordable, easy to cook, and work with so many flavour bombs, spring greens are a brilliant go-to for everyday meals. Keep a bag in the fridge or stash some frozen ones for when you need something green, fast.

Soffrito Mix

Sofrito mix is the holy trinity of quick, flavourful cooking. A mix of onion, carrot and celery, it's the base of so many stews, sauces and soups. Having it pre-chopped and ready to go takes out all the faff of dicing veg at the start of cooking – perfect for days when you need to get something on fast.

Salmon

Salmon is one of the ultimate ADHD power ingredients. It’s fast, forgiving, and full of flavour—making it a dream when your energy is low or your brain is foggy. Whether it’s pan-fried, air-fried, or cooked straight from frozen, salmon always shows up. It works with almost any Flavour Bomb, from sweet to spicy to sharp, brings rich, satisfying texture to every plate, and is packed with ADHD friendly nutrition.

Chicken Thighs

Chicken thighs are an ultimate ADHD kitchen staple. They’re packed with flavour, more forgiving than breasts (so less chance of overcooking), and they stay juicy whether you're air frying, roasting, or pan-searing. Plus, they’re affordable and endlessly versatile—easy to pair with any Flavour Bomb, grain, or veg - and happy to be cooked from fresh or frozen in the air fryer, dopped into a saucy one pot, or slow fried in a pan. They've also got incredible texture with a soft juicy meat and crispy skin. If you’re going to keep one protein in your fridge or freezer, make it this.
