\nChef, cookbook author and television personality Jamie Oliver<\/a> joined “Good Morning America” on Tuesday to help home cooks kickstart the new year with a healthy meal plan.\n<\/p>\n

\nOliver shared several recipes and tips from his new cookbook, “Eat Yourself Healthy,” to prep nourishing meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.\n<\/p>\n

\nCheck out the full recipes below.\n<\/p>\n

Mothership Overnight Oats<\/p>\n

\n“A quick batch of overnight oats that will sit happily in the fridge for up to 3 days, ready to be transformed with all kinds of different flavors, is a really helpful, nutritious, delicious thing to have in your life,” Oliver writes in his book alongside this recipe.\n<\/p>\n

\nMakes 6 portions
Time: 10 minutes, plus overnight soaking\n<\/p>\n

\nIngredients
2 ripe bananas (12 ounces)
3 cups reduced-fat milk or your favorite unsweetened, fortified plant milk
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 apples (12 ounces)\n<\/p>\n

\nDirections\n<\/p>\n

\nIn a blender, blitz the peeled bananas with the milk and vanilla until smooth, then pour over the oats in a bowl. Coarsely grate in the apples, mix well, then cover and pop into the fridge overnight to do its thing.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\nThe next day, stir well, correct the consistency with a little extra milk, if needed, then either dig in as it is, adding a handful of your favorite seasonal fruit, unsalted nuts or seeds, or choose one of the epic flavor combos on the next pages — each makes one tasty portion when paired with 1 cup of Mothership Overnight Oats. Fill. Your. Boots.\n<\/p>\n

\nHelpful Hint\n<\/p>\n

\nPrepping for one? It’s easy to halve the recipe here, giving you 3 portions (1 cup each) for the days ahead.\n<\/p>\n

Smashed Salad<\/p>\n

\nServes 1
Time: 14 minutes\n<\/p>\n

\nIngredients
3 ounces each cucumber, apple, carrots, raw baby beets, red bell pepper, radishes
1\/2 a clove of garlic
1 tablespoon mixed seeds
1 bunch of mixed soft herbs (about 1 ounce), such as dill, mint, parsley, basil, tarragon
1\/2 ounce feta cheese
Sea salt
Red wine vinegar
Extra-virgin olive oil\n<\/p>\n

\nDirections\n<\/p>\n

\nIn a mortar and pestle, pound the peeled garlic with the seeds and a pinch of sea salt, then muddle in 1 tablespoon each of red wine vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil, and season to perfection. Trim and roughly chop the veg and fruit, then either smash it up in the mortar and pestle, or wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and give it a good bashing with a rolling pin. Toss with the dressing and herb leaves, then crumble on the feta. Delicious with crusty whole wheat bread.\n<\/p>\n

Lemon Tahini Chicken and Grains<\/p>\n

\n“\u200b\u200bHere we’re jazzing up a handy grain package, meaning you get big flavor, fast,” Oliver writes.\n<\/p>\n

\nServes 2
Time: 13 minutes\n<\/p>\n

\nIngredients
1 small bunch of broccolini (6 ounces)
Two 5-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
16-ounce jar roasted red peppers
2 cloves garlic
1\/2 a bunch of basil (about 1\/2 ounce)
1\/4 cup kalamata olives, with pits
1 lemon
2 tablespoons tahini
8.5-ounce package cooked mixed grains
15-ounce can cannellini beans\n<\/p>\n

\nDirections\n<\/p>\n

\nPlace a large shallow Dutch oven over high heat. Trim the broccolini, halve any thicker stems lengthwise, and dry fry while you score deeply across the chicken breasts at 1\/2-inch intervals. Spritz with olive oil, rub with sea salt and black pepper, and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through and the broccolini is lightly charred.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\nMeanwhile, pour the peppers into a blender, juices and all, then peel and add the garlic. Add the basil, stems and all, reserving a few nice leaves, and blitz until smooth. Smash, pit and finely chop the olives. Finely grate and reserve the lemon zest. Squeeze the juice into a bowl with the tahini, which will thicken it, then loosen with splashes of water and season to perfection.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\nTransfer the chicken and broccolini to a board to rest. Pour the pepper sauce into the pan along with the grains. Drain and add the beans, mix together, boil for a couple of minutes, or until reduced, then season to perfection and divide between plates. Scatter on the broccolini, slice and add the chicken, spoon on the lemon-tahini sauce, then sprinkle with the olives, lemon zest and reserved basil leaves.\n<\/p>\n
