What’s In My Online Order: Nana Acheampong
FRUIT & VEG
Large cucumber: I use cucumbers constantly – in salads, juices and sauces – and I’m addicted to making my own tzatziki. Buying a large one always makes more sense and I swear they’re much juicier than the smaller ones.
Red onions: They’re a staple ingredient for so much of my cooking. I love them both raw and cooked – they add depth of flavour to almost any dish.
Sugarbelle tomatoes: Getting tasty tomatoes in the UK is tricky but Sugarbelle are the best I’ve found. I’ll go out of my way to buy them, even if it means visiting multiple shops when they’re sold out.
Kale: I usually steam curly kale to add to salads, or roast it with chilli and garlic to make kale crisps when I want something crunchy.
Tenderstem broccoli: This is one of my most-used vegetables. I roast it with olive oil, garlic and chilli flakes, or lightly steam it and finish off with some lemon and sea salt.
Sugar snap peas: Crunchy vegetables are my favourite and they don’t come crunchier than sugar snaps. I roast them with chilli flakes, garlic and olive oil for a simple side dish.
Mango: My love for mango knows no bounds. I eat it every single day – on its own for breakfast, as a topping on chia pudding or blended into smoothies.
Passionfruit: I love topping fruit or yoghurt with passionfruit. The balance of tangy and sweet just works so well.
Raspberries: Sweet, tart and bursting with flavour, raspberries are perfect for smoothies, porridge or just snacking on throughout the day.
FRIDGE STAPLES
Rachel’s Organic coconut yogurt: I buy two tubs at a time because I go through it so quickly. Coconut is one of my favourite flavours and after trying countless alternatives, nothing else comes close.
Almond milk: Its nutty, naturally sweet flavour makes smoothies, porridge and baking taste amazing.
Halloumi: I don’t like cheese unless it’s melted – a sizzling slice of halloumi always hits the spot.
PROTEIN & POWER FOODS
Peppered mackerel: An easy protein I always keep in the fridge, I’ll have this with salads, on toast or flaked into a grain bowl when I need something quick but satisfying.
Scallops: Sweet, tender and quick to cook, scallops are great for weeknight dinners or when I want something that feels a little more special without much effort required.
Bulgur wheat: Tabbouleh is one of my go-to salads because it’s quick, easy and flavoursome. Both protein and complex carbs are non-negotiable, especially around training days.
Avocado: Creamy, rich in healthy fats and endlessly versatile, I slice avocado onto toast, add it to salads or blend it into sauces and smoothies when I want extra texture.
Sweet potato: A staple in my weekly shop. I roast it with spices, mash it as a side or use it as the base for quick, nourishing meals.
CUPBOARD ESSENTIALS
Paccheri pasta: The best pasta shape in my opinion. I always stock up in Italy but M&S does a great version.
Eggs: I eat between two and four a day. They have to be large Burford Browns – nothing else compares.
Tajín seasoning: I season almost everything with chilli flakes or pepper. This spicy blend is especially good on mango and watermelon.
Creamed coconut: I use it in curries, stews and soups for richness. Grated over rice is my favourite way to eat it.
Sweetcorn: Tinned sweetcorn is underrated. It’s incredibly versatile – I use it in salads, fritters and salsa.
White Mausu Peanut Rayu: I reach for this constantly – on eggs, noodles, vegetables and rice – both for heat and texture.
Jumbo oats: I batch-cook granola once a month. The secret to perfect texture is high-quality oats.
Nuts & spices: Hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, almonds, pecans, walnuts and macadamias are always stocked in my cupboards – and I have 24 different spice jars.
PRE & POST-WORKOUT GO-TOS
Hovis Seed Sensations Seven Seeds: This is my go-to base for toast before or after training.
Bananas: Easy to digest and perfect for quick energy. If I’m going on a long run, I’ll have one on toast with peanut butter an hour before I head out.
Protein smoothie: Nothing beats a nutrient-dense protein smoothie when you’re thirsty and need something sweet. My favourite is frozen blueberries, almond milk, vanilla protein powder and sunflower seeds.
Sea moss: I add it to smoothies – the mineral content helps with recovery and reducing fatigue.
Pip & Nut Dark Roasted Peanut Butter: This is so delicious on granary toast, yoghurt or blended into smoothies.

SNACKS & TREATS
Love Corn Salt & Vinegar: These are my go-to snack when I want something savoury and crunchy. The salt and vinegar kick is unbeatable.
Off The Beaten Path bean sticks: Crunchy, savoury and surprisingly satisfying, these pea-based snacks are perfect when I want something healthy that still feels indulgent.
Sunmo Plantain Chips: Crunchy and flavoursome, these are seriously addictive and impossible to stop eating once the bag is open.
M&S Balsamic beetroot: Sweet, tangy and deeply Moorish, this is one of those things I can eat straight from the pack or use it to make beetroot hummus.
FREEZER HEROES
Garden peas: I add steamed peas to salads or make smashed minted peas for a quick side. I steam them, then blend with olive oil, salt, pepper and fresh mint – quick, easy and so good.
M&S West Country Coconut Luxury Ice Cream: Coconut is a recurring flavour in my kitchen and this ice cream is genuinely incredible. It’s one of those freezer treats that always feels worth it.
Rowntree’s watermelon ice lollies: A refreshing sweet treat after dinner – light, nostalgic and perfect when I don’t want anything heavy.
M&S Honduran raw king prawns: A freezer essential for quick meals. They’re great for stir-fries, curries or thrown into pasta when I’m short on time but still want something nourishing.
DRINKS
Sparkling water: I use a SodaStream and drink sparkling water every day. It completely cured my fizzy drink habit and makes staying hydrated much easier.
Liquid I.V.: My favourite electrolyte brand. I use it around workouts or when I feel I need a hydration boost.
Chai latte: I don’t drink coffee, but a daily almond milk chai always hits the spot. I stock up on Trader Joe’s mix every time I’m in the US.
Yerba maté with lemongrass & mint: I usually only drink mint tea, so this is my exception. It’s antioxidant-rich and gives a low, slow-release caffeine boost – perfect for powering workouts without the jitters.
