We hit the aisles with Omar Meziane, chef for the England football team and co-founder of meal delivery service Tweakd

Good4U salad topper super seeds

They’re packed full of protein and good fats and elevate a boring leaf salad into something that has crunch and texture.

Pack'd frozen avocado 

At home we sometimes make an oat, banana and avocado smoothie. Not having to peel, chop and make mess with the avocado is the best thing in the world.

Leon garlic aioli

It’s the most delicious aioli that I’ve come across in recent years. When I used to eat meat, I would regularly pan-sear a steak and have a more-than-generous dollop of it.

Belazu preserved lemons

My father is Moroccan, so we used to always have preserved lemons at home. They add this incredible bitterness, sweetness and saltiness into North African dishes.

Sainsbury's sumac 

Sumac is that pivotal, warm flavour within Middle Eastern cooking. It makes me think of health and sunshine and enjoyment and big tables of food.

This Isn't Chicken plant-based pieces

In January my wife decided that, at home, we would be vegans. With the This Isn’t soya pieces, you can cook them into a curry or barbecue them and it’s genuinely like eating chicken. They’re brilliant.

Yutaka sushi rice

At England football, we always have rice pudding the night before a game. I find sushi rice cooks better. It absorbs all the liquid, so you end up with this unctuous deliciousness. 

Tweakd provides pre-prepared frozen meals inspired by years of cooking for the nation’s elite sports stars.
