Tips

  • Add chilli flakes for a kick.
  • Fibre helps energy levels, gut health, and keeps you full.
  • Adding butter beans doesn't change the flavor but adds texture and fiber.
  • You can swap butter beans for chickpeas or cannellini beans.
  • Shake the container to mix the ingredients to avoid washing a spoon.
  • Aim for above 8 grams of fiber in meals if not more.
  • This recipe is great for lunch, especially when the weather is warm.
  • This recipe has a great source of protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and healthy fats.
  • It is a 9 out of 10 for me and I would try it again.
  • A point is missing because I would add in some chilli flakes for a bit of a kick next time.
  • It is quick, fresh and balanced.
  • It helps with gut health and to keep you regular.
  • It can also help you feel more full and satisfied, meaning you are less likely to be raiding the snack drawer an hour later.
  • This recipe with that minor tweak is hitting all the marks for me.
  • It's a win!
