This healthy lunch required pretty much no cooking or skill, not sure how cost effective it is though. I used a seedy pitta bread, 2 poached eggs, cucumber, Quorn chicken pieces, microwavable veg, lentil thingies, and a chunk of feta. This was me trying to eat protein after a run, and more veg after Christmas.
I calculated it at 712 calories which seems like a lot for what looks like a salad but protein does bring the cals.
Further playing with my spiralizer, I made a salad to go with some exciting vegan mini burgers. I did not make said burgers, I have to confess, and there were nicer than you think!
Anyway, I used the thinnest noodle setting and spiraled a carrot and some cucumber. The carrot was very carroty, the cucumber was quite drippy. The only issue I have with my spiralizer is that the tray to catch the grated veg doesn’t always catch it all which seems a bit of a design flaw. The cucumber seemed particularly prone to dripping its way onto the counter top.
Ok it’s happening…I am being healthy…
I made a salad, with poached eggs. It’s not super glamourous but it’ll do, in fact it reminds me of the ‘face’ salads my dad used to make us.
