This lunch is packed with nutrients and is a great example of a high protein, high fibre meal that will keep you satisfied for hours.
🥣 What’s in the bowl?
🥗Satay tofu
🥗Chickpeas
🥗Carrot
🥗Cucumber
🥗Lettuce
Dressing: Balsamic Vinegar and EVO
🌱 Protein power
Between the tofu and chickpeas, you’re getting a generous dose of plant protein.
🌾 Fibre for gut health
Chickpeas are one of the stars here. They’re loaded with fibre, which feeds your healthy gut bacteria.
Combined with the vegetables, this meal easily delivers a substantial amount of your daily fibre needs.
🥕 Colour = antioxidants
The carrots provide beta-carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A for healthy vision, skin and immune function. They also contribute antioxidants that help protect your cells.
🥒 Hydration and crunch
Cucumber is mostly water, making it a great way to boost hydration while adding volume and crunch.
🧡 Healthy fats
The Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the satay marinade (typically containing peanuts) provides unsaturated fats, which support heart health and help absorb fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A from the carrots
Overall, you’ve got a lunch that’s:
✅ High in protein
✅ High in fibre
✅ Rich in vitamins and minerals
✅ Full of slow release carbohydrates for steady energy
✅ Great for supporting gut health, muscle recovery and keeping you full until your next meal.
It looks simple, but nutritionally it’s doing a lot of heavy lifting.
