💚 WHY IT'S SO NOURISHING
✨ Lentils provide plant-based protein, fibre, iron, folate and potassium — helping make this a more satisfying, balanced vegetarian meal.
✨ Eggs + feta add complete protein and important nutrients including B vitamins and choline.
✨ Sweet potato & carrots provide complex carbohydrates, fibre and carotenoids such as beta-carotene.
✨ Colourful vegetables provide a variety of polyphenols, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
✨ Extra-virgin olive oil provides monounsaturated fats and polyphenols and is a key part of the Mediterranean-style pattern of eating.
✨ High fibre + protein = filling and supportive of steady energy and a healthy gut microbiome.
