RECIPE: Chicken & Mixed Bean Salad (serves 2)
This salad is a great lunch option if you're looking to avoid the high GI carbs of bread, baguettes, etc. It's amazingly easy to prepare, is packed full of protein, low in fat and has a good dose of fibre too. By basing lunch on protein sources like chicken and legumes, rather than bread, you'll stay fuller for longer, avoiding the need to snack later in the afternoon.
