Why this recipe is good for you
This recipe is especially rich in Omega-3, Protein and Gut health.
- Omega-3 — Omega-3 fats support heart, brain and mood health, and are important in pregnancy for your baby’s brain and eye development.
- Protein — Protein helps build and repair muscle, supports your immune system, and helps meals keep you satisfied for longer.
- Gut health — A healthy gut supports digestion, immunity and even mood. Fibre-rich and fermented foods — like yoghurt, oats and legumes — feed the good bacteria that live there.
