Why this recipe is good for you
This recipe is especially rich in Protein, Calcium and Gut health.
- Protein — Protein helps build and repair muscle, supports your immune system, and helps meals keep you satisfied for longer.
- Calcium — Calcium helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth and supports normal muscle and nerve function — important throughout life and particularly around menopause.
- 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.
A high-protein, calcium-rich bowl that works equally well as a light breakfast or a snack.
