If you're looking for a lunch or dinner that not only tastes good but is good for you, we've got just the one. Oily fish such as salmon is a great source of protein which is essential to support muscle tone and stabilise our blood sugar levels, while keeping us fuller, longer.
Salmon is rich in Omega-3s which are anti-inflammatory, and vitamin D which is great for good moods and immunity. Served with some leafy greens, you'll have a mineral-rich meal as well as chlorophyll which supports muscle and tissue strength and aids in detoxifying our lymphatic system.
