Power lunch

Looking for a quick and easy lunch that will keep you going through the afternoon? Look no further than our protein packed power lunch.

If you’re after a lunch that will help stave off the 3 ‘o’clock slump, try this power lunch on for size.

Eggs are a great source of protein and contain a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals.

And combined with salmon this lunch will also give you your omega-3 fatty acids to help support your heart, brain and joint health.

If you do want a little carbohydrate boost you can add some roasted pumpkin.

Add extra greens like broccoli or asparagus.
