Plant-Based Colourful Lunch
I advise 2 plant days a week and if that means just lunchtime with fish at night, well then that is good. Chickpeas & Black beans are the lowest carb of the legume family.
Chickpeas are a source of lignans which help to balance hormones for females and are a good fibre source making them useful for cholesterol management.
This shop-bought brand ‘Gosh’ passed the taste test in my house.

Ingredients
Serves 1
4 x 22g Falafels
40g Fresh crisp lettuce
25g, 1 forkfuls of chipotle coleslaw
20, 2 beetroot balls
20g, 2 small forkfuls M&S red cabbage veg slaw
20g, 2 small forkfuls M&S 3 bean mix
Method
Pre-heat the fan assisted oven to 180.
The falafels are crispy at 8 minutes.
They are a little dry for my palette and I use the coleslaw or even a little mayo with lemon to dress them.
