Protein-Packed Super Grain Salad
It's the perfect time to upgrade your diet with some fresh greens, fiber, protein and vitamin super grains. We’ve used two types of quinoa because it’s low GI and contains all the essential amino acids you need! Super grains are a good source of essential vitamins.
Ingredients
- 50g white quinoa
- 20g red quinoa
- 30g baby spinach
- 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds, toasted
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1 tsp chopped chive
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 tbsp pomegranate seeds (optional)
- Prepare quinoa as per packet instructions
- Lightly toast pumpkin seeds on a medium heat
- Mix with baby spinach, toasted pumpkin seeds, parsley, chives and sliced avocado
- Drizzle with a little olive oil

For times when you aren't able to cook, why not try one of our nutritious meal replacement shakes. Each flavour is deliciously sweet and creamy, low in sugar, and uses natural flavourings.
