Why we love this recipe:

Seasonal Vegetables: This recipe showcases many seasonal vegetables that are abundant in Spring including capsicums, zucchinis and spinach. Each of these vegetables are bursting with good prebiotic fibre to keep our healthy gut bacteria thriving, boost immunity and improve your mood!

Lentils: Not only will these give you a good dose of plant based protein, but lentils have also been shown to fight ageing and increase longevity. Lentils have also been proven to help lower cholesterol, stabilise blood sugar levels and keep you feeling fuller for longer!
