HIGH PROTEIN CALORIE CONSCIOUS R150

R150 lunch meal prep to hit your protein goals, stay full and keep things affordable? Say less 😎🍗🥔 This week we’re making Portuguese Tomato Chicken with Smash Potatoes & Veg, a high-protein, calorie-conscious lunch prep that comes in at 480 calories, 48g protein and 10g fibre per serving 🙌🏽 A big part of my weight loss journey has been learning that meals don’t need to be fancy, expensive or “perfect” to work. Sometimes the most helpful thing is just having a balanced lunch ready to go: protein, carbs, veg and a little snack on the side so you’re not left trying to wing it when you’re already hungry. This one is super simple, affordable and made with normal South African ingredients. The recipe assumes you have basic spices at home, but you can honestly use whatever you already have, Portuguese spice, chicken spice, curry powder, paprika, garlic, mixed herbs, whatever makes sense in your kitchen. Add 2 naartjies and a packet of chippies and you’ve got a proper lunchbox situation that gives you protein, fibre, fruit and a snack without making healthy eating feel boring 🥹🍊 Let me know if you try this one, and follow along to build a Body by Balance 💚💛
