Nutritional notes on this hunger-busting healthy lunch
Avocado – vitamins C, K, B5, B6 and E. It’s also a great source of potassium. Although it’s high in calories, it is full of healthy monounsaturated fats. It contains mannoheptulose. This sugar inhibits the release of insulin, so it’s a great food for diabetics and those trying to lose weight.
Chia seeds – omega-3, protein, and fibre. They boost your metabolism and help to suppress your appetite. They work within the body to take the fat-burning hormone glucagon up to its highest potential.
Lemon – helps your digestion.
Chilli – vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), B-6, A, iron, copper, potassium.
Tomato – all of what the chilli has, plus a bit extra
Lettuce – Vitamin A, K and folate. Sterol helps reduce cholesterol in your arteries. Protects against macular disease.
