🍱 Prep this high-protein lunch box and save yourself buying lunch tomorrow!

💬 Comment your favourite lunchbox combos, I love getting inspo from you guys!

What you eat for lunch can make a real difference to your energy, focus and how full you feel all afternoon.

I’m a big fan of bento boxes because you can mix and match whatever you’ve got.

My favourite combo right now is this chicken salad, plus chickpeas, crunchy veg and crackers. It’s easy to prep and gives you a good dose of protein, fibre and colourful veg.

Mediterranean-style Chicken Salad

Ingredients (serves 2)

For the dressing:
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard, smooth
1 tsp maple syrup

For the salad:
50g red onion, finely diced
100g fennel, finely diced
1 tbsp capers, roughly chopped
50g sundried tomatoes, roughly chopped
15g parsley, finely sliced
300g cooked chicken breast, shredded

Method

1. Place all ingredients for the dressing into a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
2. Add all remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Save this for your next lunch prep 👌 It works great in a sandwich as well!
