About the Recipe
A great way to ensure a healthy and filling meal is to include a lean protein, healthy fat and carbohydrate with fiber. This bowl ticks all the boxes with wild salmon, a lean protein which is high in anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids, avocado and lots of crunchy veggies. The quinoa and rice mix adds a filling starchy carbohydrate that is also high in protein and B vitamins.
