A protein packed salad with chargrilled chicken, goats cheese, cous cous, avocado & spinach.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"chicken<\/a>Thanks to a baby who has decided it’s fun to wake 4 or 5 times a night for a feed or a cuddle I’ve been feeling a bit tired and run down lately. There’s not much I can do about lack of sleep but I thought improving my diet and being more conscious about what I eat might help to put a little perk in my step during the day (and maybe help me shift some of this baby weight. Maternity jeans at 13 weeks postpartum is a little shameful!) So rather than just pick at food straight from the fridge (anyone else guilty of that?) I’m trying to sit down and eat a proper lunch during the week.<\/p>\n

\"chargrilled<\/a>I made this protein packed salad earlier this week with some random ingredients I had at home. It was definitely worth spending a few spare minutes between feeding, burping and nappy changing to throw it together. The ingredients can easily be varied to include other some other veg or salad bits that you like and the goats cheese could be swapped for cheddar or feta. It will also keep well in the fridge for a few hours if you wanted to make it ahead of time.<\/p>\n

I don’t know whether it was the salad or the extra strong cup of coffee I had afterwards, but I certainly felt perkier for the rest of the afternoon and for once I didn’t reach for the chocolate biscuits to ease the afternoon slump. Result!<\/p>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>
