Dhal

Perfect for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we love to meal prep this for the week. High in fibre, protein, and anti-inflammatory spices this is one to save for stable blood sugars and a healthy gut microbiome. It’s a one pot, super quick and easy staple for those that don’t like to cook but are trying to increase their diet diversity, as well as being a cosy dish for those who love home-made meals.
