Notes
During the week, when life is busy, it's so difficult to cook something quick, easy, tasty and healthy, but this recipe has been created for that purpose and to help you lose weight and feel fuller for longer due to the high protein & low-carb content of the dish. Broccoli is considered a cancer fighting and hormone balancing vegetable, so try to eat it regularly to help balance your hormones. Because the protein and fibre content also helps balance the blood sugar, this helps to reduce cravings and cortisol levels. You can double up on the recipe if you're cooking for the family.
