Notes
Eating healthy doesn't have to be complicated. Mediterranean-style food, which is high in unprocessed, fresh ingredients like vegetables, olive oil and fatty fish, will leave you feeling fuller for longer due to the good quality proteins, fats and fibre. This meal only takes 30 minutes to make and is packed with inflammation-fighting goodness. Because the meal is loaded with protein and fibre, plus is low-calorie, it is suitable for blood-sugar balancing, hormone-balancing and weight-loss protocols. I prefer to use Ceylon cinnamon as traditional cinnamon. Blanching the broccoli in this way helps preserve maximum nutrients and prevents it from becoming soggy and overcooked.
