Let's be honest, we all live busy lifestyles but we can all agree that with a little bit of preparation and structure to our weeks, things seem to run a lot smoother. That's why my partner and I like to cook this up on a weekday night. It makes those early starts a hell of a lot easier and it helps manage your blood sugar levels throughout the day too. It's crazy how starting your day with a quality serving of protein can help conquer your 3:30itis (you can trust me, I am an accredited practising dietitian).
