Hey guys. So this recipe i've written up here is causing me the biggest amount of stress at the moment! Me, and my friends Jack and Kelly (Kelly took the lovely piccys!) as part of a University module had to create a low budget, healthy convenience meal, suitable for a standard range at a UK supermarket. We are having to write up a 4000 word report about it's development for next friday- eep!! At the end of it all, we found that a portion of the product supplies you with 2 portions of your 5 a day fruit and veg, it has high fibre, high protein, low in saturated fat and provides a 1/4 of your vitamin C and folic R.D.A. So to summarise, it tastes pretty darn good, and it's also pretty darn good for you too- and thank god I don't have to reference a medical journal just to write this post down, haha!!
