Chickpea bowl with tuna
Hearty Phase 2 bowl with chickpeas, tuna and fresh red onion.
This chickpea bowl with tuna is a hearty, filling lunch without fuss. Creamy chickpeas are mixed with crisp peppers and fresh red onion, topped with substantial tuna and a light dressing of olive oil and lemon juice. A hint of lemon keeps the whole thing fresh and lively.
In Phase 2 of the protein diet, you can carefully add pulses, and chickpeas are an excellent choice for this. Together with the tuna, they provide well over 34 grams of protein, whilst the chickpeas contribute slow carbohydrates and fibre that keep your hunger at bay for a long time. This protein-rich bowl thus combines a powerful protein base with the controlled carbohydrates that belong to this phase.
Lovely with a handful of rocket or a few slices of cucumber for extra freshness. A pinch of cumin or fresh parsley takes the bowl to a Mediterranean level.
