Protein rice with tuna and vegetables
Fresh Bioteïne Protein Rice with tuna and crunchy vegetables, a light protein-rich Phase 2 lunch.
Bioteïne Protein Rice takes centre stage in this fresh lunch dish, with the rice's elevated protein content pairing perfectly with the tuna for a satisfying meal. The rice stays light and tastes great when chilled.
The combination fits within Phase 2 because the Protein Rice delivers fewer carbohydrates than regular rice, whilst tuna and cucumber add plenty of protein and volume without raising the carbs.
Serving tip: feel free to prepare this dish in advance as a packed lunch and season with an extra squeeze of lemon juice just before eating.
