Well where do I start with this recipe! My sister and I were going through a crazy healthy phase where everything we would eat had to have your basic bit of protein and carbs in it. You know what its like when the new year starts and you have goals you want to achieve! I was going through a phase where I wanted to gain weight but not by eating junk, by gaining in a healthy way, I also wanted to create something that would last a few days. This recipe is brilliant for people who are into healthy eating, fitness and work long hours and can't find the time to pack lunch daily for work. I created this meal and packed them in microwaveable tubs and stored in the fridge. A tub for each day of the week; Monday to Friday. It was so good knowing I didn't have to worry about what I would need to prepare for work the next day and a brilliant feeling knowing I'm eating something that I would positively gain from. So for all you healthy freaks give this a go, I promise you wont regret it.
