Recipe Note
LENTILS
Lentils are packed with fibre which is great for promoting digestion and supporting healthy bowel movements. High in protein, they are an inexpensive, healthy, environmentally friendly alternative to animal based proteins. They are also a good source of iron and B vitamins which help the blood move oxygen around the body – vital for development and energy production!
SQUASH
Squash is rich in Vitamin A (important for healthy eyes) and beta-carotene, an antioxidant that converts into vitamin A. It is also a good source of Vitamin C, E, K, B vitamins, potassium and contains fibre, iron, magnesium, copper, phosphorus and calcium!
POTATO
Potato is high in B6, good source of Vitamin C, fibre, contains iron, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, and zinc!
