Your go-to quick, fresh, and flavourful spring lunch!
This dish packs a punch with tender chicken and a zesty lime dressing, all balanced with the crunch of cabbage and colourful veggies. Not only is it a delicious meal, but it also offers some powerful hormone-detoxifying benefits, thanks to the cabbage.
Cabbage is rich in compounds that help support liver function and detox pathways, aiding the body in processing and eliminating excess hormones (particularly oestrogen).
Plus, with 30 grams of protein, it helps you feel fuller for longer and promotes a lighter, more energised feeling after eating. Perfect for those looking for a nutritious, satisfying lunch that also supports your hormone health.
