An easy to make and perfectly balanced meal consisting of:

  • Protein: Chicken
  • Complex, Starchy Carbohydrate: Sweet Potato
  • Complex, Fibrous Carbohydrate: Asparagus.

This is my go-to meal on workout days. It is perfectly balanced in every way and consists of three main ingredients; sweet potato, asparagus & chicken! Gluten, dairy and grain free too.
