It’s getting cold in Sydney, and I’m naturally drawn to cosy eats, and if that’s you too, make sure to try this meal prep or bookmark it for the next rainy day! It’s super easy, nourishing, and so delicious 🤍 I think carrots are severely underrated; they are deliciously sweet, very affordable and bring extra fibre and micronutrients such as beta-carotene (a precursor to Vitamin A). I like to keep the lentils whole for this one, as once combined with our delicious toppings, it adds a bit of a bite to the soup, which makes it more satiating, in my opinion. Lentils are such a fantastic food to include in your diet. Not only is it high in protein (9g/ 1/2 cup cooked), but they are also a great source of non-heme iron (3.3mg/1/2 cup cooked). Iron absorption is enhanced by combining the lentils with onions and garlic, what a delicious and nourishing combo!
