The Feta, beet and lentil lunch jar

I use a 500ml jar from IKEA for my lunch jars and find that is a nice portion for me. If you love feta, you’ll love this bowl. Beets are rich in natural chemicals called nitrates, great for blood flow and blood pressure. Add a boiled egg for more protein and/or hummus for more dietary fibre.
