I'll admit it...sometimes I feel really lazy to cook a meal. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is eaten at home so sometimes I find myself not knowing what to make or not having much time to prepare something.
I have found that making that little sacrifice of cooking your own food vs eating out or just eating snacks is so worth it!!! You feel satisfied after your meal and without the need to eat sweets or eat more snacks.
This meal is super easy to make and super nourishing, full of different colored veggies, healthy fats and protein and it takes less than 10 minutes!

Method
