Lunch: Mozzarella salad with Pinto Beans - slow carb salad

Really quick and easy (and cheap!) Slow carb and high protein lunch.
Just a basic salad; mozzarella, tomato, cucumber, celery, basil - with a splash of olive oil and red wine vinegar. Then for the beans, just drained and rinsed half a tin of pinto beans (had the other half for breakfast, recipe to follow) then added a squeeze of lime and the tiniest bit of chilli sauce and some more virgin olive oil.
Lovely summery cold salad lunch, that was really really quick, but really tasty.

1 portion cucumber
2 spring onions
6 queen black olives

All combined in a bowl (except the hummus that I put on the side) - great, FAST low carb meal - love it!

Lunch: Chorizo and Cheese Salad

Really fast fresh salad, I could have thrown in 1/3 a tin of kidney beans if I was hungrier - to up the protein and fibre, but was still pretty full from the nut smoothie I had for breakfast!

Chopped  Chorizo (50g)
Chopped cheese (30g)
Olives
Pickled chillis
Pickled Gherkin
small tomato
cucumber
small carrot

Lovely!
