I made some chicken salad - chopped-up grilled chicken, sliced broccoli, green onions, red onions, cucumbers, and celery, mixed with mayo and spices. I nearly cried it was so delicious. :)

I made up my own recipe! I warm 65mls of unsweetened almond milk in the microwave for 30secs, then add 4 level teaspoons of chia seeds, 2 level teaspoons of cocoa powder and two teaspoons of sugar free maple syrup. Stir it all well and then store overnight in the fridge. I eat it warm by zapping it in the microwave again.

EDIT That makes one portion.

I eat same but use one spoon of honey instead of maple syrup.

Nothing easily comes to mind.
Share what you've eaten today with the rest of the DCUK community and maybe steal a few ideas for yourself!

Low carb contributions are of course welcomed, but please keep in mind that this is not the low carb diet section, and debates about diet should be kept out of this thread. Happy posting! ;)

I just had a very tasty soup with different types of beans, including borlotti beans. It is the first time I have had it and it was thick and tasty.

I love soups, I used to make a lot of my own but I've got lazy and buy the fresh soups. Will have to get back into the habit.
