This fish and greens recipe is a super nutritious, tasty dish that can accompany you on your fat-loss journey.
This recipe provides maximum satiety while actively minimising energy from fat and carbs.
Snapper is usually our white fish of choice for this meal, and it provides heaps of bioavailable protein, omega-3 fatty acids, potassium, calcium, iodine, selenium, and vitamins B5, B6, B12, D and E. Other white fishes like cod are other excellent choices.
Meanwhile, the asparagus and bok choy supply adequate folate, magnesium, and vitamins A, C and K1 to ensure you crush your nutrient cravings. Similarly, ginger and onion generously boost your intake of vitamin C.
Coconut oil provides fatty acids that help absorb fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins A and K.
You could add mushrooms when cooking the greens for even more nutrient density.
