GRAINS AND LEGUMES FOR GAINS 💪🏽 SAVE THIS GUIDE!

We all know how important the macronutrient protein is when looking to gain muscle….and the same old choices tend to get a run over and over again 😬

What about grains and legumes? These nutrition powerhouses are often overlooked as a quality source of protein for gains

As you can see, consciously including grains and legumes within the base of your meals, or complementing your dishes by adding your favourites can increase your protein intake, helping you to reach your goal protein intake for the day.

Something worth mentioning is that whole grains are a key source of zinc and magnesium in our diets, two nutrients important for the maintenance and growth of muscle mass. Yes please?

Not to mention good old legumes, which are higher in protein than most other plant foods and ARE DELICIOUS in just about anything, and very cost effective!

Are you going to try adding in more of these awesome options to your diet?

Teriyaki Soba Noodle Salad by @tessbegg ❤️ This salad is light, fresh, and really flavourful! It's also great to make in big batches. Save this recipe and give it a try! 👇🏼

Teriyaki Sauce:
2 tbsp tamari
1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 garlic clove minced
1 tsp ginger minced
1/2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp water

Salad:
1/2 packet buckwheat soba noodles
1 cup red cabbage, shredded
1 carrot, julienned
1 cucumber, julienned
1/2 avocado, diced
1/2 cup edamame beans
1 spring onion shoot, sliced
Sesame seeds, lime, salt and pepper to season

1. Combine the water and cornstarch together. Add the remaining ingredients along with the cornstarch slurry to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and keep whisking until it thickens, then remove from the heat to cool.
2. Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the soba noodles according to the packet, then allow to cool.
3. Add the salad ingredients to a large bowl and mix through the teriyaki sauce. Enjoy!

The sauce makes enough for 1 large salad to feed 2 people. You can always double the sauce and keep it in a jar in the fridge. Keep salad in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days
