Arugula Lentil Salad with Papaya
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
Lentils are rich in fiber, complex carbohydrates and iron. The protein present saturates very well, long-lasting and promotes muscle building. Zinc in the lentils is a real pimple destroyer, as the mineral repairs the skin. The slimming fruit papaya stimulates protein digestion through the enzyme papain and brings the fat burning to full speed.
It doesn't get much better than this: but if you can do without it, omit the maple syrup in the dressing to save some more sugar.
