This version is full of anti-oxidant rich vegetables and lean protein, providing a hearty and nutritious meal for the whole family while staying low in calories, perfect when looking for the best ways to lose weight.

Bok choy is readily available at most supermarkets, and can also be called “Pak Choi”. It’s very low in calories but contains high levels of vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, B, C and K plus iron and calcium. It has a mild flavour and is an easy addition to many meals.
Once you have made this a few times feel free to experiment with adding any variety of vegetables including broccoli, peas or whatever you have in the fridge.
