Quick And Easy Protein Packed Lunch

Todays quick and easy protein packed lunch.One of my favourite combinations

2 boiled eggs,half cup quinoa,half cup kidney beans,2 cups organic baby spinach salad.handful cherry tomatoes and black pepper and balsamic vinaigrette for dressing
.
Eggs-always a good source of protein.
Quinoa- is a grain.When cooked has a light fluffy texture almost similar to rice.known for being a superfood for its high amount of protein and has 9 essential amino acids,which is great for supporting the growth of muscle.
Kidney Beans-a good source of protein as well as fiber.
Spinach-has calcium and iron and overall being rich in antioxidants.
Cherry tomatoes-contain some vitamin A and C
Balsamic Vinaigrette-Light and lower calorie dressing also better alternative to mayonnaise.
