    FYI

    Butter beans

    Rich in protein, low in fat and a good source of fibre, these are a great standby. Blitz into soups or crush with sautéed leeks as a change from mash.

    Eggs

    Endlessly versatile, eggs are an excellent, protein-rich alternative to meat and fish. They’re also a great source of vitamin B12.
