Word has it that the Mediterranean diet is one of the best diets you can feed yourself - the food is high in vitamins and minerals, always super fresh and packed to the brim with the colours of the rainbow. Mediterranean food is fragrant, healthy and oh so very tasty.   Tzatziki is high in protein due to the Greek yogurt and helps with fullness and muscle repair, not forgetting the gut health probiotics from the live cultures. Garlic & Cucumber bring antioxidants, hydration, and a little immune boost.  Serving this along side the wonderful herb fried chicken you really are on to a winner - not only is chicken high in protein which helps to build & repair muscles, but it helps you feel fuller for longer. It's also low in fat, packed with key nutrients, like vitamins B3 and B6 which support energy, metabolism and brain function, phosphorus, which is important for bones and teeth and selenium which supports immunity and thyroid health!
