why plant-based makes a great lunch
A great lunch should leave you feeling satisfied, energised and ready to take on the rest of your day. That’s one of the reasons more people are choosing plant-based meals, whether every day or just a few times a week.
A well-balanced plant-based lunch brings together fibre-rich vegetables, wholegrains, complex carbohydrates, plant-based protein and plenty of colour and flavour.
“At itsu, plant-based ingredients play an important role across our menu” says Siobhan our head of food “From vegetables and grains to tofu or our iconic edamame beans, we’re focused on creating flavour-led dishes that make plant-powered choices easy and enjoyable.”
