Brain food for the digital native
We are the first to put our hands up at S&S to say we drink way too much coffee and not enough water during a busy work day. A few sneaky snacks here and there and the odd “I just had the biggest day I’m getting ubereats” dinners, and before we know it, we’re in a food rut. Sound familiar? Add 8+ hours in front of blue light on a laptop screen and that’s a recipe for dull skin and poor gut health that no one asked for!
Enter recipe goddess and health food whisperer, Maddy Trueman. Mads understood the assignment when Elke came to her with a ‘how do I fix my lunch game?’ SOS call.
Problems: an afternoon slump in concentration, dull skin and a bit of gut discomfort that is so not cute.
The solution: Honey & Pistachio Crusted Salmon Super Bowl, made to nourish the mind and body of a digital native.
We are so excited to share this with you (can confirm it’s 11/10 delicious) in the hope that you take some time out of your day to honour your health and wellbeing, busy as you may be!
