Tuna & White Bean Protein Salad (32g Protein, High Fibre)

This five-minute salad is a GLP-1 lunch staple: no cooking, around 32g of protein, and a good dose of fibre from the beans. It is light but genuinely filling, which suits a smaller appetite.

Ingredients

• 2 tins (about 280g drained) tuna in spring water, drained
• 1 tin (400g) cannellini or white beans, drained and rinsed
• ½ red onion, finely diced
• 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ lemon, juiced
• Handful of parsley, chopped
• Salt and black pepper

Method

1. 1Flake the tuna into a bowl and add the beans, onion and tomatoes.
2. 2Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper, then pour over.
3. 3Toss gently, fold through the parsley, and serve.

Tips for GLP-1 appetites

• Beans add fibre alongside the protein, which helps with the constipation many people get on GLP-1 medication.
• Keeps in the fridge for a day, so it doubles as a grab-and-go lunch.
• On a tender-stomach day, go easy on the raw onion or swap it for chopped cucumber.
