Today, I’m taking you with me on a quick trip to Pret, sharing my top picks as a nutritionist who’s always on the lookout for a balanced bite. When I’m at Pret, I like to grab a falafel bowl along with a side of a ripe banana and some chocolate-covered almonds. This combination offers a satisfying and nutritious lunch on the go. I’m all about making smart food choices, and this meal fits the bill perfectly. The falafel bowl provides a good source of plant-based protein and fiber, while the banana adds natural sweetness and essential nutrients. As a little treat, I indulge in some chocolate-covered almonds, which give me a delightful crunch and a touch of sweetness without going overboard on sugar. It’s important to maintain a balanced diet, even when you’re in a hurry, and this combination helps me do just that. Where would you like me to go to next for lunch…I was thinking Itsu?
