spicy mango - tempeh lettuce boats
If you’re looking for a new lunch idea that is light in calories but packed full of flavour, we think you’ll love our new Thai-inspired lettuce boats!
Fresh, zesty, and packed with protein, these lettuce boats are a flavour explosion in every bite. The rich, tangy peanut-glazed tempeh pairs perfectly with the vibrant mango salsa for a meal that’s as nourishing as it is refreshing. Lettuce leaves keep it light and low in calories, but for extra fuel, feel free to serve with wholemeal pittas or wraps.
