Blackberry Tacos
Get creative with this Mexican dish using seasonal fruit and add blackberries to make a delicious salsa to pair with your tacos. Blackberries contain vitamin C and K and are high in manganese, making them a nutrition powerhouse. Opting for chickpeas as your protein makes this a delicious and suitable meal for all eaters. Not only a source of protein, but this dish will actively help increase your fibre consumption, something all too many of the UK are deficient in.
