Tropical Noodle Salad with Chicken

I’ve saved my personal favourite in this Robinsons SQUASH’D series of recipes created by James Ramsden, author of Love Your Lunchbox, till last. It is a Tropical Noodle Salad with Chicken, and I loved all the different textures in one dish.  With flavourful noodles, chicken, mango, peanuts and passion fruit, it is full of wonderful flavour combinations, and I can’t wait to make this one again! Why not check out the recipes for Citrus Salad with Salmon and Avocado and Crudités with Apple & Blackcurrant Dip

SQUASH’D is a 66ml capsule of high concentrated squash. It is available in six flavours: Apple & Blackcurrant, Orange & Peach, Tropical, Citrus, Summer Fruits, Pear & Blueberry. Available in all major supermarkets, RRP £2.49.

James was influenced by the exotic passion fruit and mango flavours of SQUASH’D Tropical when creating this lunch to provide fitness fanatics with plenty of energy. “This meal is full of everything you need to ensure your body is ready for a workout” says Nutritionist Jenny Edelstein from Brain Food. “Noodles will up glycogen stores in the muscles, which will be used during the workout. Mango is one of the most iron-rich fruits, so it supports the flow of oxygen to the muscles, and contains lots of B vitamins for energy. It’s also important to stay hydrated as dehydration may cause muscle cramping and fatigue.”
