Healthy Meal Ideas Packed Full Of Flavour – Turkey and Courgette Lasagna

If you’re like any of us at Boogie Bounce Head Office, we would all like to eat a little healthier. Unfortunately, that’s often easier said than done when you’re short on time and can’t bring yourself to even look at another bowl of chicken and rice.

Eating a balanced diet is really important, whether you use a rebounder (mini trampoline), lift weights or participate in another form of exercise, then you will likely want to consume higher levels of protein to aid in muscle growth and recovery.

We’ve put together this healthy, yet delicious recipe to add a bit of flavour and inspiration to your weekly meals. If like us, you often get stuck in a rut and end up eating the same thing every week, then take a look below.
