Thank us later because we’ve just found your new go-to lunch

Packed with protein and bursting with flavour, this is the lunch we deserve.

Hands up if you're guilty of eating the same bog-standard lunch, day in, day out.

Whether it's a sad salad made with the wilting leaves we found at the back of our fridge or a lack-lustre sambo, too many of us are guilty of settling on lunches that are lacking the oomph factor.

The truth is, our lunchtimes are precious. That hour-long break is not just about getting a solid meal in to fuel the final stretch of our workday, it's about taking a moment for ourselves to properly detach from the daily grind.

It's an opportunity to unwind, escape and indulge our senses - and our lunch choices should reflect that. A battered banana retrieved from the bottom of your bag or pasta salad for the tenth day in a row are simply not going to cut it.

When it comes to mixing things up at lunch, Applegreen understands the assignment. In fact, the latest addition to their Bakewell Deli is testament to that.

Their brand new Shake It Your Way bowls are made with 100% Irish chicken tenders - a solid base for the lunch of champions. Deli diners are then invited to spice things up by customising these tenders with a sauce of their choice, including Kerala Indian spice, hot sauce and Korean BBQ. The Shake It Your Way bowl is then finished off with a sprinkling of spring onions. Divine.

These bowls are filling, packed with protein and they're a feast for the senses. In short it's the lunch we deserve.

You can try the brand new Shake It Your Way bowl from Applegreens across the country from 5th May.
