Okay team, it’s that time of the week again. A few of you have asked for some non-veggie options and so this week we have a fish option but fear not veggie/vegans amongst us as the salmon can easily be omitted, or swapped for something like chunky avocado, egg or cheese, or tofu. It’s very versatile.
