Halloumi, pineapple & Veg Kebabs
Halloumi is a salty cheese originally from Cyprus which is an excdllent source of protein providing about 21g per 100g or 21% protein. It is also a great source of calcium, healthy fats, zinc, selenium and B vitamins. Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that aids in digestion by breaking down proteins. Bromelain has anti-inflammatory and digestive properties, which can help reduce bloating, especially if it is caused by poor digestion of protein-rich foods. Additionally, the high water and fiber content in pineapple can promote a healthy gut and contains vitamins C, A, B6, manganese, magnesium and antioxidants.
