Pearled barley is a nutritious grain that is processed a step further than other types of barley. This makes it easier to prepare as it cooks faster. It is also more palatable than barley that retains most of its bran. It is an excellent low fat, low cholesterol food. It is a good source of dietary fiber, energy, protein, vitamins and minerals!

Korean BBQ Stir Fry with Chicken & Cashew Nuts
Stir Fries are such a fantastic way to get vitamins and other micronutrients in. Vitamin-C deteriorates when exposed to higher temperatures, but stir fries are cooked for a short period of time, which means vegetables have reduced exposure to heat. This Korean BBQ sauce came from Rebel Chilli - An Irish company based in Cork!
Chicken Teriyaki with Bok Choy and Basmati Rice
Better than takeout and made with just a few ingredients, this Asian chicken dinner idea is one of our most popular dishes! Sweet, garlicky chicken served with rice and toasted cashews to add a little crunch, it comes together in just about 20 minutes.
Light and Healthy Chicken Alfredo
This alfredo is a much lighter take on the traditional version, using low fat creme fraiche in place of cream, and reducing the amount of parmesan cheese. There is also the addition of chicken, which provides some protein, and semi-sundried tomatoes for flavour and freshness!
Aromatic Shredded Hoisin Chicken Wraps
A healthier and easier alternative to the chinese takeaway favourite - these hoisin chicken wraps are a great mid-week meal. Topped with crunchy fresh veg, these wraps are high in protein and low in fat, as well as being a good source of carbohydrate. These wraps would make a great post-workout meal!
