Saltfish Buljol Meal Prep

Meal prep this week is also lent friendly. Trini salt fish buljol is low calorie (107 cals per serving), healthy and a good way to get those veggies in. I usually pair it with some sprouted toast, sada roti or some hard boiled eggs for a very filling meal that falls in under 300 calories
