The Chilled Out Egg Roll is a high protein lunch recipe that provides the body with amino acids such as tryptophan and glutamine. Such amino acids are important for modulating the stress response and helps to manage anxiety.

Sprouts are a good source of minerals such as magnesium that the body utilises readily during times of stress. Avocado and Salmon are both good sources of healthy fats that promotes optimal nervous system health and down regulate inflammation. The Nori provides the body with iodine, a trace mineral that can be difficult for us to find in the standard western diet. Iodine is essential for normal thyroid function; the thyroid gland if out of balance can lead to mood changes and digestive upset.
