Molly-Mae Hague has shared one of her favourite lunchtime combos — and it's perfect for anyone who needs a midday boost. In her latest YouTube video, aptly titled 'First vlog of the year', the Maebe founder revealed she's been loving toasties recently, and she paired her sandwich with a healthy side.
In her video, Molly-Mae explained she was making a cheese and ham toastie for her midday meal. "I actually don't know what I did before I had my toastie maker in my life," Molly-Mae shared. "I have two now, but this one I absolutely love. I love making toasties for lunch.".
She added: "I'm having a spot of tomato soup with that." Later in the clip, Molly-Mae revealed: "I don't actually love soup like it's not really my favourite thing ever, but with a toastie, I can get on board.". Of course, lots of people enjoy a toastie and soup for lunch. It's a classic pairing. Some may say it makes the perfect warming meal for a cold winter's day, but it could also offer a healthy choice for those looking to up their vitamin C intake.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from free radicals, which can damage cells and contribute to disease. It also helps maintain healthy skin, bones, cartilage, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Vitamin C strengthens your immune system, helps your body absorb iron and copper and may help reduce inflammation.
Healthline explains: "Tomato soup is an excellent source of antioxidants, including lycopene, flavonoids, and vitamins C and E, among many others. Consuming antioxidants has been linked with a lower risk of cancer and inflammation-related diseases, such as obesity and heart disease.
