I will provide simple but very nutritious recipes that
can be easily prepared at home. I will list all the ingredients
necessary to prepare meals that are highly nutritious, delicious,
and fairily quick and simple. Nutrient dense foods provide most of
the nutrients that our body needs in order to function and stays healthy.
In addition to that, nutrient dense foods is lower in calories, which can
help to control body weight, and the feeling of satiety. It is important
to reduce, or even avoid processed foods altogether to maximize
overall health. Small steps at the time can go a long way when it comes
to start a journey towards a healthier lifestyle. Down below, I will start with
a plant based meal that can also be modified according to one's liking.
Ingredients:
Quinoa 1/2 cup
Lentils 1 cup
Zucchini 1 large
Bell pepper (whatever color) 1 small
Cauliflower 1 cup
Avocado 1 medium
Start by boiling water with a spoon of salt in it (you can adjust the amount of salt
according to your health and needs) when the water boils add 1/2 cup of quinoa
that takes about 15 min to cook. Taste it first before draiing the water. In the mean
time, wash and cut the vegetables in small pieces so that they will cook faster.
Little cubes are the best. They usually cook in 10 or 12 min maximum.
When all the vegetables are cooked and salted (again regulate the amount of salt
added, which you can leave it at the very last minute once the vegetables are cooked)
add the quinoa so that they will all blend together and they will get the flavor. If you
like it, you can also add grated ginger and garlic, and black pepper. On the top, add avocado cut in cubes.
The all preparation takes about 30 minutes, it is very satisfying, highly nutritious, and colorful.
Enjoy!
Stay tune for more..
