Method
Rinse the quinoa5, add 170 ml water, season with salt, and cook for 15 minutes until tender, then leave covered for 3 minutes.
Lower the eggs1 into boiling water and cook for 7–8 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are soft, then cool and peel.
Halve the cherry3 tomatoes, slice the avocado2, and drizzle with lemon8 juice.
Quickly warm the spinach in a pan with 3 ml olive oil for 1 minute, until the leaves just wilt.
Mix the remaining olive oil, lemon8 juice, salt, and pepper.
Spoon the quinoa5 into a bowl as the base, add the eggs1, avocado2, cherry3 tomatoes, and spinach in sections, drizzle with the dressing, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Tips
- Why it works
- Rinse the quinoa to remove the bitter coating that can get in the way of digestion. Cook until soft, not falling apart, or the bowl will be crumbly.
- Substitutions
- Instead of cherry tomatoes, take 100 g pitted cherries or 1 small tomato cut into cubes. Instead of avocado, use 100 g soft banana, but make the dressing without lemon.
- Common mistakes
- If the spinach is still bright green and watery, it isn't cooked enough. It should turn dull and slightly wilted.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep for 2 days in the fridge, but add the avocado and eggs fresh before eating. Reheat only the quinoa and spinach with the dressing, 1 minute each in the microwave.
- Serve with
- Serve with a cup of green tea or coffee to balance the richness of the avocado and quinoa. Good for workdays when you need something quick and filling.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
