Carbs

Don't forget a source of carbohydrates – here we've used cooked quinoa.
Ingredients
- 300 gram Quinoa
2/6

Vegetables

Add whatever vegetables you fancy, cooked or raw. Steamed broccoli or sliced carrot work well, but really almost anything goes. Sprouts are a great addition too.
Ingredients
- 200 gram Broccoli
- 60 gram Carrot
- 20 gram Mung Bean Sprouts

Protein

Always include a source of protein, such as an egg (or swap in tofu, tempeh or fish instead).
Ingredients
- 55 gram Chicken Eggs

Legumes

Legumes work brilliantly here too – we've gone with chickpeas.
Ingredients
- 150 gram Canned Chickpeas

Finishing touches

Finish with a "sauce" to bring it all together – think chickpea hummus, guacamole or a yoghurt-based dressing. Soy sauce, fish sauce or a sprinkle of spices work well too.
Ingredients
- 150 gram Hummus

Tip:

You can swap the quinoa for rice, bulgur or noodles as your base. If you don't have any leftover grains at home, couscous is a great option too – it's easy to make fresh, even just for one serving.
