Chloé's simple and delicious "superfood" recipes

Superfoods are not only antioxidant bombshells for our health, their unique flavor can also add a new dimension to our dishes. Here are 3 recipe ideas to inspire you, from breakfast to dinner.

I soon realized that, if I wanted to continue living my life at 100 miles an hour, while staying in shape and with beautiful skin, nutrition would have a major role to play in those goals. So I started looking into nutrition early on, devouring an untold number of books on naturopathy, ancient medicines and other "healthy" cooking guides. My rules of the game are simple: few fast sugars, good fats, sufficient protein and, above all, superfoods to boost the nutritional content of my plates ... from morning to night!

Lunch: Spring salad

My breakfasts are pretty much all based on the same recipe, i.e. a big salad with gluten-free starches (quinoa, buckwheat, lentil pasta, chickpeas, brown rice ...), raw or cooked seasonal vegetables, a protein (feta, small fish, eggs), seeds for crunch and a good vinaigrette to bind it all together. 

Ingredients: 

For the salad

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • ½ block of feta
  • 1 fennel
  • pink radishes
  • a handful of almonds

For the vinaigrette

  • 2 tablespoons tahini, or white sesame purée
  • 1 heaped teaspoon Activist Manuka Honey
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • Salt and pepper
  • Start by rinsing and cooking the quinoa. For 1 cup of raw quinoa, add 2 cups of water to a saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer until all the water is absorbed. 
  • Slice the fennel and radishes thinly with a mandolin. 
  • Coarsely crush the almonds and crumble the feta. 
  • Arrange all the ingredients in a shallow dish. 
  • For the vinaigrette, use a bowl and a tablespoon. Mix the tahini with the hot water, then add the lemon and finally the manuka honey. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and enjoy!

Dinner: Green gazpacho with a twist

On summer evenings, I often make myself cold soups. I love gazpacho, but after eating so much of it, I got bored, so I started experimenting with the same recipe, but with different ingredients. Here, it's an ultra-creamy cold soup, rich in fatty acids and collagen thanks to one of my favorite supplements: On veut ... un booster de collagène fromAtelier Nubio

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 1 lawyer
  • 1 cm Ginger
  • 1 Lime, zest and juice
  • 1 small cup cold coconut milk
  • 1 stick of "on veut un booster de collagène", Atelier Nubio
  • Seeds for topping
  • Salt and pepper
  • Place all the ingredients - except the seeds - in a powerful blender and blend!
  • If your ingredients were not chilled, add a few ice cubes. 
  • Place the soup in a bowl and add seeds for a little lamb's lettuce, as well as a few drops of a good cold-pressed oil. 
  • Enjoy immediately and don't forget to chew ;-)
