Chloé’s 3 simple and delicious superfood recipes

Not only are the ingredients known as superfoods chock-full of antioxidants, they are also delicious and can add another dimension to your favourite recipes. Read on for 3 recipe ideas to take you from the breakfast to the dinner table.

It didn’t take me long to realize that if I wanted to live my life at a 100 miles per hour, feel good and have healthy looking skin, I needed to start thinking about nutrition. So I started to read books about naturopathy, ancient medicines and all sorts of other healthy eating guides. My rules are pretty simple: good fats, no refined sugars, enough protein and, wherever possible, some superfoods to really boost the nutritional content of my diet from morning till night.

Breakfast: Bulletproof matcha

I became a fan of intermittent fasting during lockdown. When you are working from home you don’t feel the same need to eat before leaving the house. And after a while I realised that I was eating in the morning more out of habit than hunger. Having said that, if you don’t want to die of hunger by 11 o’clock, it’s handy to have a recipe that gives you the energy you need to see you through the morning. I created this one made from matcha tea and adaptogens. It’s rich in antioxidants and the coconut oil is full of short-chain fatty acids that can be easily transformed into energy by the body. 

Ingredients

  • 100 ml hot water
  • 100 ml almond or coconut milk (with no added sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon of Magic Matcha Latte of Maison Loüno
  • 1 soup spoon of cold pressed coconut oil (or Ghee for an even more delicious, buttery taste)
  • A couple of drops of orange flower water
  • Warm the milk in a little pan or a milk frother and heat the water. 
  • Once the liquids are warm but not at boiling point, place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until everything is well mixed together. 
  • Taste without waiting and take advantage of it to take your favorite food supplements, for me it is L'Essential Skin de Combeau:-)

Lunch: Spring salad

All my lunches are more or less based on the same recipe, i.e. a big salad with gluten-free grains (quinoa, buckwheat, lentil pasta, chickpeas, wholegrain rice), raw or cooked seasonal vegetables, a protein (feta, small fish, eggs), some grains to make it crunchy and a good vinaigrette to bring it all together. 

Ingredients: 

For the salad

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

For the vinaigrette

  • 2 soup spoons of tahina or white sesame purée
  • 1 heaped teaspoon Activist Manuka Honey
  • The juice of ½ a lemon
  • 2 soup spoons of warm water
  • Salt, pepper
  • Start by rinsing and cooking the quinoa. For one cup of raw quinoa add two cups of water to a pan, boil and leave to simmer gently until all the water has been absorbed. 
  • Slice the fennel and the radishes finely with a mandolin. 
  • Cut up the almonds and crumble the feta. 
  • Place all the ingredients in a salad bowl. 
  • For the dressing, bring a bowl and a tablespoon. Mix the tahini and hot water, then add the lemon and finally the manuka honey. Add salt and pepper. 
  • Pour the vinaigrette onto the salad and taste!

Dinner: Green gazpacho with a twist

On summer evenings, I often prepare cold soups. I love gazpacho but I got tired of it and 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: We want ... a collagen boosterAtelier Nubio's. 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 cm of ginger
  • 1 whole lime (zest and juice)
  • 1 small cup of coconut milk
  • 1 stick of “On veut un booster de collagène” by Atelier Nubio
  • Seeds for the topping
  • Salt, pepper
  • Put all the ingredients except the seeds in a powerful blender and mix together.
  • If your ingredients weren’t in the fridge, add a couple of cubes of ice. 
  • Place the soup in a bowl and add the seeds to give texture and something to chew on. I also like to add a few drops of a good, cold-pressed oil. 
  • Enjoy ;-)
