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 ;-)
