"One man's superfood may be another person's poison"

I'm a true believer that we are all unique and have different needs and each one of us react different with all kinds of foods.

Some of us are privileged that the body does not react to anything no matter what we eat... For others, not so much. There is a lot of people dealing with many food restrictions and allergies.

That is why it is important to listen to YOUR needs. What works for me might not work for you and vice versa.

I am constantly playing with my diet and listening to what my body needs.

Today I woke up wanting a plant based day, so I made it happen.

Here it some recipes to can work as inspiration factors for you and the beauty of it all, is that you can play with whatever you have in your refrigerator.

For breakfast:

Veggie Bowl

Ingredients: 1 serving

- 1 cup chopped onions

- 2 chopped bok choy

- 1 fresh corn out of the cob

- 1 cup chopped green cabbage

- 2 chopped red chard leafs

- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds

- 1/2 tbs hemp seeds

- 1/2 tbs sesame seeds

- 1 tbsp avocado oil

- salt & red pepper flakes

- 1/2 avocado

- hot sauce (optional)

---

Directions: heat a medium saute pan in medium high, add the avocado oil and the onions and let it cook for 3 min. Start adding the veggies in order of the list and let them cook for around 8 minutes total (all the veggies used in this bowl cook fast, so you can let it cook longer if you like them more mushy texture or less if you like more al dente style - your call!). After everything is cooked sprinkle the seeds on top, added the avocado and the hot sauce for last.

Voila!

For lunch I gathered a bunch of leftovers together. A great tip I like to give it is to cook in big batches, for example things like Quinoa that is such a easy add on for so many things. If you are already cooking, why not make a big batch to have on hands later?

Quinoa Bowl

Ingredients: 1 serving

- 1 cup cooked quinoa

- 1 chopped green onion

- 2 tbsp cooked black beans

- 1 cup cooked acorn pumpkin

- 1 cup cauliflower rice

- 1/4 avocado

- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tbsp rice vinegar

- hot sauce

---

Directions: In mixing bowl add all the ingredients and enjoy them cold or you could heat it up. For this meal I ate cold!

Bon Appetit
