Healthy, delicious and easy – 5x Lunch

Delicious and easy lunch!
Again even this short disclaimer: I can not claim all the credits for these recipes. Not that I want that, I just want to share some meals that make me happy.
Some ideas are mine, some are inspired by other recipes with my own touch to it.

Here I share some quick and healthy lunches so everybody can enjoy a healthy and delicious lunch. To make it even easier some of them are good for meal prepping, the pancakes, for example, make all your colleagues jealous with your lunch and tell them how to make it too.

Corn cracker with avocado, goat cheese and rucola

Three corn crakers

Half of an avocado

Some goat cheese

One hand of rucola

Optional you can add:

1 tomato

Slices the tomato, the avocado and the goat cheese. The only thing left to do is to stack everything on top of each other. I would start with the tomato, then the avocado, cheese and as last the rucola but that’s how I like it.
O and I like a pinch of salt on my avocado.

Alternative:

You can vary with the cheese. I love it with goat cheese, but buffalo mozzarella is also delicious! And in the pictures, I made it with a bit of feta.

Spinach and feta omelette on toast

2 hands full of spinach

2 eggs

2 slices of bread

A bit of feta

Place the bread in the toaster. Heat a frying pan with a little bit of oil. Place the spinach in the frying pan en cook it until it is almost ready. The spinach will shrink a lot and the colour turns into a darker green. If it all looks dark green and it is a lot smaller it is ready.
Break the eggs and pour them over the spinach. Sprinkle the feta on top. Wait until the eggs are ready and place them over your toast. Sprinkle a bit of salt on top and you are ready for your lunch!

Some veggies, some protein and some fibre in this delicious and quick lunch.

Dutch pancakes with cottage cheese and spinach

For the pancake batter

150 grams of self-rising flour

2 eggs

Half a litre of milk

20 grams of butter

pinch of salt

Topping

Cottage cheese

Fresh spinach

How much depends on how many pancakes you will eat with this.

Sift the flour. Sprinkle the salt on the flour and add the eggs. Start whisking and slowly add more and more milk. You need to end up with a quite thin batter to be able to make nice thin pancakes. So if you wish you can add more milk, but also not too much because then the pancakes will fall apart. This is a matter of experience.
Then melt the butter in a frying pan and mix this through the batter. Don’t clean the pan, this last bit of butter is immediately the grease you want against the sticking of the pancakes.
Pour a bit of batter in the pan and rotate the pan in different angles to spread the batter equally over the whole pan.
I like to bake on a high fire. When the top is dry and the pancakes lets go of the pan you can turn it.

When finished spread the cottage cheese over it and add spinach! So you have healthy delicious pancakes. Some veggies some protein and just some pancakes; because everyone needs pancakes sometimes!

As for the topping, you can think of a lot of different things.

Sugar-free raspberry jam is delicious

Just normal cheese is one of my favourites

Less healthy but oh so good: chocolate spread with strawberries

Salad wrap

One tortilla

Some salad

1 tomato

Some (black) olives

A quarter of a red onion

A bit of feta cheese

A little bit of olive oil

Optional you can add:

Cucumber

Pinenuts

Rucola

Cut the tomato in slices, the onion in small pieces and the olives in halves.
Place the salad on the tortilla, add the tomato, olives and onion. Spread the feta in small pieces over it and pour the oil on it.
Roll it and eat it!

After some salads I’m hungry with a half an hour, adding a tortilla helps to keep me full.

Salad with spinach, quinoa and goat cheese

A small hand of quinoa

Two hands of Spinach

Some goat cheese

One small sweet potato

A few cherry tomatoes

Two garlic cloves

Dressing:

Olive oil

Parsley

Lemon

salt

Pepper

Amounts depend a bit on your taste.

Optional you can add:

Avocado

Rucola

Roasted almonds

Peel the sweet potato and cut in pieces. Cut the garlic or use a garlic press. Spread the potato over a baking tray, sprinkle some olive oil and half of the garlic on top. Place it in a preheated oven on 200 degrees Celsius for around 15/ 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it. If they are getting golden brown stick a fork in it to check if they are done/ cooked.

Meanwhile, cook the quinoa in a pot with water. Make the dressing. Start with a tablespoon of lemon juice, add the garlic, a pinch of salt and/ or pepper and a bit of parsley. Lastly, add the olive oil keep adding until you like the flavour. Keep in mind that the flavour will be less strong if you pour it over the whole salad.

When the quinoa and sweet potato are ready let them cool down for a bit. Cut all the other ingredients and mix together in a bowl. Pour the dressing on top.
Ready to eat!
