Hi all, I want to start this topic to share recipes (preferably fast and easy, but healthy ones) :slightly_smiling_face:

I will start with three quick cucumber salads as I like to eat them a lot lately :sweat_smile:

Asian Cucumber Salad:

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cucumber
  • 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons of sesame oil

Just slice the cucumber and cut the garlic clove small and mix it with the rest of the ingredients.

Peanutbutter Cucumber Salad

Just like before, slice the cucumber and cut the garlic clove small and mix it with the rest of the ingredients.

Spicy Thuna Cucumber Salad

Don’t worry about not having recipes of your own, one day you will have some :slight_smile: When I was your age, I lived off junk food and cheap ready-made meals :sweat_smile:

I’m happy to read that you want to try my recipes :blush:

I will definetely share more in the future.

These are not recipes, more like two short hints:

  • You can top protein wraps just like pizzas. Pros: it’s healthier than pizza dough and the “best before” date on protein wraps are usually relatively far in the future compared to ready-made pizza dough, so you can just have it always at home without worrying that it will spoil fast.

  • omelet is perfect for any kind of leftovers (vegetables, cheese, sausages, etc.) as you can mix pretty much everything in it

Cottage Cheese Chips with Yogurt Dip

Ingredients:

  • 200g Cottage Cheese
  • 50g flour (you can subtitute a part of the flour with protein powder, but I would not recommend to substitute more than 15g)
  • 100g cherry tomatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 150g natural yogurt
  • Chili powder
  • Salt & Pepper
  • chives (either fresh or frozen)
  • parsley (either fresh or frozen)

Cut the cherry tomatoes in small pieces and mix them with cottage cheese, flour, olive oil, spices, chives and parsley. Use a tablespoon to make chips (about the size of cookies) on an oven rack with baking paper. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, the setting depends of the oven type, but I would recommend the same one you would use for a pizza.
In the meantime, mix the yogurt with the same spices and herbs (salt, pepper, chili, chives, parsley) you used for the chips.

Bon appétit :fork_and_knife:

Carrot stick with Feta cheese

Ingredients:

  • Carrots
  • Olive Oil
  • Thyme
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Feta Cheese
  • Mustard
  • balsamic vinegar
  • Honey
  • Water

Cut the carrots to sticks (approx. the size of fries), put them on a baking tray with baking paper. Drip olive oil and honey over them, add salt, pepper and thyme. Mix them to make sure that the carrot sticks are evenly covered with the other ingredients.
Bake them for about 30-40 minutes, the setting depends of the oven type, but I would recommend the same one you would use for a pizza.
In the meantime, mix one tea spoon of olive oil, one of honey, one of mustard, one of water and one of balsamic vinegar with salt and pepper in a small bowl. Cut the Feta cheese in small pieces.
When the carrot sticks are fully baked, serve them with the “dressing” and the feta cheese on top.
