High protein bowl for weight loss – 5 mins
Takes 5 minutes
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 200 g pack of pre-cooked quinoa
- 1 x 400g tin of black beans
- 8 cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 2 fresh radishes
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 x 200g block of firm tofu
- 2 tbsp Tamari/soy sauce
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp of pumpkin seeds
- Fresh herb of choice or micro greens (to garnish)
Instructions
- Place a non-stick pan over high heat.
- Chop the tofu block into small cubes.
- Add the cubed tofu to the pan and cook for 4 minutes, stirring regularly. When it starts to stick, deglaze the pan by adding a couple of tablespoons of water and incorporating the flavour. Steam should rise, helping to cook the tofu.
- Drain and rinse the black beans. Add them to a bowl along with the ground coriander and lime juice. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the beans. Mix well.
- Assemble your bowls: divide the pre-cooked quinoa between 2 wide bowls. Divide the bean mixture between both bowls. Slice the radishes into thin circles and distribute them evenly between the bowls. Scoop the avocado half onto a chopping board, slice into strips, and divide between the bowls.
- Add the tamari, nutritional yeast, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds to the tofu. Stir to incorporate and cook for a further minute before turning off the heat.
- Top each bowl with the tofu.
- Garnish with chopped herbs or microgreens and enjoy!
