It’s always quite hard to find the perfect balance between all the meals in a day. Sometimes you feel like having a tiny salad because you are thinking about the scrumptious burger you ate last night. But you know that right after that you’ll crave for a delicious snackbar. How about we find the right fit for you? Here is our first healthy lunch we would suggest…
Red Quinoa, with slightly cooked cherry tomatoes and avocado slices
Time needed: 25 mins (the time to cook your Quinoa so it is soft and nice)
Ingredients (serves 2-3 people):
- half a cup of red quinoa
- 1 avocado

Preparation:
- Put your Quinoa in a pan and some hot water, bring to boil and then let simmer until the quinoa doesn’t crunch under your teeth. About 20 mins.
- In the meantime slice your tomatoes in 2. Warm a spoonfool of oliveoil in a frying pan and when hot put the tomatoes leaving them to cook gently. Turn them every now and then to get them grilled on both sides. Add some salt and pepper.
