A simple, balanced meal packed with protein, fibre, and fresh flavours. This Mediterranean-inspired bowl is perfect after a workout or as a nourishing midweek meal that supports energy, recovery, and overall well-being.
Method
- Cook the quinoa according to the packet instructions and set aside.Meanwhile, season your chosen protein with olive oil, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
If using chicken or beef, cook in a pan over medium heat for around 6–8 minutes until cooked through. If using prawns, cook for 2–3 minutes until pink and tender.
