Qucik Meals You Can Prepare in 15 mins!

Garby & Friends

Have you scratched your head at times and wondered what's for lunch or dinner!  Well, if you are in a rush or just simply want a quick and yet delicious meal, here are some 15-20 min meals I had quickly prepared which were just simply cheap, healthy, tasty and nutritious!  Remember, it is not always how much you eat but what you eat that matters and detrimental to your long term good health!

1. A big salad of green leaves, celery, mushroom, 
capsicum, onion, garlic, ginger

Corn Couscous - only 5 mins to cook

Grilled egg plant in Italian herbs

We had first cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, Udo oil, flax seed oil, cut chillies and home-made chilli oil for our dressings.  We had grilled egg plant, corn couscous and avocado as side dishes!  Walla!

2. Cucumber, tomato, onion salad; avocado, strawberry, corn couscous, gluten free bread, chilli, miso soup.  Drizzle your plate with lots of extra virgin olive oil.  Walla!

3. Spinach leaves, carrot, tomato, onions, banana, 
sprinkled with dukkah 

4. Orange Salad

5. Raw Spaghetti in tomato sauce with  
grilled potato chips on lettuce

 Combine the following ingredients:

• Shred 1 zucchini
• Dice1 medium tomato
• Dice 2 stalks celery
• Dice 1 potato
• 1 tsp curry powder
• ½ tsp sea salt
• Heat 1 cup tomato sauce 
• Nutritional Yeast Flakes (replace Parmesan cheese)  

6. How about try Joy's latest Raw Spinach Spaghetti:   

• Blend some ginger, garlic, onion, 2 cups spinach leaves, 1 tomato and Celtic sea salt in a blender.
• Cut 1/2 capsicum into small pieces and shred 1 small zucchini.
• Combine all ingredients into a bowl.
• Drizzle with nutritionist yeast flakes. 

Nutritional yeast is packed with nutrition, particularly B-vitamins, folic acid, selenium, zinc, and protein. It’s low in fat, gluten-free (check specific brands for certification), and contains no added sugars or preservatives. Because vitamin B12 is absent from plant foods unless it’s added as a supplement, nutritional yeast that contains B12 is a great addition to the raw or vegetarian diet!

• Enjoy!

7. Medley of greens drizzled with sesame seeds

8. Sometimes, we crack open the coconut for its thirst quenching and refreshing coconut juice and its white juicy flesh!  

Yummy!
