healthy and balanced recipes
A light, nutritious, and perfectly balanced bowl that combines creamy rice, spicy kimchi, fresh herbs, and perfectly runny egg yolk. It's ready in minutes and is perfect for days when you're short on time and want something tasty for lunch or dinner.
This bowl full of aromas and colors is exactly the type of food that will warm you up from the inside and provide your body with a good dose of nutrients. I softened the creamy red lentil dhal cooked in vegetable broth and tomato passata sauce with soy cream, seasoned it with spices, and served it with fresh herbs. To make it a little more special, I added roasted carrots in a miso marinade, which caramelize beautifully when roasted and give the dish a slightly sweet umami flavor. You can serve it with basmati rice—or if you want a lighter version, you can leave it out. It's the perfect comfort food for dinner or meal prep for those days when you're short on time. 🌿
After the holidays, most of us feel that our digestion needs a little "lightening" and support. Heavier meals, less exercise... all of this can manifest itself in fatigue, bloating, or a general feeling of heaviness. A great way to get back to feeling light is to simplify your diet, focusing on mild foods, high-quality protein, fiber, and warm dishes that support digestion.
That's why I've prepared a simple meal prep that will last you several days – without stress, calorie counting, and with an emphasis on making you feel good.

Thanks to the combination of oats, eggs, and protein, it keeps you full for a long time, but remains soft, moist, and slightly creamy.

Just turn on the oven, prepare a baking dish with vegetables and meat, and while everything is baking, make a quick breakfast cake.

Everything is made from commonly available ingredients, nothing complicated – but the result is colorful, tasty, and nutritionally well-balanced.
