Nourish Bowl: Tuna + Quinoa

When it comes to eating fresh, there’s no need for it to be complicated. I’m all about keeping things super simple, whilst still making sure i’m getting a good bit of nutrition along the way.

Canned Tuna is one of my GO-TO’s in the kitchen. A main reason in particular being, it’s an inexpensive source of protein. If you are looking to lose weight, canned tuna is a good option because it is low in calories yet high in protein. Also, despite being low in fat, tuna is still considered a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (Omega-3s are essential dietary fats that are beneficial for heart, eye, and brain health. Fish is considered an important source of getting these healthy fats in your diet).

Ingredients

1/2 a can of tinned tuna

cooked quinoa -

(this can be cooked fresh or pre-cooked microwave pouches work just as well)

houmous

spinach

pepper

cashews

pumpkin seeds

yogurt

How-To:

Simply mix the tuna in a bowl with some light mayonnaise, or plain yogurt and add a pinch of salt + a generous amount of black pepper.

Add the cooked quinoa and tuna into a bowl, alongside a portion of fresh spinach leaves, diced pepper and a spoonful of houmous .

For a bit of crunch, I like to top it off with some cashew nuts, pumpkin seeds, and then a drizzle of plain yogurt.

Super simple, super easy + a good dose of goodness.
