A quick post today to share a super simple, super delicious lunch idea (or dinner! or side dish!) It takes less than 10 minutes to throw together and is really just so yummy.
Gather: some of your pre-cooked quinoa (you well-prepared home cook, you!), kale, coconut oil, garlic, and gomasio (learn about how to make your own here, or pick up from any health food store).
Are you ready for how quick this is? You could prepare this the night before, or even take a couple of minutes in the morning before work to prepare and pack this for lunch. Ready?
Lightly sauté your kale and garlic with oil. Toss with quinoa and gomasio.
Time investment: 5 minutes prepping the kale, 5 minutes cooking the kale. 30 seconds combining everything else. Done!
