Beef and broccoli
Beef is rich in protein and iron which is good for red blood cells. They take oxygen to your organs. Broccoli has vitamin C which helps your body take in iron.
The edible garden
This dish is very creative and intriguing, it represents a mini garden in a bucket with dukkah as soil and beetroot and carrots as growing veggies. The salad has also surprise ingredients at the bottom such as kale, sweet potatoes, beetroot, fennel seeds and tahini dressing.
Dukkah is an Egyptian condiment that consists of a mixture of herbs, nuts (usually hazelnut), and spices. It is typically used as a dip with bread or vegetables. You can combine this salad with chicken, meat or fish to maximize your protein intake.
It is anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and hormone balancing with an intense flavor of spices and seeds.

Bell pepper contains a lot of vitamin C as well as bok choy, papaya, strawberries and cauliflower which is good for eye blood vessels . Colored peppers are also rich in vitamin A and E.
Kale, spinach, and collard greens are rich in both vitamins C and E. They also have plant-based forms of vitamin A which lowers your risk of long-term eye diseases.
Omega-3s plays a role in preventing dry eyes.
Orange-colored fruits and vegetables — like sweet potatoes, carrots, cantaloupe, mangos, and apricots — are high in beta-carotene, a form of vitamin A that helps with your eyes’ ability to adjust to darkness.
Zinc in lean meat and poultry brings vitamin A from your liver to your retina, where it’s used to make the protective pigment melanin. Oysters have more zinc per serving than any other food, but beef, pork, and chicken (both dark and breast meat) are all good sources.
The yellow-orange color of egg yolks also contains compounds that blocks harmful blue light from damaging your retina.
I had that quinoa porridge for brunch during my Yoga teacher training.
