10 minutes prep
20 minutes cook
6 servings

Ingredients

Salad

3x GreenSkin® or PurpleSkin® Avocados – Firm Ripe
2 cups of Baby Spinach
1 cup of Mizuna (or rocket as an alternative)
6 eggs
2 bunches of Broccolini

Pumpkin

1 Jap Pumpkin cut in 12 wedges, seeds cleaned with skin left on
Salt and Pepper to season
Spray Coconut Oil

Quinoa

1 cup Quinoa
1 cup of Water
1 cup of Bone Broth
1/2 teaspoon Salt

Unless you’re sure you have purchased rinsed Quinoa, rinse it thoroughly in a fine strainer to remove the skins.  The skins are what make Quinoa taste bitter.
Drain the Quinoa and pat dry with paper towel to remove residual bitterness
