Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale
  • 3 large eggs (preferably free-range)
  • 6 oz lean beef or grass-fed ground beef
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) roasted and unsalted pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • Optional: 4 oz fatty fish like salmon or mackerel
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (120 ml) Greek yogurt
  • Optional: 1 oz (28 g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients (10 minutes): Wash greens thoroughly and chop into bite-size pieces. Mince garlic and grate ginger. Toast pumpkin seeds lightly in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Cook the Meat and Aromatics (15 minutes): Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add beef or fish, season with salt and pepper, cook until browned and cooked through (5-7 minutes for beef, 3-4 minutes per side for fish). Add more olive oil if pan gets dry.
  3. Sauté the Greens (5 minutes): Remove meat or fish to a plate and cover. In the same pan, add remaining olive oil and greens. Toss and cook until wilted but vibrant green (2-3 minutes). Season with turmeric powder.
  4. Cook the Eggs (5 minutes): In a separate pan, cook eggs as preferred (scrambled, fried, or poached) with a pinch of black pepper and a little butter if desired.
  5. Assemble Your Plate (2 minutes): Arrange sautéed greens on plate, add meat or fish, top with cooked eggs, sprinkle pumpkin seeds and sliced avocado. Optionally, grate dark chocolate over avocado or add Greek yogurt on the side.
  6. Final Touches: Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Notes

Do not overcook greens to keep them vibrant and nutritious. Toast pumpkin seeds gently to avoid burning. Use wild-caught fatty fish for best omega-3 and vitamin D content. Multitask by prepping greens and toasting seeds while meat cooks. Garlic cooks fast and burns easily, so watch carefully. Eggs can be cooked to preference; runny yolks are nutrient-rich. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
