#Cellcare ingredient health benefits

QUINOA | COMPLETE PROTEIN AND FIBER

Quinoa is one of the few plant-based sources of complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. It’s also packed with fiber, which supports digestive health, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and promotes satiety. Rich in antioxidants and minerals like magnesium and iron, quinoa is a nourishing base for any meal.

AVOCADO | HEART-HEALTHY FATS

Avocados are an excellent source of monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy and can help reduce inflammation. They are also packed with fiber, potassium, and antioxidants, which support digestive health, maintain healthy blood pressure, and promote glowing skin.

SWEET POTATO | NUTRIENT DENSITY AND ANTIOXIDANTS

Sweet potatoes are loaded with beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A for immune support and healthy vision. They are also high in fiber and complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy and promoting healthy digestion.

KALE | ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND NUTRIENT-RICH

Kale is a superfood packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants like quercetin and kaempferol. This leafy green supports immune health, reduces inflammation, and improves bone health. Kale also provides fiber, which promotes gut health and supports digestion.

WELLKHANA KITCHEN RECIPE

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup quinoa (uncooked)

  • 1 small sweet potato, peeled and cubed

  • 1 cup kale, chopped

  • 1/2 cup chickpeas (canned or cooked)

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

  • 2 tablespoons tahini

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Olive oil for roasting

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Quinoa | Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine the quinoa with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the water is absorbed. Set aside.

  2. Roast the Sweet Potato | Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potato in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and tender, flipping halfway through.

  3. Prepare the Chickpeas | If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them. In a pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the chickpeas, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly crispy.

  4. Prepare the Tahini Dressing | In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup (optional), salt, and pepper. Add a little water if the dressing is too thick to reach your desired consistency.

  5. Assemble the Buddha Bowl | In a bowl, layer the cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potato, sautéed chickpeas, kale, and sliced avocado. Drizzle with the tahini dressing and garnish with any extras like seeds, nuts, or herbs.

  6. Serve and Enjoy | Enjoy your nourishing Superfood Buddha Bowl with Tahini Dressing immediately, or store it in the fridge for a meal later!
