Mango Coconut Quinoa

This Mango Coconut Quinoa makes a delicious lunch or dinner! It’s healthy, vegan, gluten-free and fuss-free.

The ingredients are simple, making it a quick and easy recipe, (especially during the work-week when we have busy schedules). It’s made by sautéing spinach with a bit of coconut oil. Then adding cooked quinoa and mango chunks, and finally pouring in some coconut milk and a splash of lemon juice.

This Mango Coconut Quinoa dish is part of my 3-day Cleanse, but I make it all the time when looking for a wholesome and healthy lunch. The coconut cream makes it deliciously comforting, and the fats help to keep you full. We are sneaking in quite a bit of greens by sautéing the spinach. (I also like to use kale, but it’s not always easy to find in France).

Quinoa is a gluten-free grain and high in protein, which is great for keeping us full and satiated. Sprinkled with a little cayenne pepper and sea salt to sprinkle and it’s a heavenly healthy dish.

Enjoy this Mango Coconut Quinoa for lunch or dinner. Or, have it amongst my 3-Day Cleanse if you’re looking to re-energize and de-bloat.
