  A very tasty way to prepare chickpeas is to make falafels. All the herbs, spices and the crunchiness on the outside make them the perfect protagonist of a mediterranean dining table.  Also a great substitute for meatballs for my meat-lovers out there.  Falafels are for people who love flavor, very easy to make and if you meal prep, you can easily make them in bulk and consume them later (I‘ll write about how you can do this in the end). Ingredients: 2 cups of dry chickpeas  1 cup of edamame beans 1,5 cups of fresh parsley  1,5 cups of fresh cilantro  1 cup of fresh dill 2 tbsp of tahini 2 tbsp of cumin 1/2 medium onion 6-8 cloves of garlic  1 tsp baking powder  1 tbsp ground pepper  1-2 tbsp salt  (optional) 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds oil for frying  Preparation: RECIPE VIDEO 1.The preparation for this recipe begins the night before by soaking the chickpeas in a big bowl of water. 2.After soaking them in water they should h...

To me, ideas come out of nowhere, because my mind wonders all day long all over the place and sometimes the light bulb shines over my head. This is exactly how this recipe was put together in my imaginative kitchen. I thought well about the sweetness of the sweet potato, the creaminess of coconut sauce, the freshness of the spinach with that hint of metallic taste and also the spice of ginger & garlic.

For example 1 serving = 1 huge handful of spinach, because spinach shrinks a lot. Now let’s hop onto it... Ingredients: sweet potato (450g) 2 cups of flour  1 tbsp fresh ginger  2 cloves of garlic  1 can of coconut milk  5-6 handfuls of spinach  oregano 1 1/2 t...

Smoothie bowls were my signature post on my instagram ( @eatwithsteff ) until my blender broke. At the moment I’m really missing them, because they were my favorite thing to make.  In fact smoothies are the best way to start your day, because the best time to eat fruit is in the morning [ the fructose in the morning is the best fuel for your brain and the best food for your digestion as it’s full of fiber ] + your body feels lighter and full of energy at the same time.  Here are my top 4 smoothie bowls:  The first one is „The Sunshine“ smoothie, which consists of: 1 cup of frozen mango, 1 frozen banana, 1 persimmon, 1/2 orange and 100 ml of soy milk. I topped it with some extra diced persimmon, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds and shredded coconut. The second one is „The Berry Cotton Candy“ smoothie, which consists of: 1,5 frozen banana, 5 frozen strawberries, 1/4 cup of frozen blackberries, 1 tbsp of chia seeds and 150 ml of almond milk. I topped this with some...
