A vegan vegetable frittata is a fantastic way to use up leftover veggies. Here’s a simple recipe you can follow:

# # # Vegan Vegetable Frittata

# # # # Ingredients:
- **1 cup** chickpea flour (gram flour)
- **1 1/4 cups** water
- **1/4 cup** nutritional yeast
- **1 tsp** baking powder
- **1/2 tsp** turmeric powder
- **Salt and pepper** to taste
- **2 cups** mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, spinach, zucchini, onions, mushrooms)
- **1 tbsp** olive oil (for cooking)
- **Fresh herbs** (e.g., parsley, chives, basil) and **dried herbs** (e.g., oregano, thyme) to taste

# # # # Instructions:

1. **Preheat Oven**: Preheat your oven to 190 C,

2. **Mix the Batter**: In a bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, water, nutritional yeast, baking powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper until smooth.

3. **Prepare Veggies**: Chop your vegetables into small pieces. You can sauté them in olive oil for about 5 minutes to soften them, or you can add them raw if you prefer a crunchier texture.

4. **Combine**: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable mixture with the chickpea batter. Add fresh and dried herbs.

5. **Bake**: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish or a cast-iron skillet. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is firm and slightly golden.

6. **Cool and Serve**: Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

# # # # Tips:
- Feel free to experiment with any vegetables you have on hand.
- You can also add spices like smoked paprika or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- This frittata can be stored in the fridge for a few days, making it a great meal prep option!

Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful frittata , as our Yogis do after morning Yoga session on a Yoga retreat 💚😁

Eating colorful foods can be a great way to boost your mood. Fruits and vegetables are not just visually appealing; they are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can enhance your overall well-being. Brightly colored foods like berries, peppers, and leafy greens can provide essential nutrients that improve brain function and energy levels.

On a rainy day, consider making a vibrant smoothie bowl or a salad filled with a variety of colors. It’s a fun way to bring some summer vibes to your day, even when the weather isn’t cooperating!

The real luxuries in life 🤍

Quinoa, often referred to as a “superfood,” holds various spiritual meanings across different cultures, primarily due to its historical significance and nutritional value. Here are some spiritual interpretations of quinoa:

1. **Nourishment and Abundance**: Quinoa is seen as a symbol of sustenance and abundance. It was a staple for the Inca civilization, who referred to it as the “mother grain.” In this context, it represents the idea of being nourished both physically and spiritually.

2. **Connection to the Earth**: As a grain that thrives in harsh conditions, quinoa symbolizes resilience and a deep connection to nature. It encourages mindfulness about our relationship with the earth and the importance of sustainable farming practices.

3. **Holistic Health**: Quinoa is packed with nutrients, which can represent holistic well-being. Its consumption is often associated with self-care and the idea of nurturing the body and spirit together.

4. **Unity and Diversity**: Quinoa comes in various colors and types, symbolizing diversity and the unity of different cultures and traditions. It serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of all beings.

5. **Transformation**: As a seed that transforms into a nutritious grain, quinoa symbolizes personal growth, transformation, and the journey of self-discovery.

Incorporating quinoa into your diet or practice can serve as a reminder of these spiritual themes, fostering a greater awareness of nourishment, resilience, and connection to the earth.!!
And that’s why we love serving Quinoa on our retreats!
Simple as that!!
Have a lovely, healthy,positive Sunday 💚
