Applesauce Overnight Oats
Macromodule VORO. By Thomas, Ambassador from DACH Region.

Coco Almond Pancakes
Macromodule EQUES. By Carlo, Ambassador from Italy.
“I love these pancakes. They are a very nourishing, protein-rich meal, flavoured with coconut flakes – my favourite ingredient. Nothing left to say than: Byebye sugar, hello gains! ;-).”

Black Rice Salad with Butternut Squash
Macromodule CALEO. By Manu – Ambassador from France.
“I love to mix sweet and savory tastes in the same dish. Especially the salad sauce – made of lime, and tahini brings a nice twist to the entire dish with a touch of exotism and freshness. A great summer salad full of flavours with amazing colors – perfect after a long day at work.”
Carrot Curry Soup with Smoked Salmon
Macromodule STATERA. By Sophia, Ambassador from DACH Region.

Chicken Saltimbocca with Mixed Salad

Quinoa Salad with Shrimps
Macromodule STATERA. By Cini, Ambassador from DACH Region.
