1. Cold coconut matcha (Vegetarian)

Rezeptkarte der Foodpunk-App: Cold Kokos-Matcha, 10 Minuten

A summery matcha shake with creamy coconut yoghurt, fresh mint and fruity raspberries. A refreshing combination for warm days. The mix of matcha, berries and ice cubes provides a real kick of freshness and a pleasant cooling effect. The perfect start to your day!

Tip from nutritional science: Raspberries are real nutrient packages: they contain plenty of fibre, which can contribute to normal digestion, as well as polyphenols (phytochemicals) with antioxidant properties. They also supply vitamin C, which among other things supports the immune system and the protection of the cells from oxidative stress.

2. Super speedy lunch of tomato and mozzarella with rocket (Vegetarian)

Rezeptkarte der Foodpunk-App: Tomate und Mozzarella mit Rucola, 10 Minuten

A classic for higher temperatures. Aromatic tomatoes and creamy mozzarella meet high-quality olive oil and crunchy pine nuts. This Mediterranean combination wins you over with freshness and a fine flavour. Wonderful as a quick meal or a light side dish on mild summer evenings.

With olive oil it is worth looking out for „extra virgin olive oil“ (extra vergine). This description stands for the highest quality grade. The polyphenols it contains are particularly valuable, phytochemicals with antioxidant properties. It is best stored in the dark and should not be heated strongly over long periods, so that the valuable components are preserved as far as possible.

3. Quick courgette lasagne

Rezeptkarte der Foodpunk-App: Schnelle Zucchini-Lasagne, 30 Minuten

This courgette lasagne brings Mediterranean pleasure to the plate: fine courgette, aromatic herbs, a spicy tomato sauce with minced meat and melted mozzarella come together to make a hearty, filling meal. The combination of fresh vegetables, sweet potato and spices provides variety and summery comfort food.

Tip from nutritional science: Courgette consists largely of water and at the same time supplies fibre, which can contribute to normal digestion. It also contains potassium, which plays an important role in the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance.

4. Summer salad with berries & Caesar dressing

Rezeptkarte der Foodpunk-App: Sommersalat mit Beeren und Caesar-Dressing, 20 Minuten

Crisp salad, fresh cucumber and sweet berries are combined with a creamy Caesar dressing of parmesan, yoghurt, mayonnaise, capers and spices. The fruity honeydew melon complements the salad and provides a special summer flavour.

Tip from nutritional science: Besides their fresh flavour, cucumbers also supply various micronutrients and phytochemicals. The skin in particular contains valuable components, so it is best to wash them well and enjoy them with the skin on where possible.

5. Spring cocktail with prawns

Rezeptkarte der Foodpunk-App: Frühlingscocktail mit Garnelen, 30 Minuten

This summery prawn salad combines crisp vegetables with a creamy almond and lime dressing and aromatic mint, which provides extra freshness. A balanced, protein-rich meal that is ideal for warm days.

Tip from nutritional science: The version with more carbohydrates contains quinoa. Alongside complex carbohydrates, quinoa also supplies plant protein and fibre. This combination can help the meal to keep you full for longer and to supply the body with energy evenly, which is ideal for active summer days.

Extra tip: Feel free to prepare the salad a little earlier and let it stand for a while. That way the flavours combine even better.

6. Quick summer plate (Vegetarian)

Rezeptkarte der Foodpunk-App: Schneller Sommer-Teller, vegetarisch, 30 Minuten

If you are looking for an uncomplicated summer dish, you have come to exactly the right place. Fried courgette meets sweet potato, egg, creamy mozzarella, fresh herbs and fruity melon. The combination of hearty and fresh ingredients provides summery pleasure and can also be prepared wonderfully as meal prep.

Tip from nutritional science: Melons consist largely of water and can therefore contribute to your fluid supply. They also contain beta-carotene, a phytochemical that the body can use as a precursor of vitamin A and that is important for the mucous membranes and eyesight, among other things.

7. Veggie kebab salad (Vegetarian)

Rezeptkarte der Foodpunk-App: Veggie Dönersalat, 30 Minuten

Intense seasoning, crisp pointed cabbage, fresh vegetables and creamy feta make this salad a summery alternative to the classic kebab. Chickpeas complement the dish with plant protein and fibre.

Tip from nutritional science: Tomatoes are at their peak in summer and supply lycopene, a natural plant substance from the group of carotenoids. This substance is responsible for the red colour of the tomato and acts as an antioxidant in the body. Lycopene can therefore help to protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals.

Particularly interesting: when tomatoes are heated and combined with a source of fat such as olive oil, the body can absorb the lycopene they contain better.

8. Stracciatella yoghurt (Vegan)

Rezeptkarte der Foodpunk-App: Stracciatella-Joghurt (paleo), 10 Minuten

A creamy, tempting combination of coconut yoghurt, papaya, vanilla and dark chocolate. The ingredients are finely pureed and topped with pieces of chocolate. A quick breakfast idea, also suitable as a snack or dessert.

Tip from nutritional science: With dark chocolate the following serves as a guide: the higher the cocoa content, the more cocoa it contains and therefore the more valuable components such as flavanols (phytochemicals).

From a cocoa content of about 70 % onwards, people generally speak of dark chocolate with a high cocoa content.
Versions with 85 to 90 % cocoa contain even more cocoa mass and considerably less sugar, which makes the flavour more intense and noticeably more bitter.

The advantage: the cocoa flavanols it contains act as antioxidants and can support vascular function. Dark chocolate also supplies minerals such as magnesium and iron. It is best enjoyed in small amounts, as it is still high in energy.

9. Foodpunk salmon open sandwiches

Rezeptkarte der Foodpunk-App: Foodpunk Lachs-Schnittchen, 50 Minuten

Light Foodpunk salmon open sandwiches with a juicy vegetable and egg base, creamy avocado and aromatic flaked hot-smoked salmon. Ideal when it needs to be quick, fresh and filling.

Tip from nutritional science: Salmon supplies valuable omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA), which can contribute to normal heart and brain function. In combination with avocado, which also contains healthy fats, the result is a particularly nutrient-rich dish with a high biological value.

10. Cauliflower falafel salad

Rezeptkarte der Foodpunk-App: Blumenkohl-Falafel mit Salat, 35 Minuten

Last but not least: crispy cauliflower falafel on a fresh salad with tomato, cucumber and a creamy tahini dressing. Filling and full of Mediterranean flavours, for when things need to be uncomplicated, healthy and still aromatic on warm days. That is what summer tastes like on your plate.

Tip from nutritional science: Cauliflower contains glucosinolates, plant substances that are converted into active breakdown products in the body. These can be involved in natural protective processes in the metabolism. Cauliflower also supplies plenty of fibre, which supports digestion and can provide a feeling of satiety that lasts longer.
