    1. Asparagus pan with halloumi<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”81175″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The hearty asparagus pan combines tender white asparagus with savoury halloumi and fried sweet potato. Fried golden brown in ghee and refined with balsamic vinegar and fresh herbs, it makes an aromatic, filling dish, perfect for a balanced lunch or dinner in spring[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_bg_color=”bg–color–bg-blue”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Fact from nutritional medicine: <\/b>Compared with white asparagus, green asparagus is particularly rich in nutrients. It supplies plenty of fibre, contains a good amount of potassium and plant compounds and can therefore support a balanced diet. A true spring classic.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Fun fact:<\/b> Asparagus contains sulphur-containing compounds that are broken down in the body into small, volatile molecules and excreted with the urine. These are responsible for the typical, intense smell. Whether it is noticed, however, depends on the genetically varying ability to form it or to perceive the smell.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

    2. Quick iced coffee<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”81196″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]This breakfast idea is an absolute favourite! It combines a creamy coffee drink with almond milk, MCT oil and collagen plus fresh strawberries, a filling, energy-rich combination with a fruity, tart contrast.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_bg_color=”bg–color–bg-blue”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tip from nutritional medicine: <\/b>MCT oil supplies rapidly available fatty acids that the body can take up quickly and use directly to generate energy. That makes the oil especially popular in low-carb or ketogenic ways of eating. It can also contribute to a long-lasting feeling of satiety and refines your coffee with a pleasant creaminess.<\/span><\/p>\n

    A bite of knowledge: <\/b>It is best to drink coffee in the morning or around midday, ideally not straight after getting up but about 1 to 2 hours later. That way it fits better into your natural cortisol rhythm and is often experienced as easier to tolerate. In the late afternoon or in the evening you should rather avoid it, so as not to affect your sleep. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

    3. Sweet strawberry omelette<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”81202″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The sweet strawberry omelette brings together fresh strawberries, mint and lemon juice, a fruity yet hearty variation that fills you up pleasantly and fits perfectly into an energy-rich start to the day.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_bg_color=”bg–color–bg-blue”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tip from nutritional medicine:<\/b> Strawberries contain about 60 mg of vitamin C per 100 g and are therefore among the most vitamin-rich local fruits in spring. As little as about 150 g covers a large part of the daily vitamin C requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Combination tip:<\/b> Vitamin C improves the absorption of iron from plant foods.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

    4. Fine cucumber salad with walnuts & goat's gouda<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”81215″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Romaine lettuce combined with cucumber, goat’s gouda and a fruity, savoury dressing with apple cider vinegar and dill, rounded off with raspberries for extra freshness.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_bg_color=”bg–color–bg-blue”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tip from nutritional medicine:<\/b> Cucumber consists mainly of water and is therefore very low in calories. It supports fluid intake and also supplies potassium as well as plant compounds, which round off the nutrient-rich overall profile of the dish and keep it light.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

    5. Mascarpone and rhubarb trifle<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”81213″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]This creamy bowl combines fruity rhubarb and strawberry pur\u00e9e with an airy mascarpone and whey cream and makes for a sweet, protein-rich breakfast.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_bg_color=”bg–color–bg-blue”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tip from nutritional medicine:<\/b> Rhubarb supplies above all fibre and minerals such as potassium. Its high content of fruit acids creates the typical sour taste, which makes it particularly well suited to light breakfast and snack recipes.<\/span><\/p>\n


    \n<\/span>Fun fact:<\/b> Botanically rhubarb belongs to the vegetables, but it is mostly used like fruit.<\/span><\/p>\n

    6. Wild herb bake with parmesan<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”81198″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]A hearty oven dish that brings together eggs, nettle and vegetables into a filling, protein-rich meal with a savoury aroma and a fine texture.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_bg_color=”bg–color–bg-blue”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tip from nutritional medicine:<\/b> Nettle is a very nutrient-rich wild herb with a high content of iron, magnesium, calcium and vitamin C. It can therefore support the mineral balance and, thanks to its high micronutrient density, makes a particularly valuable, natural addition to the diet.<\/p>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

    7. Wild garlic and asparagus risotto<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”81214″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Wild garlic and asparagus risotto with creamy cauliflower rice, tender asparagus, nutty almond butter and savoury parmesan, refined with fresh wild garlic and lemon zest for light, aromatic spring cooking.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_bg_color=”bg–color–bg-blue”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tip from nutritional medicine: <\/b>Wild garlic brings an intense, garlic-like aroma into the dish and contains natural sulphur-containing plant compounds. These are typical of the allium family and make it an exciting ingredient with which dishes can be intensified in flavour, often even with less added salt. Use it fresh (do not heat it strongly), so that the valuable components are preserved.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

    8. Carrot cake with a cream cheese topping<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”81206″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]This moist carrot cake combines nutty aromas with a creamy cream cheese and lemon note and, thanks to whey and eggs, becomes a real protein bomb that fills you up.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_bg_color=”bg–color–bg-blue”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tip from nutritional physiology: <\/b>Carrots supply valuable carotenoids, which are converted in the body into vitamin A precursors and play an important role for the skin, the mucous membranes and eyesight. In combination with a little fat from nuts or cream, these fat-soluble plant compounds can be absorbed particularly well.<\/span><\/p>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

    9. Snack vegetables with Obazda<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”81208″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]As a hearty cold snack platter, the classic Obazda works wonderfully: creamy, savoury cheese combined with crisp radishes and fresh kohlrabi. Uncomplicated, aromatic and perfect for springtime.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_bg_color=”bg–color–bg-blue” row_boxpadding=”vc_boxpadding”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tip from nutritional medicine: <\/b>Radishes contain natural mustard oils (glucosinolates), which are responsible for their mild sharpness and shape their typical aroma. In this way they bring freshness and savour to the snack platter without needing any additional ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Tip:<\/b> The radish leaves are edible and rich in nutrients too, for example in pesto.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

    10. Deconstructed burger salad<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”81210″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Last but not least: our hearty salad with minced beef, fresh vegetables, cheddar and a creamy dressing brings strong flavours together with fresh lightness. It tastes like a burger and also works wonderfully as a dish to take with you, whether to a party or to the office for lunch.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_bg_color=”bg–color–bg-blue” row_boxpadding=”vc_boxpadding”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tip from nutritional medicine: <\/b>Romaine lettuce is in season from spring to autumn and ready to harvest. Romaine lettuce is particularly rich in water and at the same time supplies folic acid as well as vitamin K. Thanks to its firm leaf structure it is very well suited as a filling base in salads, since it can also be combined with strong dressings and warm ingredients without collapsing quickly. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Additional tip: <\/b>Thanks to its acidity, apple cider vinegar in combination with protein-rich and fat-rich meals can help to flatten the rise in blood sugar after eating a little and in this way provide more even energy availability. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Enjoy trying out the seasonal recipes for May!
