Steps
- 01Blend 1 cup cooked quinoa with 1 cup steamed zucchini chunks.
- 02Add a small handful of steamed kale, stems removed, and blend smooth.
- 03The zucchini's water usually loosens it enough; add a splash more if not.
- 04Freeze in an ice-cube tray; pop cubes into a labeled freezer bag.
- 05Reheat 1–2 cubes to steaming, stir, and cool to body temperature.
Why it works
Quinoa is a rare grain with meaningful iron and complete protein, and kale's vitamin C helps that iron land — mild zucchini stretches it into a week of green dinners.
Storage
Freezer cubes keep 2 months; thawed cubes keep 24 hours in the fridge — never refreeze.
