Kale Tofu Omelet

This is one of my workout meals. I cooked this after last Thursday's workout. Because I had kale I wanted to cook something out of it. Omelet is always fast to make. So I made the omelet and ate it with marinated cottage cheese. For protein I had eggs, tofu and cottage cheese and for vegetables kale, tomatoes and peas.

I love the amount of light we have during the summer. You can easily get good iPhone photos even in the evening.

Kale Tofu Omelet (serves 1-2)

  • one big leaf of kale or few smaller ones
  • 100 g marinated tofu
  • 3 organic eggs
  • 3 tbs milk (or water)
  • 3 ts virgin coconut oil
  • black pepper
  • sea salt

Slice the tofu and tear the kale leaf(s). Break the eggs into a small bowl and add the milk (or water), beat with a fork. Put the coconut oil onto a hot frying pan. Fry the tofu and the kale until the tofu gets some color. Remove from the pan. Reduce the heat until medium hot. Add the egg mass. Start to pull the mass from the sides into the center of the pan, but keep it evenly spread. Do not over cook. When the mass is still liquid add the kale and the tofu on top of the omelet. Spice with black pepper and sea salt.

For side dish I filled a small bowl with cottage cheese, tomatoes and peas and mixed them with a marinade of olive oil, vinegar, sea salt and black pepper.

This is a big protein bomb. Highly recommended for vegetarians. Though it was so big that I left half of it for the next morning.

Workout + Quick Meal

I have not really been exercising lately. My friend Maria told me earlier this summer about Helsinki Core Trainers where she trains in the Bootcamp group. So today I finally joined her for the first time. The work out was HARD but really effective. I will go again later this week!

Earlier last year when I was training with a personal trainer I learned that after the work out you are supposed to eat quickly (like within 30 minutes). So when I came home I started to cook something simple and fast.

This is what I ended up eating. For protein I had some shrimp and cottage cheese. For veggies I choose salad, cucumber and marinated tomatoes and spring onions mixed with the shrimp. I also boiled some buckwheat on the side.

Recipe for the marinade

  • olive oil
  • vinegar
  • a pinch of sea salt
  • a pinch of brown sugar
  • black pepper

Mix all together with the ingredients you want to marinate. Enjoy your meal!

You can easily vary this recipe and choose different kind of vinegars. This time I used apple vinegar spiced with raspberry and peach.

Luckily I had my bicycle to get home. I would have been too tired to walk after the workout.
