Superveggie Schmeingstyle
Inspired by Bryan Johnson's Superveggie (thanks a lot!!!)
Ingredients (all organic)
- 400g red lentils
- 600g beluga lentils
- 1.5kg broccoli (fresh)
- 1.5kg cauliflower (frozen)
- 500g red onions
- 250g cumin
- 300-350ml apple cider vinegar


Steps (perfected by Larissa)
- Wash the lentils thoroughly.
- Add the red lentils with a bay leaf to 0.8L of boiling water (ratio 1:2) and let them simmer over medium heat for 8 minutes.
- Add the Beluga lentils with a bay leaf to 1.8L of boiling water (ratio 1:3) and let them simmer uncovered over medium heat for 28 minutes.
- Drain the cooked lentils well and let them cool. Make sure the red lentils are as "dry" as possible, as they can become mushy quickly. I use a rice sieve for this.
- Cut and thoroughly wash fresh broccoli.
- Steam the broccoli and frozen cauliflower briefly until they are tender-crisp. I use a steaming insert and steam them over the pot with the Beluga lentils (reduces cooking time to 26 minutes).
- Drain the broccoli and cauliflower, let them cool, and add them to a large pot with the lentils.
- Roughly chop the red onions and add them.
- Add apple cider vinegar and cumin, and mix everything well. I like to chop the mixture a bit finer.
- Let it completely cool and sit overnight to absorb flavors, then portion it.
The longevity classic, slightly adapted. My portion is approximately 850g (650kcal), Larissa's about 430g.
I serve it with a lot of EVOO (~15g), half an avocado, a lime with Ceylon cinnamon, hemp seeds (~12g), kimchi (~40g), psyllium husks (~3g), and spices: rosemary, turmeric, cumin, basil, oregano, thyme, maca powder, chili flakes and fresh parsley or cilantro.

Vegetable Stew a la Peppino
Ingredients (all organic)
(weights are approximates)
- 250g red onions
- 200g tomatoes
- 1000g pureed tomatoes
- 250g sweet potatoes
- 800g zucchini
- 150g carrot

Steps
- Wash vegetables.
- Place a pot on the stove over medium to high heat.
- Roughly chop the onions, carrots, champignons, and king oyster mushrooms, then add them to the pot and sauté shortly. (I don't use oil but add a little water after a short time.)
- Chop the tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, and sweet potatoes, then add them along with the puréed tomatoes.
- Add the frozen green beans, garlic and bay leaves and bring to a boil.
- Feel free to season to your taste. I usually add a lot of pepper, 2-3 sprigs of rosemary and 1-2 bird's eye chilies.
- Reduce to low heat and let it simmer for 1.5 - 2 hours (until the sweet potatoes are cooked through).
Super fast to make but delicious and healthy. Thanks to Peppino (my father in law) for the original recipe.
It has a long shelf life as it's vegan. I always make a very large portion and consume it over 4-5 days, mostly as part of dinner.
When serving, I like to add some protein like tempeh, tofu or eggs, some avocado and/or cottage cheese and top it with a lot of parsley or cilantro.

Fruity Protein Ice Cream
Super fast cheating with a good conscience. Idea from Siim Land.
Ingredients (all organic)
- Handful frozen blueberries
- 30g Orgainic Whey Protein Natural
- 8g collagen peptides
- 50ml water
Steps
- Put all ingredients into a bowl.

I like to sprinkle some quinoa, cacao nibs or oats on top.
You can be creative — add frozen strawberries, mango, or some nuts ;)
Sourdough Super Seed Crackers
Fast, healthy, higher caloric snack. Adapted from martaullman.com.
Ingredients (all organic)
- 100g sourdough starter (I use spelt or rye)
- 190g water
- 100g sunflower seeds
- 70g sesame seeds
- 30g pumpkin seeds
- 25g ground flaxseeds
- 10g psyllium husks
- 10g chia seeds
- 10g puffed quinoa (optional)
- 20g cacao nibs (optional)
- 4g salt
Steps
- Mix the dry ingredients.
- Add the liquids (if the sourdough is too firm, mix with some water).
- Cover and let sit for 20 minutes to swell.
- Spread onto baking paper as thin as you like. (I like it very thin, ~2mm, so they become very crispy.)
- Cut the dough so that you have nicely formed crackers later (optional).
- Bake at 150°C (fan) for about 1 hour (keep an eye on it!).
Perfect for snacking on some healthy calories while on the go.
You can be creative and add additional seeds, nuts or other stuff — let me know how it turns out :)
Runner's Delight
Discovered by accident.
Ingredients (all organic)
- 150g fine oat flakes
- 50g coarse oat flakes (opt)
- 20g honey (forest, local)
- 400ml water
- Ceylon cinnamon
- 2 espresso shots (or coffee)
Steps
- Make an oatmeal/porridge with the oats, water and Ceylon cinnamon.
- Put on low heat for at least 15 mins to make the oats really soft and mushy.
- Add the honey and mix.
- Add the espresso and mix (I add it in the container from which I eat later).
Tastes a lot better than it looks :D Gives high quality carbs before a (long) run and pushes you with the extra dose of caffeine.
Sourdough Protein Pancakes
Yummy way to use your sourdough leftovers.
Ingredients (all organic)
- 130g sourdough starter (I use rye)
- 200g whole grain rye flour
- 100ml milk
- 160ml water (160 more milk also possible)
- 50g Orgainic Whey Protein Vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- 3-4g ghee
- 5g glycine (optional)
Steps
- Put all ingredients into a bowl.
- Mix and let sit for 2-4 hours.
- Pre-heat cooking pan (ideally stainless steel).
- Add a little ghee, spread it in the pan (e.g. with a paper towel) and add spoonfuls of the dough.
- Fry until done.
I reduced the milk in the original recipe and replaced it with water, added whey protein.
We usually make a lot as you can easily freeze and defrost them later... if Larissa leaves some :D
