1. 1

   Prep everything first: wash and trim the courgette and cucumber, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

2. 2

   Rinse the quinoa and simmer in 2 parts water for 15 minutes until the tails appear, then fluff.

3. 3

   Warm the black beans in a pan with a splash of water and the seasoning, lightly crushing a few to thicken.

4. 4

   Simmer the balsamic vinegar with honey and garlic for 2-3 minutes until syrupy. Drizzle over the protein and veg.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the courgette and cucumber for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

6. 6

   Build the plate: quinoa first, then the veg and black bean, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.

7. 7

   Bulking upgrade: add the goat's cheese, walnuts for extra energy-dense calories.
