This bowl is the classic training-day meal. It brings plenty of protein, complex carbs and fats from sesame.
Swaps
Turkey breast → tofu (with crispy plain tofu, you can easily turn the bowl into a vegan meal).
Cooking tips
If the tahini dressing gets too thick as you stir it, simply add lukewarm water a spoonful at a time until it's creamy and pourable.
