This is Josh’s current cut-version of Super Veggie: still vegetable-heavy, but rebuilt around a quinoa/red-lentil base, sardines, micro-liver, chicken, and a practical Greek-yogurt sauce for an aggressive 2-fast-day cut.
The original Bryan Johnson version is still the inspiration. This page is the current personal-use version that matches the active plan.
1. Ingredients (for 5 eating days) a. Main Dish Batch Quinoa (dry) — 225 grams Green lentils (dry) — ~100 grams (target: ~250g cooked) Broccoli (head + stalk) — 900 grams Cauliflower — 550 grams Mushrooms — 300 grams Garlic — 15 grams Ginger Root (chopped finely) — 15 grams b. Per-Meal Protein / Sauce Add-Ins Sardines — 1 small tin per meal (targeting ~85g drained) Cooked beef liver — 10 grams per meal Cooked chicken breast — 80 grams per meal Non-fat Greek yogurt — 150 grams per meal Lemon, mustard, salsa, garlic, and iodized salt — to taste 2. Instructions Veggies Wash the vegetables. Weigh the vegetables. Place broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, ginger, and garlic in boiling water. Boil until tender, about 7-9 minutes. Drain well and store. Quinoa + lentils Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer. Cook the quinoa normally: bring to a boil, cover, simmer about 15 minutes, then rest covered 10 minutes and fluff. Cook the green lentils separately at a gentle simmer until tender but not mushy (usually about 20-25 minutes); drain well if needed. The 225g dry quinoa should yield about 675g cooked. Portion with ~250g cooked green lentils as five 135g-quinoa/50g-lentil bases. If digestion is uncertain, use 30g cooked lentils for the first five eating days and hold the remainder. Serving Place about 135g cooked quinoa + 50g cooked lentils in a bowl. Add about 300-350g cooked vegetables. Add 80g cooked chicken breast and one drained small tin of sardines. In a separate cup, blend 10g cooked beef liver into 150g non-fat Greek yogurt with lemon, mustard, salsa, garlic, and iodized salt. Coat the chicken, sardines, grains, lentils, and vegetables with the cold yogurt-liver sauce. If the bowl feels too large, split off some of the vegetables and eat them later instead of forcing the full volume in one sitting. 3. Notes This version uses a green-lentil microdose: 50g cooked daily is enough to make lentils routine without turning the meal into a giant legume bowl. Begin at 30g cooked if digestion is uncertain, then move to 50g only if it feels easy. The yogurt-liver sauce keeps the bowl satisfying without a high-oil dressing; 10g liver should disappear into the sauce rather than taste like a separate serving. On the current cut, the goal is high adherence and high protein, not proving toughness by making the bowl bigger than necessary.
