This is Josh’s current cut-version of Super Veggie: still vegetable-heavy, but rebuilt around quinoa, Greek yogurt sauce, and a more practical meal volume 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 6 eating days)
a. Main Dish Batch
- Quinoa (dry) — 360 grams
- Broccoli (head + stalk) — 1,500 grams
- Cauliflower — 900 grams
- Mushrooms — 300 grams
- Garlic — 18 grams
- Ginger Root (chopped finely) — 18 grams
b. Per-Meal Protein / Sauce Add-Ins
- Cooked chicken breast — 180 grams per meal
- Non-fat Greek yogurt — 200 grams per meal
- Strong Super Veggie dressing — 30 grams per meal
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
- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer.
- Add the quinoa to a pot with enough water to cook it normally.
- Bring to a boil.
- Lower to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 more minutes.
- Fluff with a fork and store.
- The 360 grams dry quinoa should yield about 1,080 grams cooked, or roughly 180 grams cooked per meal.
Serving
- Place about 180g cooked quinoa in a bowl.
- Add about 300-350g cooked vegetables.
- Add 180g cooked chicken breast.
- In a separate cup or directly in the bowl, mix 200g non-fat Greek yogurt with 30g strong Super Veggie dressing.
- Coat the chicken, quinoa, and vegetables with the yogurt 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 quinoa instead of lentils.
- The yogurt + dressing approach keeps the bowl much more satisfying without needing a huge amount of oil.
- On the current cut, the goal is high adherence and high protein, not proving toughness by making the bowl bigger than necessary.
