Nutritional values

Spinach is a real miracle of vital substances. The vitamins A, B1, B2 and C it contains ensure good eyesight, strengthen nerves and the immune system. The green leafy vegetable provides a lot of folic acid, calcium and magnesium. Quinoa scores among other things with the trace element iron, which is needed for blood formation and oxygen transport in the body.

If you like, you can also use fresh chili peppers instead of those from the jar. For a vegan version, simply replace the yogurt with a soy, almond or coconut-based vegetable alternative.
