SI Swimsuit Rookie Kim Riekenberg’s Go-To Meals

Kim Riekenberg lives life on the go. Bouncing between the U.S. and Germany (where she is originally from) from one photo shoot to the next (pre COVID-19), she still manages to stay on top of her health and prioritize quality food. We asked her to share some of her typical and favorite meals:

My everyday go-to breakfast:

• Avocado toast with cayenne pepper
• Oatmeal with blueberries or banana
• Soy yogurt bowl with fruits
• Toppings: chia seeds, flax seeds, bee pollen

• My “cheat” breakfasts when I’m craving something sweet are Nutella or jam on toast, or a chocolate cereal
• I have a fresh pressed juice every day

My typical lunch:

I love cooking and creating new meals.

• Avocado toast if I haven’t had it for breakfast!
• Every day I crave a big matcha chai latte
• Quick pasta with tomato sauce
• Every kind of smoothie

When I’m in New York I always have cauliflower gnocchi.

My favorite meals for dinner:

I always prefer a hot meal instead of a cold one. One hot meal a day is a must.

• Pasta with cherry tomatoes and green asparagus in a white wine lemon sauce
• Homemade hummus with pita and Moroccan couscous salad with a side of oven-baked veggies
• Oven-baked veggies with homemade date dip with a mixed salad on the side. I’d probably add some guacamole and some baguette on top
