Thought I'd do a quick roundup to capture some of updates & yummy creations that have come out of my kitch this week!
Firstly, I have a new vid up explaining a little more about my upcoming (and ongoing) workshop EAT CLEAN :: GET LEAN....hoping it will inspire you into a little healthy activity today!
On Facebook this week, I put up a few pictures of recipes/ideas so here they are if you're interested in trying them:

Recipe #2 rocks just as much because it's also a big time saver in the morning. Gotta love all the work being done for you while you sleep:

| Recipe: Overnight Crockpot Quinoa & Buckwheat Porridge |
I also mentioned on FB that I pre-make a couple salads at a time each week so they're ready for quick lunches. Here are my tips for doing this:
- Soak all of your produce in a baking soda/vinegar bath or spray with produce wash. Rinse well & then spin your greens out like craaaazy.
- Hand tear your greens and they won't brown as easy
- Set in glass container with a paper towel on top to absorb excess moisture.
- Stick to tougher toppings like: celery, carrots, broccoli, peppers and chop up tomatoes, onions etc the day you're eating the salad
Make it a great one!

Great tips - I do the salad idea too, and I wish I could come to your Eat Clean:Get Lean workshop. Good news Ange, I am leaning up more now in pregnancy that what I was pre pregnancy, baby is growing healthily, and I am feeling great. Just needed a kickstart. Thanks for continuing to inspire!

Hey Robin ~ so so happy to hear you're feeling & looking so great this pregnancy!!! I love seeing your pics on Instagram - you are glowing!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ange
ReplyDeleteHow long do you soak the produce in baking soda&vinegar?
Thanks
10 min is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThese are yummy looking recipes. For the pancakes are the quinoa and brown rice cooked or raw at the start? Might seem like an odd question but I can't imagine my blender would get brown rice smooth in 20 seconds!
ReplyDeleteOkay, the pancake recipe does rock! My kids love it! It is such a triumphant feeling feeding my children healthy food that they enjoy. Thanks for the recipe. I am curious, what are your go-to meals for Chloe for lunch?
ReplyDeleteI really want to try to the quinoa and brown rice recipe -- do you need to precook the quinoa and rice or just soak them raw? Thanks for clarifying!
ReplyDeleteHey Ally,
ReplyDeleteNo need to soak! By adding in the apple cider vinegar to the soaking water -it helps break down the phytic acid in the the quinoa so it's predigested. Just blend & go!
So glad you love them sweets! Go to meals for Chloe: Breakfast would be these pancakes, toast with coco oil, hemp seeds & nutritional yeast or a smoothie or greek yogurt with fruit & homemade granola, sometimes organic waffles. Lunch is usually a mixed tray of 1/2 sandwich (nut butter & banana), with some fruit, avocado chunks & carrots. I try to put all the food groups on a tray and arrange them in a fun way!
ReplyDeleteYou keep them raw! The ACV helps digest the phytic acid in the grains so they digest without having to cook!
ReplyDeleteAbout 10 min
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ange! So, just to clarify: cook the quinoa and rice as usual and then blend and go?
ReplyDeleteNo need to cook the quinoa & rice first - just soak it raw and then blend it in the morning!
ReplyDeleteHi! Do you rinse the rice and quinoa in the morning?
