KL's ORGANIC QUINOA SMOOTHIE

This is the first time I've tried this smoothie but just like all of the others, it's the BOMB!!

Using leftover cooked quinoa from the other night, I decided to use quinoa as the main ingredient to blend into a deliciously healthy, creamy-like smoothie! 

Prep time: 0 min

Cook time: 0 min

Serves: 1-2

Ingredients:

Organic Quinoa (1 cup cooked)

Organic Banana (1 peeled)

Organic Raw Walnut (1/2 cup)

Organic Raw Blue Agave Syrup (2 tablespoon)

Spring Water (1 1/3 cup)

Ground Cinnamon (.5 tablespoon)

Spring Water Ice cubes (optional)

I usually measure by "eyeballing" it so you can add more/less of the above ingredients to your liking/taste.

Prep:

Add the following ingredients to your blender and blend on highest setting for 2 minutes until smooth.

<How to cook Quinoa>

Quinoa cooks up best using the 1:2 ratio ( 1 cup quinoa:2 cups water).

Add quinoa and water to a medium pot and simmer for 15-20 minutes until light and fluffy.

Should be moist to the touch when complete.

Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Prep: 20 minutes

Cook: 1 hour

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Spelt Berries

In another pot, bring 2 cups of water and the wild rice to a boil. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer the rice for 45-60 minutes (the rice will have split open and be fluffy). Drain any excess water and set aside.

Now make the sauce. In a small bowl mix together the maple syrup, lime juice, cayenne pepper, thyme, and sea salt.

In a large serving bowl (with a lid) add the spelt berries, chopped mushrooms and wild rice. Pour the sauce over and mix well. Cover and let sit for at least 20 minutes so the flavor can soak in then serve!
