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.

KL's MEXICAN POST-WORKOUT SMOOTHIE

I went "south of the border" with this recipe and it's still packed with nutrition that the body can quickly absorb in a smoothie!

Most of the ingredients are native to Mexico, and the minerals are also native to the body in regards to balancing pH inside your body!

Protein, Calcium, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Potassium, Iron, Manganese, Phosphorus and more!

Here's what I used...

Ingredients:
Organic Black Kale Lacinato
Jicama
Fresh 100% Florida Orange Juice
Organic Cayenne Pepper
Ground Cinnamon
Organic Raw Blue Agave Nectar

Raw Almonds are my favorite snack food---and I've made some FAST & EASY healthy all-natural recipes along my journey to perfect health that smashes my desire for something "sweet" and/or something "salty" with a little spice kick every single time... that is GOOD and GOOD FOR THE BODY all at the same time!


PREP TIME: 3 MIN
COOK TIME: 0 MIN

INGREDIENTS:

RAW ALMONDS
CAYENNE PEPPER
100% SEA SALT
GROUND CINNAMON
RAW SESAME SEEDS (OPTIONAL)
ORGANIC RAW BLUE AGAVE NECTAR


PREP:

In a bowl, pour the desired amount of raw almonds into it and add small amounts of agave nectar while stirring until the almonds are evenly covered.

Add a dash of the cayenne pepper on top---a little bit goes a long way. Then sprinkle sea salt (until desired). Add a dash of the ground cinnamon, then top with the raw sesame seeds (optional), or try it without the sesame seeds!




VROOOOOOOOOOM---I'm GONE---ENJOY!!
