I get this question pretty much on daily basis:
Where do you get the time to prepare all the meals for you and Joe?
…and the answer is…
I don’t!
We are super busy, and when it comes to food preparation I’m all about efficiency.
That’s why I’ve become a master of quick, healthy, plant based meals that anyone can make in no time.
Today I want to share three of my favorite recipes with you. Joe and I make these on a regular basis. The best part is that all these recipes are quick, easy and use zero animal products!
Give them a try today, I am sure you’ll LOVE them.
1.Easy Hummus
Why buy hummus (in most cases packed with preservatives) when you can just make it at home!
- 1 can chick peas ( drain and washed)
- 1/3 cup Tahini (ground sesame seeds)
- Juice of 1-2 lemons
- 2 TB Olive oil
- water as needed
- Salt to taste
Just food process it up and you have hummus.
Our favorite add-ins (mix or match)
2 cloves garlic
2 TB parsley
2 TB Basil
2 ts paprika
Sun-dried tomatoes
We take this to work as a healthy and delicious dip for carrots, peppers or apples . Also great with pita or in sandwiches.
2. Mexican Quinoa and Lentil Powerhouse
This one is super easy:
- 1 cup lentils
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 can black beans
- 1 hot pepper
- 2 cups diced green peppers
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 5 cups water
Bring it all to a boil- cover and simmer until water is absorbed. Voila! Awesome protein rich meal 😉
As always, make sure to rinse your quinoa and caned beans before cooking.
3. Muscle Building Shake
- 16oz almond milk
- 4 scoops of Vega Health Optimizer- Chocolate
- 1 cup organic mixed frozen berries
- 2 cups frozen spinach (sounds gross but you can’t taste it)
- 1 banana
- 1 cup raw oats
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cacao nibs
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Add more water if thinner consistency is desired.
Makes 2 servings
We usually start every day with this or similar Power smoothie.
So there you go. All three recipes take less then 15 min to prepare.
