Creamy Roasted Garlic Sauce

I must confess…

I LOVE GARLIC!

Lucky for me, it is amazing for your health!

Garlic has so many healing properties, antiviral, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and it tastes so good. It is also great for cold, flus, chest infections, digestive disorders, and fungal infections because of its healing abilities.

Since it is currently winter, and everyone and their brother is getting sick, I made creamy roasted garlic sauce.

So simple

I roasted 6 heads of garlic and one shallot, until they were soft, about 30 minutes. Squeeze them into a blender with 1 cup of almond milk a pinch of salt and pepper and blend!
Just pop in the fridge for a few hours to thicken up, this makes enough to freeze for later too.

At my house we use this as a dip, to add in eggs, add to other sauces, the list is endless. I find this a great condiment to have on hand I go through it like crazy!!

Quinoa For Breakfast?

This week I have been focusing on adding more whole grains into my diet. Although porridge is usually not thought of as the most exciting breakfast, I promise you will change your mind!

Last night we had a vegetable stir fry with quinoa, I made extra of both. Today for breakfast I used the leftover quinoa with equal parts of almond milk to cooked quinoa, added dried fruits(goji berry and cranberry is what I used, but anything will work) , nuts and seeds (pecan, sunflower, and hemp hearts), cinnamon, and maple syrup. Then I brought it to a boil and then down to a simmer until the liquid was absorbed. Make sure to stir so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot. I topped this porridge with hemp hearts, and raw apple. I used a lot of cinnamon, because I enjoy the taste and it has a warming effect on the body.

 

Cool Lime Green Juice

Welcome to my new favourite juice in the morning. It has a cool sensation from the mint, and the ginger and lime give it a nice kick! This juice is packed with phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals to kick start your day, and help to rid your body of toxins.

What I Used:

2-3 bok choy leaves (detoxifier)

5-6 leaves of Chinese cabbage (detoxifier)

2 handfuls of spinach (alkalizing)

1 handful of mint (healing herb)

1″ piece of ginger (detoxifier)

1 lime, peeled

1 green apple (sweetener)

Hot Water With Lemon

I just recently completed a detox, one of my new favourite habits has to be hot water with lemon.

Every morning I have a mug, it completely energizes my day. The citric acid promotes enzyme function in the liver which helps to rid the body of toxins. Lemons are also very alkalizing inside our bodies, due to their mineral content. When our bodies become an acidic environment, we become prone to many different diseases. Eating more alkaline foods will lead to a more balanced environment

I noticed my mood was lifted and my thought process became more clear. I will definitely be making this a daily routine.
