Simple Organic Recipes: Easy Quinoa Recipe with Fresh Organic Vegetables

Ingredients (organic when available):

• 1 cup of organic quinoa (all quinoa is low-gluten quinoa)

• 1 small jalepeno pepper (organic if available)
• 1 single slice of onion (red onion preferred)
• 1/2 garlic clove
• 1/2 avocado
  
• 1 slice of lime
• 2-3 leaves Romaine lettuce

3. Mix garlic, jalepeno, and onion together

Easy Quinoa Recipe Procedure:

2. After dry roast quinoa, add 2-3 cups of water.
3. Boil until water level is low, stirring occasionally
4. Add more water and jalepeno-garlic-onion mix. Cover
5. Simmer 10-15 minutes or until quinoa soft
6. When quinoa is soft, add a little more water and add salt, pepper, and 1-2 teaspoons olive oil. Add basil if desired.
7. Simmer until quinoa soft and mixed with vegetables. Quinoa will take on vegetable, salt, and olive oil taste.

Fresh Vegetable & Serving Procedure

1. Dice tomato and put on plate cold and fresh
2. Smash avacado adding sea salt and pepper. Place on plate as shown picture
3. Place fresh lime slice on plate
4. Cut or tear romaine lettuce and add to place, or put full leaves on separate plate
5. Add quinoa to plate
   
6. Compliment with any desired fresh fruit (grapes, raspberries, and cut up fresh jalepeno peppers shown in photo)

Eating

Squeeze lime over quinoa as desired. Quinoa, avocado, and tomato may be wrapped up in romaine lettuce and eaten like a burrito, or else cut up pieces of lettuce on top will be easier to eat with a spoon or fork.

This recipe serves two.

Reader's Write: Juice and Bentonite Detox Program

Here is a story submitted to us by a friend of mine. He's a vegetarian, so perhaps this fast was easier for him. This is very inspirational and I invite you to read over it

* * *

A few years ago, when I was visiting Australia, I did a juice fast. The program was based on the writings of Dr. Richard Anderson. You needed to buy the things in the Arise & Shine DeLuxe Cleanse 28 Program.

Here's how it goes:
Week One: Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner and only eat fruits and vegetables. Drink juice-shakes twice a day plus with cleansing herbs and bentonite clay.
Week Two: Meals reduced to lunch and dinner and one juice-shake.
Week Three: Now only lunch and the juice-shake.
Week Four: Only juice shakes and enemas that extract a grayish poop that is nothing but clay, fruit & vegetable fibers and waste from your intention tract and bowels.

There is no non-fruit or vegetable product (herbs are OK), a few types of grain and legume, no artificial sweeteners, of course no chemicals other than what's on the produce, and of course no alcohol, meat, dairy, fish, eggs.

As a mostly vegetarian (no meat, but fish & dairy are OK), adjusting to this type of diet was not so hard for me as it would be for some other people, but it pushed me. I spent long long days playing video games took the focus off my hunger. I was usually in bed by 11 p.m. and woke up wide awake and full of energy.

After a couple of weeks, once I got used to the hunger, I was very energetic. I was doing kung fu, going to the gym (not recommended), and lost no muscle or strength despite losing 10 lbs. The natural protein found in fruits and vegetables sustained me just fine.

It's also possible during these fasts to see body pains disappear, experience deep emotions or clarity, and retrieve gum that you swallowed many years ago.

By the 4th week, I was ready to give in. Food tasted strong and artificial. Before long I was back to living and eating normally.

It was a life-changing experience. I'm thinking of doing it again. It requires A LOT of fruit and vegetables, a planned schedule, and a good juicer.

High Price Range ($100-200)

We'll be showing you a few juicer reviews for the high price range. Many of the juicers in the $50-100 price range, though, may be just a good. Have a look here for those juice extractor reviews: juicer review Mid Range $50-100.

Jack Lalanne Juicer review ($100 on Amazon.com). This is a very, if not the most popular juicer. Many feel it's the best juicer. Indeed it's juicer blade is very large for it's size and most notably, the large mouth of the food pusher doesn't go directly to the middle of the blades, but offset from the center. How does this help? The blades are spinning faster at that part of the cutter. Small juicers are like this, actually, with their cresent-shaped food pusher (see review juicer Low-Range here).

Juice Extractor review Jack Lalanne Pro Juicer ($150 at Target.com). This juicer is the same as the one mentioned in the Jack Lalanne review above, however, it has a stainless steel finish and looks nicer. If you shop around you can find this Jack Lalanne juicer cheap at around $120. That said, the original Jack Lalanne can be found for $80.


Black & Decker JM503 Juiceman Juice Extractor review ($180 on Amazon). Let's look at the stat's for this one

• 1,000 watts (wow!) 3-speed push-button controls
• LCD display screen (nice!)
• blue backlight (pretty!)
  
• stainless steel body and juice bowl (great!)
  
• Heavy-duty die cast handles (rare!)
  
• cord storage wrap (convenient!)
  
• Stainless steel mesh, titanium-coated blades, and see-thru lid (could it get any better?)

And plus it's by Black & Decker, a reputable company. This is one of the best of this type of juicer.

West Bend Performance Series Juice Extractor review ($120 at Target). I'm not going to go into this deeply, as you can see it's very similar to the Jack Lalanne juicer. Lalanne is a trusted brand. I'm a bit skeptical about West Bend. I'd stick to Jack Lalannne over this one.


Breville JE95XL Two-Speed Juice Fountain Plus ($140 on Amazon). This is very smartly designed juicer. This is the newer version and it has two speeds: one for soft fruits and fast for harder foods. It's easy to clean, powerful, and gets a lot of juice. The only negatives about this juicer is that I haven't used one long enough to know how it holds up under pressure. 1 year warranty, so that should be okay!


Lexen Electric Healthy Juice Extractor Review ($180 on Amazon). This juicer review, folks, shouldn't be here. It should be in the Professional Range of over $200. This is a masticating juicer which smashes the juice out of fruits and vegetables rather than grinding it like in our other juicers. This is the cheapest of this type juicer so I couldn't recommend it due to likely poor quality control, but I can say that a masticating juicer is the way to go if you're looking to juice daily for long periods of time. I'd spend over $200 for a more popular juicer though.


Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor review ($182 on Amazon). This is another good review juicer from Breville. Note the review above, and note that this one is a tad more powerful, has variable speeds, and looks better because it's stainless. If you can afford it I'd say this is good choice.


L’Equip Mini XL Pulp Ejection Juicer ($140 on Amazon). No one I ask knows anything about this product, so in my case I'd never get it. I'm just throwing it out there to show you what's available.


And that's about it. We won't be doing a review of the $300-500 range unless there is a demand for it. If we get enough comments we'll write one!
