Tasty Drink! (Only 3 Ingredients!)

Here is a simple drink recipe I changed a little bit from @amazon_ashley on Instagram so it was Candida Clear friendly.   

1 bottle Pellegrino Water (I had 750ml)
1 to 1.5 cups raspberries (Her recipe called for 2 whole peaches.)
Juice of 1 lemon
1 Cup of ice (which I didn't do... I don't like ice in my drinks.  It is just a personal preference.)

Blend all together and there you go.  It tastes great!  You could even add xylitol (or honey for those not working on candida) to sweeten it up.  I don't think it really needed it but it always an option.  The only thing I would change is using the juice of 1/2 lemon instead of a full one.  It was just a little tart but still GREAT!

For those on Candida Clear- Try with blueberries, raspberries, blackberries too! 
For everyone else- Try with peaches or mango.  I bet that is delicious!

P.S  I used a hand blender that has come in SO handy.  It is from Costco ($20 I think) and I use it all the time.  It is great because you don't have to dirty a lot of things, it is simple to use and works great.  I use it to blend my smoothies each morning and it works perfectly.   

Enjoy!

A Not So Traditional Dinner

One of the things I have learned is that when eating healthy sometimes your 'typical' or 'traditional' meals are not so typical anymore.  For example my dinner...  First off- I wasn't in a mood to be creative and secondly I didn't have a lot in my fridge.  Time for a grocery run!  I had to come up with a quick creative idea and this is what I did.  3 eggs and asparagus! Not a traditional dinner at all.

You get your veggies in (cooked quickly on a skillet with coconut oil), as well as protein with the eggs (cooked in coconut oil on a skillet too) and a healthy fat (coconut oil)! Season with a little sea salt or garlic and you are good to go!

I understand this isn't an amazing recipe however I just wanted to shine light on thinking outside the box.  If you want a light dinner here you go!  If you want a good breakfast... here you go too!  Its always a good idea to get a healthy fat and protein in at each meal.  It keeps your metabolism going and keeps you full so you don't have any blood sugar crashes (aka getting shaky or so tired that you have to eat to get your energy back up).  Enjoy!

Quinoa Burgers

I can not take credit for this... a patient sent me a link asking if these were okay on Candida Clear.  Of course I am always skeptical but this really does pass the test!  In the grocery store I usually skip over the frozen food isle beside veggies and fruit because each time I read ingredients they are no good... so I couldn't believe it!

They are called Qrunch Quinoa Burgers.  I found mine at Kroger (in the healthy frozen section) and she said they are also at Target.  They have a regular and a spicy Italian (which I didn't find to spicy).  You just throw them on a skillet with coconut oil (of course) for 2 to 3 minutes on each side and you have a meal!  Tonight we made the veggie 'pasta' with Costco Marinara, the Qrunch Burger and some fresh basil!  Yummmmmm!   Enjoy!  I have also attached the ingredient list... apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, and everything else is organic!

(Garrett said he lost a little bit of his manhood by eating veggie pasta and having these 'burgers.' :) He likes them though!  Don't let him fool you.)

 

 

They all look great!
