Easy Quinoa Breakfast Recipes

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

There are plenty of easy quinoa breakfast recipes that you can find online but I'll only share 3 of my favorites. Quinoa is so versatile that you can practically add anything to it without overpowering the other ingredients.

Easy Quinoa Breakfast Recipes

One of my favorite breakfast recipes is the nutty cinnamon quinoa recipe. You will need a cup of low fat milk or skim milk, a cup of water, a cup of quinoa (well-rinsed), 2 cups fresh blueberries or strawberries, ½ teaspoon finely ground cinnamon, 1/3 cup chopped pecans (or any nut that you prefer) and 4 teaspoons organic nectar.

This is so easy to make, all you have to do is boil the milk, water and quinoa in a saucepan over high heat and then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until most the liquid is absorbed. Turn off the heat and set it aside for 5 minutes while covered. Mix in cinnamon and blueberries and top with the chopped nuts. Drizzle with nectar and serve.

Another easy quinoa breakfast recipe that I like is the hot quinoa breakfast cereal. You will only need a cup of cooked quinoa, thinly sliced apples, seedless raisins, dash of cinnamon, milk and honey. Mix all the dry ingredients together and serve with milk. You can add honey or low-calorie sugar to taste.

The last easy quinoa breakfast recipe that I found is the peanut butter quinoa recipe. For the ingredients, you need a cup of quinoa, 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter, 2 cinnamon sticks, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 cup of milk, roasted pecans, raisins or dried cranberries and any fruits of your choice (bananas, strawberries, peaches).

Boil the quinoa with milk, sugar, cinnamon sticks and peanut butter. Reduce the heat to low until the milk is absorbed. Set it aside and cover it for 5 minutes. Add all the ingredients and serve. Now that's easy right?

The Dangers of Soy and Some Great Soy Alternatives

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

In the vast sea of processed foods, soy is found as an ingredient in many foods. Are we better off with it or without it? And is soy really so dangerous?

The Dangers of Soy and Some Great Soy Alternatives

Soy has been around for centuries and centuries. It is known as shoyu in Japan, and later adapted to the word "soy" that we currently use.

Before it was a source of food, the soy crop was revered in Asia and used to fix nitrogen in the soil when rotating crops.

Soy was not eaten until the Chou Dynasty, when fermenting techniques were discovered. It was made into foods like miso, natto, and soy sauce. Historically, the Chinese did not eat a lot of soy that was unfermented. Even today, unfermented soy is not a large mainstay of the Asian diet, and is often eaten with meat and fish broths, which helps to counteract the harmful effects of soy on the body.

After the early 1900s, soy became a major crop in the United States. However, it did not become a source of food until the 1920s. Growing soy was especially important after World War I and during the Great Dustbowl. It was used to help fix the soil in order to reestablish huge crops in the Mid-East areas of the United States (remember... it has awesome nitrogen-fixing properties). From 1932-1933 Henry Ford spent about ,250,000.00 on soybean research. It was used to make paint and oil with for his car company, Ford Motor Company. Ford even hired chemists to make silk out of soy, called Azlon (although Dupont came along and took over the market with their version of "faux-silk," called polyester).

From there, soy took off as a food ingredient, first being used to make ice cream and non-dairy whipped cream. Now, it is prevalent in everything from chocolate to processed grain-cereals. In fact, soy is found in many processed foods, both Organic and Conventional. It is well-known as the main ingredient in infant formulas and protein drinks.

But Hey, What's the Problem With Soy?

A lot is wrong with soy. Although this "miracle-bean" is touted as a factor in longevity and heart-disease prevention, it comes with many more risks than so-called benefits. The dangers of soy are many:

Phytic Acid in Soy

Soy contains Phytic Acid. Phytic Acid in soy cannot be neutralized (like it can in some grains, seeds and nuts) by being soaked in an acidic medium. Phytic acid is also not neutralized when soy is cooked or during its processing. Phytic Acid is an enzyme-inhibitor. And what it does is block mineral absorption in the digestive tract. That means when eating soy, you block your body's ability to absorb calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron and copper. A mineral deficiency contributes to a variety of health problems, not limited to growth problems in children, immune development and thyroid disease. Only fermentation will neutralize Phytic Acid in soy.

Goitrogens

Okay, I bet you may not have heard of this one. And the risk with ingesting too many goitrogens (which are plentiful in soy), is it suppresses the thyroid. This can lead to weight gain, fatigue, inability to concentrate, decreased focus, feeling cold all the time, and so much more. Don't take your thyroid gland for granted, because once you start to have problems here, the road to recovery can be long and agonizing (I know).

Phytoestrogens

Back in the olden days, phytoestrogens were believed to be a woman's BFF (Best Friend Forever). Soy was the super-duper magic elixir that could help a woman with her hormones. Phytoestrogens mimic estrogen. Independent research (NOT sponsored by the soy industry) shows that high estrogen is related to breast cancer, infertility and low libido in women. Add soy to the diet and you get even more of that.

How Very Convenient, But The Dangers of Soy Don't Stop There...

Manufacturing soy is a huge ordeal; made up of lots of processes. Here is what happens when one of the most common food ingredients, soy protein isolate is made:

  • After the bulk of a soy crop is solvent-extracted with hexane...
  • Soy protein isolate is taken as a byproduct from the manufacturing of soybean oil.
  • After being subjected to series of alkaline and acidic washes, it is spray-dried to become a powder (which ends up in "diet" protein powders and baby formula).
  • During the spray-drying process, carcinogenic nitrates are formed.
  • MSG is generally added to TVP(made via a high-temperature process), which gives it a "meaty" flavor and masks the bean taste. TVP is used as "fake meat" in many health food products.
  • Also present in soy (even after the high temperature process), is trypsin inhibitor, which makes it necessary for farm animals that consume soy-based products to be given lysine supplements. Humans who eat soy can also become deficient in lysine, but we generally don't hear about supplementation for that.

Other Side Effects of Soy (Wait! You Mean There's More?!)

Yes.

GMO Soy

What exactly is GMO soy?

77% of the soy grown worldwide is known as a Genetically Modified Organism. In the United States, 93% of the soy grown is considered GMO. This means that the soy seed has been genetically modified (in most cases) to be able to withstand huge amounts of the glyphosate or glufosinate herbicides. When you ingest soy that is NOT organic, you ingest these herbicides.

Glyphosate (used in Monsanto's Roundup) has been associated with a host of deformities in lab animals, and of course, large doses of it will cause serious injury or death to an adult. Initial exposure can lead to rashes, nausea, sore throat, difficulty breathing, headaches, lethargy and nosebleeds. Long term human studies have shown more increased risks of the cancer non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, miscarriages, and attention deficit disorder with this herbicide.

Glufosinatekills plants by inhibiting the enzyme glutamine synthetase (try saying that 5 times really quicly), an enzyme also found in animals including humans. In lab animals, particularly dogs, glufosinate caused heart and circulatory failure (within two weeks of ingesting). Other lab animals had higher rates of miscarriages, premature delivery, convulsions, diarrhea, and aggressiveness.

Please understand that A LOT of these two herbicides can be sprayed on GMO soy to discourage weed growth. GMO soy will contain traces of these herbicides. It cannot be washed off. IF you are going to consume soy, make sure you consume organic soy.

One more problem with GMO soy is that the soy has been genetically modified and long term studies on the effects of this on humans has not been studied extensively. The future implications on our society could be serious.

Last, But Not Least...

Soy allergies are highly common (along with milk, wheat, egg and nut allergies).

Soy allergies symptoms include:

According to the Mayo Clinic, "Soy allergies can include:

  • Tingling in the mouth
  • Hives, itching or itchy, scaly skin (eczema)
  • Swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat, or other parts of the body
  • Wheezing, runny nose or trouble breathing
  • Abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting
  • Redness of the skin (flushing)"

The Mayo Clinic also states:

"Soy allergy in infants often begins with the introduction of a soy-based formula. Soy allergy may develop when a child is switched to a soy-based formula after an allergic reaction to a milk-based formula." source: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/soy-allergy/DS00970/DSECTION=symptoms

So...IF you are not going to (or cannot) breastfeed your baby and he or she must have formula, please take a look at these natural infant formulas at:

http://www.westonaprice.org/childrens-health/recipes-for-homemade-baby-formula

Now...there are soy alternatives that you can use in your diet, whether you are eating a Vegan diet, a Paleo diet or anywhere in between.

Here's How You Avoid Soy and What You Can Eat Instead of Soy:

Check all labels. Soy is in many, many processed foods. Manufacturers will generally state on the label that the food product contains soy, but the best way to avoid it is to cook from scratch. It is known as "soy lecithin," "soya," "hydrolyzed soy protein," "soy protein isolate" or "soy." It can even be used as a "natural preservative."

Alternate milk sources:

Cow's Milk

Goat's Milk

Almond Milk

Rice Milk

Coconut Milk

Hemp Milk

All of these "milks" are guaranteed to be at the health food store and are becoming very common at regular grocery stores, as well. You can even make your own milks with nothing more than a blender and a coffee filter. Homemade coconut milk and almond milk are very nutritious. If you are interested in making these milks (it's pretty simple to do), you can "Google" it.

Alternative Protein Sources:

Whey protein

Meat (of any kind)

Eggs (super-easy to make)

Spirulina

Pea (sold as drink powders)

Rice (sold as drink powders)

Dairy Products

I thrive on a diet with adequate meat, and sometimes I'll cook up some extra hamburger (or something else) ahead of time for those times when I really, really need some protein. I add it to salads, to mix into a veggie stir-fry, or whatever else. I also like to keep some hardboiled eggs in the fridge for an "on-the-go" snack. Of course, protein powders are handy too...

Fermented Soy Products. Now, these soy-containing foods are okay to eat. In fact, not only are they okay to eat, but because they are fermented (and contain LOTS of beneficial lactobacilli), fermented soy products can be a very important part of your diet. Here's what they are:

Tamari Sauce

Natto

Fermented Bean Paste

Tempeh

Miso

One of my favorite things to eat (especially first thing in the morning), is chicken broth with miso paste mixed in. I add ½ teaspoon of miso paste to one cup of chicken broth. Miso can be quite salty tasting (so watch out!); add it a little bit at a time to taste. You can start out slowly...

Snacks. There quite a few snacks out there that contain soy. Some of these are made purely of soy (or have LOTS of it in there). If you are avoiding soy entirely, watch out for chocolate chips or chocolate (soy lecithin is usually in chocolate). Haha, chocolate is the trickiest one of all, I think...Here's where I have found soy-free chocolate:

SomeWhole Foods brand organic chocolate bars

Enjoy Life makes chocolate without soy in it (but still look at the labels)

Here are some other soy-free snacks:

Cheese

Veggies and Fruits

Homemade roasted(or dehydrated nuts)

Most Larabars

Enjoy Life products

Homemade organic popcorn

So, the next time you venture into the grocery store or to the Farmer's Market, know that you have healthy, quick, and nutritious alternatives to soy.

Easy Paleo Recipes :

Paleo Lunch

Paleo Lunch Ideas

Ideal Paleo lunch options are easy to prepare and can be packed to take to work or school. Like any other Paleo meal, the key is planning in advance. Proper planning is the essential ingredient in success with any diet.

In my household, I prefer to make double batches of every dinner. I then pack a portion for the next day's lunch and freeze the remaining for another day. If I do not have a leftover option, I opt to make an easy salad.

Here is my favorite salad recipe:

Arugula Artichoke Salad

1/3 pound fresh arugula

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/3 cup olive oil

3 or 4 artichoke hearts, chopped

sea salt and pepper to taste

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Place arugula in a large bowl. Mix in artichokes and drizzle with dressing. Toss well.

Fresh lunch:

BLT Lettuce Wraps

3 slices of bacon

Sliced avocado

Chopped chicken - grilled, broiled, or rotisserie

Paleo mayo

Romaine lettuce leaves

Place ingredients in romaine leaves standing like a taco shell. Enjoy!

Here is favorite recipe for leftovers:

Fresh Herb Meatballs

1 pound ground beef

1pound ground pork

1/3 onion, minced

1/3 cup fresh basil, finely minced

1/3 cup fresh parsley, finely minced

1 cup spinach, finely minced

4 eggs

1/3 cup almond flour

1 T dried oregano

4 cloves garlic, minced

sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine. You can use a food processor to chop the herbs and spinach into a finer mixture before adding to the meat, if you wish. Season with sea salt and pepper.

Make golf ball sized meatballs and place them on a baking sheet with sides. Cool for about 25 minutes or until well done.

When you find yourself struggling to find Paleo lunch ideas, turn to a great Paleo recipe book. The books with images and detailed instructions seem to be the best. There is a wide variety of meal options to choose from. If you are like me, you will not want to eat out every lunch during the work week. It is great to have Paleo friendly options available and planned before lunch time rolls around. The base of any Paleo meal, including your lunch consists of lean meats, chicken, seafood, fruits, fresh vegetables and healthy fats. Anyone can make an easy, healthy Paleo lunch.

Easy Kid Recipes For Mexican Drinks

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

Tequila, Kahlua, and margaritas are well known Mexican drinks for adults and there is also Mexican beer, hot chocolate with rum and lots of Mexican cocktails to choose from. However, what about kid recipes for Mexican drinks? What do Mexican children drink and how can you make kid recipes for Mexican drinks at home?

Easy Kid Recipes For Mexican Drinks

Popular Drinks for Children in Mexico

Commercial bottle sodas such as Coca Cola and Fanta are popular drinks in Mexico and kids also like to drink fruit juices, milk, and hot chocolate. Atole is a mixture of water, toasted ground corn tortillas, and toasted ground corn kernels. Add black corn, ground squash seed, and salt and you have a jocoatole. Chia is sweetened water with the chia herb, which is a bit like sage. Alfajor is a sweet and delicious drink made with almonds, honey, coconut and more.

Unusual Mexican Drink Recipes

More obscure drinks which can be found in Mexican bars and restaurants include sangrita (not to be confused with sangria) which is a weird sounding combination of sugar, orange juice, ground onion, chili, salt and vegetable colorant, and pozol, which is corn paste mixed in water with either salt or sugar added for flavor.

There are many kinds of Mexican drinks and these make the perfect accompaniment to authentic Mexican food recipes. You might like to try a milk based drink such as the thick, yogurt-like cuajada, if you are eating a spicy Mexican food with lots of chili in it.

Traditional Mexican drinks complement traditional Mexican foods and there are also lots of ice cold drinks to cool you down on a hot day or piping hot coffee or chocolate based drinks to warm you up on a cool evening.

Aqua Fresca -- A Very Refreshing Mexican Beverage

Mexicans love fruity drinks and these are suitable for adults and kids and great served with lots of ice for cooling you down on a hot summer day. Use a zero calorie sweetener or honey instead of the sugar if you prefer.

You can use any fruit you like to make Mexican aqua fresca, including apple, banana, peach, strawberry, cherry, kiwi fruit and watermelon. Experiment with different flavors for different results. The following recipe serves six people or three very thirsty ones.

Aqua Fresca with Fresh Fruit and Citrus Juice

You will need:

  • 4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup sugar or equivalent honey or sweetener
  • 2 teaspoons lemon or lime juice
  • 2 cups fresh fruit, peeled, de-seeded and chopped
  • Lemon or lime wedges, to garnish

How to make it:

Combine the water and fruit in a blender, and then pour this mixture into a pitcher, through a sieve. Stir in the lemon or lime juice and add sugar or sweetener to taste. Garnish the pitcher with a wedge of lemon or lime and serve with plenty of ice. If you do not have ice, you can chill the water and fruit before pureeing it, so the drink is cold.

What Exactly Is the Paleo Diet Program?

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

The paleo diet program has become popular recently thanks to the amount of beneficial results folks have had, where no other diet would work. The paleo diet is a form of a low-carb diet that is actually implemented as more of a way of living than a diet. It calls for dedication. It demands change. It yields results. You have to find paleo diet recipes. You need to eat a paleo breakfast, a paleo lunch, and a paleo dinner. I don't always snack, but when I do, its paleo.

What Exactly Is the Paleo Diet Program?

The key rule of the paleo diet is to eat like our ancestors, the cavemen. Cavemen didn't have farming and constantly had to hunt and gather for their meals. They survived on a diet of meat, fish, berries, fruit, roots, nuts, and vegetables. They were furthermore active and had to be physically in good shape to safeguard themselves and their families. There were no guns (the great equalizer) or even crossbows.

The paleo diet seeks to imitate the cavemen by foregoing carbs, eating a couple large meals every day, consuming a lot of animal fat, and ideally eating lots of organic produce. While typically animal fat is demonized as a cause of being overweight, a month or two eating as a caveman will teach you that carbohydrates are the real primary cause.

The main difference between this diet and previous low-carb diets, such as the Atkins, is that this is a way of living in addition to a diet. You can still eat fruits with this diet, even the ones with lots of natural sugar. It is all right if you slip-up every now and then. The key is to follow an 80%/20% principle; stay rigid to the program 80% of the time and don't worry if you slip up in the other 20%.

The diet works by schooling your body to begin digesting your body fat for your energy instead of using carbohydrates as in a normal American diet. Carbohydrates are not evil, it is just in our present state of civilization where many of us work in careers that call for little or no physical exercise, we don't need them. Eating more than half of your daily calorie consumption in carbohydrates when you are not an endurance athlete and asking yourself why you are obese is like wearing a winter coat to Miami and asking yourself why you are sweaty. By getting rid of carbohydrates from the diet and instead consuming your calories from animal fat and produce, your body is taught to break down fat instead of carbohydrates for energy.

So where to get started? For some people this diet is a substantial change to the status quo, and if you've been eating a particular way for most of your adult life it is not easy to switch at the flip of a coin. Here are a couple steps to help get you on the right path:

1. Discard all of your processed foods
This is an absolute must. It doesn't matter if you are getting with the paleo plan or if you are on a standard calorie-counting diet, processed foods are the most detrimental thing you can put into your system food-wise. They have chemical substances used to make manufacturing easier and faster, usually too much salt, low quality ingredients, virtually no nutritional value, and are often strictly simple carbohydrates. You ever ask yourself why most coupons are marketed only for this junk? Because it's trash and everyone knows it.

2. Get rid of fast food.
This may be challenging for people who live on a tight schedule, but you got to take care of yourself. Have you read recently that McDonalds just now eliminated a pink slime chemical (some form of ammonium) from their burgers because someone ratted them out to the press? Think about that for a moment. Pink slime. Makes me gag. They use the lowest quality meat at these places to make it cheap and quick to cook.

Slow Carb Dieting for Vegetarians

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

At first glance the slow carb diet can seem extremely meat heavy. Having many of its roots in the paleo style of dieting, eating as we are evolved to do so being a hunter-gatherer species, there is a great emphasis on animal protein as a source of calories and nutrition. So can you successfully and healthily slow-carb-diet as a vegetarian? Yes, you can. If you are vegan, and eat no animal-derived foods at all, it will be much more difficult - but lacto-ovo vegetarians should have no problems.

Slow Carb Dieting for Vegetarians

Every vegetarian is used to fielding that old chestnut of a question, 'so, where do you get your protein then?' Obviously most of us aren't wasting away, and just about have the metabolic energy to explain (again) about complete and incomplete vegetable protein, how there are amino acids in just about every plant cell we consume, and how we don't have to eat all the essential ones in each meal, etc. Vegetarians are less likely to suffer from health conditions related to over-consumption of protein, but actual deficiency is extremely rare in the developed world.

On the slow carb diet, the lack of dairy is a frustration that lacto-ovo vegetarians might have trouble adjusting to. Dairy produce is probably the main reason for vegetarians ending up overweight in the first place, particularly cheese - providing a solid savory taste, it's easy to use it as a protein source in many meals, without being overly aware of the huge calorie density it provides. But on the slow carb diet, your protein is going to come from...

  • Those pulses you are eating at every meal - yes they are there to provide fiber, but also provide a high-quality vegetarian protein source, and you should judge portions accordingly
  • Nuts and nut butters - but beware the tumbling of dominoes along with your willpower, and purchase in small portions only!
  • Cottage cheese - permitted in small quantities. When purchasing from a store that has several brands, look closely at the indicated carb content and sugars, the variation may surprise you, and 'reduced fat' variants that might initially appeal to dieters are often higher in sugars as a result
  • Protein shakes - check ingredients carefully for sugars, and also for actual vegetarian content
  • Eggs - you are going to be eating a LOT of eggs!

Tim Ferriss is amongst many commentators and researchers who hold strong views on the appropriateness of soy protein in human nutrition - for many the jury is still out on this, but whilst the evidence gathering continues, it is wise to avoid over-dependency on soy in its many forms (for example tofu, tempeh, vegetarian meat substitutes, etc). This is particularly important if you are male and of reproductive age... and if you do want to eat tofu etc, then be sure to seek an organic source, as virtually all other soy beans have genetically modified origins in the US, and it may facilitate digestion to eat along with a fermented food such as miso or sauerkraut (or a probiotic supplement).

Most importantly though as a vegetarian is to learn to love eggs. Find an animal-friendly source of free-range organic eggs, and explore the multitude of ways you can prepare them - fried, poached, scrambled, boiled, hard boiled, baked, they can be enjoyed in so many different ways simply cooked alone, and once you start finding some great recipes to use them in then the sky is the limit. Sometimes people are concerned about eating 'too many' eggs due to their high cholesterol content, but the most recent research has debunked that direct correlation between personal cholesterol levels and the amount of cholesterol consumed, so you can safely consume several eggs a day as part of a balanced diet, particularly if it's not done in conjunction with a load of meat.

Don't forget to add your PAGG supplement for additional vegetarian enhancement of your slow-carb-diet - the plant derivation of all elements of the PAGG stack are another successful indicator for the effects of a plant-based diet on weight loss. Above all don't let the 'meat-heavy' aspects of the published slow-carb diet put you off attempting the plan as a vegetarian, because there is a growing canon of delicious and healthy vegetarian recipes to support your successful and healthy weight loss. And if you can break your Edam Cheese addiction into the bargain, it's got to be a win-win.

A Guide to the Paleo Diet

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

Let's face it, fad diets come and go, which is why learning about the paleo diet is such a relief. Unlike other popular diet crazes that often leave you with extra weight that is impossible to keep off, the paleo plan looks beyond the scale. It offers a way of eating that is natural and proven. Did human beings in the Paleolithic era worry about blood pressure and diabetes? No, they did not. They ate whatever they could hunt and gather. There was no junk food and nothing could be chemically processed.

A Guide to the Paleo Diet

This diet is neither controversial nor sensational. It is simple, basic and easy to follow. You eat what the world provides rather than what a factory makes. If the food can be found in nature, it's good. If it is filled with chemicals, additives and ingredients that cannot be found in the forest, ocean, earth or trees, you probably want to stay away from it. This is not rocket science.

Weight loss is an immediate and appreciated benefit to the paleo diet. You will lose weight because you are not stuffing your body with empty calories that are found in junk foods and processed foods. There is so much more to this way of eating than weight loss, however. The diet makes your body stronger because it uses every bit of food that you put into it. You will find yourself with more energy and your system immune to a host of illnesses and diseases that come from bad products that are sold as food. Following this diet will help you develop an awareness of where your food comes from, and how your body uses it to function.

People who have begun using this plan are finding that they are able to lose weight, feel better and fight off medical issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. When you keep your body healthy, your mind follows. This diet promotes a holistic approach to the way you eat and live. You will notice dramatic differences almost immediately, and once you see how your health can improve, you will not want to go back to the unhealthy lifestyle you left.

Take a look at recipes and reviews from people who are improving their lives, their health and their weight. You will focus on whole foods that are real. Grass-fed beef, wild-caught fish, eggs from chickens that are able to live and roam freely, and vegetables and fruits that are not saturated with chemicals and toxins. Not only are you learning how to eat, with the paleo diet you are learning how to live.

So, go ahead and get to know the diet. Just reading up on it is motivating and energizing. You'll want to get started right away, like I did. Now that I'm eating well and feeling great, there is no turning back.
