Have you tried matcha? 🍵 I made the switch from Have you tried matcha? 🍵 I made the switch from coffee to matcha because I was getting bad symptoms from drinking coffee - jitters, anxiety, poor digestion. 

Here’s why I switched to matcha:
🟢 Coffee hits you immediately like a ton of bricks while matcha comes on slowly. Your body receives the energy gradually so you feel energized without the anxiety inducing symptoms!

🟢 Matcha has a significant amount of antioxidants while coffee doesn’t have any. These antioxidants help fight disease, are anti-inflammatory, and slow aging.

🟢 Unlike coffee, matcha isn’t addictive. Quitting coffee literally causes withdrawal - those symptoms include headaches, fatigue, nausea, and muscle pain.

🟢 Ever notice coffee staining your teeth? Matcha does the opposite, it actually improves your oral health, can reduce plaque buildup, and fight bacteria thanks to the antioxidants.

Matcha is so easy to prepare and can be used in place of coffee for any fun drinks! Next time you’re at Starbucks or your local coffee shop, try switching your drink for matcha and see how you feel!

Kid Friendly Superseed Chewy Bars 🍫 I was int Kid Friendly Superseed Chewy Bars 🍫 

I was introduced to superseed bars through @elissagoodman when I lived in LA and did her cleanse, and have been obsessed ever since! I made a couple swaps to her original recipe - if you’re in LA find them at @erewhon 🧡 

If you’re looking for healthy treats for your kids (or yourself!) these chewy & sweet bars are great and require no baking. A great alternative to store-bought chewy bars which often contain harmful ingredients.

Benefits include:

* ��High in antioxidants
🟠 Healthy source of vegan protein
🟠 Promotes heart health
🟠 Aids in healthy digestion
🟠 Anti-inflammatory

Here’s how to make 16 bars:

INGREDIENTS—
- 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cup cups organic brown rice crisp cereal
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup almond butter or tahini
- 1/2 cup agave
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS—
1. Grease an 8x8 pan with oil. 

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, brown rice cereal, chia seeds, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, almonds, coconut, cinnamon and salt. Mix until combined and evenly distributed.

3. In a saucepan, add the agave, vanilla, and your nut butter or tahini. Use a rubber spatula to mix well - about 3 min.

4. Pour the nut butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined, then fold in the chocolate chips. 

5. Transfer the mixture to the pan and spread into an even layer. Press down to ensure the bars don’t come apart. I start with my rubber spatula, then add a layer of parchment paper and stack on another 8x8 pan. Press firmly down.

6. Place the pan in the freezer covered with the parchment, second baking pan, and a pair of hand weights. Let sit for a few hours.

7. Remove from the freezer and carefully flip the pan to pop out the square. Cut into 16 even squares. Wrap the bars individually in plastic wrap and keep in the freezer, or keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 weeks.

Golden Mineral Broth 🫚🧡🍠🥕 RECIPE ⬇️ 

This mineral broth is my favorite way to stay warm and healthy during the colder months. Not only is it so easy to make and store, it’ll make your house smell amazing! You’ll get alllll the minerals including harder to get trace minerals which are SO healing.

Add 3 quarts of water to a pot and add in:
🟠 2 onions, peeled and diced
🟠 4 garlic cloves
🟠 1 bunch celery, chopped and leaves removed
🟠 5 large carrots, chopped and ends removed
🟠 8 dried shiitake mushrooms
🟠 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
🟠 1 thumb ginger, chopped
🟠 1 thumb turmeric, chopped
🟠 1 cup fresh herbs (I used tarragon and dill)
🟠 6 whole peppercorns 
🟠 1 tsp sea salt
🟠 1-2 sheets kombu - tip from @tamaraluckrdn 🧡 

Bring the water to a boil then simmer covered for 3-6 hours. The longer you simmer, the more flavorful your broth is. I recommend 6 hours if you can. Your house will smell incredible!

Strain liquid into a jar and store in the fridge for a week or the freezer up to 6 months. I recommend splitting the recipe into smaller jars and refrigerating only what you know you’ll consume so it doesn’t go bad.

Quinoa Risotto with Veggies & Basil Arugula Pesto – Vegan and Healthy

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
quinoa risotto with basil arugula pesto

Quinoa Risotto with Veggies & Basil Arugula Pesto.

This healthy vegan lunch or dinner is the definition of whole foods plant-based eating. This risotto dish is packed with fresh veggies and grains and can be made in under 30 minutes. I used Violife’s vegan feta to top my basil arugula pesto, but that can easily be swapped with nutritional yeast.

quinoa risotto with basil arugula pesto

Basil Arugula Pesto

This vegan pesto is so easy to make. All you’ll need is olive oil, pine nuts, fresh basil, arugula, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and an optional topping of Violife’s vegan feta. If you want to keep this pesto for the week, double or even triple the recipe. It goes great over dishes like this, pasta, salads, veggie bowls, or as a dip for raw veggies such as carrots, celery, zucchini, or bell peppers.

basil arugula feta pesto

You’ll need a good food processor for this recipe. I would advise against a blender unless you’re making a large batch or it could get stuck. Here are my top picks from Amazon:

[envira-gallery id=’2582′]
quinoa risotto with basil arugula pesto

Quinoa Risotto

Risotto is traditionally made with arborio rice, but I prefer a grain like quinoa due to it’s nutritional benefits. 1 cup of quinoa contains 220 calories, 8g of protein, 5g of fiber, 39g carbs, and a ton of micronutrients including iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and potassium to name a few. Plus quinoa is naturally gluten-free and low FODMAP! If you struggle with gut health or digestion issues such as IBS, quinoa is a grain that should be incorporated into your diet ASAP.

You’ll cook the quinoa the same way as you’d cook normal risotto. Pan fry the grains in olive oil then slowly ladle in your liquid until the quinoa is soft. You can use veggie broth, mineral broth (I love Owl Venice’s mineral broth) or water with a vegetable or umami bouillon cube mixed in.

[envira-gallery id=’2708′]
[envira-gallery id=’2711′]

Whole Foods Plant-Based

Healthy meals like this are the definition of whole foods plant-based which I find to be the healthiest, most natural diet for humans. It consists of food that comes from the earth (plant-based) that is whole and unprocessed. Contrary to popular belief, the ingredients in this meal are incredibly cheap and accessible. You can even easily grow many of these ingredients at home!

Here’s my process:

  1. Make your Pesto. Combine your pesto ingredients in a food processor and pulse. Scrape down the sides frequently. The mixture should be a bit rough, I don’t like it too creamy but to each their own. Top with Violife’s vegan feta if desired. This pesto keeps in the fridge for up to one week.
  2. Cook your quinoa risotto style. Make sure to wash your quinoa first to remove any dust or debris. Heat olive oil on a pan then add your rinsed quinoa. Let cook for a few minutes before ladling in your veggie broth 1/2 cup at a time. Once the quinoa soaks up the liquid, ladle in another 1/2 cup of veggie broth. Repeat until the quinoa is soft and easy to chew. Turn off the heat then mix in arugula.
  3. Prep your veggies. Chop your green beans into 3-4 inch stalks and pan fry in olive oil until golden brown. Halve your cherry tomatoes and chop 1/4 of a lemon into 2 wedges. You will be topping your quinoa risotto with these veggies.
  4. Arrange your plate. This recipe makes 2 bowls, so split the quinoa and veggies between 2 plates and top with a dollop or 2 of pesto each.
  5. Save in meal prep containers. If you aren’t eating this meal fresh, it’s perfect for meal prep. Split the ingredients between 2 containers and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Ingredients

Quinoa Risotto

  • 1/2 cup quinoa
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 2-3 cups veggie broth
  • 1/2 cup arugula

Veggies

  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup green beans, chopped into 3-4 inches
  • 12 heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 lemon wedges

Basil Arugula Pesto

  • 2.5 cups fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup arugula
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup raw pine nuts
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp fresh black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Violife vegan feta optional topping

Instructions

Quinoa Risotto

  • Rinse your quinoa then heat olive oil on a pan. Once hot, add the rinsed quinoa and mix with the olive oil. After about 4-5 minutes cooking on a medium low heat, ladle in veggie broth 1/2 cup at a time. Repeat until quinoa is soft. For me, it took about 3 cups of veggie broth but it varies.
  • As soon as your quinoa is ready turn off the heat and mix in the arugula. Set aside.

Veggies

  • On your pan, add 1/2 tbsp of olive oil. After a minute of heating on a medium heat, add the chopped green beans. Stir every minute or so. Cook until golden brown.
  • Halve your cherry tomatoes and chop 1/4 of a lemon into 2 wedges.

Basil Arugula Pesto

  • In a food processor add all your ingredients minus the Violife vegan feta. Pulse and frequently scrape down the sides. Repeat until pesto is mostly blended, the mixture should be a little rough not completely smooth. Top with Violife’s vegan feta.
  • Add a dollop or 2 of pesto your quinoa risotto topped with the veggies.

Stir in the blended liquid until well combined. Add the mixture to a greased 8x8 pan and bake at 350 F for 40 minutes. You can optionally add thinly sliced apples on top as a garnish.

Let cool and enjoy, or top with yogurt frosting. I combined 1/4 cup vegan yogurt with 1/2 cinnamon and a few tbsp soy milk. 

Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. 

If you use the same ingredients as above, 1 slice is 248 cal and 10g protein.

Kid Friendly Immunity Juice 🍊🥕🍎🫚💛 Kid Friendly Immunity Juice 🍊🥕🍎🫚💛 

Please meet one of my favorite juice recipes! I loooovveee this juice because it’s an immune strengthening option for the entire family. Coupled with a healthy lifestyle, this juice helps to keep sickness away during flu season. Ginger shots are too intense for kids, so this is a great alternative.

Other benefits include:

🟠 Boosts eye & skin health
🟠 High in vitamin A and C
🟠 Boosts cognitive function
🟠 Promotes heart & liver health
🟠 Anti-inflammatory
🟠 Aids in weight management

Follow this recipe to make about 6 6oz juice:

🫚 1 thumbnail sized ginger root
💛 1 thumbnail sized turmeric root
🥕 4 large carrots
🍊 8 peeled oranges
🍎 2 cored red apples

Add ingredients to your juicer then transfer to a large mixing bowl. Stir in about 1/2 tsp black pepper (this is what will activate the turmeric)

Divide between juice bottles and enjoy within 4-5 days. Adults feel free to have up to 3 of these juices per day.
