▶️ QUINOA AND CHICKPEA RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 to 4 servings)
1 cup / 190g Quinoa (soaked for about 30 minutes/strained)
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 cups / 275g Onion
200g / 1 cup Carrots
1+1/2 Tbsp / 19 to 20g Garlic – finely chopped
1 Tsp Turmeric
1+1/2 Tsp Ground Coriander
1 Tsp Ground Cumin
1/4 Tsp Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
1/2 cup / 125ml Passata or Tomato Puree
1 cup / 200g Tomatoes – chopped
Salt to taste
200g / 6 to 7 cups Spinach
2 cups / 1 Can COOKED Chickpeas (liquid drained)
350ml / 1+1/2 cup Vegetable Broth / Stock
Ground Black Pepper to taste (I have added 1/2 teaspoon)
Drizzle of Olive Oil (OPTIONAL) – I have added 1 Teaspoon of organic cold pressed olive oil
▶️ METHOD:
Start by thoroughly washing the quinoa until the water runs clear and then soak in water for about 30 minutes. Once the quinoa is soaked drain the water and let it sit in a strainer. Also, drain 2 cups of home cooked chickpeas or 1 can of cooked chickpeas and allow it sit in the strainer to drain any excess water.
To a heated pan add the olive oil, onion, carrots and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Adding salt to the onions and carrots will release it’s moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it. Fry the onion on medium to medium-high heat until it’s golden brown. You will notice the quantity of the carrots and onions have shrunk in half. Add the chopped garlic and fry for about 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add the spices (Turmeric, Ground Coriander, Ground Cumin, Cayenne Pepper) and fry for a few seconds. Then add the tomato puree or passata, chopped tomatoes, salt to taste and fry for about 3 minutes or until the tomatoes break down completely and form a thick paste.
Add the chopped spinach. Mix well until it wilted, It will take about a minute or so. Then add the soaked quinoa, COOKED chickpeas, vegetable broth/stock and mix well. Bring it to a vigorous boil. Then cover the lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook on low heat for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked.
Once the quinoa is cooked, uncover the pan. Increase the heat to medium or medium-high flame and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes to cook out the excess moisture. Turn off the stove. Add freshly ground black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix well. Serve hot.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
???? Thoroughly wash the quinoa, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk/bitterness and will give a cleaner taste to the quinoa
???? Every stove is different SO ADJUST THE HEAT AND COOKING TIME AS REQUIRED
???? Adding salt to onions and carrots will release it’s moisture and will help it cook faster so please don’t skip it
???? Sometimes one batch of quinoa can be more dry than the other, SO ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDINGLY

QUINOA And LENTILS Recipe | HIGH PROTEIN Vegetarian And Vegan Meal Ideas
QUINOA And LENTILS Recipe | HIGH PROTEIN Vegetarian And Vegan Meal Ideas
???? Quinoa and Lentils Recipe | High Protein Vegetarian and Vegan Meal Ideas
???? Let me know if you enjoyed my vegan quinoa and lentil recipe
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 to 4 servings)
???? To cook the green lentils:
1/2 Cup / 100g GREEN Lentils (Washed/Soaked for 8 to 10 hours or overnight)
1 Teaspoon Salt (I have added pink Himalayan salt)
2 Cups / 475ml Water
???? To Marinate the cooked green lentils:
1+1/2 Tablespoon Lemon juice OR TO TASTE
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil (I have added organic cold pressed olive oil)
???? To cook Quinoa:
1 Cup / 190g Quinoa (Washed/Soaked for 30 minutes)
2 to 3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Cup / 135g Onion
1+1/2 Cup / 200g Carrots (2 medium size carrots)
1 Tablespoon Garlic – finely chopped
3 Tablespoon Tomato paste OR TO TASTE
1+1/2 Teaspoon Paprika (NOT SMOKED)
1+1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (optional)
Salt to taste (I added total 1+1/4 Teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
1+1/2 Cup / 350ml Vegetable Broth (LOW SODIUM)
???? To Garnish:
1/2 Cup / 65g Red Onion – chopped
1/2 Cup / 25g Parsley – chopped
1/4 Cup / 5g Mint OR TO TASTE – chopped
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper or to taste
▶️ METHOD:
Wash & soak 1/2 cup of green lentils for 8 to 10 hours or overnight. Once the lentils are soaked, drain the water and rinse it. Transfer the lentils to a pot. Add salt and water. Cook over medium-high heat and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 4 minutes or until lentils are cooked but still holds its shape. WE DO NOT WANT MUSHY LENTILS. Right away strain the cooked lentils. Let it sit in the strainer to get rid of any excess water and allow it to cool down. Once lentils have cooled, add lemon juice, olive oil and mix well. Allow the lentils to marinate while we continue with the rest of the cooking.
✅ ????Cooking time of the lentils depends on it’s quality. One batch of lentils maybe drier than the others and may require longer cooking time. SO ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDINGLY.
Thoroughly wash 1 cup of quinoa until the water runs clear and then soak in water for 30 minutes. ✅ ????After 30 minutes drain the water from quinoa and let it sit in the strainer to get rid of any excess water.
To a heated WIDE PAN, add olive oil, chopped onion, carrots, 1/4 tsp salt and fry on medium to medium-high heat until it’s slightly browned (about 5 to 6 minutes). ADDING SALT TO ONION/CARROTS RELEASES IT’S MOISTURE AND HELPS IT COOK FASTER, SO PLEASE DON’T SKIP IT. Add the garlic and fry on medium heat for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
✅ ????REDUCE THE HEAT TO LOW BEFORE ADDING THE SPICES AND TOMATO PASTE TO PREVENT IT FROM BURNING.
Add the tomato paste, paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper and fry on low heat for only 1 to 2 minutes (no longer than that), just to cook out the raw flavour of the tomato paste. Add the quinoa, salt, vegetable broth. Turn up the heat and bring to a VIGOROUS BOIL. Then reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until quinoa is cooked.
✅ ????DO NOT LET THE QUINOA GET MUSHY. ADJUST THE COOKING TIME OF QUINOA ACCORDING TO THE HEAT OF YOUR STOVE. DO CHECK IN 15 MINUTES, if still not cooked then cook for longer. It took me 20 minutes on my stove.
Once the quinoa is cooked, uncover the lid and turn off stove. Add the cooked lentils, ground black pepper, red onions, parsley, mint & mix well. Cover the lid and allow it to rest for 3 to 4 minutes for the flavours to blend.
Serve hot with a side of green salad. Perfect for meal prep / meal planning as it stores well in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days
▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:
???? Thoroughly wash the quinoa a few times until the water runs clear, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk/bitterness and will give quinoa a clean taste
???? Every stove is different SO ADJUST THE HEAT AND COOKING TIME AS REQUIRED
???? Cooking time of lentils depends on it’s quality. One batch of lentils maybe drier than the other and may require longer cooking time, SO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY
???? DON’T LET THE QUINOA GET MUSHY. ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDING TO THE HEAT OF YOUR STOVE. CHECK IN 15 MINUTES, if its still not cooked, then cook for longer

Fibromyalgia vs. Vegetarian & Raw Vegan Diets
"Fibromyalgia vs. Vegetarian & Raw Vegan Diets" Millions suffer from fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by months
of widespread pain, as well as fatigue, sleep disorders,
depression, anxiety, cloudy thinking, headaches,
low back pain, and other illnesses. It has an enormous impact
on the quality of life of patients who may experience a reduced capacity
to carry on the activities of daily living. Everyday activity becomes more difficult,
more time consuming, or simply impossible.
Its cause is unknown, and there’s no effective treatment
for this illness. What can we do for those who suffer? Well, according to the latest review
on fibromyalgia and nutrition, a vegetarian diet could have
some beneficial effects, but based on what kind of evidence? Well, back in 1991, a survey was sent
to a few hundred folks suffering from various chronic pain conditions
including fibromyalgia, asking if they found any success
trying different diets. Some folks tried a vegetarian diet,
some folks tried a vegan diet. Some reported the various diets
helped with pain, stiffness, and swelling. Vegan diets were reported
to reduce disease symptoms more effectively than the vegetarian diet
with rheumatoid arthritis. But what we needed was to put these diets
to the test in formal studies. The first one was in ’93. Ten fibromyalgia patients were put on
a vegetarian diet for three weeks.
The measured levels of oxidation
and inflammation and cholesterol went down – no surprise. But of interest
from a clinical point of view is the positive effect of the treatment
upon pain status of most of the patients. Seven out of ten felt better. They weren’t sure if it was the improved condition
of the fibromyalgia patients in this course of treatment
with a vegetarian diet – whether it was due to the improvement
of their antioxidant status or what it was about a meat-free diet
that seemed to help so much. A vegan diet was first put to the test
in 2000, in Helsinki. You can tell English is not the researchers’
first language with sentences like: “Plants face heavy load of light.” The point they’re making is good though. UV light generates free radicals
in their tissues. All this means is that, you know,
plants must be well prepared to meet the challenges
of the oxidant radical stress and contain a broad variety
of antioxidants. That’s why plants don’t get sunburned
and their DNA damaged hanging out all day in the sun
without any sun block on.
So what would happen if you had people
live exclusively on plant items? In other words, what might be the effects
of a strict vegan diet on the symptoms of fibromyalgia? In fact the study used a raw vegan diet. The rheumatoid patients said
they felt better when they started to eat
the living food diet, and the symptoms got worse
when they returned back to their previous omnivorous diet. But what about the fibromyalgia patients? Both groups reported having
quite a lot of pain at rest in the beginning of the study. But there’s a significant decrease
in the raw vegan group, which gradually disappeared
after shifting back to the omnivorous diet. They also found other
significant changes, such as improvement
in the quality of sleep, reduction of morning stiffness, and improvement in measures
of general health. So, for example, here’s morning stiffness. The light bar represents those
about to go on the raw vegan diet, and the dark bars,
the omnivorous control group. They started out about the same,
but after about a month and a half those eating vegan felt
significantly less stiff, which continued through the end
of the three-month study.
And when they went back to eating their
regular diet, the stiffness returned. What about pains at rest?
Same thing. So significant improvements
in fibromyalgia – stiffness, pain, and general health
on a plant-based diet. The study only lasted three months, but it can be concluded that eating vegan has beneficial effects
on fibromyalgia symptoms, at least in the short run..
