Favorite Fast & Easy Recipes

So you think it takes so much time to prepare meals for
yourself? You're super busy, and when it comes to food preparation you might be super lazy. Become a master of quick, healthy, plant based meals that anyone can make in no time.

As I was searching around the Internet this week, looking for information about fast and easy recipes, I came across some really good resources. In particular, I found this one article which was really helpful. Here's the article. Tell me what you think.

Muscle Building Shake:
16oz sugar free almond milk
30-50gms (depending on bodyweight) of brown rice or pea protein
(or a blend)
1 cup organic mixed frozen berries
˝ cup frozen spinach (sounds gross but you can't taste it)
1 banana
1 cup raw oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cacao nibs
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Add more water if thinner
consistency is desired. Pour and top with one tbsp goji berries.

Lentil Stew:
This is incredibly easy to make, healthy and packed
with protein.
1 carton veggie broth
1 carton of soup starter fresh from the grocery store (or just dice
up a 2/3 cup each of carrots, celery and onions)
1 bag lentils
1-2 cups sliced mushrooms
3 cups of finely chopped kale
Diced garlic to taste (I usually go light with the garlic)
Sea salt to taste
Red pepper (better for you than black pepper)
Bring all ingredients to boil in large pot then reduce heat, cover
and let simmer for 90-120 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more
water if necessary to achieve desired consistency.

If you're in a rush, just throw in the broth, soup starter veggies,
lentils and spices and cook it for an hour. Easy as could be.

If you need more carbs you can dice up some potatoes and add it to
the stew or simply pour the lentils over some brown rice pasta when
they're done.

Mexican Beans & Rice
2 cups organic brown rice
2 cans organic black beans
2 cups frozen mixed peppers
1 sliced avocado
˝ cup frozen diced onions
Sea salt to taste
Red pepper to taste
Organic salsa
Cook rice in a pot by itself or if you're pressed for time get the
frozen pre cooked bags of brown rice from Trader Joe's or Whole
Foods. Put beans, frozen peppers in onions in a pan and heat them to desired temperature. Combine all ingredients into one big bowl when hot. Add spices and top with sliced avocado and organic salsa.
