4 Days until the Detox begins!! I cooked up some Lentils to prepare for the cleanse, as these little legumes are oozing with nutrients!
Heart-healthy lentils come in a variety of colors, and their benefits are pretty extraordinary as they are high in: protein, essential fiber, folic acid, Vitamin B and C, amino acids, antioxidants, and iron. Not to mention, they help lower cholesterol, manage blood sugar levels, ward off weight gain, cancer, heart disease and other ailments.
Here's an easy, delish, and detoxifying recipe, perfect for the cozy fall!
Lentil Saute:
1 cup Lentils
2.5 cups Water
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 small Shallot
2 cloves Garlic
Kale Leaves
2 stalks Celery, chopped
Dashes of Cumin, Turmeric, and Sea Salt (Remember my post about the magical, anti-inflammatory spice called Turmeric?)
In a skillet, bring oil, garlic and shallot together for 3 min. Add in lentils and water, stir. Cook for 25 minutes, then add in celery, kale and spices. Add more water if needed to achieve a stew-like consistency. Enjoy!
