Black Strawberry Lemonade

 

 

Are you feeling a bit hungover, or maybe you ate too much this weekend. Here is the cure for your woes….BLACK STRAWBERRY LEMONADE.

The blackness comes from activated charcoal, which is an all natural supplement  that has been used in medicine for centuries. Its job is to bind harmful toxins and substances in your stomach and keep them from being absorbed into your body (YAASSSSSSS COME THROUGH DETOX).

These toxic chemicals could accumulate overtime in your small and large intestines or be absorbed into your body and place you at risk for future chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes or even cancer.

Black Bean Burgers and Plantains

Salty, Frozen Dinners

I am not a fan of frozen dinners. Although as a youth in Detroit and as a college student microwave dinners were the go to for the quick meal, frozen foods are no longer my meal of choice. My disdain is based in the preservatives and salt content. Firstly, the salt content in the average, single frozen dinner is not only more than the daily recommended value but it more than than the yearly recommended value. Our diets are full of salt.  I just don’t see the need to add more. All that extra salt is asking for higher blood pressure, heart disease, and eventual heart attack and stroke. So no shade against those who eat frozen dinners, just they are not for me. I especially do not like frozen bean patties because they smell. 

Black Bean Burgers

Firstly, these bean burgers do not smell.  Secondly, they taste wonderful. Thirdly they have been upgraded. While the beans are the same, the preparation technique is simpler. The previous recipe was just mashed up black beans with a grainy, heterogenous and inconsistent texture.  This time, at the suggestion of my girlfriend, instead of a grossly,  coarse costing of oatmeal over the beans,the oatmeal into a fine powder to act as the binder of the beans mix. Performing this action allowed for better mixing and an even texture. Genius. 

Fresh is Better

The updated burger is still made with fresh black beans, garlic, pepper and no added salt. It is quicker, easy, and more adaptable; storing wonderfully in the freezer for anytime of the year to be doctored up to make a wrap, panini, or any other sandwich or ditch the bread and make a Black Bean Salad. The taste is juicy and full of flavor.These burgers are a nice break away from my carnivorous disposition. wow factor. They are packed with a nutritious punch of protein, antioxidants, micronutrients, low glycemic index and complex carbohydrates leaving me full and satisfied. 

Thanks for trying the food,

Vegetarian Pho

Winter is officially here. Low temperatures, snow fall, and little sunlight make the winter months difficult to manage. Try this prescription for a nice and hearty bowl of Vegetarian Detox Pho to help fend off those winter viral infections and keep warm during these cold months. Use a low-sodium vegetable stock to cut the sodium content of the soup and you can also consider swapping the rice noodles for whole wheat noodles higher in fiber. Top your pho soup with fresh vegetables to add fiber, vitamin A and potassium to the meal. Common vegetable toppings include bean sprouts, bell peppers and red onions. Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil, deliver a small boost of vitamin A, and a squirt of fresh lime juice adds a bit of vitamin C. Skip the salty hot sauces in favor of fresh Jalapeno, which is naturally sodium free!

Hypertension is an important factor in cardiovascular diseases. Specifically, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, such as lisinopril and ramipril, are synthetic drugs that are widely used to treat and control high blood pressure. Amaranth, a new up-in-coming super food, is packed full of health benefits. One specific benefit, is its effect on hypertension. Studies have shown that amaranth, and other rice proteins, have similar ACE inhibitor capabilities. So, having to treat your high blood pressure with synthetic drugs, try this recipe for a delicious breakfast that is packed full of anti-hypertensive agents.
