Special guests at a simple supper!


So far, my cleanse suppers have been pretty simple and easy.  Tonight was similar with a few special guest ingredients.  My green leaf lettuce, carrot, and cucumber salad was jazzed up with an avocado, shredded golden beet, and a mixture of hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts (see top picture).  The avocado and seeds/nuts added a healthy fat source, the seeds/nuts added a healthy protein source, and the beets added extra liver friendly cleansing support.  My main dish was long grain brown rice, a stir fry with onions, garlic, crimini mushrooms, zucchini, green beans, cauliflower, purple kale, a red lentil sauce (seasoned with 1 clove garlic, 1 green onion, 1/4 tsp each cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, pinch each sea salt and cayenne), and brussel sprouts (see bottom picture).  The red lentil sauce added protein and flavour to the dish and the brussel sprouts added additional liver friendly cleansing support.  This supper was easy to make and was ready to eat in 45 minutes.  It was a filling and warming meal on a Sunday night.
