 This dish is sooooo super simple, delish, and yet packed with cancer fighting , inflammation reducing,  Super Foods ! I love how incredibly versatile it is ! You can use it simply as a salad . I like to put it over wild rice , quinoa , or farro for a complete meal . If you're  still a transitioning carnivore or live among them you can just use this as a side for them , and make it into a complete meal for you without really doing any additional work . I got through many transitional years doing stuff like this . It would go well with a grilled organic chicken breast or Salmon . Some roasted sweet potatoes would be magnificent on the side and they are always a family hit . The key is to be super creative . Creating meals can be so much fun and fast ! I created this dish because I am not a huge fan of raw broccoli but want the health benefits of it but needed it super palatable . I could eat the entire bowl all by myself so my mission was accomplished !  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do !

 
 
 
 
 

 Ingredients :

 
2 Large heads of broccoli
 
3-4 med-large tomatoes
 
2 avocados
 
a bunch of scallions
 
the juice of one lime
 
Himalayan salt to taste
 
 
 
 
 

 Directions for Avocado Mayo :

 
1. smash two avocados in a bowl
 
2. add the lime juice
 
3. mix together and add the Himalayan salt to taste
 
 

Directions for the salad :

 
1.chop up the scallions
 
2. chop up the broccoli into just small pieces of the florets
 ( I always save the stems for juicing )
 
3. chop the tomatoes
 
4. massage the avocado mayo into the salad by hand
 
* the lime juice will keep the avocado from turning
 
 
 
The approximate cost to make this salad that serves Four is about $10
you can make it cheaper by using a regular onion and grape Bragg's apple cider vinegar in place of the lime juice.
 
 
The key to buying food is to get the most nutritional , healing, cancer fighting ingredients for your money and this recipe here does the trick !

 I needed something super fast to put together last night for dinner and a veggie burger is definitely one of my go-to's . This particular recipe is simple, fast, and nutritionally balanced . It is also carries the stamp of approval from both my husband and little princess ( this speaks volumes because that's no easy task) . I love that these come out so thick there is no need to let them sit in the fridge prior to cooking like most veggie burgers . I hope you enjoy them as much as we did ! They are incredibly inexpensive to make even using organic Ingredients !
 
Tip : I make 3-4 sweet potatoes ahead of time and keep them in the fridge for recipes .  I typically have quinoa made up ahead of time . I actually didn't for this recipe but made a big batch so I could use it for tonight's recipe as well . Quinoa only takes 15 minutes to cook ( yippee)
 
 
 
 

Ingredients :

 
1 cooked organic medium sweet potato
 
3/4 cup organic cooked quinoa
 
1 can of organic,  BPA free black beans rinsed and dried a few minutes in a colander
 
Himalayan salt to taste
 
Onion powder to taste
 
2 Tablespoons of coconut oil (for the pan)
 I use an extra filtered one ( from Trader Joe's)  so there is no coconut flavor
 


Yield: 4 burgers






 

Directions :

 
Mix all the Ingredients together 
 
 I use a food processor and VERY LIGHTLY process but it's just as easy to mix it by hand .
 ( squish black beans a bit with a fork, mix with sweet potatoes ,spices and then fold in the quinoa)
 
Make into four patties
 
Heat up a pan with the coconut oil on med-high
 
Fry for 5 min on each side
 
 
 
 
I served these on sprouted grain rolls with Spinach with salted avocado & Cut Cucumber
 
 
This Burger is packed with complete protein and putting it on a sprouted grain roll adds another 10 grams of complete protein !
 
 
 

Cost :

Organic cucumber $2
Avocado $1.50
Sprouted grain rolls 2.99 ( not gluten free )
Organic Sweet Potato $1
Organic can of black Beans $1
Organic Quinoa $1

This entire nutrient dense, well balanced, and super satiating meal is approximately $10 !!
For 4 people!
 If you need to make this cheaper you can switch out some of the organic ingredients like the cucumber and don't use the skin .
