Clean Eat Recipe: Spicy Citrus Quinoa Salad

We've made quite a few things off of the Whole Foods Market app (that contains recipes) and we've never been disappointed. All of the dishes we've tried have been very flavorful and easy to make. This one is no different but I'll be honest with you...I told Scott that I would not be eating this and that it sounded disgusting. I was wrong and I found myself sneaking spoonfuls all throughout the process of making it! This Clean Eating Spicy Citrus Quinoa Salad has the perfect hint of sweet and spicy and is the perfect side dish for your meal and great for parties!

Spicy Citrus Quinoa Salad

Adapted from Whole Foods Market Quinoa Salad with Roasted Jalapeños recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups quinoa
• 1-2 jalapeños, seeded and chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 small bunch red grapes (1-2 cups), halved
• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

Directions:

1. Prepare quinoa as instructed on package.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Chop jalapeños and green pepper and toss with 1/2-1 Tbsp coconut oil and salt. Place on baking sheet and roast until slightly softened and black (approx 20 min).
3. Once quinoa is cooked set aside to cool.
4. Once cooled add all remaining ingredients and toss to combine.

Enjoy!

Healthy, Protein-Packed Hot Chocolate

We had a cold snap here in Georgia where all I wanted was hot chocolate. I'm pretty picky about hot chocolate too so it took me quite a few tries to get this one to where I would "approve" but I definitely think I hit the nail on the head, if I can say so myself! This will warm you up and also provide you with the protein you need. It's perfect as a "snack" during the day, maybe after breakfast or even right before bed while you are relaxing! You can't go wrong with this one! Try it and let us know what you think!

HEALTHY, PROTEIN-PACKED HOT CHOCOLATE

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1 tsp cocoa powder
• 2 small scoops stevia
• 1/4 cup liquid egg whites
• 1 packet TLS vanilla whey protein powder {If you are interested in ordering this product email us at thegang@heandsheeatclean.com and we can also send you a free Shake & Bake Recipe eBook!}

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients, excluding almond milk. Blend together using a hand blender. You can use a regular blender but because there isn't much liquid it will be more difficult so I suggest a hand blender/frother or even combining by hand mixing.

2 Heat almond milk over medium heat until it starts boiling (Be careful as it will overflow quickly!)

3. Add hot almond milk to blended ingredients and stir to combine

Enjoy!
