Healthy recipes to help maintain healthy eating habits after finishing the Master Cleanse

[Emha]

Today Lydia shared with us a Quinoa Salad recipe that she made after finishing her Cleanse. As I'm about to finish mine in a few days I thought it might be a good idea to start this 'discussion' in which I would like people to share their healthy recipes. I'm looking forward to all the yammie entries here!!!

I will try this recipe I found online soon... (the link has the measurements! http://www.quinoa-recipes.com/Quinoa_Pages/Quinoa_Turkey_Meat_Loaf....)

Quinoa Turkey Meatloaf Recipe
Turkey meatloaf is already healthier than using ground beef. But turkey meatloaf is incredibly healthy when it's mixed with Quinoa which adds even more protein. Quinoa makes all the protein more easily processed by the body.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Ground Turkey (I prefer Shadybrook Farms)
Eggs (Large)
Hot sauce
Worcestershire Sauce (I use Lea and Perrins)
Adobo Seasoning (Scroll down for picture)
Vidalia Onion - Diced
Olive Oil
Quinoa (I use Ancient Harvest)
Water

1.Cooked Quinoa
You know it's cooked when the spiral tail appears. It's that little tail that stays crunchy giving quinoa turkey meatloaf a unique and fantastic texture. Put the Quinoa and Water in a saucepan. Bring to boil and cook for about ten minutes. See the picture on the right to find out how you can tell when quinoa is cooked.

2. Put the ground turkey and all other ingredients except the quinoa into a large bowl.

3. Mix thoroughly.

4. Place the Quinoa in the bowl and mix it in. You gotta say it. DON'T BURN YOURSELF. Be sure the Quinoa has cooled off.

5. Place mixture in appropriate size baking dish. Sprinkle some parsley flakes over the top to add some color.

6. It's difficult to say precisely how long to bake your meatloaf since it depends on the dish you're using, your ovens characteristics, etc. I bake the 3 lb. meatloaf, covered, for 1½ hours and then check to see if it's done. If it's a shallow baking dish you might want to start to check it after about an hour. You want it to be done but don't overcook it. You want it to be moist.

7. Remove from oven and let stand for about twenty minutes.

Dr. Oz Green Drink Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 lemon 1/2 cup parsley,
• chopped 1 rib of celery
• 2 big handfuls of Spinach
• 1 pince of peeled ginger
• 1 medium cucumber
• 2 apples preferred amount of ice cubes (which is of course, optional)
This serves 1-2 people.

In a juicer, put all the ingredients except the ice cubes in a juicer until done. Serve in your favorite martini glass, or whatever you want! Add the optional ice cubes at this point now that it's finished.
Ofcourse, you can adjust these ingredients to your own taste. Maybe you really like the cucumber taste. Excellent! Add a few more cucumbers instead.
When you start making green juice, I recommend a few more apples than usual until you get used to the taste. There is no absolute requirement to start out with something that tastes like mud. Start with something with a fruit/sweet taste. After that, if you want you can add a few more vegetables and less of those fruit. That's the reason why green smoothies are popular - they are most of the time 60% or more of fruit, and 40% or less of vegetables.
The dark green color is a great indication that you have more than enough greens in the juice. As long as it's green, you will know that you're getting the excellent alkaline benefits of greens.

Variation of Ingredients
• 2 apples
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 2 cups spinach
• 2 cups cucumber
• 1 head of celery
• 1 bunch parsley
• 1/2 inch or teaspoon ginger root
• Juice of 1 lime
Servings: 3 - 4
This is another variation of the green drink, I suggest trying out both and messing around with the amounts of the ingredients, according to your taste.
