When you think of summer foods, burgers, ice cream and apple pie come to mind. Not the highest paragons of health but OK in small amounts.
So how do you introduce more foods like quinoa, kale, goji berries, hemp seeds and exotic ingredients like camu and maqui powder into your diet? Check out these three new and recent cookbooks.
Kale: The Complete Guide to the Worlds Most Powerful Superfood (Sterling, $14.95): Just out last week is this softcover book by Stephanie Pedersen, a holistic health counselor and health writer. The book contains loads of ideas for incorporating the superstar leafy green into your diet.
There are more than 75 recipes for drinks, breakfast dishes, entrees, appetizers and, yes, desserts that contain kale in some form.
And lest you think this is some hold your nose and eat book of recipes, how about trying Kale-Bacon Quiche Cups, Pinto Bean Mole Chili, Caramelized Shallot-Kale-Prosciutto Sandwiches, Green Polenta, and Kaled-Up Chocolate Brownies.
In addition to the recipes theres information on the different varieties of kale, tips for growing your own kale and a laundry list of the beneficial nutrients found in kale.
Superfood Smoothies: 100 Delicious, Energizing & Nutrient-Dense Recipes (Sterling, $16.95): Julie Morris, a natural foods chef and author, has come up with 100 smoothie recipes that are loaded with superfoods, such as goji, leafy greens, fresh fruit, chia, nuts and seeds, and vegetable-based protein powder.
Be prepared to hit the natural foods stores for ingredients that you wont find in your regular grocery store foods such as camu powder, maca powder, white mulberries, sea buckthorn juice, maqui berry powder, lucuma powder, acai powder (there are lots of powders).
All these exotic ingredients are blended with produce and dairy-free milks or coconut water to produce vegan smoothies jammed with nutrients. Some of the more interesting smoothies include Mango Ginger, Caramelized Banana, Lucuma Lime, Strawberry Chamomile, Toasted Coconut & Macadamia, and Sesame Hemp.
And there are some pretty un-smoothie-like ingredients in some of the drinks. Cauliflower? Roasted beets? Broccoli? Brussels sprouts? Yep, theres a smoothie for that. One tip get yourself a really strong blender to pulverize all your ingredients. Garden-variety blenders just wont cut it. Were a big fan of the Ninja Mega Kitchen System because the motor is extra strong to power through all the vegetables, nuts and seeds.
Cooking With Quinoa for Dummies (Wiley, $19.99): This book has been out for a new months and its written by one of our favorite people, Biggest Loser nutritionist and chef Cheryl Forberg. A fat reduction review can help you construct a clear summarize of what you demand to focus on to accomplish your fat reducing goal if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an advanced or more improve step of their losing weight strategy. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as suggestions for your personal weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss programs have misled people into wondering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss programs only work by leading to a person's body to burn more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. She has developed more than 140 recipes that include the supergrain quinoa, which is growing in popularity since its gluten free. Its technically not a grain its a seed and Forberg explains that in the book, which goes into the history of quinoa, its nutrition profile, how to incorporate it into global cuisines, how to cook and store it, its different varieties, and how to use it in place of other grains.
Forberg provides quinoa recipes for every meal and snack of the day. You can snack on PBJ Granola Bars, Feta Confetti Dip, Crispy Quinoa Cheese Crax, and Black Quinoa Artichoke Hummus.
Breakfast can include dishes such as Quinoa Breakfast Bars, Quinola, Vegetable Frittata With Quinoa and Goat Cheese, and Crazy Apple Quinoa Crunch.
