Chicken Stir Fry

Ingredients:

3 cups broccoli florets

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch strips

1/4 cup sliced green onions

4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon chile paste

1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1/8 cup chicken stock

Directions:

1. Place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 5 minutes.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the chicken, green onions, and garlic until the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
3. Stir the hoisin sauce, chile paste, and soy sauce into the skillet. Season with ginger, red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the chicken stock and simmer about 2 minutes. Mix in the steamed broccoli until coated with the sauce mixture.

Sauteed Vegetables

Ingredients:

3 banana squash, halved then sliced

2 zucchinis, halved lengthwise, then sliced

1-8oz bag peeled baby carrots

1/4 lb green beans

1 TBSP garlic, crushed and minced

1 TBSP olive oil

1 tsp salt, to taste

1/4 tsp black pepper, ground

Directions:

1. On the stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, garlic, carrots, and green beans. Stir. These take longer to cook. Cover and cook roughly 3 minutes. Shake skillet every so often. Do not uncover during this time because we want to sweat and steam the veggies in their own moisture.
2. Uncover. Add zucchini, squash, salt and pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly. Cover for 2 minutes. Uncover and stir. Cook uncovered another 3 minutes. Turn off heat.
3. Serve sauteed vegetables hot. Enjoy!

Kwiw-Apple-Avocado Smoothie

Ingredients:

1 large organic apple, cored
1 large kiwi, peeled
1/2 a large avocado, peeled and pitted
6 to 8 ounces of filtered water

Directions:
Add all the ingredients except for the greens to your blender and hit the “pulse” button a few times. Next, add the rest of the greens and blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy. Because the avocado makes the smoothie thick, you might want to add a little more water. Start with 6 ounces and add as needed.
