Amaranth Cereal

Amaranth
Amaranth looks very similar to quinoa and was an Aztec dietary staple so it is classified as an ancient grain.  Like quinoa, it is actually a seed. 
Amaranth is also gluten free, so if you are looking to eliminate wheat and gluten products you might want to give Amaranth a second look.  It contains an appreciable amount of protein around 26 grams per cup.

Beauty Bowl

beauty bowl

This is a crazy good way to start the day. For an antioxidant filled breakfast this morning, I pulled a recipe from my 14 Day Eat Real Food Cleanse.
This is called the Beauty Bowl and I had it with 2 hard boiled eggs.

It was very satisfying and filling, and the taste is like sunshine in a bowl.
