Sugar Snap and Snow Pea Stir-Fry

Vegetarian Times

Cashews add crunch and protein to this colorful stir-fry. You also can make the dish with frozen sugar snap and snow peas. Just add to the mix, and stir-fry a little longer than you would fresh peas.

Ingredient List

Serves 4

1 Tbs. low-sodium soy sauce
1 Tbs. toasted sesame oil
2 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp chile-garlic sauce, such as sambal oelek, optional
1 Tbs. vegetable oil
1 medium red onion, halved, cut into wedges, and pulled apart (1 1/2 cups)
1 small yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced (1 1/2 cups)
1 cup raw unsalted cashews
1 Tbs. grated fresh ginger
8 oz. sugar snap peas
8 oz. snow pea pods
8 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions

1. Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, chile-garlic sauce (if using), and 1/2 cup water in small bowl. Set aside.

2. Heat vegetable oil in wok over high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, cashews, and ginger, and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes, or until onion and cashews begin to brown. Add snap peas, and stir-fry 1 minute. Add snow peas and green onions, and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes more. Add soy sauce mixture, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, or until sauce has thickened and vegetables are coated with sauce.

Swiss Alps ~ Fresh Herbs Juice by Jay & Linda Kordich
from the 10-Day Juice Cleanse Guide

makes 1 quart

2 very large Handful of Spinach
1 Medium Beet Root with its Greens
1 Large Handful of Fresh Basil
1 Medium Lime with skin
4 Large Swiss Chard Leaves
10-12 Ribs Celery

Start off with the beet and its greens, then flush through with celery, then add spinach and swiss chard, then add the fresh basil, then finish off with the lime. If you like, add one red delicious apple to this mix for a sweeter taste.

Personal Note: When using the fresh basil, you will smell the beauty of this royal herb, and the lime in these tonics really makes the greens stand out and also enhances the taste of this tonic. I am personally a huge fan of spinach, and use spinach as much as possible in our juices.

Benefits to the Body: This combination is good for the liver, nerves, bronchial tubes, phlegm.

Apple-Berry Smoothie Recipe
Incrediblesmoothies.com

by Tracy Russell

1 cup wild blueberries (frozen or fresh)
1 large organic apple
2 cups organic spinach or other leafy green
1 cup organic strawberries (fresh or frozen)
4 to 6 ounces filtered water

Add all the ingredients except for the spinach to your blender and hit the “pulse” button a few times. Next, add the rest of the spinach and blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy.

If apples are not in season, try making this recipe with peaches or nectarines (use one large or two medium). Of course, banana thickens and adds a nice texture as well.
