21 Day Purification: Day 19

Day 19
Breakfast: Shake with 1/2 Banana, Peaches, Broccoli & Chia Seeds

Lunch: Nori Burritos with Red Pepper, Avocado, Watercress, Alfalfa Sprouts, Carrots, Daikon & Apple with Tamari* & Ginger for Dipping.  Tomato Saffron Soup.*
*Tamari is a naturally brewed wheat free soy sauce, found in the Asian section
*Recipe from "Clean Start"

Snack: Shake with 1/2 Banana, Peaches, Broccoli & Chia Seeds

Dinner: Pan Seared Tempeh,* Lentil Salad and a Romaine Salad with Cucumber, Alfalfa Sprouts & Carrots with Olive Oil & Vinegar.
*Tempeh is made from naturally cultured soybeans.  It can be found at Kroger in the refrigerated natural food section, or at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's in the meat alternative refrigerated section.  Tempeh is high in protein and fiber and the fermentation process makes it easily digestible.  Other fermented soy products besides tempeh include: tamari, natto and miso.  Unfermented soy products are dangerous for your health and should be avoided.  Most of the soy grown in the U.S. is genetically modified and by the time it shows up in our food, extremely processed.  Unfermented soy can negatively affect the thyroid, inhibit nutrient absorption, and alter estrogen levels.   Soy is found in a huge number of processed food products, so by avoiding processed foods, you will also be avoiding processed soy.

The best way that I have found to cook tempeh is to cut it into chunks or slices, and then steam for 8-10 minutes.  When cool, marinate for 15 min or up to 1 day.
Basic Marinade:
Olive Oil
Tamari
Mirin
Garlic
*Variations may include lemon juice, lime juice, maple syrup or Dijon mustard. 
The tempeh can then be baked or sauteed until lightly golden. 

Snack: Sweet Potato Fries
