Clean Eating Recipe Challenge!
We at Total Body Results believe that eating “Clean” is absolutely essential in attaining and maintaining a healthy body and healthy lifestyle. You may have heard us rave about Tosca Reno’s “Eat Clean Diet” – a book that discusses the “what, why, and how” of eating clean and we know many of you have jumped on this healthy lifestyle change with us.
Eating Clean is a very simple concept of eliminating prepackaged and highly processed foods/ingredients from your daily diet, along with eating fresh fruits and veggies, complex carbs, and lean proteins in 5-6 small meals per day.
Now, we are challenging YOU to give us your best clean eating recipe! Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, tell us how to make a delicious dish WITHOUT chemicals, preservatives, and other highly processed ingredients. The participant with the best recipe will win one free Beach Boot Camp or Personal Training Session!
Please submit your entry by March 27th

2 cups of Quinoa, rinsed
4 cups water
1 red pepper, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 cucumber, seeded and chopped
1 can chick peas, rinsed
1 lemon, peel finely chopped and juice saved
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup raisins
½ cup cilantro, chopped
½ cup chives, chopped
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

- Boil the quinoa in water for 15 minutes, until tiny white spirals appear on the grains of quinoa. Drain and let cool.
- Stir in extra virgin olive oil
- Add the fresh-squeezed lemon juice and chopped lemon peel
