Immune Support Yellow Quinoa

Ingredients

1 cup dry quinoa

2 cups vegetable stock 

1 teaspoon Vegitude Power Spice Blend

Let it go to work on roasted veggies, scrambles, proteins, soups, dressings, seafood, and spreads. This is my specially formulated cancer protective blend — I chose each ingredient for its breast health benefits and synergistic properties (and for the flavor, of course!).

Quin-wow! Most of my patients have this one on autopilot when they need a quick and easy batch of a plant based protein to keep them fueled. With a beautiful yellow hue coming from the Vegitude Power spice blend which contains garlic, onion, turmeric, pepper and parsley, it's a delicious way to support your immune system. A huge plus—it's quicker and easier to cook than rice, a real win-win!

Directions

  1. Stir the quinoa, vegetable stock, and spice blend into a pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low.
  3. Let simmer 15-20 minutes, until all the broth has absorbed.
  4. Remove from heat and let sit 3 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Nutritional Highlights

  • Garlic and onion have both been linked to lower breast cancer risk — they have been shown to have biologically active compounds that may potentially inhibit carcinogens, protect cell DNA, and suppress tumor cell proliferation.
  • Turmeric’s key nutrient, called curcumin, may block cancer cell growth, kill tumor cells, and halt metastasis.
  • Black pepper may enhance the absorption of curcumin in turmeric by up to 2,000%.
  • Parsley is rich in apigenin, which is an antioxidant that may have anti-estrogenic properties. It also contains quercetin, which may also improve curcumin absorption.
  • All five of these spices also reduce inflammation.
