Since I have been on my detox/cleanse eating, Iâve been preparing some delicious and easy dishes to make. I would have to say that this is my 3rd week already, and I am just loving it! I have felt a different and good feeling about my overall digestive health. Iâm not as bloated and it truly is easier for my body to digest the things I ate.
If you would like to give this recipe a try, and if your body likes avocados as much as mine does, I know you will fall in love with this dish! You can make a large patch and keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of days.Â
I remember when I was making this dish, I couldnât wait to get it done so I could eat it! Try it and let me know what you think! I had bought the Quinoa Pasta from Costco awhile back.Â
Luckily I still have a little bit left to make this dish. If you do not have any Quinoa Pasta, no worries! You can use regular Quinoa grains to make this dish and it would be very tasty. Thatâs whatâs so great about cooking and that is, you get to be creative in the foods you want to eat. As long as you know the basic sauce, everything else is easy to make.
I love to share my food experience with you guys because I want to give you ideas on how to become healthier, if that is something you want to do, or simply because it tastes so delicious that I simply want to share it with you all! Thank you for supporting me! Love you guys!
