Quinoa Pudding with strawberries, pomegranate and pistachios
Today’s Beauty Eats recipe is a layered quinoa pudding with strawberries, a pomegranate-cardamom reduction and a generous sprinkle of pistachios. How’s that for a healthy Valentine’s treat?
……………………………………………………
I’ve had a bag of pistachios and a bottle of pomegranate juice sitting in my kitchen for quite some time, but it wasn’t until Connie (from Chronicles of a Beauty Nerd) gave me some inspiration that I came up with this pudding. It’s a scrumptious way to start your morning, especially if you’re like me and need a little sweetness to start your day. Or it can be a great accompaniment to a healthy dinner. You pick!
Beauty Eats- Berry-banana smoothie with goji berries
There’s nothing better than a delicious smoothie to start the day. It’s quick, easy and chock full of nutrition if you choose the right ingredients. I usually have a strawberry-banana smoothie on the days I don’t have time to really sit down and eat. Isn’t it so much easier just to drink your breakfast when you’re struggling to make it out the door in time? The problem with smoothies is that they can get a little boring after a while. So to keep things fresh and interesting, why not try some unusual ingredients?
Slicing strawberries made easy…
Who doesn’t love eating strawberries? They’re sweet with a little hint of sour which makes them perfect for dessert and even salads. I could eat them all day! I enjoy eating them whole (that’s because my knife skills need a lot of work), but sometimes you just need to slice them to make them easier to eat. For most people, slicing is a breeze. But, for people like me, it was a chore until now. I found this nifty gadget that makes slicing quick and easy!

This new series called “Beauty Eats” will explore foods rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and probiotics that will leave you with a healthy radiance that is bound to get some attention!
My friend Connie and I came up with the idea of writing a series on “Beauty Eats” recently. She has an absolutely gorgeous blog (www.thebeautynerd.com) which has great tidbits about beauty things and inspirations. Her approach to beauty is to start from within with a healthy diet. I couldn’t agree more! In the first of the series, we will start with a great breakfast item that’s both pretty to look at and will get your skin glowing!
