A Health Coach is a supportive guide on the side who works with clients to help them feel their best through food and lifestyle changes. Instead of prescribing one diet or way of exercising, Health Coaches tailor individualized wellness programs to meet their clients' needs.

Relationships, exercise, career, and spirituality are just as important to your health as the food you eat. Health Coaches understand this and take a holistic approach to supporting the whole person.

Serves: 4


Ingredients: 

1 tablespoon unrefined coconut oil or butter 

2 garlic cloves, minced 

1/2 onion, diced

1 cup quinoa or brown basmati rice

2 cups chicken or vegetable stock or low sodium broth

1 lime, zested and juiced 

sea salt and pepper, to taste 


Directions: 

1. Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat.  Add the onion and garlic and cook 2-3 minutes.  Add the dry rice and cook an additional minute, stirring so the rice doesn't burn

3. Turn off the heat and stir in the cilantro, lime zest and juice.  Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.  Enjoy! 

Notes

This makes a yummy rice or quinoa! You can also vary it and make a batch of quinoa in a rice cooker or stovetop with water or veggie broth and just chop up some cilantro and squeeze a lime into it after it's done. ~Mandy
