Israeli Couscous is also known as **Pearl Couscous** or **Gourmet Pearl Couscous.** It consists of small balls of toasted semolina flour and is meant to be enjoyed like pasta or rice. An easy weeknight dinner, couscous is ready to eat in only 10 minutes!

The dressed salad keeps quite well in the fridge for about 2 days, but it’s best to serve fresh. 

If you want to make it in advance, keep arugula and dressing separate until just before serving. If you are not a big fan of arugula, you can replace it with spinach.

These muffins are packed with tons of healthy goodies and guilt-free to eat first thing in the morning!


They are a great source of fiber, promote good digestion, and have a significant amount of different vitamins and minerals. 

The amount of sugar was reduced from the original recipe to ¼ of the cup. You can also omit the
sugar completely or substitute it with Medjool dates. The butternut squash, apple, pineapple, and
cranberries will give satisfy your sweet tooth without the extra sugar. 

For this recipe, I used organic, freshly stone-ground all-purpose flour and organic oat flour. If you are avoiding gluten these days, you can experiment with just the oat flour or use the gluten-free mix to substitute the wheat flour. 

The muffins are very moist and can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days on the counter. They are also perfect to freeze for later. 


*Butternut squash contains a type of fiber that’s not digestible. If you have diabetes, it can help to keep your blood sugar from rising after eating. Butternut squash also has a low glycemic index, which means that its carbs are digested slower, which helps keep blood sugar from rising as well.*

The pineapple, in addition to the dietary fiber, has **bromelain**. It’s a type of enzyme that is promoted as a dietary supplement for reducing pain and swelling, especially in the nose and sinuses, gums, and other body parts.

These flavorful, healthy muffins are great to make ahead for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or to eat as a snack throughout the day.

These are! Only ¼ cup of the black lentil contains **54% of your daily fiber intake**. Black lentils also deliver **potassium, iron, magnesium, zinc**, and **folate**.

The hidden pureed black lentil in these burgers makes them not only nutritious but very flavorful and moist inside.

My husband loves granola bars. He's like a 29-year old with the appetite of a growing teenager and needs a lot of snacks between meals to sustain his high energy levels.

(He's also a massage therapist, like I am, so I understand the need for calories).

But buying granola bars every week can get pricey, especially if you opt for good quality ones without added preservatives and toxic hydrogenated oils. Not to mention the waste! Oh, so many wrappers...

**Fortunately, homemade granola bars are the easiest recipe. They are filling, nutrient-dense, and much healthier than most of what you can find in the store for a fraction of the price.**

This recipe includes a base that I use for all my granola bar recipes. The add-ins can be mixed up each time you make it, depending on what you have in your pantry and what your body needs that week.

On this blog, we're not usually big on long novel-like stories on our recipes... We like to keep it simple and to the point, so you can get cooking... 

I'm going to go into this one a bit more, though, since it is more versatile and you'll have to play with it a bit to find what works for you.

https://app.revivified.co/images/20220315_102505-copy.jpg

Honestly, I just eyeball these for measurements. I measured it the first few times to get the consistency right (if you don't have enough base, it can get crumbly) but as I got used to it, measuring felt like a waste of time.

- **Coconut oil.** About 1/3 cup. Full of good fatty acids that your body needs for things like improved cognitive function, metabolism, and hair and skin health.

- **Peanut butter.** About 2/3 cup. You can also sub almond butter or seed butter for a nut-free option.

- **Honey, date paste, brown rice syrup, maple syrup.** I use about 1/2 cup honey, or a little less with a drizzle of maple syrup. 

- **A pinch of pink Himalayan salt.** You could also use sea salt. I just have Himalayan salt so that's what I use on everything.

- **A dash of cinnamon.** Delicious, and loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols (3, 4, and 5).

**Put the above ingredients in a small saucepan and heat on low on the stove, stirring constantly until smooth.**

- **Organic, Sprouted Rolled Oats.** Any oats will do, but these are my favorite. You can do 2 cups of these with 1-1.5 cups of the next ingredient, or for a denser bar, use 3-3.5 cups of just oats.

- **Organic Rice Crisps.** 1-1.5 cups. They add a nice, lighter crunch. You can omit these and just use oats, too.

https://app.revivified.co/images/20220315_103402.jpg

This is the part where you can get creative. I just wing it every time, honestly. 

- **Nuts.** Walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pecans. The sky is your limit.

- **Seeds.** I always add superfood seeds like chia seeds and flax seeds. You can also do hemp hearts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc.

- **Dried fruit.** Dried cranberries or blueberries are great in these recipes. Also, shredded coconut is delicious.

- **Chocolate.** My husband says they're worthless without this ingredient, but I'll let you decide. Mix in Ghirardelli chocolate chips, throw some on top, or mix in a tablespoon of Cacao powder

*What else sounds good to you? Let me know in the comments below!*

Mix together in a bowl, press into a 9x9 pan, and let it set in the fridge. Ta-da, you've got granola bars!

Easy, homemade granola bars with healthy ingredients and no wrapper waste! A versatile recipe: Just follow the base and mix up the nuts, seeds, and other add-ins to make it your own.

I loved this Potato and Chickpea Curry recipe a lot. Thanks for sharing the post.

https://app.revivified.co/images/potato_curry2.jpeg

This fast and easy curry dish comes together with ingredients you most likely have on hand, like frozen peas, canned chickpeas, and tomatoes. It’s warming, comforting, delicious, and perfect for cold winter days.


While "curries" are often used in international Indian cuisine, the term generally means “sauce” and is used to describe a wide variety of dishes served in different kinds of sauces. 

Most of the time, these dishes do not contain curry powder. However, I used curry powder in this recipe to give this dish a deeper, earthier flavor with a rich golden hue, courtesy of turmeric.


Curry powder is a standard dried spice mixture made with a base of **turmeric, red pepper, cumin,** and **coriander,** often also incorporating **paprika, fennel seed, mustard, and more.**

https://app.revivified.co/images/potato_curry-copy.jpeg

Many store-bought curry powders are made with very old spices and have almost no flavor. It’s very easy to make your own homemade curry powder using whole spices. There are tons of simple recipes on the internet that you can find, but if you must buy a curry powder, use it while it’s still fresh or buy a small amount in the bulk section of your local co-op or natural health foods store.


If you are not a big fan of richly spiced food, you can omit the curry powder from this recipe and replace it with turmeric only or experiment with your own spices to make it more or less spicy.

This simple, vegetarian curry dish is made with a warming blend of spices and ingredients you likely have on hand. It's great for cold winter days and keeps well in the fridge for leftovers.

This vibrant salad is a real treat that brings a bit of brightness to gray winter days. 

The garnet red and tart flesh of the blood oranges, the crunchiness and aroma of the fennel, the mint, and the slight pudginess of the arugula will leave the most refreshing taste in your mouth.


Fennel has a licorice-like aroma, but the fresh bulb is light, bright, and mild. The taste is slightly
sweet with a hint of perfumy flavor, but its taste is delicate and not at all overpowering. '

In folklore, fennel is known as a **carminative**, meaning a food that helps prevent or relieve intestinal gas. The vegetable contains a high amount of a phytonutrient called **anethole**, a volatile oil that may work as an anti-spasmodic, inhibiting painful cramps that may occur during the digestive process.


Blood oranges are less acidic than regular oranges and are also unique in their nutritional value. Anthocyanin, the pigment that gives them their bright red color, has anti-inflammatory properties,
which could help reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. 

Use them while you can during the winter months. They are a great addition to everything from salad to cocktails to baking goods!

This winter salad is full of nutrients that are anti-inflammatory and that help with the digestive process. The refreshing taste will brighten even the grayest of winter days.

This all-natural coconut granola is loaded with **protein, plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, fiber,
antioxidants,** and tons of **micronutrients**. 

Coconut and coconut oil were chosen for this recipe not only to add a delicious taste but also because they help the body absorb fat-soluble
vitamins (A, E, D, and K), calcium, and magnesium. They also make digestion of Omega-3 fatty acids twice as effective.


Coconola makes a great dessert or breakfast when mixed with any type of yogurt and topped with
fresh fruit. It's also great on its own as a healthy snack in the middle of the day.


This recipe makes a good amount of Coconola. You can store it in an airtight container for up to 2-3
weeks. 

You can also share it with your friends and family. Load up a mason jar with Coconola, tie a ribbon around it, and gift someone with this healthy snack that everybody will love. Enjoy!

Loaded with protein, plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, antioxidants, and tons of other micronutrients, this gluten-free homemade granola can be a snack, breakfast, or healthy dessert.

**Quinoa has a myriad of health benefits and has become one of the world's most popular health foods.**

These herbs are very effective in boosting digestion: They stimulate the enzymes that facilitate better secretion of digestive juices, as well as decrease bloating and constipation. 


This dish is very versatile, filling, and high in everything your body needs. 


This versatile dish is rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and contains powerful digestive herbs that help decrease bloating and constipation. Keep it vegetarian or add a protein of your choice! It can also be cooked ahead of time to eat as lunch all week.
