RECIPES!

When you're doing the Advocare Herbal Cleanse--you want to really be feeding your body properly to really get the results you need! You will find you cut your cravings and create new habits that will last way longer than the 10 day cleanse. Don't worry-- you're not going to get stuck sipping lemonade for 10 days..or eating a nasty soup...or starving yourself!

Actually---I'm eating more on the cleanse than I was just normal day to day!

So----lets get creative with some recipes! These were found on a GREAT facebook page called:
"Advocare Recipes"

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fajitas (cleanse friendly)
1/2 to 1 pound of chicken tenders (or 2 -3 chicken breast)
1 pkg of your favorite Taco Seasoning
1/2 t Cumin
1/2 t Coriander
Fresh Cilantro, rinsed and dried (add when assembling individual Fajitas) 
2 – 3 cloves minced garlic (more if you’re a garlic lover)
1 medium onion, halved then sliced med thick
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 zucchinis, halved then sliced thick
1 bell pepper (any color) sliced into thick strips
1/4 cup of *Tequila (opt. water or low fat/sodium chicken stock)
1/2 lime, juiced
2 jalapeño, seeds removed and sliced (leave some seeds if you like the heat)
Pepper flakes to your liking (if you don’t use the jalapeño seeds)
1 can of pinto beans drained and rinsed (use refried if you prefer)
1 pkg of Whole Wheat tortilla shells (Mission 96% Fat Free)
Cooking Spray 
*Fat Free Sour Cream 
Prep: slice each chicken tender into a pencil size strip (the chicken “fattens” up when cooked). Put into a large zip lock bag, sprinkle with 1/2 to full pkg of seasoning. Seal and “squish” the meat around to distribute the seasoning.
Instructions: Heat a large frying pan till hot, spray with cooking spray. Drop chicken in and stir; add hot pepper flakes, cumin and coriander. Cook till it’s a little more than half done (don’t overcook). Add garlic and stir. Add green peppers, onions, zucchini and mushrooms, stir and cook for 2 – 3 minutes: add jalapenos and rinsed pinto beans, lime juice and *Tequila. Gently stir the mix. Remove from heat
To heat Tortillas in the microwave: remove from package; wet hand and rub about every third tortilla with a bit of water. Place in a clean kitchen towel and microwave 45 – 60 seconds. 
Note: I firmly believe that a recipe is only a guideline and not written in stone. Eliminate anything you don’t have or don’t like; add things you like. Measurements are “rough” depending on how much chicken you use or how much seasoning you like. Enjoy!
*do not use if you’re on the 10 day cleanse. 

-------------------------------------------------
100% Whole Wheat Tortillas
Refried Beans
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
Burrito Seasoning
Jalepenos - Optional
Salsa - Optional

Cut Whole Wheat Tortillas with a pizza cutter in to chips. Bake at 350 til crisp (also good just a little chewy) Baked tortilla's are also a great snack by themselves.

Cook chicken with burrito seasoning. Heat up refried beans.
Take chip, add refried beans, chicken and a jalepeno.
I keep chips and chicken cooked so I can add beans to it and heat up in microwave when I really want a snack.

-------------------------------------------------
1 Can Black Beans
2 Cans Corn
1 Tub of Fresh Salsa
6-8 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Tenders or 3 -4 Boneless, Skinless Breasts

Drain black beans and corn, put in crockpot. Add 1/2 tub fresh salsa. Mix
Place boneless, skinless chicken breast (thawed) on top of mixture
Top with other 1/2 of Fresh Salsa.

Turn on low, will be ready by dinner. Break chicken up and mix. Serve over brown rice. Looks kinda funny, but tastes really good :)
