Butternut Squash Kale Salad

INGREDIENTS

  1. 1 large butternut squash (about 3 pounds), peeled cut into 3/4" cubes

    1. 1/2 cup, plus 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

    2. pinch of himalayan sea salt

    3. add 1/4 cup of figs

    4. handful of pecans

    5. Freshly ground black pepper

    6. 1 tsp crushed garlic

    7. 1/4 cup cherry tomatos

    8. 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)

    9. 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup

    10. 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

    11. 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot

    12. 1 1/2 pounds Tuscan kale (about 2 large bunches), stemmed, leaves thinly sliced

    13. 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (optional) (1 1/2 ounces)

    14. 1 cup pomegranate seeds (from 1 large pomegranate)

PREPARATION

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss together squash, 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Place whole head of garlic on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tsp. oil, wrap securely in foil and place on baking sheet with squash. Roast, stirring squash occasionally after the first 15 minutes, until squash is golden and tender and garlic is tender, 35–40 minutes. Remove garlic and squash from oven and set aside to cool.

    1. Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp. oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add hemp seeds and cook, stirring occasionally, until about half are golden brown, 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with 1/4 tsp. salt. Set aside.

    2. Cut off the top of the garlic head and squeeze all of the softened garlic into a medium bowl. Whisk in the lemon juice, maple syrup, mustard, shallot, 1 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper, then whisk in oil in a slow, steady stream.

    3. In a large mixing bowl, combine kale with about 3/4 of the dressing, and use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale. Add more dressing as needed (you may not need all of it). Reserve any leftover dressing for another use.

    4. Add roasted squash, Parmesan (optional), and pomegranate seeds to bowl; toss together to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl, and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.

Vegan Mac & Cheese

Had a blast sharing recipes at Williams Sonoma Beverly Hills this past weekend. Here is my YUMMY Mac and Cheese recipe I made with the Nutramilk.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup roasted salted cashews ( you can also buy these pre soaked)

  • 1 medium peeled carrot, 1/2 potato, 1/2 onion steamed

  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

  • 1 tsp white or cider vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon juice

  • 1/2 cup veggie broth

  • optional 2 tsp earth balance or coconut oil

  • 1 tsp pink sea salt

  • 1/4 tsp onion powder

  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

  • 3 servings pasta of choice, or you can put the sauce over veggies or use it as a dipping sauce

http://thenutramilk.com/

For the recipe I am using this beautiful and easy to use machine I’ve discovered called the Nutramilk, it makes fresh nut milks, nut butters, and even sauces like the one I’m sharing with you

Instructions

Completely cover the nuts in a bowl with water. Let soak anywhere from 2-6 hours, or refrigerate and soak overnight. Drain fully. Combine all ingredients (including 1/2 cup water, but not including the optional cheese-style shreds), and blend in a Nutramilk until completely smooth. Transfer to a small pot and heat to your desired temperature, stirring optional cheese shreds in at the end. Taste, and add extra seasonings (onion, salt, nutmeg, pepper) if desired – I like to add another 1/2 tsp salt and a pinch more cayenne. Serve over cooked pasta, rice, veggies, etc. I used quinoa and brown rice pasta for this time! Topped off with also some fried onions and green onions

Whisk together the coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add in the eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla. Stir well to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  2. Divide the batter equally into the muffin cups. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the tin and cool completely before adding the frosting.

  • 1/8 tsp Himalayan Pink Sea Salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350F.

  2. With a large stand-up or hand-held mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs and pumpkin puree on high until doubled in size. Add the coconut oil and vanilla stevia and beat until incorporated.

  3. Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl with a metal wire whisk making sure to break up and clumps of almond flour. You can also sift the almond flour through a fine mesh strainer or tami before adding it to the rest of the dry ingredients.

  4. Turn the mixer on low and slow add in the dry ingredients stopping occasionally to wipe down the sides with a silicone spatula. Once all the dry ingredients are in, turn the mixer to medium and whisk until just incorporated. Do NOT over beat! Once all the dry ingredients are incorporated stop mixing.

  5. Grease a baking sheet tray with coconut oil or use non-stick baking pad.

  6. Bake them for 8 min if you want moist, soft cookies or 10-12 minutes for crispier ones.

STEVIA GUMMY BEARS

stevia gummy bears

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

  • 3 Tbsp grass fed gelatin

  • liquid stevia 30 drops

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Whisk all ingredients in a small sauce pan.

  2. Heat over low heat until mixture loses its "applesauce" consistency and starts to liquify.

  3. Pour into molds. (I like to transfer the mixture to an easy-pour container first to avoid spills, especially if you have small molds!)

  4. Allow gummies to set. You can either do this by placing molds on a flat surface in the freezer, fridge or on the counter. The freezer is your quickest option and will take about 10-15 minutes to set.

  5. Remove from molds and store in the fridge in an air tight container. These will last about two weeks, although the texture becomes firmer over time, they are still delicious!

How to Meal Prep 

MEAL PREP 101: Abs are made in the kitchen, yes you could be working out, but if your diet is not up to par, by all means you will not see the result you wish to see. Some people thinks meal prep is confusion and a lot of work, but I will help break it down and make it super simple for you. Today on DailyBurn I shared my #KitchenHustle Meal Prep Hacks. Meal prep is fun, and you can play with so many different varieties. Have fun with it and make it your own.

Daily Burn Charles Chen

PROTEIN: 

  • Wild Salmon ( Pan Sear with Coconut Oil)
  • Mushroom Steak ( Baked & Marinated Overnight for Flavor)
  • Organic Chicken ( Grilled or Boiled)
  • Grilled Tofu ( Marinated for Extra Flavor)
  • Organic Hardboiled Eggs
How to Meal Prep

VEGETABLES:

I like to roast my vegetable in a all in one baking sheet. I toss all my precut veggies on to the pan with olive oil, salt and pepper. If you want to get fancy you can bring aromatics by adding fresh thyme & rosemary ( trust me it'll smell like heaven in your kitchen). You may also prep a large salad, kale & cabbage tends to last longer when prepping for the week.  

Daily Burn Charles Chen

COMPLEX CARBS:

  • Quinoa 
  • Brown Rice 
  • Spiralized Butternut Squash
  • Baked Sweet Potatoes 
  • Cauliflower Rice
Meal Prep Ideas

HEALTHY FATS:

  • Coconut Oil 
  • Avocados 
  • Ghee
  • Grape Seed Oil 
  • Cold Pressed Olive Oil
Before After Charles Chen

SEASONING:  To watch our sodium intake I like to use fresh herbs, citrus ( lemon or lime, apple cider vinegar),  Nutritional yeast, kelp, fermented vegetables, miso, coconut aminos, liquid aminos to season.

SAUCES:

TIPS:

  1. Find a day preferably sunday to meal prep 
  2. Buy in bulk ( safe money) 
  3. Roast your veggies all in one 
  4. Keep your sauces separate from meals to prevent them from going bad 
  5. Add citrus to keep fresh, add toppings to add crunch factor ( hemp seeds, coconut, parmesan cheese, sesame seeds, almonds)

How I Helped Joy Lose 100 Pounds

how to lose weight

 

CLIENT NEWS‼️ My client Joy Fennell transformed her life After I transformed my own life and lost 100 pounds, I truly felt like I received a second chance at life. I gained clarity and promised myself I would dedicate my life to helping others. I knew I wanted to pay it forward and help others be the best version of themselves. Whether that was through recipes, motivation, I knew sharing my rock bottom could help heal others. Some people would be ashamed of it, but I realized how powerful it was to shine light on our darkness. Our healing begins when we share what makes us most vulnerable. I broke through my fear and began touring the country and speaking at different expos, festivals, schools, non-profits organizations, Whole Foods Market, appearing on national tv, anywhere that would give me the opportunity to share. Through my speaking engagements I have had the privilege of meeting so many kindred spirits, I also got to meet people who are on similar paths towards personal health transformations. I remember meeting Joy Fennell two years ago after a talk I gave in NYC, Joy shared with me that she was at her bottom and needed some guidance and coaching. I agreed to personally coach her with one exception, that we be able to share her transformation with the world. Joy agreed and we began a process of personal transformation one step at a time. I knew Joy was ready to change by her willingness to do whatever it took to heal herself from Rheumatoid Arthritis. We began not only transforming the foods she ate, but created new relationships with food and most importantly herself. We began with daily affirmations, mindfulness exercises and slowly incorporating physical activity. I am proud to witness Joy's transformation, it’s not about the number on the scale, but truly how at peace and happy Joy is. Joy is radiating happiness, and I am so happy to see her shining bright. Now it’s her turn to pay it forward! Tag a friend who can use this inspiration! Send Joy Fennell some LOVE!
