The Real Life Cooking Strategy Guide Blog: Ancient Incan Empire; Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Breakfast
Banana Honey Nut Super Smoothie
Preparation Time: About 15 minutes
No marinating needed.
This is a modern version of a combination of foods enjoyed by some of the tribes of the Incan Empire.

Ingredient and Shopping List:
1 cup mixed nuts roasted or raw, (roasted for more flavor, raw for more nutrition)
2 Brazil nuts (If you can't fine them sold separately, you can find them in the mixed nuts.)
1 cup milk yogurt, soy yogurt, whey protein shake, myoplex shake, goats milk, or milk (Myoplex or whey for more protein for the brain; or yogurt for boosting immune system).
2 cups of frozen bananas
¼ ripe avocado
1 tablespoon honey (raw honey for more nutrition; not available at Wal-mart; try health food store)
2 tablespoons of flax seed meal for convenience; optional since not available at Wal-mart (or freshly ground flax seed for more nutrition, or chia seeds. Chia seeds not available at Wal-mart; available online)
½ teaspoon of cinnamon

Cut the bananas in halves or quarters. Put all of the ingredients into the blender and blend for about 2-3 minutes. If you don't have frozen banana you can add regular bananas plus a cup of ice.

Drink.

The brain foods in this meal are Brazil nuts, avocados, flax seeds (or chia seeds), and yogurt.

Caution: The Brazil nut has more selenium than any other food, so eating too many Brazil nuts can cause an overdose of selenium aka selenium toxicity. You should have only one blender full of these shakes per day to avoid selenium toxicity. The brains loves selenium and hordes it like it was gold. No one yet knows why. The more nutrition version of this shake is super food for the brain; can be used for unavoidable all night study sessions.

Note: to use Myoplex or whey protein, don't put in one cup of powder, put in one cup of water and one scoop of powder.

Note: ½ cup of nuts if you are on a tight budget.

Lunch
Cacao Drink or Chocolate Milk
Burrito with Cranberry Avocado Salsa
Preparation Time: About 5 minutes
No marinating required.

A burrito is the Latin American version of the sandwich. It mean little donkey, little pack horse, or little burro. Avocados and cranberries are brain super foods.

Ingredients and Shopping List:
1 Fresh or Frozen Burrito
½ cup of Cranberry Sauce
1 avocado
Tabasco Sauce or hot sauce to taste.
1 can of Cacao Drink or 1 Carton of Chocolate Milk (Cacao is only available at some health food stores).

Equipment

Microwave
Paper towels or wax paper to cover microwaving food

Open the cranberry sauce and cut the avocado in half. Smash the ½ cup of cranberry sauce and avocado together until its all mixed up together. Add Tabasco sauce or hot sauce. Spread the sauce over the burrito. Cover with paper towel or wax paper. Microwave for about 3.5 minutes until warm enough to eat.

You can drink water with this meal.

Eat.

The brain foods in this meal are avocados, cranberries, and lean meat.

Note: Its healthier to buy whole wheat burritos than white flour burritos, but you won't find those at Wal-mart.

Note: Canned cranberry sauce and chocolate milk both contain sugar. Stevia is healthier than sugar, but most canned foods in America are not yet available made with stevia.

Note: You can make your own burrito from tortilla shells and burrito stuffing if you know how. You can learn how to make a burrito by watching the burrito maker very carefully at Chipotle restaurant, when they are making the burritos ordered there. If you are cooking raw meat you may always marinate if you choose. Its healthier for the brain, immune system, and intestines.

Dinner
Imitation Chica Morada
Ceviche
Corn on the Cob with Goat Cheese
Ice Cream with Fruit
Preparation Time: About 10 minutes.
Marinating Required and Essential; should be done 4 hours before eating.
Cerviche is believed to be a Moor raw fish recipe that was brought to the Incan Empire after their defeat by the Conquistadors. It is now a very popular Latin American recipe.

We are using cooked tuna becuase raw fish recipes should only be prepared by experienced chefs due to the ease of getting food poisoning from making mistakes while preparing raw fish recipes.
