Is the quinoa allowed for people who are doing the cleanse?
Yes.
what is the quinoa serving for 1 person?
1/2 cup uncooked to start or 1 cup cooked.
At the top of the recipe it says that it serves 4 but then at the end it says serves 2. Just wondering which it is.
Jeanette,
I've updated the recipe and it serves 4. Thanks! 🙂
What is a good alternative to quinoa as it upsets my tummy for some reason?
A warm, Cooked and cooled wild rice or cous cous.
Could you please let me know what sprouts you mean…. Alfalfa? Bean?
Faithy Cakes, We mean Alfalfa sprouts but bean sprouts will work as well.
For the 4 ounces quinoa – what meal or snack does this go with or in place of as I know it is optional.
Kimmiek1967, The Green Bean and Zucchini Salad can be eaten on its own or over a bed of quinoa for added protein.
I hate green beans, is there a substitute?
Alyssa, Snow peas or sugar snap peas would be a great alternative.
What would be a good substitute for the sprouts?
Carey Hass, You can just omit the sprouts entirely and have the salad without it, or substitute them with
basically any vegetable, such as cucumbers.
Does the calorie count per serving include the 1/2 cup cooked quinoa and the bean/zucchini mix?
No, the calorie count is for the green bean and zucchini salad only.
You show this as 6 smart points – is that including the quinoa? it isn’t included in the recipe but mentioned that the salad can be served on a bed of it.
The nutritional data is for the green bean and zucchini salad only. The quinoa will be extra.
Can I use powdered ginger instead of fresh ginger root? And if so, how much?
Valerie, Sure that will work. I would use 1/2 teaspoon and more to taste. 🙂
I can’t get the nutritional data to add up.. if it is 207kcal per serving without quinoa then the whole zucchini salad would be over 600kcal. It seems for correct that 207 is for the whole recipe and not per serving?
We’re happy you enjoyed the recipe. ? We apologize that our nutritional data was way off; it’s been corrected now. Thank you for calling it to our attention.
Can you substitute any fruit as a snack? Can you drink unsweetened plant based milk on the cleanse?
Mala, Yes and Yes.
We’ll soon have a recipe for plant-based milk and coffee creamer. 🙂
Can u sub. Bean sprouts for radishes? If so how many?
Ida, Bean Sprouts will work too. About 1/2 cup or to taste should be fine.
