Healthy Hair + Healthy Eating = Healthy You!!!

Ok naturals, as I promised, this blog will be about more than just natural hair. After all, it is called Natural Hair, Body and Beauty right? So the topic of today will be healthy clean eating. As well all know, what you put into your body is just as important, if not more important, than what you do to the outside of your body. You can wear beautiful clothes, have natural hair, amazing makeup or natural beauty, but none of that would be possible without eating healthy and clean. In order for our natural hair to stay strong and beautiful we must take care of what's going on inside. But don't fear, eating healthy is fun and there are great food choices out there. I, for those of you who don't know, am a vegetarian. When most people hear that, they usually think I only eat salads! Well I assure you that my meal choices are amazing and very tasty! So here is one of my favorite meal choices as a vegetarian.
Couscous Salad Cups

Ingredients

2 cups organic vegetable broth (such as Swanson Certified Organic)

1 cup uncooked couscous

1 cup shredded carrot 

1/2 cup chopped green onions 

1/2 cup diced English cucumber

1/2 cup diced plum tomato 

1/2 cup Pomegranate-Orange Dressing

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

8 Boston lettuce leaves 

Preparation

Bring the broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork; cool.

Combine cooled couscous, carrot, and remaining ingredients except lettuce leaves in a large bowl; toss well to combine. Spoon about 2/3 cup couscous mixture into each lettuce leaf.

Happy Eating Naturals!
