Lightlife Organic Tempeh in Coconut Aminos | Easy 14-Minute Recipe Lectin Gluten Free Quick EASY

Lightlife Organic Tempeh in Coconut Aminos | Easy 14-Minute Recipe 🌿 This easy Lightlife Original Organic Tempeh recipe with coconut aminos is flavorful, plant-based, gluten-free, and ready in only 14 minutes! TEMPEH IN COCONUT AMINOS 🌿 Ingredients • 1 package Lightlife Original Organic Tempeh (8 oz) • ¾ cup filtered water • 4 tablespoons coconut aminos • 1 tablespoon olive oil • 1 tablespoon garlic powder • ⅓ teaspoon black pepper • ⅓ teaspoon red chili flakes • 1 tablespoon dried oregano • ⅓ teaspoon iodized sea salt, or to taste • ½ cup chopped fresh organic dill (optional) How to prepare Cut the tempeh into small, bite-sized cubes. Place it in a small saucepan with the filtered water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 6–8 minutes. This softens the tempeh and helps reduce its naturally bitter flavor. Drain well. Add the coconut aminos and olive oil to a skillet, followed by the tempeh. Season with garlic powder, black pepper, red chili flakes, oregano, dill, and salt. Stir until every piece is evenly coated. Cook over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warm, flavorful, and lightly caramelized. Serve with your favorite slightly cooked cruciferous vegetables—that’s how I love to enjoy it! πŸ₯¦ Why enjoy tempeh? ✨ Complete plant protein with all nine essential amino acids ✨ High in fiber to support healthy digestion ✨ Provides essential minerals and B vitamins ✨ Fermentation may make it easier to digest than unfermented soy products Subscribe to Optimize With Manana for quick, healthy, gluten-free, sugar-free, and lectin-conscious recipes made with simple ingredients.

Deep Calm Digestive Tea for Bloating, Stress & Heavy Stomach | Chamomile, Clove & Peppermint #tea

Clove Chamomile Peppermint Tea Calming DIGESTIVE TEA 🍡🌿 This tea gently supports both the gut and the nervous system at the same time. Why this blend works so beautifully: • Cloves – naturally antibacterial, rich in powerful antioxidant and highest in polyphenols (especially eugenol) that help reduce gas, bloating, and support digestive balance. • Chamomile – calms the body through the nervous system, and eases stress-related digestion. • Peppermint – relieves bloating, reduces spasms in the digestive tract, and helps food move comfortably through. Together, these herbs create a cup full of soothing polyphenols that support digestion, relaxation, and gut comfort. Since I came up with this idea - recipe - I’ve been drinking this daily for the past two weeks and truly don’t leave home without it. I take it to work because of how calm, light, and amazing I feel after. ⸻ How to make it Ingredients: 8–10 organic cloves 1/2 tablespoon organic chamomile flowers (loose) 1/2 tablespoon organic peppermint leaves (loose) 1 cup boiled, filtered water Place all herbs into a tea press or tea maker. Pour hot water over. Press down and let steep for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy. #GutHealth #DigestiveSupport #HerbalTea #tea #healing
