When it comes to spicing our food we tend to go for convenience. You know the drill… walk down the spice aisle of the grocery store, browse the Mrs. Dash options to see selections and hopefully hit the jackpot and try a new one that you haven't tried before…. Sound familiar???? Although we love Mrs. Dash and are thankful for the options they offer, we would like to take the time and focus on the benefit of fresh garlic. The nutritional value of fresh ingredients such as garlic, in this case have great health benefits that will enhance your flavoring in food while being a natural remedy to your body. Did you know the health benefits of fresh garlic include:
Better Blood Pressure
Lower Cholesterol
Reduced Risk of Heart Disease
Cold and Flu (better immunity)
Better Athletic Performance
Bone Strength
Improved Memory
Super Skin
With fresh garlic on our mind - we want to share a flavorful yet quick and easy marinade that will not only keep your meat juicy but will tenderize it at the same time.
Garlic Marinade
(great for chicken or steak)
4 chicken breasts or 4 beef filets
4-5 fresh garlic cloves (minced garlic)
Chipotle / Red Chile Powder (season as desired)
⅓ cup white vinegar
¼ fresh red onion thinly sliced (optional)
Rub meat with fresh garlic and add all additional other spices. Refrigerate for 6 hours up to overnight. Flip meat as desired for maximum marination benefits - then grill, bake or put it in your air fryer. DONE!
