Making soup in a blender

 In the blender we put water, cashews, purple cabbage, red peppers, zucchini, onions, sweet potato, carrots, and spices. Wow it was gourmet! The best soup I have ever tasted! Soup in seconds!

 The salads had arugula, and organic greens with cucumbers, tomatoes, avocados, zucchini, shredded raw cheese and salmon on the side with flax seed crackers. Homemade dressing made with coconut vinegar, olive oil, soup base, cumin, ginger, tumeric, cayanne pepper.

Last night for dinner we had the most incredible soup and salads! If you have a good blender( I recommend blendtech) you can fill it with vegetables and goodies and blend away until thick and creamy like soup and the blender will actually heat it for you. It pours out steaming! How cool is that for a fast dinner. I will be putting up some videos soon on how to make fast healthy meals, since we all have crazy schedules!

Prevention for Illness

There are many things that we can do for prevention from getting sick. The phrase " you live to eat" should actually be " you eat to live!" You are what you eat! The change might not be over night but you can start with adding more greens to your diet and checking your PH with PH strips to make sure you are not too acidic. Your body will start craving good food. I noticed this that when I cut out sugar and had a green smoothie a day that if I hadn't had my greens for the day I would crave it like a candybar! Crazy! Your body will be running on all cylinders and can fight off bacteria and infection much easier. So start today!

Funny Food For Thought:

I was just thinking today how funny it is that when I think about the junk foods I used to eat, I now don't even crave them because I know how processed and modified all those foods are. Not to mention what they do to your body and overall health. I guess sometimes it takes getting sick to change your way of thinking and open your eyes. At least for me this was the case. I thought I ate good, but little did I know! Now I know there are lots of yummy foods that are healthy and an array of spices and flavors. Eating more of a raw diet doesn't mean all you can eat is salads. Through learning how to make new things when I was forced to make a change, now I have a passion for good food and to encourage people they can do it too!

Hello friends! Thanks for coming to my blog!

Your body is a temple! Don't poison it! Eat raw alkaline and superfoods. Eat organic, fresh, raw unprocessed,-grass-fed meats. Try to get your food at your local farmers market(organic certified). No pesticides- grass fed beef is best! Starting in October I will be ordering meat and other great foods from a Beyond Organic, a new company by Gordan Rubin that is going to provide the purest foods on the planet! For more information you can visit my page called Beyond Organic.

Try to eat no refined sugars, flours, or vegan junk food. There are now so many gluten free alternatives, but be careful and read the labels! Read sugar content, trans fats, chemicals, and artificial sweeteners, MSG, ect. There are so many great sugar substitutes that I have found taste even better! Coconut crystals are a great sugar replacement when baking and coconut syrup, coconut butter,  agave nectar, raw honey, and brown rice syrup. Start experimenting and try some of my gluten-free cookie recipes! Delicious!!
