Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

I’m starting this thread so people can throw down any healthy food experience they’ve enjoyed lately.  This could be a new dish you’ve created through your own inventive and experimental nature, or a recipe you’ve come across that you currently enjoy… even add in your old time favorites.  Also feel free to write down a whole daily food experience if it was a good one… share, share and share some more, that’s the purpose of this thread!
————————————–
One of the dishes I’ve been enjoying lately is my ever evolving fruit salad… really the fruit can and does vary, but in my case they’re usually all organic.  What makes my fruit salads unique is that I get my chocolate fix through them by sprinkling organic raw chocolate (cacao nibs) in the mix after putting them through a coffee grinder.  Second I throw in a two heaping tablespoons of organic hemp protein powder (15g protein).This is a really great tasting dish that has many added health benefits when the raw chocolate and hemp is added with the fruit.  The chocolate by itself isn’t that tasty, but the natural sugars in the fruit masks the bitterness while leaving you with that chocolate flavor most people love…

I walked into this  cafe just to try it out and I tried this amazing chocolate made without sugar and milk and it was so good. I even tried a sandwhich made with romain lettuce as the bread with almond pate  avacados and tomatos. It was so yummy.

Sounds like a delicious & nutritious fruit salad.

My major staple meal is a lot like Mango Lassi.
I use organic milk, which I ferment into an extrmely active probiotic kefir.

1/2 large mango or whole small one
a couple of pineapple chunks
2 organic banannas
blend that up at low speed in the blender
add about  a cup of kefir  blend just long enough to mix (seconds only)
add 3 organic free-range hi-omega-3 eggs blend for seconds only.

This has been my usual morning meal (4 or 5 days /week) for  years, since I read Dr. Mercola's writeup on raw eggs .. far more nutritious and easily digestible raw..   they're also considered a “health food” in Mexico, and I'm sure elsewhere..  though I'd avoid the factory farmed eggs.

Often I don't get hungry after this breakfast until dinner.
I use no vitamins or supplements, and am amazingly healthy .. people were coming down with colds & flu all around me the Winter..   I did have almost a week where I felt low-energy and very slight swelliing in the lymph nodes.  Nothing like the illness a lot of folks suffered.

::Peanut Butter & Elvis Sandwich::

2 slices of Sprouted grain bread

A heaping dallop of freshly made Honey Roasted Peanut Butter

A drizzle of sliced almonds

1 half-mashed bannana

Combine all ingredients. Throw on bread (seriously, throw it). Enjoy.

Since you mentioned dr. Mercola, I thought you may wish to read this from him:

What Kind of Eggs Should You Buy, and Where Can You Find Them?First of all, I strongly encourage you to ignore the hype of “designer” eggs and AVOID ALL omega-3 eggs, as they are actually LESS healthy for you.Typically, the animals are fed poor-quality sources of omega-3 fats that are already oxidized. Additionally, omega-3 eggs are far more perishable than non-omega-3 eggs so they don't stay fresh nearly as long.If you have to purchase your eggs from a commercial grocery store, I would advise getting free-range organic. Ideally, if at all possible, it would be far preferable to purchase your eggs directly from your local farmer, because this way you can be certain of the quality. This may not be as hard as you think. In my experience, this is one of the easiest foods to find from local farmers.

 like to make mostly raw combos.  A hearty veg seaweed salad.   

In a big bowl:  place herbal lettus leaves and sprouts any kind,  shred some organic vegs: carrots, celery, cucumber, cabbage and anything else you have thats fresh.  Dressing: I use a vitamix blender.  I add: soaked organic nuts or seeds (easier protein assimilation) few slices of ginger, fresh squeezed lemon, braggs liquid aminos (like soy sauce) and Braggs kelp herb salt and amount of water to make a creamy texture.  Blend till smooth and pour over top.  Then sprinkle “Maine Coast Sea Seasoning” dulse granules over the whole thing.  Stir up and enjoy!

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

Best dressing ever:

2-3 T raw tahini
1.5-2 T maple syrup (or agave or brown rice syrup)
1/2- inch of ginger, grated fine
1 whole garlic clove
juice of 1 lime
1 T Apple Cider Vinegar
1 T Brown Rice Vinegar
2 Tsp. Nama Shoyu
pinch of celtic sea salt

Blend together, with wisk or by shaking… then use just enough toasted sesame oil to emulsify. Fantastic on any salad, great marinade for vegetables before going on the grill. Try it. It's lovely.

Every Sunday my mom and I bake together.  We each make a batch of our baked oatmeal bars, and they become our weekly snack.  I eat one everyday between my breakfast drink and my lunch.  (everyone who's tried them loves them)
3 cups of orgnaic old fashioned oats
1 cup regular or vanilla soy milk
2-4 eggs (your choice depending on desired protein content)
1 T olive oil
1 T ground flax seed
1 t baking soda
1/2 cup of organic honey or pure maple syrup ( I also found an organic butter pecan rice syrup, mmmmmm)
2 cups of chopped dried fruit (your choice)
3/4 cup nuts (your choice)
t spices (your choice)

Bake at 350 for about 35-45 minutes in an 8x11 or 9x13 then cut into 6 or 8 bars.  Best to store in the fridge, but can keep in your purse, bag or desk for a day and they won't go bad.

each bar has about 200 calories and 15g of protein (with 4 eggs), maybe 7g fiber

****Best combos:
cherry, almond, vanilla
craisin, orange zest, ginger, pecan
blueberry, lemon zest, vanilla, pecan
cherry, date walnut (less sweetner needed)
plum walnut
apple, cinnamon, walnut
raisin, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove
craisin macademia (could add white choc.)
appricott pecan


Make them up as you go & have fun!

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

Lindsay said
Vanilla Almond Milk is wonderful! And you can find several brands at most health food stores or try making it yourself!

All-Natural Almond Milk

1 1/2 cups of raw almonds, soaked in water overnight
4 cups of filtered or spring water
3-5 dates (optional)

Blend 1 ½ cups of raw almonds that have been soaked overnight in 4 cups of water. Blend with dates if you like your milk with a hint of sweetness. Strain once to remove almond granules. The result is a delicious, creamy milk that is free of harmful vegetable oil, concentrated sweeteners, and the problems associated with cow’s milk and soy. It can be stored safely for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

I wanted to share a recipe for an old time dish that I 'veganized”
It make a great breakfast or dinner side.
     
         Fried apples and onions

slice one small apple and one small onion thinly(note-increase as needed)
spray a non-stick pan with olive oil spray and fry onions until
soft and slightly brown.
put the apple in the pan and add brown sugar to taste( I use only a half tsp because of being diabetic) and some cinnamon and /or allspice.
cook until the apples are soft. about 2min
enjoy this with fried potatoes or some soy bacon or sausage for breakfast.
It would make a great dinner side too.

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

Roc said
I am just back from the two top nutrition research conferences, the Linus Pauling Institute in Portland, OR every two years, and the American Aging Association this year in San Antonio, TX. Here are the headlines from 8 days of 30 minute talks. 

1) A few blueberries and strawberries once in the morning and once in the evening are very effective at maintaining optimal function of your hippocampus, a key part of your brain for good memory. 

2) Eggs are a great source of choline, a vitamin since 2000. And choline is very important for maintaining your brain. The current daily value is 450 mg, but actually 850 mg is recommended. THIS VITAMIN IS ESPECIALLYIMPORTANT FOR BABIES FROM CONCEPTION TO AGE 4. One presentation showed your child is likely to be 30% more intelligent their entire life if given sufficient choline during this period. So the evidence in these presentations indicate your child will benefit if you eat eggs when you are pregnant and nursing, and feed your child eggs as soon as they are able. 

3) This same can be said for cold water fish or fish oil or blue green algae DHA and EPA. These nutrients are also essential for brain development and maintenance. To maintain flexible cell membranes so you can make connections between nerve cells when you learn things, you need DHA/EPA and choline. 

4) Last topic was many sections about epigenetics. This is the process by which a person’s DNA becomes labelled from conception to 4 years of age. That labelling controls the expression of the DNA for the person’s entire lifespan. The control of DNA expression is reset each generation. This is one important reason why twins can be identical yet still be very different in genetic traits - their DNA is under different regulatory control because of epigenetic labelling.

Ifound this a while ago on a vegan recipe site and it really is wonderfully easy to make. There's nothing like fresh, homemade bread spread with hummus for a quick snack!

Easy Vegan Wheat Bread
Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    2 1/2 cups warm water
    3 cups whole wheat flour
    2 tablespoon of yeast (or two packets)
    1/2 cup molasses
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    1/4 cup soy milk
    3 to 4 cups unbleached white flour
    1 teaspoon salt

Directions:

This is super easy to make. Most of the time is spent letting the dough rise and bake. You don't spend much time in the kitchen…I SWEAR!

Mix water, yeast and 1 tablespoon of the molasses together in a large bowl. Pour in the 3 cups of wheat flour and mix well.  Cover the bowl with a towel and place in a dry place. Let it sit for a minimum of 20 minutes, up to a day! Fit it into YOUR schedule.

Pour in the rest of the molasses, oil, soy milk and salt.  Mix together. Begin adding white flour, a 1/2 cup at a time. After the third cup, it begins to get pretty dense. I begin kneading the vegan bread in the bowl and it is still a bit sticky, so I'll add another 1/2 to 1 cup of flour as I knead the vegan bread. Knead it for 5 to 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Cut the dough into two, equal parts. Shape them into loaves and place them into two, 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 greased vegan bread pans.  (You can also make 24 rolls…or 1 loaf, and 12 rolls…whatever you want!!!).

Cover pans with a towel in a warm place and let the dough double in size. This will take at least an hour to an hour and a half.

Baking: Bake loaves at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes.  Rolls should be baked at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.

What's really great is I've experimented–adding in chopped apples, cinnamon, and unbleached sugar; bananas and walnuts; and other things and they've come out great. You can really play around with it and make some great stuff. :)) I'm going to try adding some pumpkin to it–mmm. I'll let you know how it goes.

Cheers,
Kits

I just made some wonderful almond and brown rice burgers a couple of nights ago.  It was a simple concoction of ground almonds, cooked brown rice, pinto beans, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, shredded carrot, and various herbs and spices.  I whizzed it all up in my food processor and lightly pan fried the patties in some olive oil.  Yummy!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, for breakfast… I really love to eat two whole grain waffles with peanut butter and apples. I put it all together like a sandwich and it is absolutely delicious and just puts me in the best mood.  I think I found that in a magazine awhile ago… but I loved it and eat it all the time now in the morning.  It tastes so good and plus the apples make it crunchy and eating crunchy foods puts you in a better mood… I wish I remember where I read that, but I did and I am pretty sure it's true.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Oil a sheet pan and set aside.  Combine all the dry ingredients, excluding the cranberries and the currants, in a bowl.  Combine all the wet ingredients in a large bowl, add the dry ingredients, and, with plastic sandwich bags on your hands, toss together until well combined.  Spread out on the oiled sheet pan.  Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.  Stir often with a spatula for even cooking.  Add the currents and cranberries after the granola is baked.
Cool completely, then store in a resealable plastic bag.  Enjoy with soymilk.

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

As you know Saffron has many benefits. 

Try a few threads of it in the mornings on any cereal and warm milk if you don't mind warm milk.

Only then you will get it to dissolve to get the flavor and fragrance.

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

Roamer,  What benefits does saffron have.   I bought some recently in Madrid, and generally only use a couple of strands when boiling rice. But really aware of any benefits.


Clare

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

I found one website on Saffron just for starters and am interested in more answers.

This thread is a goldmine… I am going to try some of these foods.  I am off now to make a cup of cocoa. I have Kokoa brand from Whole Foods.

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

Hi Clare,Lot of the mention about benefits of Saffron are anecdotal.You can visit the site www.indusladies.com and check out the forum sectionor do a search within that.many Indians use this,ofcourse one should use it in very small amounts,few threads only.Many culinary benefits as well.I think it has general tonefying benefits on one's health.I have enjoyed it

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

This helps immensely to know this. I agree small amounts.. and appreciate your disclaimer.  I am going to try it.

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

These are wonderful recipes, every single one.  I am especially drawn to the trail/snack mixes due to spending a lot of time in the woods.  The information on fresh water fish, eggs and berries is of deep interest as well.  I have found that since incorporating these things fully into my diet, it has made a tremendous difference in how I feel on several levels.

Much appreciations~

I walked into this  cafe just to try it out and I tried this amazing chocolate made without sugar and milk and it was so good. I even tried a sandwich made with romaine lettuce as the bread with almond pate avocado and tomatoes. It was so yummy.
I used to drink smoothies made of orange juice and fresh spinach every morning. Just throw a handful of spinach leaves into a blender of about 2 cups of orange juice ( or more).  
I can promise you will not be able to taste the spinach-it tastes like orange juice! And it is a great way to get your green veggies! Try it! :)

and davidhartley recommends:
I've been enjoying the mostly Raw Vegan cuisine served by a San Francisco -based  small restaurant chain:  Cafe Gratitude..  for about a year.

Prior to this, most of my experience with vegetarian “cuisine” had been mostly of the 'rice & vegetables' nature (I learned to make some amazingly tasy & relatively healthy cooked veggie stuff, but raw & vegan is another dimension ;)
Anyhow.

Cafe Gratitude has published a bunch of their recipes in a book available here
http://www.cafegratitudestore.com/bk01-ig.html

-there is also a newly published desert cookbook.
This stuff is indescribably GOOD !
On taste & texture alone, some of their deserts are WAAAAy better than their non-vegetarian analogues.

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

I LOVE juicing!!!! I recently just started drinking carrot juice with my late day meal.  It is like heaven in a glass - YUM!

Here's some good juicing info:
Green Juices

These nutritional powerhouse drinks have amazing health benefits. Made from a variety of green vegetables, they are rich in clorophyll, which helps build red blood cells, purify the blood, heal body tissues, detoxify the system, and boost immunity.
8 - 10 oz. daily is advised. Too much green juice can be overstimulating.
Combine any combination of the following:

Alfalfa sprouts, Cabbage, Kale, Dandelion Greens, Spinach, Chard, Lambs Quarter, Brocoli, Celery, Cilantro, Parsley, Wheat Grass.
Apples or carrots can be added to your green drinks to dilute and sweeten.
Here's an excellent all around green drink recipe:
Green Machine

4 Carrots OR 2 Apples
1/2 Bunch Spinach
1 Large Handful of Kale
1 Medium Beet with Greens
1 Clove Garlic
1/4 Head Cabbage
Vegetable Juices

Vegetable juices build and restore. They also help control obesity by removing excess body fat, build immunity, remove acid wastes, and help balance the metabolism. The abundance of vitamins and minerals nourish and tone all the body's glands and organs.
By using a wide variety of vegetables of various colors, we ensure a full range of nutrients.
Taste is important also, so make sure not to use too many of the stronger flavored veggies at a time.
Strong Flavored Vegetables to Use in Moderation

Broccoli, Celery, Onion, Garlic, Parsley, Radishes, Rutabagas, Turnips.
The Mighty Carrot

Probably the most popular vegetable juice, carrot juice is packed with cartenoids, such as beta-carotene, that has cancer-fighting benefits.
It is also high in vitamins - especially vitamin A, which promotes healthy bones and teeth, and helps maintain normal glandular functions. It also aids in resisting infections.

Carrot juice is also high in b- complexvitamins, and minerals like calcium, copper, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, chlorine, sulfur, and iron.
Being the sweetest vegetable, carrots are a popular, nutritious addition to any juice combination.

Fruit Juices
Fruit juice is a powerful cleanser, and also provides lots of cancer-fighting antioxidants. They purify the blood and eliminate accumulated toxins from the cells.
Watermelon Juice
Watermelon juice is particularly cleansing. Juice it on its own, as it is so quickly assimiated and digested. Wash the outside of the melon thoroughly and juice chunks at a time with the rind left on. Yum!!!
Other popular and delicious fruits for juicing include apples, pears, melons, berries, kiwis, citrus, and pineapple.

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

Jody said just discovered fiddlehead ferns and ramps (wild leeks).  Talk about yum!  I sauteed the ferns with some garlic, sea salt and pepper and put them over buckwheat soba noodles.  The ramps are good in eggs, on toast, in salads - just about anywhere you might use garlic, scallions or leeks.  They have a wonderfully strong flavor that's a cross between onion and garlic.  Both are only around in the Spring, so look for them now!  Ramps grow in Appalachia and Michigan, so they may be hard to find in AZ.  I found them at Whole Foods here in New York.  I think there are places online, though, that you can actually order them to be sent to you. 

Warmly,
Jody

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

Juicing is great, but I would caution that it's not good for everyone. Carrot juice could induce too large of an increase in blood sugar, which could make the pancreas work harder.

I juice celery and spinach, and it works to some extent. I notice my body requires more calories when I drink vegetable juice, but I really like the idea of an easy-to-digest form of raw vegetable, so I juice. I don't go crazy with it.

For more information, see Dr. Mercola's recommendations for juicing (type “juicing” in the search box on http://www.mercola.com). It depends on metabolic type as he explains. Metabolic type is unique for each individual, so it is worthwhile to notice how your body responds to particular foods.

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

Thanks for this tip Ken. I agree and am happy to add your caution as a disclaimer that each should check things out for themselves and Dr. Mercola is a wonderful website for getting their newsletter and using as a tool.

I am interested in more website like this for this site from all of us. I can open a room just for references such as this one.

This helps bring more quality by sharing other's experience.

Re: Share Your Healthy Heavenly Food

Happy to share Lee. Dr. Mercola's site is a treasure of information about alternative ways to keep or get healthy. It's the first place I turn for information about health on the internet.
