Its Earth Day We Have A Winner


The Spring Cleaning Giveaway has come to a close. Thank you to all who entered for a chance to win a:
  • trial size bottle of Vitamineral™ Green
  • trial size bottle of Vitamineral™ Earth
  • copy of The Master Cleanser with Special Needs & Problems by Stanley Burroughs
  • trial sack of Maggies Soap Nuts™
The question – If you can only eat 5 different foods for the rest of your life, what are they? – sure provided interesting food for thought and sparked some creative answers. Responses ranged from fried chicken to French fries to green smoothies to chia seeds! Mmmm.

I really got a kick out of this entry, "I need two lists, one for if my life was only going to be about a week long (so the bad effects of the food choices wouldnt take much of a toll) and my healthy list for real life." Heres her One-Week-To-Live list:
  1. Pizza
  2. Carrot Cake
  3. Salted Mixed Nuts
  4. Fudgey Chocolate Pate
  5. Cookie Dough
Chocolate was definitely a recurring theme among entrants.

What surprised me was the number of folks who listed single food items, like "kale, avocado, mango, coconut, watermelon." Not I. You can bet zucchini fettuccine with mango sauce wouldve made my list, and after giving it a try, some of you just might want to rethink your own list.

Zucchini Fettuccine with Sesame Mango Sauce

2 zucchini
4 mango diced
1 lemon juiced
2 Tbsp raw tahini
1/4 C water
chopped mint leaves for garnish
black sesame seeds for garnish

1. Spiralize the zucchini into fettuccine noodles, using a spiral slicer or a regular vegetable peeler.

2. To make the sauce: blend mangoes, tahini, water, and lemon juice in blender until smooth and creamy.

3. Top the zucchini noodles with sauce, and garnish with chopped mint leaves and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

So. Drum roll, please. Whos the lucky winner, Mr. Random Number Generator?Why that would be sharonl, who said:

hmmmmmmmmm

-cashews
-avocado
-brown rice cakes
-blueberries
-wild salmon

Congratulations! Youll be receiving a package in the mail shortly to help you begin your own Spring Cleaning & Detox.


Happy Earth Day everyone! Love your Mother and help save the earth, one bite at a time. Been thinking about becoming a veg head? Click here to order a FREE Vegetarian Starter Guide.

Jump For Joy We Have Our Winners!

 
Thanks for all the positive feedback on Understanding Candida: Finding A Healthy Balance and to everyone who entered the giveaway for a Kroeger Herb® Candida Kit. 

As I mentioned, candidaisis often goes unrecognized and untreated, rapidly creating a downward health spiral as it becomes prevalent in the body. The best way to eradicate candida is to:

1.  Modify your diet: eliminate sugar, carbs, alcohol, fermented foods, mushrooms, dairy, yeast, molds, acid-forming foods.

2.  Use the Candida Formula #1™ and Candida Formula #2™ from the Kroeger Herb Candida Kit for at least one month. (Please Note: I do not receive any monetary compensation nor free product for recommending this. I do so, quite simply, because its of the finest quality and it works.)

3.  Rebuild healthy bacteria: Immediately after cleansing, take the probiotic supplement in the Kroeger Herb Candida Kit. Eat lots of raw cultured veggies. Introducing friendly flora will help combat candida regrowth.

So, lets get to the winners, shall we? Kroeger Herb has graciously offered to send a Candida Kit to two lucky readers, and heres who Mr. Random Number Generator chose: tyrahD and bankrupt vegan. Congratulations, ladies! Happy cleansing...

Have You Had Your Plant Blood Today

Fresh Veggie Juice
So have you recovered from the gluttonous feast known as Thanksgiving Dinner? Is it just my Hungarian clan or can your family turn a holiday (emphasis on day) into a weekend eat-a-thon too? Lordy! And to think I used to partake in the spree. Yikes, my insides hurt just thinking about all the calories and cholesterol.

While I no longer gorge myself on the traditional T-Day fare, I do partake in foods much richer than Im accustomed to eating — walnuts, pecans, almonds, dates, raw honey. I typically eat very simple meals of fresh fruits, veggies or sea vegetables, and my first meal of the day is always freshly extracted juice.

I noticed a difference in how I felt as soon as I opened my eyes on Friday morning. Heavy. Sluggish. A little bit fuzzy in my thinking. I didnt like it. Crazy to think that I used to feel that way all.the.time. Ick!

When I learned that Sunday was International Juice Feasting Day, I was all, "Count me in!" As I said, my first meal of the day is always a quart of juice, but sometimes I like to give my body a break and juice all my meals. After all, digestion is hard work. A periodic juice fast, or extended feast, is a wonderful practice to adopt.

People from 16 different countries joined Dave the Raw Food Trucker on Sunday for the first International Juice Feasting Day. If you dont know Dave, do yourself a favor and watch some of his YouTube videos. Heres a recent one I particularly love. Daves been juice feasting for 120 days and has dropped over 200 pounds. He has experienced an astounding transformation physically, emotionally and spiritually.

But one neednt juice feast for 120 days to benefit. My friend Kristen Suzanne calls fresh vegetable juice "plant blood" and I think its fitting for something thats loaded with organic water, chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.

A juicer will separate the juice from the fiber, leaving you with only pure organic hydration. Thats water derived from plant sources, folks, and its essential for encouraging and nourishing healthy cells.

By removing the fiber, our digestive systems get a break and that nutrient-rich plant blood can pass directly into our bloodstream and start going to work on a cellular level. Its a terrific way to supercharge your immune system and purge loads of toxins from your body.

On International Juice Feasting Day, I enjoyed a quart of Beetific Elixir and a couple quarts of this Green Lemonade:
Green Juice
1 bunch Romaine
2 stalks celery
1 cucumber
1 handful dulse
2 Gala apples
1 lemon
1 inch fresh ginger root

Would you ever consider doing an extended juice feast like Dave?
