Keep your intestines healthy and in check with probiotics!:
A probiotic and enzyme salad comprising a medium-sized shredded green cabbage, peeled ginger root, and unpasteurized miso paste (Japanese traditional seasoning of fermented soya beans) must be mixed up and stored in sterilized glass jars. Do note to leave 2 inches of space in the sterilized glass jar for the mixture to expand, and leave it in the pantry for 5 days before moving it to a refrigerator and your sacred, probiotic enzyme salad is ready to consume. Enjoy at least ½ cup every day with dinner. This bounty of enzymes and friendly flora makes us more balanced and restores the PH balance in our intestines as well as eliminates the risk of intestinal infections.
Discover the life-saving properties of nutritional yeast:
Nutritional yeast is a lifesaver necessary to regulate blood sugar and is important for diabetics and those who are susceptible to low blood sugar. For anyone transitioning into a diet, nutritional yeast gives density and adds cheesy flavor to salads so you can avoid carbohydrates. Nutritional yeast contains eight amino acids, fifteen different minerals, and B complex vitamins. Although it is slightly acid-forming, the positives outweigh the negatives. It is best when served with sprouts or kale salad instead of cheese.
Consume red bell peppers for vitamins A, C, and K:
Although all peppers are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, red peppers are exceptionally bursting with these nutrients which help prevent cell damage, premature aging and reduce inflammation. Vitamin K also has great skin-beautifying properties and helps protect our cells from oxidative damage. An oil-free red pepper and cilantro dressing is a delectable treat for an evening snack. All you will need for this splendid dressing blend is half a red pepper, 3/4th cup of fresh cilantro, 1 small tomato, 1 garlic clove, 1 ½ tbs fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and water as required, ¼ tsp black pepper, ½ organic miso paste and 1 tsp raw apple cider vinegar. Blend all the ingredients until smooth, enjoy fresh, or store for up to two days in a refrigerator.
Don’t miss out on kale, the ultimate superfood, when planning your diet!:
Kale is a powerful beauty food that is packed with phytochemicals, fiber, and chlorophyll – a major blood builder. It helps cleanse our blood resulting in a healthier body with clearer skin. Chop up some kale with a dash of sprouts, avocados, ripened tomatoes, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and 1 tbsp olive oil for an incredible kale salad packed with protein-building amino acids, enzymes, minerals, and antioxidants. Remember to separate the kale stems and leaves to juice the stems later to add them to the salad!
Elevate your protein intake with hemp seeds, the ultimate source of plant-based nutrition!:
Hemp seeds are 33 percent easily digestible plant protein and two tablespoons serve up a whooping eleven grams of protein! Loaded with the perfect ratio of omega-3 fats and the beauty minerals magnesium, zinc, iron, and phosphorus – these seeds are nutritious gifts from nature. To enjoy the nutritional benefits of hemp seeds, enjoy this raw tabouli salad with hemp seeds. The ingredients you will be needing are 1 huge bunch of curly parsley, ½ white onion, 1 organic tomato, 5-6 hemp seeds, juice of 1 lemon, 1 garlic clove minced, ¼ cup cold-pressed oil, and 1 tsp sea salt. Add the chopped parsley, onion, tomato, and hemp seeds in a bowl to combine them with a blended dressing of lemon, garlic, olive oil, and sea salt. Enjoy the raw tabouli salad with the dressing on top.
