THE SWEET DANGERS OF SUGAR◽️◽️◽️
ALTERNATIVES are there◽️◽️◽️

What are the bad things about sugar?
The basic problem. The problems with sugars such as refined, white sugar, and high-fructose corn syrup are endless, and could probably take up this entire post. So, here is a quick summary of why sugar is toxic. Basically, sugar has been linked to heart problems, weight gain, leptin resistance, cancer and addiction, to name just a few problems.

My Christmas dessert was totally sugar free…egg whites, lemon curd, whipped coconut cream & berries ; all with monk fruit. My egg whites did deflate and took on a marshmallow texture ( going to work on that with adjusting the heat) but everyone felt better with this dessert.

FIBER-UP & GET MORE GREENS in your BREAKFAST🥦🥦🥦with 🥦Stems

This was a fun experiment this morning ..that gave me more ideas …

Remember the pesto from the cabbage? I used that up in this recipe.
This was fast because I used my little salad shooter. I used 3 stems ONLY and got 1 cup grated..which gave me 8 grams of fiber ….the green onion tops yield was 1/2 cup equaled 2 grams fiber. I whisked 4 eggs and used 1/2 cup whipped eggs for each recipe. Recipe yield was 2 servings.
The pesto was loaded with parsley (bumping up the chlorophyll) , garlic & capers. Plus good fats from walnuts & olive oil. Each servi8ng is 5-6 grams of fiber

BROCCOLI STEM / EGGS. (1 Serving)

1/4 Cup Scallion Tops Chopped
1/2 Cup Grated Broccoli Stems
Sauté the above in a small skillet..ghee or avocado oil if needed.
Add : when soft
2 eggs Whisked
Cook until set. Fold over and finish cooking.
Serve with Pesto. I thinned my pesto with a bit of water.

Pesto:

FOR THE PESTO:
2 Cups Parsley Leaves Packed
3 Cloves Garlic Chopped ( 2 teaspoons)
1 Teaspoon Lemon Zest
1/2 Cup Walnuts Soaked Overnight
3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
3 Tablespoons Capers Rinsed
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1;4 Teaspoon Pepper
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
Put all ingredients in a food processor except the oil. Pulse until coarsely blended and with the motor on slowly drizzle in the olive oil until blended.

….AVOCADO TOAST AT IT’S SUNDAY BEST🥑🥑🥑

This open-faced sandwich is full of healthy , unsaturated fats, packed with fiber ;making it an effortless breakfast or lunch. Toasting bread makes it more digestable cutting starches creates more fiber and can reduce fats.Getting your starch from toasted bread is much better in contrast with getting it from the normal bread. Actually, eating some kinds of bread alone without toasting them can raise your levels of blood sugar because of their increased GI values.
Now not all bread is equal ..I recommend a sprouted whole grain bread. ‘FOOD FOR LIFE” & “ALVARADO ST. BAKERY” offer gluten-free, sprouted, whole grain, & yeast free breads. A fermented sourdough sprouted rye is a good choiuce too. Remember bread is a treat. Ezekiel Bread is great.

1/2 Small Avocado
1/2 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
1/8 Teaspoon Himalayan Salt
1 Slice Non-gluten , Sprouted Bread Toasted
Toppings:
Grated Radish
Cucumber Slices
Broccoli Sprouts
Fresh Peas
Red Pepper Flakes Optional

In a small bowl, combine avocado, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Gently mash with the back of a fork.
Top toasted bread with mashed avocado mixture and sprinkle over desired toppings.

Vitamin D Deficiency- Causes and Consequences ✔️✔️

~One important blood test everyone should get is Vitamin D. Even when living in a sunny climate, Vitamin D deficiency is very common. Vitamin D supplementation often resolves many health problems. Just make sure to take it with fat, as this helps your body to absorb it.

IN REMEMBERENCE OF THE MEANING OF THIS HOLY SEASON I would like to share in the Spirit of Advent ………. ISAIAH’S ADVENT SALAD 🥒🥒🥒

❇️GRACE YOUR TABLE WITH A CHRISTMAS SALAD THAT HAS MEANING

ISAIAH is considered a Major Prophet. While the book of Isaiah is categorized as prophecy it also contains some of the most important prophecies of any book in the Bible. Including the coming of the Messiah (Isaiah 7:14).

Cucumbers, dark greek olives, dill and goat curd were foods used during this time of Advent. Cucumbers grew on the shores of Lake Karun when the pyramids were being built around 2100B.C. They were almost the same as today but slightly like zucchinni. Dll was around 3000BC ; it was a sign of good luck and wealth. It was used to pay taxes it was so highly prized. Interestingly enough the salad looks like Christmas it is delish and fresh and simple.

ISAIAH’S ADVENT SALAD
1 Large Cucumber (3 Cups)
14 Greek Olives Chopped
3 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
Sea Salt to Taste
2 Tablespoons Goat Feta
Sprigs of Dill

Cut your cucumber into match-stix. I used my mandoline. I also used an English cucumber. if you use a regular cucumber you will want to de-seed and slice very thin leaving the green on . Buy Organic. Add olives and dress with the vinegar . Season and toss in goat crumble right before serving. Top with dill.

In the Spirit of Advent,

DETOX *** your Pre Holiday Cleanse
Reboot your System Everyday
cleanse, as you go , throughout the Holiday

We need to keep our systems rebooted everyday...as indulgence comes in we take it right out with digestive enzymes, antioxidants ,superfoods and cleansing soups and shakes. This is a much better approach rather than having to deal with the aftermath of indulgence all at once.

Having this drink once or twice a day before lunch and or dinner will help eliminate the waste throughout the day. Taking Biotin with an electrolyte powder (Ultima prefered- no sugar) will metabolize fats into amino acids and acts as a catalyst for metabolic reactions . Adding apple cider vinegar will assist breaking down fats plus improves elimination. You can take this drink it in shots ....1/2 before lunch and half before dinner or all at once before your heaviest meal. Toxins hide in fats.

Detox Drink
1 Cup Water 8 oz.
1/2 Package Ultima Elyctrolyte Orange
Biotin Dosage Divided in 2 parts
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar (Braggs)
1 -2 Tablespoon Lemon/Lime Juice
8 Cranberries Fresh

Blend all ingredients until incorporated except add Biotin when taking the 2 shots. Recommend taking everyday or several days a week before meals …..all during Holiday.
