A common question from my patients revolves around specific ingredients to prevent disease. Leafy greens, antioxidant-rich fruits, mineral-rich lemons, fresh garlic, mineral and protein-rich broth, enzyme-rich lacto fermented foods and beverages, and purified water top my list.
Here are a few of my favorite mainstay recipes that I make nearly daily!
Good Morning Cleansing Tonic
1 lemon
1 apple
6 leaves kale
6 leaves romaine
1” ginger root
Combine all in a juicer (not blender!).
Wellness Salad
Greens of your choice
For dressing, whisk together:
Equal parts – Olive Oil, Flax Seed Oil
Juice of ½ lemon
Crushed garlic clove
Liquid Aminos to taste
Toss greens with dressing and sprinkle 1/8 cup nut cheese on top.
