Nut or Seed “Milk”

½ cup almonds, hazelnuts or sunflower seeds (all raw, unsalted and preferably organic)

enough filtered water to cover and soak nuts or seeds overnight

3 additional cups filtered (pure) water

Optional: 1 tsp. Brown Rice Syrup or stevia to taste

1. Soak the nuts and seeds overnight (note: you can try this with sesame seeds as well, but omit the overnight soak and skip to step 3).

2. Strain and discard the water used for soaking. The skins of the nuts should peel off easily at this point. (If they do not, then place in small saucepan on the stovetop, add water to cover and simmer for about 5 minutes. This will release the skins for you.)

3. Place the nuts or seeds along with the water and optional sweetener in a blender and blend well.

4. You may drink the nut milk as is, or strain it through a fine strainer or cheesecloth. If you prefer the unstrained version, be sure to “chew” the ground mixture for optimal digestibility.

Amasake

1/3 cup cooked brown Basmati rice

10-15 almonds

8 ounces pure water

2 tbl. Brown rice syrup

Place all ingredients in a VitaMix or blender and blend well to make a creamy consistency.

**Can substitute almond milk (unfiltered) for the almonds and water in this recipe.

Scrambled tofu or eggs and vegetables

3 eggs or 1 cup of firm tofu

1 ml. Olive oil or Ghee

1 tsp. Fresh basil

¼ cup chopped onion or leek

¼ tsp. Spike or Nori Flakes

Quick squirt of Bragg’s liquid aminos (if using tofu)

¼ cup broccoli florets

1 cup chopped spinach

Sauté onions and oil until aromatic. Add tofu, herbs and vegetables (wait a few minutes if adding eggs). Sauté until tofu starts to brown about 5 minutes. Add eggs if using them. Careful not to overcook the eggs. Keep griddle at moderate temperature.

UltraPancakes

¼ cup millet flour

¼ cup brown rice flour

1 tsp. Baking powder (non-aluminum)

1 Tbl. Ground flax seeds

1/3 cup protein powder

1 egg (can substitute 2 egg whites or egg replacer)

1 cup milk (rice, or soy)

Mix dry ingredients and liquid ingredients separately. Add liquid mixture to dry mixture and beat or mix well. You may have to add additional liquid depending on desired thickness of pancake. Ladle on to hot griddle (375 degrees). Serve with ghee, almond butter, applesauce or Brown rice syrup

Alkaline Broth

3 stalks celery or bok choy

Parsley

3 carrots

1 large onion or 2 cloves garlic

1 cup spinach leaves

6 organic unpeeled potatoes

Cover with water in a non-aluminum soup pot. Let cook until broth has a rich flavor. Strain and drink hot or cold.

Bieler Broth

Bieler broth is a wonderful, nurturing and calming food that has been used by naturopaths and holistic doctor’s for years during fasting. It helps to nourish and de-acidify the system. Enjoy in limitless amounts.

Choose a combination of equal amounts from the following vegetables:

celery, green beans, zucchini, spinach, parsley

Place your vegetables in a steaming basket and cover the bottom of the pot with enough water so that it does not boil dry but not enough to cover any of your vegetables. Check them with a fork periodically to make sure that they are still “crunchy”. This will usually take only a few minutes.

Place your vegetables and the steaming water in your blender and puree. Add any of your favorite fresh or dry herbs to enhance the flavor of the broth.

If your system is sensitive:

Place the above vegetables in a soup pot with a significant amount of water.

Add any of your favorite fresh or dried herbs to enhance the flavor of your soup.

Bring this to a boil, then let it simmer for 45-60 minutes. Drain and keep the broth.

Throw away the vegetables because the nutrients will be leached out of them.

Almond Avocado Dip

2 Scallions, finely chopped

1 - 2 cloves Garlic (optional)

1/4 tsp. cayenne

1 med. Avocado

1 med. Tomato

2 tsp. Basil (1/4 bunch)

1 tsp. Tarragon

1/3 cup Almonds (soaked and blanched)

¼ cup Lemon juice

Soak the almonds for 12-24 hours, discard the water. Boil 1 cup of pure water and pour over the almonds. Wait for 30 seconds, discard the water again and slip the skin off the almond by using your thumb and index finger (you now have blanched almonds). Put the blanched almonds in the food processor and blend until creamy. Chop the basil and tarragon in the processor until finely chopped, (always chop herbs first before your blender gets moist) or chop manually with a sharp knife. Add tomato, avocado, herbs, and lemon juice.

You may serve this dip with your favorite raw veggies or green salad or use as a spread on crackers. This dip is very much appreciated by those individuals with candida, who are restricted from eating a variety of other foods.
