Gazpacho Salad

Gazpacho Salad

Don’t wait to try this. It’s simple but exceptional: It’s a hybrid I call ‘Gazpacho Salad’ born of extra gazpacho base & ingredients. It’s my new summer salad favorite (it’s early summer here in South Africa).

Ingredients: chopped lettuces, chopped tomatoes, chopped celery, cucumber, spring onion & chillis topped with blended/pulsed medium sized ripe tomatoes, fresh garlic (2 cloves), fresh ginger (1 tablespoon chopped), 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice.

Pour generous amount of the blended tomato mixture over the other salad ingredients. Top with goat feta and touch of stevia. It’s ridiculously delish & super satisfying!

It’s Volcano Hour!

It’s Volcano Hour!

It’s Volcano Hour!

I always add a Volcano to my Mother Earth (both from Juice Press). I need the intensity of the ginger, lime, cayenne & oil of oregano to put some POW! into the simple dark greens. I also add liquid stevia drops which makes it so super-delish. Just add the Volcano in as the Mother Earth bottle goes down and periodically add the stevia drops. A Volcano a day keeps the doctor away!

The Real Probiotics

The Real Probiotics

Real Probiotics

 

Re: kombucha and water kefir, I only recommend them for people who need to wean off of soda, not for anyone else.

 

Kombucha and kefir are trendy but it’s all marketing hype. I know many people will not like to hear this but they are not life-generators. The bacteria turns rancid both in the container and in your intestine. Real probiotics are real life generators – that which has life force in it and is not inclined to rancidity.

 

Organic Dark Leafy Greens

 

The only substances that fit that bill are organic dark leafy greens (juiced or eaten) and fresh sprouts. Remember, theoretical probiotics do not necessarily equate to actually being life supportive in your ‘human Petri dish.’ I’m speaking with the benefit of 20 years of clinical and personal experience.

 

Bubbles and Dubious Bacteria

 

Many will punt things that should theoretically ‘work.’ But trust me on this, the circulating enthusiasm around probiotics is misguided. They can work for people early on in cleansing as transition tools but once across the transition bridge in a clean-called body, they won’t be well-received. Kombucha is way, way, way better than a Coke, 7up or Mountain Dew, but probably not better than a sparkling water (which as I’ve said is drinking death b/c you’re drinking carbon dioxide when you drink sparkling water). The intestinal tract needs to be calmed and soothed, not revved up and made more chaotic with bubbles and dubious bacteria.
