Beet & Cinnamon Ice Cream (Protein based)
I’ll admit that this is a bit out there… but beet and cinnamon is actually a really awesome combination!
I made this with goat milk but raw goat kefir is probably ideal.
I like the goaty taste to it since beets and chevre is such a classic combo.
The cinnamon just slams that beet taste home!
This was a bit of an experiment so the measurements are to taste.
Just remember as you’re making it, it should taste a bit too sweet, almost cloying since it will be less so when cold.
Ingredients
2 cups of roasted beets
3 cups of goat milk (or goat kefir)
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
½ cup agave nectar
stevia
Method
I took 2 cups of roasted beets, pureed it with 3 cups of goat milk, tablespoon of cinnamon, ½ cup agave nectar and stevia for extra boost. I also ran it through an ice cream maker this time….

Eight Essential Properties of Cleansing Foods
#7 GRAIN-FREE
While grain has been heralded in our culture as a key food group, even the whole-grain variety is not very good for us.
With a few exceptions (which I’ll get to in a moment), most grains are inflammatory in the body, acidic, gluey, yeast-feeding, and difficult to digest. They agitate the intestine, resulting in inflammation, bloating, and fluid imbalances, and contribute greatly to weight gain.
They also reduce mental clarity.
Thus, generally speaking, grains are not an ideal go-to food in the modern diet.
If you love grains and must have them, that’s okay. But if you want superior health, energy, and weight loss, you should avoid a grain-based diet.
Also, keep in mind that sprouted grains are far superior to regular whole grains.
The highest-quality grains are the ancient pseudo-grains, which are gluten-free and easier to digest than cereal grains but do have a similar nutritional profile.
These include millet, quinoa, buckwheat, and amaranth.
Typically, some grains can be included with successful detoxification results, but it is best to avoid them whenever possible and to find nongrain options for your favorite grain-based foods.
Fortunately for all of us, Chef Doris has discovered many brilliant and satisfying ways of doing this in her recipes.

THE RAW FOOD DETOX DIET IS ABOUT MORE THAN WHAT YOU EAT
While there is no doubt that our bodies need lots of motion, flexing, and fluidity for optimum performance, those of you who think you have to be a slave to an exercise regimen are in for the best news of your life: you can reach your perfect shape without any formal exercise when you apply the steps in the Raw Food Detox Diet.
Your skin tone will also improve because your cells are going to become healthier and tighter. Most of my Manhattan clients do a little more than the normal to-and-fro walking that the city demands.
Cleaning your body is likely going to trigger a desire to clear and cleanse your living space to reflect the inner cleansing that is taking place. You are more than likely going to feel inspired to create more clarity in your communications with others and live from a more honest space.
With this inner cleansing will come a greater sense of confidence in yourself and honor for your fellow man.
On a more physical level, you are going to experience greater levels of wellness and be less dependent on medications and fears relating to illness. Once you experience life at this level, it’s unlikely that you’ll want to go back to your previous habits.
You will achieve fast results that will last—even improve—over a lifetime.
Detoxifying the body through raw foods is a way of living. The goal is not to detox and then “retox,” but rather to learn how to love eating for constant improvement, reaching higher and higher levels of health and leanness.
One of the legion problems with traditional diets is that no one wants to maintain them long term. While the Raw Food Detox Diet starts to work as early as your first meal, it’s created to offer the best living experience available, so that you’ll want to make this your permanent lifestyle.
