SPICY BEET PASTA
“I made this dish for Natalia’s class (Holiday of Power) and have gotten so many emails about the recipe so I am posting it here. The recipe below is the cleanest and most detox friendly especially if you omit the olive oil. You can also use roasted beets that you cut into cubes, skins on or off.” – Doris Choi
INGREDIENTS
4 medium beets, peeled and cut into small cubes
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, optional
1/2 medium red onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
1 lemon, juice and zest
Salt and pepper to taste
2 to 3 zucchini, spiralized or julienned
Handful of torn basil leaves
Handful of mint leaves
METHOD
Lightly steam the beets until al dente (about
5 to 10 minutes in a steamer). Toss the hot beets with
the oil, red onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and
thyme. Add the lemon juice, and season with salt
and pepper as desired. Let sit and marinate for
at least 5 minutes. Toss the marinated beets with
the zucchini spaghetti and top with the basil, mint, lemon
zest, and nutritional yeast or goat feta.

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!

Pumpkin Pie in a Bowl
(Raw, avocado-based)
This is among the recipes that I’m most excited to share with you. Why? Because this utterly delicious soup provides tons of live enzymes in an incredibly digestible form. Neither my clients nor I can get enough of it. It’s all raw, and it supports weight loss and vitality, so enjoy as much of it you like as part of a meal or as a snack.
I found that it’s best to double the recipe when I plan on having more than one or two guests. It may look like a lot, but this soup is so good that you might eat most of it before your guests even arrive.
INGREDIENTS
4 cups fresh carrot juice
1 cup raw sweet potato, peeled and cubed
4 dates, pitted
½ avocado, pitted
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
METHOD
Place all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blender until smooth. Enjoy right away or store in an air-tight container and enjoy within 36 hours
