Winter Raw Food Diet

December 7th, 2010

winter raw food dietI don’t know about you but up here in Toronto we’re in full blown winter. The snow is flying and the temperatures have dropped well below freezing.

So now the challenge is how to continue eating raw foods even in the middle of winter. Is a winter raw food diet feasible?

Don’t get me wrong if you feel like making a warm vegetable soup then by all means go for it. As you know I’m not fanatical about being raw, I just believe you should make the healthiest choices you can, while listening to what your body needs.

Anyways back to this winter raw food diet thing…

Are there certain raw foods that are more “warming” than others? Are there tricks to staying raw in the cold months. Well that’s what I share with you in this video.

Watch and enjoy.

Eating For Energy-Perfect Health Smoothie Benefits

November 3rd, 2010

Response to yesterdays article,”Eating For Energy-Simple Breakfast Idea-Made Simple” created quite a stir at home. Pierrette asked me,”When was the last time you had your kids eating 3 fruit for breakfast?”

The smoothie I told you about yesterday was actually one I created for my daughter. She just had a tooth pulled and needed energy without any danger of getting anything caught in the new hole in her mouth. We all know how kids are, right? This was my chance to make a healthy drink and keep her honest about her commitment to maintain great health. Well, she loved it and she asked me,“Dad, what energy does a smoothie give us?”

Two questions from the inside and many more on the net. I guess many of you need to learn more about breakfast, smoothies, energy.

We often assume and take for granted the knowledge we have learned from our parents and teachers. Our kids should know the benefits of fruit, don’t they? Are your kids getting all the advantages of 3 fruits most days of the week? They should. Having a smoothie in the morning is the best healthy way to ensure the vitamin and mineral content they need to get their day off with a bang. Read the following and learn about the goodness of healthy, raw fruits:http://www.perfectsmoothie.com/benefits-daily-smoothie/

Eating For Energy is all about getting the maximum benefits of the foods you eat without sacrificing taste or any other need you search for in your eating lifestyle.

When people ask me questions about how Pierrette & I do it, to eat all that “stuff” that makes us vibrant and full of energy, they assume we eat all kinds of foods that taste crappy. Little do they know that what we eat always taste great and is fantastic for our health at the same time.

Being in great health should be fun and taste great. If you are sick and tired of feeling “sick and tired”, start with a smoothie fruit mix every-morning and see what happens. The worst thing that can happen is that you will fell better. Take it from us, we now know.

Eating For Energy is all about lifestyle and great healthy living. Join us and be healthy again.

Eating healthy does not have to be complicated. Sometimes we get caught up in the old,”don’t have the time routine”  in the morning. Well let’s keep it as simple as possible.

Here is a great boost to your morning made super easy:

Smoothie 101 made easy: Serves 1

What you need: a blender with just a couple of speeds will do. They are on sale everywhere, all the time.

1 banana, any size will do. A little ripe is best.

1 pear, any size. They are available all over the world most of the year.

1 peach, any size is great. Available in most stores, year round.

Water to taste for smoothie consistency. Please everyone in the family with this ingredient.

1 or 2 cubes of ice. Again this is in order to please everyone. Some like it cooler than others.

Preparation:

  1. Peel the banana(fresh or frozen), cut in bite size pieces and add to the blender.
  2. Peel the pear, cut in two and remove heart, cut in bite size pieces and add to banana in blender.
  3. Peel the peach and cut into bite size pieces, remove the center core, add pieces to the banana and pear in the blender.
  4. Add a little water and ice to taste, temperature and smoothness and “voila“(there you have it).
  5. Sorry, I forgot, turn on the blender just for 1 or 2 minutes.
  6. Serve in a tall glass and enjoy.

Eating For Energy Green Juice Recipe

October 14th, 2010

Eating green and juicing green are two of Pierrette & I’s favorite things. Juicing is easy on the digestive system and helps to lower your heart rate and improve the use of your oxygen levels in your blood stream.

Slowing your body metabolism down by juicing is a great way to energize your day without all the stomach problems involved in digesting whole foods.

Here is a recipe Pierrette invented that satisfies the sweet needs of people that are just starting to green juice. Adding apples and carrots to all your green juices will take some of the “bland” out of  the green taste.

The benefits of juicing green are so important to your health. You have no idea how great you will feel. Enough said, here is the secret drink Pierrette wants to share with you:

Serves 2

Ingredients:

3 medium size carrots

2 medium apples(choose the variety you love most) We buy the ones on special at the time.

1 medium beet (yes uncooked,red secret ingredient)

3 celery stalks17beaae153660e6a_beet-juice

1/2 cucumber

1/4 head of cauliflower

2 tablespoon of ground flax seed

Juice all the ingredients  in your juicer and serve.(add ground flax seed after)

The benefits of juicing are that you get all the nutritional value into your blood stream without all the fiber. Notice all the pulp left over in your Juicer?

Just look at the pulp as part of the price of being healthy. Ask yourself, what would of all that pulp done inside my body and how hard would my digestive system have to work to process all of it?

The start of a child’s day should be memorable. The foods he(she) starts with must do two specific things:

  1. The food choice should be a cleanser to help digestion early in the morning before going off to school or daycare.
  2. The food choice should be rich in vitamins and minerals to prepare and supply the “Energy” needed to sustain attention span throughout the morning.

Here is a smoothie Pierrette just invented and I was so excited about the taste I really needed to share it with all of you right now.

Serves 1:ingredients

1 cup of Red Grape juice

1/2 cup fresh(frozen) blueberriessmoothie bleu

1 whole banana

1 tablespoon ground flax seed

ice

water

Preparation:

Juice fresh Red Grapes in a juicer.

Add the juice and all other ingredients in a blender and add ice and water to the smoothness you like.

P.S. No added anything. This is just pure taste, natural healthy food. Easy to prepare and quick to get everyone off in the morning. Try it and tell Pierrette & I what you think.

P.S.S. Here is a new one to add to your collection Yuri.
