Nothing says summer like pina colada smoothies. A Pina Colada smoothie is a wonderfully refreshing drink on a warm summer day! You can also prepare it in less than 15 minutes. Consider adding a scoop of your favorite vanilla plant protein for a filling meal. The recipe works best in a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix (what I use) or Nutribullet. Also, using high-quality coconut water such as Harmless Harvest makes a big difference in the flavor. I like to keep the Costco frozen pineapple on hand for smoothies which make this smoothie super quick to prepare. Ingredients: 1 cup coconut water (Harmless Harvest is my…

Are there health issues from drinking milk? Cow's milk specifically. Contrary to the billions of dollars the dairy industry paying actors and models drinking cow's milk, it doesn't do a body good. Here are just a few reasons why cow’s milk may not be a good option for our families and why you might want to take a closer look if it's used by your family. 1. Growth Hormones Hormones such as rBGH and rBST are genetically engineered hormones that are injected into cows to make them produce more milk. This causes problems in the milk and stimulates the production of the AGF-1 hormone. IGF-1 promotes cell division,…

Avocado Cumin Dressing I made this tonight and fell in love! I left it thicker and used it as a sandwich spread, organic corn chip dip, and a salad dressing. It contains six simple ingredients that most of us have on hand. Avocados are a staple in our home. Ingredients: 1 avocado 1 tsp cumin 2 tbsp lime juice 1 tbsp olive oil 1/2 tsp dijon mustard 1 clove garlic Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 - 1 cup of water Directions: Add all ingredients to a food processor. Add the amount of water that meets your desired consistency. I added a little less than 1/2 cup of…

Crockpot pork tortilla soup is great way to use any leftover meats. You can add an extra can of beans or make it vegan. I had leftover pork roast so this worked really well! *Remember when cooking with garlic, chop it first as you want it to rest for 10 minutes before cooking. This allows the beneficial allicin to form and will remain intact during cooking. As always, use organic ingredients when possible, especially with animal products. We are fortunate to have a local farmer that provides chicken, eggs, and pork using non-GMO, organic farming methods. Ingredients 1 Tbsp coconut oil 1/2 cup chopped onion 3 cloves minced…

12 Natural Solutions for Allergies and Asthma

I suffered from severe seasonal allergies and asthma for years. My symptoms ranged from annoying to debilitating at times. I had itchy eyes, a runny nose, and a fogged brain. I was just plain miserable! Sound familiar? I went the conventional treatment route, but the side effects were as bad if not worse than the side effects of allergies/asthma. As of today, I have not used a conventional allergy medication or my inhaler for 15 plus years! How did I do it? It may be hard to believe, but I simply eliminated the foods in my diet that created inflammation and supported my immune system. The most important…

Who says eating healthy is bland, difficult, or boring? Pistachio Non-Dairy Ice Cream is heavenly. I love pistachios. So paring them with frozen bananas to make what I call "nice cream" is delightful. This recipe is so simple, delicious, and can be a bit addictive. The recipe is from the Hungrier for Health recipe book and I made a few adjustments to it as it called for using a juicer (which I don't have). The recipe book contains 127 recipes that are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, kosher, and delicious. This is an excellent resource if you know someone with cancer or other chronic diseases. The author is Susan Silberstein,…

A Covid Catastrophe

Is this a Covid Catastrophe? I implore you to watch the following science-based – non-opinion videos regardless of how you feel about vaccines. I think we can all agree that this pandemic (so-called) has caused all of us to think more seriously about our immune health, how quickly this vaccine for Covid-19 was rolled out, and what effects it may have on us both now and in the future. I’ve watched and listened to so many perspectives on Covid. However, the interview I watched yesterday was so eye-opening and riveting that I felt called to share it exclusively. The interviewer is Dr. Philip McMillion and the interviewee is…

Red lentil sloppy joes are a nutritious and economical dish but most importantly they taste amazing. Red lentils are rich in iron, fiber, selenium, zinc, carbohydrates, protein, and vitamin B1. Plus, they’re an excellent source of phosphorus, manganese, and folic acid. Unlike other legumes, lentils cook in about 30 minutes and don't require soaking so you can make a healthy meal when you are short on time. Ingredients: 1 tbsp of coconut oil or vegetable broth 1 red bell pepper finely chopped 2 garlic cloves minced 1 medium onion chopped (approx 2/3 cup) 2 tbsp tomato paste 1 bay leaf 8 ounces tomato sauce 1 1/2 cups of…
