Whole Foods or Whole Paycheck?
2008-04-26 02:21:00
A lot of people jokingly refer to Whole Foods Market as Whole Paycheck because it's so easy to spend a lot of money there. I admit to having spent too much money there in the past. It's so easy because Whole Foods is like Disneyland for health food junkies. There are so many pretty packages of things without high fructose corn syrup, trans fats, pesticides, and dyes that it's hard to resist the temptation to buy. Over time, I've figured out which products I can buy at a "regular" grocery store and which foods I can only find at Whole Paycheck. I also frequent a smaller health food store chain in my area called Lassen's, but they often have moldy food on the shelves and the prices are generally higher than Whole Foods. I buy a lot of my produce at a local organic farmstand that has wonderful, freshly picked organic fruit and vegetables. There are also plenty of farmer's markets in my area. Some supermarkets in the area like Vons and Ralphs are now carrying a lot...
How to Ripen Bananas Quickly
2008-04-25 09:05:00
Need a ripe banana but all you have are green ones? Here's how to ripen them quickly: Place bananas in a paper bag with an apple or a tomato. Fold the bag closed. The ethylene gas in the apple or tomato will cause the bananas to ripen in about 24 hours.
Do Bananas Cure Hangovers?
2008-04-25 04:24:00
Bananas are a popular folk remedy for curing hangovers, but do they really work? Yes. Bananas help your body recover from a hangover for several reasons. Heavy drinking depletes the body of potassium. This draining of potassium is one of the reasons you feel so bad when you have a hangover. Bananas are high in potassium and help to replace the potassium you've lost. Bananas are also high in B6, a vitamin that has been shown in studies to reduce hangover symptoms. In addition, bananas are a natural remedy against heartburn and nausea. Given that bananas work so well for hangovers, drinking a green smoothie with banana and lots of greens would probably be the best thing you could do for your body after a night of too much drinking.

How to Freeze Strawberries
2008-04-25 03:18:00
Since strawberries often go bad before you can eat them all, freezing them is a good way to keep them on hand for smoothies, jam, and other recipes that call for strawberries. I recommend buying only organic strawberries since non organic strawberries are one of the fruits that contain the most pesticide residue. To freeze strawberries, first wash them well and remove the stems and leaves, then pat them dry. You can freeze them whole or slice them before freezing depending on what you plan to use them for. Place strawberries on a cookie sheet with a lip in a single layer and freeze for 24 hours. The reason to freeze them on the cookie sheet for the first 24 hours is so they won't freeze together in a clump. After about 24 hours, move them to plastic freezer bags or an airtight container and keep frozen until ready for use. Related Content How to Freeze Bananas

How to Freeze Bananas
2008-04-25 02:29:00
There's nothing better than frozen bananas. They're a real treat whether you eat them all by themselves as a frozen treat (like I do) or pop them into a smoothie for a cold and creamy texture. So what's the best method for freezing a banana? There are many different ways to do it but my preferred way is to peel the banana, cut it into slices, and put the slices in freezer bags. Freezing sliced bananas is ideal for smoothies because you can just pop the individual frozen slices into the blender one at a time. Of course, you can also freeze the whole peeled banana or even freeze the banana with its peel still on. The peel will turn brown but the inside will be fine. Freezing bananas is a great way to save them before they get overripe. In addition to using them in smoothies, you'll also always have ripe bananas on hand if you want to make banana bread, banana pudding, or any recipe that calls for bananas.

Calories in a Banana
2008-04-25 00:40:00
A lot of people avoid bananas because they think they're high in calories. A medium banana has about 100 calories while a small one has about 80. This isn't much more than most fruits. For example, a medium apple has about 95 calories and a medium pear has about 100 calories. Like other fruits (except avocados and olives) bananas contain no fat. So if you're dieting and avoiding bananas, there's really no reason to. Just be aware that bananas are higher in sugar than other fruits and that like everything else, they should be enjoyed in moderation.

Since I just wrote about green smoothies, I thought I'd give an example of an easy recipe. I love the combination of bananas, strawberries, and collard greens. I use frozen organic strawberries. It's easy to keep frozen berries on hand so you'll always have them ready for your smoothies. Ingredients 1 banana 1 c. water 1 c. strawberries 4 c. collard greens Directions Blend the banana and water. Add the strawberries and blend. Add the collards and blend until smooth. Enjoy!

Green Smoothies
2008-04-24 06:29:00
For a few weeks now I've been drinking a green smoothie every morning for breakfast. Green smoothies are smoothies made with a combination of fruit and greens, usually about 60% fruit and 40% greens. Drinking your greens is a lot easier than chewing them. A lot of dark, leafy greens have tough fiber that's hard for our bodies to break down. By blending them you are basically pre-chewing them and breaking down the fibers in order to release the nutrients and make them more available to your body. For example, it's not easy to eat four cups of collard greens if you have to chew every piece, but blend four cups of collard greens with a banana and some other goodies and you have a delicious drink loaded with nutrients. Four cups of collard greens in a smoothie? That doesn't sound very tasty, you say. But let me tell you that you can't taste the greens at all if you use a banana as the base. I regularly put four cups of collard greens or four cups of Romaine in my smoo...

Women Who Eat Bananas Get More Boys
2008-04-24 05:34:00
A new study has found that women who eat a lot of bananas before conceiving have an increased chance of having boys than their non banana eating counterparts. Researchers say it's because a high potassium diet is linked to having boys. The study also found that women who have a high caloric intake before conceiving have an increased chance of having boys, while women who diet and eat less than average before conceiving have more girls. If that's true, then why does Victoria Beckham have three boys? Related Content Don't Throw Away Those Brown, Overripe Bananas Banana Worm Bread, Anyone?

Don't Throw Away Those Brown, Overripe Bananas
2008-04-24 04:33:00
About to throw away that banana or pear because it's turning brown? Maybe you shouldn't. Research has shown that the antioxidants in fruit increase the longer the fruit is allowed to ripen. It turns out that the brown is a sign that the antioxidant levels have risen. The brown spots occur when the chlorophyll in the fruit begins to break down and turn into powerful antioxidants called nonfluorescing chlorophyll catabolytes (NCCs) that are beneficial to the human body. Perhaps we should take a cue from monkeys, who have no problem eating extremely ripe, bruised bananas. Related Content Women Who Eat Bananas Get More Boys Banana Worm Bread, Anyone?

Collard Greens as Sandwich Wraps
2008-04-24 03:01:00
Whether you're on a raw food diet, a low carb diet, or just want to be healthier and eat more greens, raw collard greens are a great alternative to bread and tortillas. There's a chain of raw food restaurants in Los Angeles called Leaf Cuisine and they use collard greens as wraps. (My favorite is the Mediterranean Medley Wrap.) I hadn't thought of using collards as healthy sandwich wraps before trying the wraps at Leaf, but it's really a great idea. A lot of people use Romaine leaves as wraps but collards work much better because the leaves are large and thick and hold together well. One leaf will wrap around your filling several times. I didn't include collard greens in my diet until recently and I bet many of you don't, either. Collards were something I heard people talk about but they somehow never made it onto my plate. However, I think they're catching on with more people. I've even noticed that my local Vons carries organic collard greens. The health ben...

15 Non Dairy Foods High in Calcium
2008-04-24 01:13:00
Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to drink your milk in order to get your calcium. The government recommendation for adults ages 19-50 is 1000 mg of calcium per day. One cup of milk has 296 mg, but there are plenty of reasons you might not to drink milk, from personal preference to medical reasons. Here are 15 foods high in calcium that don't come from a cow: Sesame Seeds A quarter cup of sesame seeds has 351 mg calcium. Spinach A cup of boiled spinach has 245 mg. Collard Greens A cup of boiled collard greens has 266 mg. Blackstrap Molasses One tablespoon has about 137 mg. Kelp One cup of raw kelp has 136 mg. Tahini Two tablespoons of raw tahini (sesame seed butter) have 126 mg. Broccoli Two cups of boiled broccoli have 124 mg. Swiss Chard One cup of boiled chard has 102 mg.

Chia Gel to Extend and Replace Mayonnaise
2008-04-23 04:13:00
Adding chia gel to mayonnaise in a 1:1 ratio works well to cut down on fat and calories in a recipe. Say your recipe calls for 1/2 cup of mayonnaise. Taking the mayonnaise I have on hand (Spectrum Naturals Organic Mayonnaise) as an example, 1/2 cup has 800 calories and 88 grams of fat. It only takes about 1 tablespoon of chia to make a quarter cup of chia gel if using a 1:4 ratio for a thicker gel. (1 part chia to 4 parts water). 1 tablespoon of chia has about 50 calories and 3 grams of fat. So cut your 1/2 cup of mayo down to 1/4 cup and mix it with 1/4 cup of chia gel. The total calories and fat ends up being 450 calories and 47 grams of fat instead of 800 calories and 88 grams of fat. You just saved 350 calories and 41 grams of fat. This is great news when making anything that calls for a lot of mayo, such as egg salad, tuna salad, or pasta salad. Plus, chia seeds are good for you so you're doing something healthy for your body. Note: using white chia seeds such ...

5 Ways to Eat Healthier for Yourself and the Planet
2008-04-22 13:49:00
In honor of Earth Day, here are five things you can do not just for your health but for the planet, too: Buy Locally Buy produce from local farm stands or farmer's markets whenever possible. The less distance your food has to travel to get to your plate, the better. Also, local food is fresher and the fresher your food, the more nutrients it retains. Eat Seasonally Eat only fruits and vegetables that are in season is a good idea. Produce that is out of season often has to be shipped long distances from other countries in order to get to your local supermarket. Buy Organic Don't buy organic just for your health - buy it for the planet, too. By saying no to chemicals and pesticides, you're saying no to the toxic effects these chemicals have on the land, water, farm workers, wildlife, and human population as a whole. Limit Meat and Dairy Consumption From the land and water resources that are exhausted to the hormones and antibiotics that are pumped into the animals, the t...

10 Health Benefits of Avocados

Here are ten reasons to do just like I do and eat an avocado a day: Prostate Cancer Prevention Avocados have been shown to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer. (reference) Oral Cancer Defense Research has shown that certain compounds in avocados are able to seek out pre-cancerous and cancerous oral cancer cells and destroy them without harming healthy cells. (ref) Breast Cancer Protection Avocado, like olive oil, is high in oleic acid, which has been shown to prevent breast cancer in numerous studies. (ref) Eye Health Avocados have more of the carotenoid lutein than any other commonly consumed fruit. Lutein protects against macular degeneration and cataracts, two disabling age-related eye diseases. (ref) Lower Cholesterol Avocados are high in beta-sitosterol, a compound that has been shown to lower cholesterol levels. In one study, 45 volunteers experienced an average drop in cholesterol of 17% after eating avocados for only one week. (ref) Heart Health One cup of avoca...

Dairy Free Chocolate Pudding Recipe with Chia
2008-04-22 03:00:00
Here's the first dessert recipe I've made using chia gel (Salba gel). I have to say I'm pretty happy with the results. The chia gel gives the pudding a nice, thick consistency, adds mass, and doesn't affect the flavor at all. For this recipe I made the gel in a 1:4 ratio - 1 part chia seed to four parts water. The recipe contains no eggs or dairy and is suitable for vegans. I used coconut milk but you could use soy milk, almond milk, or just water instead. I like coconut milk because it's rich and creamy like milk. The bananas and semi-sweet chips provide enough sweetness for me but you might want it sweeter, so taste the final mix for sweetness and, if necessary, add a bit of your favorite sweetener to taste. Ingredients 2 c. sliced bananas 1/4 c. coconut milk 1/2 c. chia gel or Salba gel (1 part chia to 4 parts water) 1/4 c. almond flour 1 c. semi-sweet dark chocolate chips 1 t. vanilla extract 1 t. almond extract 1/2 t. nutmeg 1/2 t. sea salt Directions Pour hal...

Erythritol Sweetener
2008-04-21 08:40:00
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that is becoming more and more popular as a natural sweetener. It is found naturally in some fruits and fermented foods such as wine, beer, sake, and soy sauce. It is also found in several types of mushrooms. It is about 60% as sweet as sugar, has no calories, does not raise blood sugar levels, and does not cause gas or bloating like other sugar alcohols do. Because it doesn't enter the large intestine like other sugar alternatives, it doesn't cause a laxative effect or gastric distress like other alternative sweeteners do. If someone were to eat excessive amounts, however, there might be a laxative effect. Erythritol has been used in Japan since 1990 but is just catching on as a sweetener in the west. There are several new brands of sweetener on the market that use erythritol. Zsweet is one of the most well-known. I bought some Zsweet and will be trying it out this week in some dessert recipes. I love the fact that it doesn't raise blood...
10 Health Benefits of Glucomannan Powder
2008-04-21 04:38:00
I recently found out about shirataki noodles and the healthy fiber they're made from, glucomannan. It's a powder made from the konjac plant, a type of yam that grows in certain parts of Asia. I'm impressed by the health benefits of glucomannan. Here are ten: Weight Loss Glucomannan is a soluble fiber that absorbs several times its weight in water and forms a gel in the stomach, giving a feeling of fullness, slowing gastric emptying and slowing the digestion of fats. Allergy Relief In mice, glucomannan powder inhibited the development of atopic dermatitis and overproduction of substance P and proinflammatory cytokines. It also inhibited overproduction of IgE, the immunoglobulin that causes most of the body's allergic reactions. (reference) Lung Cancer Prevention Studies in mice indicate that glucomannan powder may have a strong inhibitory effect on lung tumors.

Agave Nectar as a Sweetener
2008-04-21 02:33:00
Agave nectar or syrup is a natural alternative to sugar and other sweeteners. It's made from the agave plant, a type of cactus that grows mainly in Mexico. Most commercial agave is made in Mexico. Agave syrup is popular with raw foodists and vegans because it is raw and does not come from an animal source and is often used as a substitute for honey. Because it's sweeter than other sweeteners, you can't just replace sugar in a recipe with agave at a 1:1 ratio. The general consensus seems to be to replace one cup of sugar in a recipe with 1/3 cup agave syrup. It's also important to be aware of the ratio of liquids in a recipe. You may need to reduce the amount of water or other liquid in the recipe to adjust for the added liquid from the agave. Agave is high in fructose (about 90% fructose) and therefore is lower on the glycemic index than most sweeteners. For this reason, it is often recommended for diabetics. All of this sounds great, right?. However, there is muc...
Side Effects of Glucomannan Powder
2008-04-20 09:44:00
Given the positive health properties of glucomannan powder, you might be wondering if there are any side effects. The only side effect or downside to it that I've found is an increase in intestinal pain and gas that may occur if glucomannan is used by people who are not used to a high fiber diet. There may also be bloating and diarrhea as may occur when suddenly upping one's fiber intake. To avoid these side effects, start out by taking a small amount of glucomannan and gradually increase the dosage. Related Content Glucomannan Powder Shirataki Noodles Make Your Own Shirataki Noodles

Glucomannan Powder
2008-04-20 08:35:00
Glucomannan, the fiber from the konjac plant that is used to make shirataki noodles, can also be purchased as a powder and used as a dietary supplement or as an ingredient in recipes. Like chia, it can be used as a thickener in dishes such as puddings and sauces and can add bulk while replacing fat. Also like chia, glucomannan absorbs several times its weight in water and forms a gel in the stomach when eaten. For this reason, it is beneficial for people trying to lose weight because it keeps you feeling full for a long time. Research into glucomannan has proven that it does indeed promote weight loss. And unlike many other weight loss aids, glucomannan is completely natural and plant-based. Other research has shown that glucomannan regulates blood sugar levels by delaying stomach emptying and controlling the rate at which sugar is absorbed. Study participants who included glucomannan in their meals maintained lower after-meal blood sugar levels than those who didn't. I'...

Shirataki Noodles
2008-04-20 05:55:00
I grew up in a household that had pasta in some form or other for dinner at least four times per week. I love pasta but I now limit my consumption of it not just because it's high in calories, but because most pasta is made from white, processed flour that is pretty worthless from a nutritional standpoint. But there's nothing like a big, heaping plate of penne or linguine, is there? Enter shirataki noodles. Though I didn't know about them until about four days ago, they've been growing in popularity among the low carb and diet crowd for a couple of years now. They are a Japanese noodle made from the root of the Konjac plant, a kind of yam. They have no net carbs, no calories, no sugar, and no gluten. The flour made from the root of the Konjac plant is called glucomannan. In clinical trials, glucomannan has been shown to help people lose weight by forming a gel in the stomach and helping a person maintain a sense of fullness.

Chia or Salba as a Gluten Free Flour Substitute
2008-04-19 06:56:00
Chia not only works as an egg substitute, but it also works as a flour substitute, which makes it ideal for people with gluten intolerance and celiac disease or people who are limiting their wheat intake for other reasons. I've seen two different methods described for using chia as a flour substitute. The first is to simply replace the flour in any recipe with equal parts chia flour or chia mixed with another gluten-free flour. The second method does not eliminate the flour altogether but reduces it by using 3 parts flour to 1 part ground chia or Salba . So, if the recipe calls for 1 cup flour you would use 3/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup chia. To make chia flour, you can grind chia in a coffee grinder or powerful blender such as the Vitamix. Now, what I'm wondering is what would happen if one replaced both the eggs and flour with chia in the same recipe ...

Here's good news for vegans or anyone else who doesn't include eggs in their diets: chia or Salba gel can be used as an egg substitute in any recipe. To replace one egg, mix 2 tablespoons of chia with half a cup of cold water. This makes 1/4 c. of chia gel. This is a different ratio of chia to water than is used in the basic chia gel recipe.

How to Make Chia Gel or Salba Gel
2008-04-19 03:49:00
I've been experimenting with chia over the past week. It's quite a strange and interesting thing. Watching it turn into "chia gel" after letting it soak in water for half an hour is akin to watching some weird alien seeds from outer space transform into the blob. When people say it turns into a thick gel, they aren't kidding. Not that this is a bad thing. I can see now why chia will be a great tool for making healthy desserts like pudding and pies. I plan to make Chocolate Chia Pudding this weekend. To make your own chia blob, just add 9 parts water or liquid to 1 part Salba or chia seed. This is the ratio for a basic chia gel. The reason for the 9:1 ratio is that chia seed absorbs 9 times its weight in water. To make a thicker or thinner gel, just add more or less liquid. I recommend using a glass jar with a lid just because I try to avoid putting food in plastics as much as possible, especially liquids. After adding the water, place the lid on, shake it, and pl...

Chia Seed vs. Salba
2008-04-18 07:52:00
In my research into chia (Salvia hispanica) I've come across an issue that has sparked much discussion on the Internet. There seems to be some confusion and disagreement over whether chia is the same thing as Salba , a brand of white chia seed produced by a Toronto-based company of the same name. I found a website where people are discussing the issue. It's an informative read. On the site, a representative from Salba says that their brand of chia includes two registered varieties of chia that have patents pending: Sahi Alba 911 and Sahi Alba 912. She also claims that these two varieties are the only ones on which clinical studies into the health benefits of chia have been done. Now, this seems a bit dishonest. Dr. Wayne Coates of the University of Arizona is considered the world expert on chia seeds. He has done extensive research into chia and co-authored a book called Chia : Rediscovering a Forgotten Crop of the Aztecs. In one interview, Dr. Coates was asked to give ...

Spicy Nacho Cheese Chips (Raw, Dairy free)

This recipe for a raw, dairy-free, vegan spicy nacho "cheese" sauce is great tossed with zucchini noodles to make raw vegan "mac and cheese" and I've also been using it lately to make spicy nacho cheese chips in my food dehydrator. I use 90,000 hu ("heat units") cayenne pepper which makes this just spicy enough for me but probably too spicy for most people, so if you want to cool it down just use less cayenne or use a lower heat unit cayenne. (Most cayenne pepper found in stores is 30,000 hu. You can find 90,000 hu cayenne in ethnic or health food stores.) Ingredients 2 c. red bell pepper 1/4 cup sunflower seeds 3 T. nutritional yeast 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. cumin 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper 1 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic 1 tsp onion powder Process all ingredients in a food processor.

15 Facts About Chia Seeds
2008-04-10 03:16:00
When you think of the word "chia" you probably think of chia pets. That's what came to mind when I first heard about it (for good reason - chia pets are grown with chia seeds). I didn't pay much attention to it and walked by the bags of it for sale in Whole Foods without a second thought. It turns out I was walking past a newly rediscovered "superfood." I say "rediscovered" because chia was prized as a superfood for thousands of years before it was nearly forgotten. Here are 15 facts I found out about chia: The chia plant (Salvia hispanica), sometimes referred to as chia sage, originated in the central valley of Mexico and is a member of the mint family. Records indicate chia seeds were used as a food source as far back as 3500 B.C. It was the third most important crop for the Aztecs, who recognized it as a "superfood" and prized it so highly that it was often used as currency. Aztec warriors and runners are believed to have sustained themselves for an entire day on...
