Super Spirulina

Spirulina is a microalgae and contains 60-70% complete protein, while meat only contains 25%. Spirulina is a vegetarians best friend along with anyone who needs to balance their blood sugar level. Spirulina helps fight off cravings and aid in weight loss because it's high nutritional value. Spirulina also heals and cleanses and is the best wake up call! put the coffee aside and add a teaspoon of Spirulina to a glass of orange juice instead :)

EAT WITH THE SEASON

Summer is the time to flourish, an opportunity of growth. With all the fresh raw fruits and vegetables that are available to us, it is up to us to honour our bodies with nutrients that are provided by mother nature.  Help your lymph glands remove toxins that have been agglomerated over time by drinking lots of water. Accumulate new energy around you, consolidate with the people you love and start new life-affirming experiences. Summer is a season to challenge yourself to developing a firm eating regime specifically for your body’s unique design. Discover what your body has been trying to communicate.  Garnish your food with enchanted herbs and eat fresh fruits and vegetables that will deliver spirituality and integrate your body with your psyche. Summer is a season to eat juicy foods, to acknowledge your advancements and target your life purpose.  Motion your focus to how bountiful this time of year is for the variety of food grown.  Take this opportunity to unblock any barriers in the body with high vibrational food, allowing the energy to flow freely.  To become conscious of mental and emotional blocks we have experienced and unhealthy patterns we have overcome.  This is the perfect time of year to befriend your local farmers, educate yourself and become involved in your health and community. Eating fresh vibrational foods helps to build your confidence and knowledge of your true self. In order to reach this avenue you must become aware of signs and patterns. Remember to eat mindfully and pay attention to how you feel when you eat your food. Drink lots of water, get plenty of exercise, eat only when hungry and chew your food well to absorb all the nutrients available in your food for energy.
Summer foods include:
Fruit: watermelon, apricots, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, grapes, lemons, limes, mangoes, melon, oranges, peaches, pears, plums, raspberries, papaya, cantaloupes.
Vegetables: Asparagus, corn, tomatoes, artichoke, beets, cabbage, peppers, celery, chives, cucumber, eggplant, green beans, green peas, parsley, radish zucchini, rhubarb, spinach, sugar peas
Make sure to include your sprouted grains and legumes, nuts and seeds for its fiber, protein and essential fatty acids. Juice your fruits and vegetables for better digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Include an assortment of salads with homemade dressings, ask lots of questions and build a support group.  Advance your knowledge and share the wealth! Prepare for the Autumn season and start building up your reserves.

Energy

Energy is the essence of our being and the food we eat is one of the elements that creates this energy. If their are deficiencies it can create blocks and deprive us of optimal health. Every thought, emotion and action is radiating energy from your personal energy field. This is why we are all connected on an inner level and our environment. Our energy will always seek health. We are responsible of our health and in any creation of illness. Disease is an opportunity to learn about oneself, grow and then move forward. This has to do with facing our fears and the biggest fear of all which is change. Any change requires the release of negativity. Open up to truth, face your fears and love one self.

Take Action.

BUCKWHEAT

Buckwheat has the bioflavinoid rutin, which helps strengthen circulation. A good food to have in your diet if you suffer from varicose veins.

Buckwheat is a non-wheat grain. It is known as kasha when roasted and a great breakfast food. Buckwheat  is also commonly found in pancake recipes:)

Buckwheat contains a good amount of fiber, b-vitamins and is high in potassium and is acceptable during a Candida diet.

How to cook: Rinse. 1 cup of buckwheat to 2 cups of water, bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 min. Enjoy fried up with onions and garlic as a side dish with vegetables or add to salads. For breakfast I like to have it with almond milk, cinnamon and a teaspoon of maple syrup :)

peace + love,

Amaranth

Amaranth is gluten-free and highly nutritious. Amaranth contains more protein than any other gluten-free grain. It is also a good source of dietary fiber, iron and magnesium.

1 cup = 28.1 grams of protein.

You can toast amaranth and add to cereal for that extra crunch or add it to a muffin reciepe. You can cook amaranth 1:3 with water, bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 min. add some maple syrup, cinammon, walnuts or molasses with pear slices and eat for breakfast. Boil Amaranth with stock and ginger root and eat with a a rainbow of vegetables or add to salads.

Amaranth is very strengthening to the lungs, a good detox food. Also, amaranth has more calcium and magnesium than cow's milk! boo to moo!

Variety = Abunance of Nutrients

Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds are abundant in minerals. Sesame seeds are an excellent source of calcium. They are also high in zinc, copper, magnessium, phosphorus and potassium. Additionally, sesame seeds are a source of iron and tryptophan. Tryptophan is an amino acid and is the key ingredient in making serotonin, which is good for memory and regulating mood.

Add Sesame seeds to salads, bean dishes, whole grain pasta dishes or shakes. Sesame seeds need to be chewed well or grinded into a powder form in order to digest and assimilate effectively.

SPRING IS THE SEASON OF NEW BEGININGS
Spring is the time to cleanse the old and bring in the new. Allow major changes to take place, constructive ones. Creative thinking should be stimulated and spirituality heightened. Time to get rid of toxins accumulated over the winter of undigested food, pollution and emotional stress. Cleansing and healing of the heart and body will be nourished.
A perfect time to start an eating regime, balancing the body, increasing chakra vibrations, improving skin, self- esteem, hormone balancing and correcting deficiencies. A time to rebuild the body. A time to connect with the angelic realm, clear any blocks and build an awareness of self.

WHY NUTRITONAL CONSULTATIONS CHANGE LIVES

WHY NUTRITONAL CONSULTATIONS CHANGE LIVES
Diet improvement is a major weapon for healing the body, disease prevention and treatment. With the epidemic rate of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer
this is more than motivation to seek advice.

It's up to the nutritionist to educate, motivate and empower the client to assume more responsibility for his or her own wellness. By employing a healthy attitude,wholesome habits, and flourishing a lifestyle with positive diet transformations. Working together to manifest health, and build your body for optimum healing.

Holistic Nutrition consultations also focus on body, mind and spirit. All areas of your life need to be balanced for a healthy lifestyle. This includes, meditation, yoga, excercising and chakra health.

It's time to rebuild your body. Your opportunity to learn, to listen to the expression of your bodies symptoms. Exploring specific areas that are in need for rebalancing by rooting out nutritional causes of the problem or deficiencies. No one answer's fit everyone's needs. It is only by assessing each body system of every client individually. Nourish your body with nutrition and beccome aware of your health and body.

Love and Light,
Jennifer

EGGPLANT

Eggplant is high inCalcium, magnesium, iron, folic acid and Vitamin A + C. Eggplant contains no fat. If frying be careful as eggplant is like a sponge and will soak up a lot of oil. Good idea to bake eggplant.

Babaganoush

2 or 3 cups eggplants peeled and chopped
1/2 cup of parsley
2tbsp of tahini
pinch cumin
pinch cayenne (optional)
2 garlic cloves
sea salt
lemon

Blend all ingredients and enjoy with veggie sticks or pita bread:)

NUTRITIONAL YEAST

Nutritional yeast is a nutritional supplement high in B vitamins. A good food source of B12 for Vegans. A healthy alternative seasoning with no cholesterol or sodium. It is well know to be used on popcorn. I add it to all kinds of dishes like pasta, veggies add dips. It is an inactive yeast so It doesn't grown in your intestines and rob you of beneficial nutrients like actives yeasts  that are found in beer and wine. Bragg carries nutritional yeast seasoning that comes in a shaker.

Saute some garlic in olive oil
add asparagus
nutritional yeast (desired amount)
sea salt
optional crushed pepper flakes
optional  Seaweed Gomasio

YUM!!!
