Vegetable Salad Recipes—Easy Healthy Recipes—Raw Food Diet Menu—Healthy Salad Dressing Recipes—Raw Food Weight Loss—

Ummm…have you ever seen a zucchini so large?

? Zucchorny Salad! ?

* I n g r e d i e n t s *
—all quantities are up to you!—
— Zucchinis / Courgettes
— Raw Corn on the Cob (yes, totally raw, NOT even so much as lightly steamed…although if you need to steam them, we won’t tell anyone…)
— Cherry Tomatoes
— Beefsteak Tomatoes
— Leeks
— Fresh Dill
— 1 Lime
— 1 Avocado

* P r e p a r a t i o n *
— 1) Using your food processor’s shredder blade, make zucchini (aka courgette) “noodles.” The Cuisinart I use: http://bit.ly/y7RO7

— 2) Slice corn off of the cobs, and mix together with the cherry tomatoes & the zucchini noodles you just made in a large serving bowl.

— 3) For the dressing, roughly chop the beefsteak tomatoes as well as the leeks, and toss them along with the fresh dill into your Vita-Mix, or other high-powered blender of your choice. The Vitamix I use: hhttp://bit.ly/X81Uu (If desired, you can toss some of the chopped leeks directly into your salad)

— 4) Use a manual citrus juicer or a citrus hand juicer to squeeze the juice of the lime over everything in the Vitamix. You can find manual citrus juicers here: http://bit.ly/4isIOU

— 5) Roughly chop the avocado into the Vitamix as well, and blend until desired consistency is reached.

— 6) Drizzle salad dressing over salad or serve on the side, and enjoy!

* I n s p i r a t i o n *
— When you add ingredients to your Vitamix or blender, think of adding the moister, juicier ingredients towards the bottom…this will allow your blender to blend everything more smoothly, and much more easily! For example, I always put my tomatoes in the bottom…and I never put avocados in first!

— I don’t eat a lot of onions, leeks & garlic, etc., as I’ve been becoming more and more sensitive to them, the more fruitarian I eat…i.e., the more fruit I eat. I’m getting more sensitive to foods in general, and my consciousness says that these foods will one day not be part of my diet at all…that I’ll be focusing more on foods like cucumbers, watermelons, soft & tender leafy greens, etc. Just really simple, clean eating! With low metabolic wastes…

— Foods like onions and garlic have ‘plant protectants’ in them, so it takes more energy & work for your body to process them. You have to continually use alkaline minerals to neutralize the stimulating properties of these foods. These foods are classified as “rajasic” in the Hindu system of traditional medicine called Ayurveda, which includes foods that are bitter, sour, salty, pungent, hot and/or dry, and are thought by some to promote sensuality, greed, jealousy, anger and delusion. Yeah, I think I’m pretty much over those feelings, but I definitely will admit they were a big part of my life in the past (as many of you know, I had a rough childhood and a rocky, unstable time well into & throughout my 20’s.)

— Today, I’m leaning more towards a ’sattvic’ way of eating, which in Ayurveda refers to foods that are fresh, juicy, light, nourishing & tasty, and thus give necessary energy to the body and help achieve balance. Does that sound good to you too? ;)

— The winter is fast approaching and we will be hitting the road as soon as we can’t stand how cold it has become. We do find it is nice right now to just be able to ‘chill’ and work on building up this YouTube channel as well as our website (which someday we will release, and only God knows when!) without any distractions from the road.

— That being said, once we do get out of here we will be coming to a town near you! Well, on the west coast first at least! Let us know if you are located anywhere from Washington State down to Southern California and over to Arizona (but not too far from the main roads), and would like to see us swing by! Before inviting us anywhere, please DO keep keep in mind our RV is 40-feet long, alright?? ;-)

— Also, once we hit the road, prepare to see this channel turn into something along the lines of a raw vegan adventure channel, with an educational twist & a focus on love…camping, hiking, hot springing, etc….so who knows what adventures the road will bring us! We will try to throw up more videos on the road, but will just leave Krista’s notes out on the adventure-type ones so we can get more of them up quickly for you to enjoy! So…what do you guys think? We would love to hear your thoughts & ideas! ;)

You are gonna love this
yummy & delicious
recipe for vegetable soup!

? Garden Fresh ‘n’ Easy Vegetable Soup Recipe ?

* I n g r e d i e n t s *
…..All quantities in this recipe are up to you! Use your intuition. ;-)
— 1 Young Coconut (coconut water)
— Tomatoes, roughly chopped
— Carrots, roughly chopped (fresh from the garden if possible…including the green carrot tops!)
— Peas, shelled
— Fresh Wild Lamb’s Quarters Herbs, with leaves torn off of stems
— Bok Choy Flowers (if you have your garden, you can get these)
— 1 Lime
— Broccoli Florets
— Lettuce
— Red Chard, with leaves torn off of stems
— Kale, with leaves torn off of stems
— Collard Greens, with leaves torn off of stems
— Yellow Zucchini (or green, if yellow is not available), chopped into rounds

* P r e p a r a t i o n *
— 1) Open the young coconut—refer to this video if you need help: http://bit.ly/u9Q4j —and pour its water into your Vita-Mix, or other high-powered blender of your choice. http://bit.ly/GZsuq or http://bit.ly/3OTXD9

— 2) Add chopped tomatoes & carrots, along with the green carrot tops if you were lucky enough to get your carrots fresh from your garden, followed by the shelled peas, the leaves of the wild lambs quarters and the bok choy flowers, if you were able to get some from your garden.

— 3) Using a manual citrus juicer, a citrus hand juicer, or just your hands, squeeze the juice of one lime over the top. As your blender probably has no more room to add the rest of your ingredients, lightly blend for a few seconds to make some room on top for the rest.

— 4) Once you’ve made some room, add the broccoli florets, followed by all your leafy greens: lettuce, chard, kale & collard greens (make sure that you first tore of all the leaves from the thick stems…you can either add the stems to your compost, run them through your garbage disposal, or throw them away)

— 5) Blend everything up in your Vita-Mix, but not too much, as you’ll want to leave some texture behind. Then, transfer the soup to individual soup bowls.

— 6) Take the chopped zucchini rounds and place around the inside of all the soup bowls and/or you can serve them on the side.

— 7) Serve…and enjoy!

*** Motivation & Inspiration ***
— Whatever your line of work, think of helping people first, and then make money. Don’t think about how you can make money, and then help people. You want to bring the TRUE compassion to your work.

— Do yourself and your loved ones a favor…do NOT be militant in your approach to eating well and being healthy.

— Just be a good person, develop your art, and they will come to you. Be friends first, and THEN offer your products and services….not the other way around. ;-)

? Young Coconut Celery Cucumber Spinach Green Juice ?

**BONUS HEALTHY SALAD RECIPE!**
When you have good spinach on hand, chop it up with some chopped red peppers, then squeeze lime juice over the top: it is the most delicious fat free salad you could ever have. :D

* I n g r e d i e n t s *
— 1 Thai Young Coconut (Coconut Water)
— 1 head of Celery
— 1 Cucumber (unpeeled if organic, peeled if inorganic)
— 1 bunch of Spinach (organic is vital here…only get it if it looks vibrant and fresh!)

* P r e p a r a t i o n *
— 1) Open young coconut to get coconut water out ~ watch this video if you need help: http://bit.ly/u9Q4j

— 2) Run celery, cucumber and spinach through your Breville juicer, or whatever the best juicer is for you. http://bit.ly/mIrEW

— 3) Combine juice with the coconut water and add ice, if desired.

— 4) Enjoy!

* I n s p i r a t i o n *
— I love fruits and vegetables…so I feel more like a fruit and vegetable teacher, than a raw food teacher! :D

— The Truth is in between the words. On your spiritual journey, you will soon wake up to realize that you do not know ANYTHING. Or, you may already be aware of this right now. :D

— Fruits, vegetables and herbs are for so many different types of people: they are for athletes, they are for people who want to lose weight, they are for people who like to meditate, they are for those who need to heal up chronic and degenerative diseases… basically, they are for everyone!

— The *life force* inside of you is what shines, and is what is most attractive in others. Fruits and vegetables simply allow you to exude this life force energy more easily and freely than dead, cooked and/or processed foods. You literally are what you eat!

— Do the work now! Plant the seeds, read the spiritual books, apply the teachings of the nutrition, practice meditation, kindness, forgiveness & patience… and most importantly, practice stopping the ego from reacting and wasting your precious energy! If you are unable to stop the ego, at the very least just observe it doing what it does with awareness…but do not judge! Just be aware. Awareness is always the first step… :D

Easy Healthy Recipes *
Carrot Recipes *
Raw Food Weight Loss *
Raw Food Diet Menu *

? Mixed Veggie Carrot Cabbage Corn Salad Recipe with
Homemade Healthy Tomato Citrus Salad Dressing ?

* I n g r e d i e n t s *
For the SALAD:
— 1 head of Cabbage, cut into 4-8 large chunks that can fit through your food processor
— Leftover Salad from Last Night (whatever kind that might be!)
— 4-6 Carrots (unpeeled if organic, or peeled if inorganic)
— 2-4 cobs of Corn

For the DRESSING:
— 5 cloves of Garlic
— 2-4 Tomatoes
— 3 Limes

* P r e p a r a t i o n *
— 1) Using your food processor’s chopper blade attachment, run the cabbage through your food processor, followed by last night’s leftover salad, and then transfer everything to a serving bowl or platter.

— 2) Switching to the shredder blade of your food processor, run the carrots through, then toss over the rest of your salad.

— 3) Slice the corn off of the cobs, and then layer over the carrots.

— 4) To make the dressing, roughly chop the tomatoes, and along with the 5 cloves of garlic toss them into your Vita-Mix blender, or other high-powered blender of your choice. http://bit.ly/GZsuq or http://bit.ly/3OTXD9

— 5) Use a manual citrus juicer or a citrus hand juicer to squeeze the juice of the limes into the Vita Mix as well.

— 6) Blend until desired consistency is reached.

— 7) Drizzle dressing over salad or offer it on the side…your lunch or dinner is now served; enjoy!

* I n s p i r a t i o n *
— I feel overtaken by love for all of you! This is a dream come true to be able to share what’s in my heart with you. I almost feel engulfed in the fire of love. I feel so happy!

— There is a difference between stimulated & nervous energy, versus a more chill, but powerful dynamic energy. Dynamic energy is a living, cellular energy that people can pick up on when you walk into a room. It is a more subtle form of energy, like a peaceful illumination of your inner being. CAUTION: As we raise up the inner energy, we may find ourselves having to deal with obstructive energies such as fear, anger and greed (the “welfare” emotions).

— I do like carrots, but on the whole I don’t like to eat too many other root vegetables. I find that if I consume too much of them, that it brings me ‘down’ too far in the earth, for they are very elemental, grounding, rooting…all good qualities for sure, but only in moderation.

— You’ve probably noticed by now that unlike many other raw food chefs or teachers, I do not like to dehydrate anything. Krista and I gave our dehydrator away long ago! However, it was helpful for me when I first went raw as I was able to make some tasty things…but I also simply did not know any better at that time. ;)

— For on the whole, I have observed that consuming dehydrated foods literally dehydrates you and sucks water out of you, as your body looks to replace the water that was taken out of the foods so that it can actually digest them! Also, dehydration leads to inflammation…so if you want to instead be beautiful with nice, vibrant and soft skin, then consume a hydrating diet of high-water fruits and vegetables! By the way, you may find yourself needing to drink less water overall as you’ll be getting so much more water from the fruits and vegetables…this is entirely normal, and puts a whole new spin on the “How much water should I be drinking every day for health?” conundrum…

— On this path of true health that we are all on together, we need to support each other! We need to spread this message of love, truth and unity to everyone, starting with our close friends and family members.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT FAST on a RAW FOOD DIET with the BENEFITS OF JUICING

November 11, 2009 - 3:52 pm 26 Comments

More FREE JUICER RECIPES to help w/ your RAW FOOD WEIGHT LOSS! ;)
http://LIFE-REGENERATOR.com *
http://DONATE.life-regenerator.com *
http://SHOP.life-regenerator.com *

? POMEGRANATE JUICE with Orange Juice & Watermelon Fruit Juice ?

* I n g r e d i e n t s *
— 1 Seedless Watermelon (personal sized) Leave the peel ON, if organic!
— 2 Oranges
— 1 Pomegranate (seeds from)

* P r e p a r a t i o n *
— 1) To seed the pomegranate, first score it with a knife & break it open. Next, separate the seeds (which are really seed casings called “arils”) from the peel & pulp membranes. Hint: if you do this in a bowl of water, then the seeds will sink, while the pulp will float!

— 2) Slice the watermelon into large chunks that will still be able to fit through your juicer (leaving the peel ON if organic!), and slice the peel off of the oranges, but do leave a good amount of pith behind as there are a lot of nutrients in it.

— 3) Then, simply run all 3 of these ingredients through your Breville juicer, or whatever the best juicer is for you. http://JUICER.life-regenerator.com

— 4) Add ice if desired, and enjoy!

* I n s p i r a t i o n *
— Krista & I are dedicating this video to crosspecans, aka Susan in Texas! She needed help in explaining to her husband exactly WHY juicing is so important & as this is a good topic for ALL of us, then what could be better than making another vid? ;)

— As we just made a fruit juice, let’s start w/ those benefits: First, kids AND adults are going to love at least 1 kind of fruit juice! Fruit juices energize our cells & flush cellular wastes away, loosening our lymphatic system, while energizing our nervous system & brain, whose preferred fuel by the way just happens to be simple sugars like those found in fruit! ;)

— Then, there are the green juices: they have the alkalinity & neutralization powers to ease all the acidic conditions in our guts & throughout our bodies. Remember: Acidosis = Disease, but Alkalinity = Health!

— When we want weight loss & health, the beauty of juicing allows us to easily absorb more nutrients & minerals w/ less energy output. When we have fiber in our food—& YES, this is still the normal way for us to continue to eat!—it takes more systemic energy to continue peristalsis almost 24/7. So if you’re in a situation where you need to ‘undo’ excess weight gain &/or allow your body to rid itself of various diseases / ailments brought on by years of unhealthy habits, it’s been shown time & time again how effective juicing is in giving one’s body an added boost of straight-up infusion of nutrients that it needs, as well as lots of living water to help break up accumulations throughout the body, all while FREEING UP ENERGY THAT IT WOULD’VE PUT TOWARDS DIGESTION, BUT NOW GOES TOWARDS CLEANSING & DETOXING ONE’S CELLS & TISSUES, & TO ELIMINATING ANY EXCESS WEIGHT &/OR DEAD & DISEASED CELLS + TOWARDS ENERGIZING THE BRAIN & TO HEALING ONE’S ORGANS & GLANDS. People don’t realize HOW much energy it takes 4 our bodies to digest food! Roughly 1/3 of the calories we take in as food are used to digest that very same food! I know, some may think that’s great (wow! I’m burning calories!), but ACTUALLY if given a chance the body really wants to use extra energy towards detox… ESPECIALLY if one is carrying around vast amts of excess weight, which is actually TOXINS that the body hasn’t been able to eliminate.

— Eating whole foods and chewing is still important! But remember, juicing is a modality of HEALING & of a way to more quickly & effectively regain one’s health!

— Juicing allows us to lose weight, heal disease, energize ourselves before & after workouts, & it is a fun & delicious way to consume more fruits & veggies! I don’t know anyone who can really sit down & eat a whole head of celery! But I sure can juice all that up & so get ALL of that nutrition, minerals & alkalinity infused straight into my cells that I wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. Also, if I were to chew all of that celery (not to mention the other ingredients in my juice), it would take hours! Again, not to dis the benefits of fiber & chewing, but if one needs to really HEAL themselves then in the humble opinion of many, juicing is VITAL.

— So again, this video was made in honor of crosspecans. Krista & I both care about you, Susan! Juicing has saved many, many lives & has shed many, many thousands of pounds for people. Both Krista & I would really love to see Susan get on with the WHOLE program of true healing, using juices, smoothies, whole fruits & salads as her core diet, along with moderate amounts of nuts & seeds, esp. throughout the winter. It’s vital to use whatever it takes to have a good time getting healthy, and juicing is a big part of that!

— Never give up; drink your juice! Peace be with you all!

Love, Dan & Krista

Diets are Dead, Detox Works

July 3, 2009 - 1:47 pm No Comments

There are a few reasons why diets don’t offer a permanent solution to weight loss. The most obvious one is that diets don’t reflect the way people will continue to eat the rest of their lives. It’s just not reasonable. Once the diet is over, people revert to their previous eating habits and any progress made during the diet period is usually lost. Diets also slow your metabolism because your body has to adjust to a lower calorie intake,they cause cravings, and also invoke fear. No one wants to give up theirfavorite foods.

Diets take time, energy, and willpower to carry out, while going the detox route can offer long-lasting weight-loss without the deprivation and starvation usually associated with dieting.

Detoxing works by initially ridding your body of impacted waste, toxins, and fecal matter that clog up the digestive system. Colon hydrotherapy, or colon cleansing programs are a popular way to achieve this. Weight gain is often caused by the body’s inability to digest and eliminate properly. In fact, the average person is carrying between 5-20 pounds of excess waste in the colon. If you are overweight, then the number can be even higher. Colonics work to remove this extra waste, thereby enabling your digestive tract to absorb nutrients, remove toxins, and eliminate the way it was intended to. Obviously the colon cannot do it’s job when there are years of waste accumulated inside causing all sorts of health problems.

What causes this toxic build-up? Many nutritional health experts agree that the abundance of refined and processed foods that make up the Standard American Diet (SAD) create a toxic environment for digestion. Cooked and processed foods are much harder to digest than raw, whole foods in their natural state. Additionally, the chemical additives and artificial flavors added to many foods contribute to internal toxicity and get stored in the body.

Detoxing is not about cutting calories or giving up your favorite foods. While it’s a good idea to be aware of these things if your goal is weight loss, it is also important to eat more of “the good stuff.” What is the good stuff? Foods that are in their raw, unprocessed, organic and natural state. These include vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and whole or sprouted grains. Eating raw also means you get to enjoy raw cookies, pies, and other yummy treats. Most health food stores carry all the basic ingredients you need to follow a raw food lifestyle and there are several “cookbooks” and resources on the market that can help you get started. 

When you opt for detox, the pounds will melt away and you won’t be starving. It’s as simple as choosing the right foods and avoiding the ones that are toxic and hard to digest.
