If you want to conserve your energy, avoid using it to digest: love and incorporate into your meals easy-to-digest foods that offer an abundance of vital nutrients, minerals, and vitamins. The more you eat, the better you'll feel and the less likely you'll experience the effects you want to avoid (bloating or internal decay, for example).
We are what we eat and don't eliminate!
So here is what you can start getting in your next grocery store, I feed myself on daily basis:
- lots of green vegetables , then red (peppers...), oranges (carrots...), lemons
- quinoa (or other pseudo grain like millet, amaranth, teff, etc.)
- Redstar nutritional yeast (for umami, 5th flavor, vitamin B12 and its cheesy taste, it replaces parmesan, is a great seasoning)
- dehydrated sprouted buckwheat (harder to find, but oh so good on all levels, keeps for a long time); I add it to my quinoa, salad... otherwise you can use raw hemp or sesame seeds ;
- Nori seaweed , I shred it everywhere too;
- MISO (found in the fridge) for soup broths or to salt our pseudo-grain dishes; Miso is a good way to get enzymes AND probiotics, we add it to our dishes to salt at the end of cooking: Miso should not be cooked, it is fermented soybeans
- dried lentils or beans (red, black) to sprout or canned from the Éden brand
- cashew, almond, or tahini butter (for sauces)
- ginger roots
For the smoothie and nutritious snack station (energy bars or balls that take 3 minutes 30 to make, I counted)
- carob (or cocoa);
- maple syrup or for diabetics, dates, raisins, white mulberries (soak overnight and mix into a puree);
- optional, Maca (dessert smoothie, root of a plant that grows at altitudes and resists extreme temperatures: it gives us this energy of endurance!) or chlorella, matcha (green smoothie)
- chia (to replace eggs)
- gluten-free flakes, e.g. quinoa, (for cookies), oatmeal, burger balls
- raw nuts or seeds : cashew (for plant-based milks), sunflower, sesame
For desserts:
- a gluten-free flour mix, either purchased or homemade ( from quinoa, rice and almond powder flours )
- coconut oil (to replace fats): it must be warmed (I put it in my measuring cup when the oven is heating)
For your water, chlorophyll is a great idea (cleanses the blood, alkalizes the body, deodorizes the colon, keeps magnesium, an anti-stress mineral, in the body and helps cells breathe better). It's also energizing because it increases the respiratory capacity in the cells, so don't take it in the evening!
You are now rich.
