Raw Vegan Mexican Zoodle Salad


In 2007 when I learned about raw vegan food few knew what a raw vegan lifestyle was.   It was difficult to find the ingredients or tools.  Slowly, I noticed major grocery stores started carrying the ingredients and tools.  What a shift in community health awareness. 

Now, if you enjoy the texture of "noodles" but you are gluten intolerant or have digestive issues then this is an awesome way to prepare plant-based noodles.  

For all the enzymes to be aiding your digestive process  this can be placed in a dehydrator to warm this dish at 105 degrees without cooking the enzymes out. 

Raw Vegan Mexican Zoodle Salad

Ingredients:

1-2 cups zucchini zoodles 

1 medium tomato diced

1 small red pepper diced 

1/4 cup organic corn

2 tbsp sprouted chickpeas 

1 red onion diced

1 avocado cubed

2 tbsp cilantro

3 tbsp lime juiced 

1 tbsp mexican seasoning 

Method: 

Spiralize or buy zucchini noodles and place in large bowl.

Add all the remaining ingredients except avocado and toss well.

Place in dehydrator for 30 minutes at 105 degrees before serving  

Add avocado cubes as desired on top after the warm dehydrated mixture is complete.   

Enjoy!

A Tune-up to Overcome Accusation!


 I have to admit as I looked at this list of accusation behaviors I realized I needed a tune up!  

I think there is an innate problem that when we focus on others problems and wrong behaviors it makes us unknowingly feel elevated.  At the same time I’m not saying ignore bad behavior that is truly wicked. Confront what needs to be confronted.  

 I bring up this topic because in the health realm this kind of behavior can affect your health.  Negative thoughts and words affect us negatively and actually make the body more acidic according to the pH charts   

Do a quick inventory.  

  • Do you accuse God?
  • Do you accuse yourself?
  • Do you accuse others? Friends and family etc 
  • Are you being accused by others?  
Next 
  • Think of a time you accused someone.  
  • Think of a time someone accused you.  
  • Take time to reflect in these questions.  Go to God and ask for forgiveness or forgive the person in prayer. 
Ways to overcome criticizing or judging the mistakes of others or talking about others faults.  

  • When you wake up ask God how you can be a blessing that day.  
  • Renew your mind by reading scripture.  
  • Focus on blessing others in word or deed.  
  • Ask God to forgive you and grant you his strength through the day as well as repent for generations that this could be a strong area from family lines who did the same thing.  
Be a change agent!  Awareness is the first step.  

Messiah bless you and keep the faith!

Wonderfully Made! Yes You:)


I have to admit it is tempting to freeze or panic when faced with a health challenge. I had tons of resources literally brought to me so I could research and learn God’s ways of health.   

God’s ways:

Pray first!   I need that reminder what about you? 
Days of creation in Genesis give answers to the best of healthy lifestyle as follows. 
  • Land 
  • Air
  • Water
  • Plants
Genesis 1:29.  
Genesis 2:9

World’s Ways
  • Processes food with preservatives 
  • Salt, white flour, sugar 
  • Treat the body as one part not a whole system 
  • Pharma 
I learned through my studies that health challenges can stem from nutrient deficiency, toxicity,  and or generational.  
In my own story even though food was a healer for my health challenge I had a natural health practitioner tell me there was something more like generational issue. For that I had to pray and behold My Heavenly Father the great physician answered.  Truly  I had to pray for weeks and ask for direction even how to proceed with pray and Him to heal. Then He had someone bring me another 15 books to read!

My overall gist of this article is yes we need the medical system but God made us and knows what we need to overcome.  He is so faithful to answer when we seek him.  Do seek Him if you are facing a health challenge.  The roots may be deeper that only God can reveal to you. 

           Have a blessed weekend and keep the faith.

Hydration Station


Do you find it difficult to drink water?   We hear drink 1-2 quarts of water daily.  Plain water really doesn’t have any taste, so why not make infused water with fruits and herbs!

After being on a recent health call I decided I need to get more water in daily.  Our bodies are approximately 70% water. I decided to make a pot of lemon water with a few drops of stevia and that’s my new go to.  

Benefits of homemade infused water:

  • Lower calories than sodas and calorie laden coffee drinks. 
  • Decreased sugar intake compared to other drinks. 
  • Spend time drinking water rather than snacking. 
  • A cleaner inside can reflect on glowing skin
Method
  • Choose fresh organic herbs and fruit 
  • Wash herbs and fruit 
  • Cut ingredients and add to a pitcher of water 
  • Let sit 2-3 hours for flavors to infuse 
  • Keep water cold 
  • Discard water after 24 hours or less. 
Combination ideas 
  • Orange 🍊 Blueberry, basil 🌿 
  • Lemon πŸ‹ cucumber πŸ₯’ mint 
  • Cucumber, lime, strawberry πŸ“ mint
  • Lemon πŸ‹ plain stevia in hot water. (Alternative to s cold drink). 
Try one this to help your hydration and see if you too can drink more water daily! 

Many blessings and keep the faith!

Daily Plant Foods of Life!


Since 2007 I started my journey with raw live food after having a skin cancer spot.  A colleague then shared about raw live foods along with 18 books and many appliances for me to practice with! 

I was fascinated with the many choices of healthy food in a plant based diet.  I went to become a health minister with Myhdiet and adopted many of their
principles in a healthy lifestyle.  

In a day I consume approximately 85% raw food and 15 % cooked. 

Foods to include  in a plant base raw live food lifestyle:

  • Fresh carrot and green juices 
  • Nutmilks and nut cheeses. 
  • Fruit ( Those with certain healthy challenges may need to eat less fruit)
  • Greens (rotate different greens daily)   
  • Spouted beans such as mung and lentil 
  • Herbal teas 
  • Grain-like foods such as quinoa, oats, and millet 

Foods to avoid: 

  • White flour 
  • White sugar 
  • Animal products 
  • White salt 
  • Alcohol and excessive caffeine 
Since I have been following this lifestyle I don’t want to go back to what is referred to as the Standard American Diet (SAD).  We have an amazing internal immune system which can change your life and those who want to learn and adopt this life giving lifestyle!
