Papaya and Arugula Smoothie for Stable Blood Sugar and Gut Health

Papaya + Arugula Blood Sugar–Friendly Vegan Smoothie

This is a metabolic smoothie that happens to taste good, built to use up fresh papaya and arugula while staying vegan, gut-supportive, and blood sugar friendly.

Ingredients (1 large smoothie)

  • 1 cup fresh papaya, cubed
  • 1 to 1½ cups fresh arugula (mild, peppery, insulin-friendly)
  • ¾ cup unsweetened plant milk (almond, flax, or hemp)
  • ½ cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 scoop clean organic vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax
  • 1 teaspoon MCT oil
  • Ice as needed for thickness

Flavor + blood sugar support

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon extract (brightens flavor and supports glucose response)
  • Monk fruit extract to taste
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional but powerful for insulin sensitivity)

Directions

  1. Add plant milk to the blender first.
  2. Add arugula, papaya, frozen blueberries, and protein powder.
  3. Add chia, flax, and MCT oil.
  4. Blend until fully smooth, then add ice to thicken and blend again.
  5. Optional: add cayenne and blend 5 seconds more.
Best timing tip: Drink this after movement or as your first meal of the day. Both improve glucose handling, especially with papaya.

Why This Works (without wrecking blood sugar)

  • Papaya stays moderate glycemic when paired with fiber, fat, and protein.
  • Arugula adds bitter compounds that slow glucose release and support the liver.
  • Blueberries add polyphenols without a sugar spike.
  • Protein + seeds + MCT flatten the glucose curve hard.
  • Citrus + cayenne subtly improve insulin signaling.

This is not a fruit smoothie. It is a metabolic smoothie that happens to taste good.

Optional Variations (based on mood)

Chocolate Papaya Greens Version

If you want this to feel like dessert while staying clean and blood sugar friendly:

  • Swap vanilla protein for chocolate protein powder
  • Add ¼ teaspoon hazelnut extract
  • If you have it, add a tiny pinch of cinnamon

Tastes like a weirdly healthy Nutella-adjacent thing.

Tropical-Lean (Still Blood Sugar Friendly)

If you want more tropical flavor without pushing glucose:

  • Reduce papaya to ¾ cup
  • Add ¼ cup frozen passion fruit or dragon fruit
  • Skip mango and pineapple here (save those for post-workout)

Gut-First Version

If digestion is the priority and you want to blunt glucose even harder:

  • Add ½ teaspoon psyllium husk
  • Blend longer and drink slower

This will dramatically blunt any glucose rise.

One Important Tip

Drink this after movement or as your first meal. If you want the smoothest blood sugar response, do a quick 10-minute walk first, then drink it slowly.

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 scoop vanilla plant protein (pea or clean blend)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds

Options & Upgrades (Choose Your Weapon)

  • Use less almond milk (start with 2/3 cup) and more ice.
  • Let it sit 2 minutes before serving to thicken further.

Why This Is Blood Sugar-Friendly

This smoothie is designed around a simple principle: fiber + fat + protein = stable energy. More recipes and strategies live in the Blood Sugar Reset Hub.

Ingredient Benefits (Quick, Useful, No Fluff)

  • Passion fruit (pulp + seeds): fiber-forward and naturally tart, seeds add crunch and help slow digestion for a steadier glucose curve.
  • Avocado: rich in monounsaturated fats and fiber, supports satiety and helps blunt the blood sugar response of everything else in the blender.
  • Unsweetened almond milk: low sugar base that keeps total carbs down without wrecking taste.
  • Plant protein: increases fullness and helps flatten post-meal glucose spikes by slowing absorption.
  • Chia seeds: form a gel-like fiber matrix that slows digestion and supports smoother energy.
  • Unsweetened coconut flakes: adds coconut flavor plus fat + fiber for a more stable, sustained fuel feel.
  • Ceylon cinnamon: commonly used to support healthy glucose metabolism and adds natural sweetness without sugar.
  • Sea salt (tiny pinch): enhances flavor and can help the smoothie taste “complete,” not flat.
  • MCT oil (optional): fast-usable fat energy that can make the smoothie more satisfying with minimal glucose impact.
  • Lime (optional): brightens flavor, helps you need less sweetener.
  • Stevia (optional): adds sweetness without sugar, useful if your passion fruit is extra tart.

Two Plant-Based Pizzas That Reset Blood Sugar: One Strict, One With a Little Wiggle Room

Pizza isn’t the enemy, random insulin spikes are. These two variations keep the flavor while protecting metabolic flexibility. Version A is aggressively strict for reset phases. Version B gives you a hair of wiggle room while staying disciplined.

No animal products • No added oils in cooking • Fiber‑forward • Whole‑food ingredients • Made for aggressive goals

Join the 30‑Day Blood Sugar Reset

Why These Pizzas Work for Insulin Sensitivity

Ultra‑high fiber Minimal glycemic load Oil‑free cooking Phytonutrient density Satiety without spikes

Translation: better glucose disposal, fewer crashes, more consistency for fasting numbers and long term metabolic freedom.

Version A; Aggressive Reset Pizza (No‑Wiggle)

Completely oil‑free • Low net carbs • Heavy on non‑starchy veg • 100% plant‑based

Crust (1 medium)

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup cauliflower rice, lightly steamed & squeezed dry
  • 1/2 tsp aluminum‑free baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp mineral salt
  • 2-3 tbsp water, as needed
  1. Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a sheet with parchment.
  2. Mix dry ingredients, fold in cauliflower, add water to form a soft dough.
  3. Press into a thin round (about 10–11″). Par‑bake 15 minutes.

Sauce (oil‑free)

  • 1 cup no‑salt‑added crushed tomatoes
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Optional: pinch cayenne
  1. Simmer 5 minutes to bloom spices. Spread thinly on crust.

Toppings

  • Sliced zucchini, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers
  • Handful chopped spinach or kale
  • Fresh basil after baking
  • Nutritional yeast (cheesy flavor), optional
  • Optional sprinkle of hemp hearts for protein
  1. Bake topped pizza at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until edges set.
  2. Rest 3 minutes; add basil; slice into 6-8.
Coach’s note: Keep sauce thin and toppings generous. Volume from non‑starchy veg = satisfaction without a glucose cliff.

Version B; Reasonably Strict Pizza (Small Wiggle Room)

Still plant‑based • Sprouted ancient grain crust • Optional minimal cashew cheese • Oil‑free cooking

Crust (1 medium)

  • 1 cup sprouted spelt or sprouted whole‑wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp mineral salt
  • ~3/4 cup warm water (as needed)
  1. Heat oven to 400°F (204°C). Mix dry; add water; knead briefly.
  2. Rest dough 30 minutes. Roll thin; par‑bake 8–10 minutes.

Sauce

  • Same as Version A, plus 1 roasted red pepper blended in (optional natural sweetness)

Toppings

  • Same vegetables as Version A
  • Optional: 1/4–1/2 cup minimally processed cashew‑based plant mozzarella (no coconut oil)
  • Optional: a few artichoke hearts (packed in water)
  • Optional: thin roasted sweet potato rounds for slow‑burn carbs
  1. Bake topped pizza at 400°F for 12 minutes or until edges crisp.
  2. Cool briefly; slice; enjoy.
Dial the wiggle precisely: Keep plant cheese to a light scatter, not a blanket. If using sweet potato, keep slices thin and portioned.

Make It Yours (Without Breaking the Reset)

  • Spice lever: oregano, basil, thyme, chili flakes; unlimited.
  • Protein lever: hemp hearts or finely crumbled baked tofu (no oil).
  • Volume lever: pile on mushrooms & greens; they tame hunger without spikes.
  • Timing: Best eaten earlier in the day or post‑training for superior glucose disposal.

If you’re deep in a reset, default to Version A. When you’ve earned a touch of flexibility, rotate Version B strategically.

Psyllium Husk Smoothies for Blood Sugar Control

Low GI, plant-based, fiber forward blends designed to slow glucose absorption, improve satiety, and support insulin sensitivity without the sugary fillers.

How to use psyllium like a pro:
  • Dose: 1-2 Tbsp psyllium husk powder per smoothie. If you’re new, start with 1 Tbsp; if you want it thick, go 2 Tbsp.
  • Sequence: Blend everything first, then add psyllium and pulse briefly. Drink immediately, it gels fast.
  • Hydration: Follow with a glass of water. Soluble fiber pulls water into the gut (that’s part of how it flattens glucose spikes).
  • Timing with meds/supplements: Separate psyllium from medications/supps by 2 hours to avoid absorption interference.

Psyllium Husk Gut-Reset Smoothie

Thick, pudding-level fiber for slow glucose entry and deep satiety.

Ingredients (1 serving)

  • 12-16 oz cold filtered water
  • 1-2 Tbsp psyllium husk powder
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup frozen zucchini cubes
  • ½ cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seed
  • 1 scoop unsweetened plant protein (vanilla works great)
  • ½ tsp Ceylon cinnamon
  • Optional: squeeze of lemon; a few drops stevia/monk fruit

Instructions

  1. Blend everything except psyllium until smooth.
  2. Add psyllium; pulse 3-5 seconds. Drink immediately. Thin with water if needed.

Why it works: Psyllium + flax/chia form a viscous gel that slows gastric emptying and glucose absorption, while protein and cinnamon support post-prandial control and satiety.

Green Insulin-Sensitizer Shake

Leafy greens + psyllium + acids for a crisp, low-GI blend.

Ingredients (1 serving)

  • 14 oz cold water

Blood Sugar-Friendly Guacamole (Without Tomatoes? Here’s Why.)

When you’re on a mission to aggressively reset your blood sugar and restore metabolic flexibility, even the smallest ingredients matter. This guacamole recipe may look simple, but it’s strategically designed to work with your body, not against it.

🥑 The Guacamole That Works With Your Metabolism

This is not your typical guac. There’s no tomato, no compromise, and no guessing. Every ingredient here is intentionally chosen to support insulin sensitivity, glucose uptake, and gut health, all without sacrificing flavor.

💚 Ingredients (Serves 2–3):

  • 2 ripe avocados (organic preferred)
  • Juice of 1 small lime (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 small clove garlic, finely minced (or 1/4 tsp garlic powder)
  • 2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Pink Himalayan salt to taste
  • Optional: Pinch of cumin or smoked paprika for added flavor

🥣 Instructions:

  1. Slice avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop into a bowl.
  2. Add lime juice immediately to slow oxidation and support blood sugar stability.
  3. Mix in garlic, red onion, and cilantro.
  4. Mash everything to your desired consistency using a fork.
  5. Season with pink salt (and optional spices) to taste.
  6. Serve fresh and enjoy immediately.

✅ Health Benefits of Each Ingredient

  • Avocados: High in potassium, magnesium, and monounsaturated fats that support insulin receptor sensitivity and reduce inflammation.
  • Lime juice: Enhances digestion and promotes a lower post-meal glucose response.
  • Garlic: Naturally supports blood sugar regulation and nitric oxide production for better circulation.
  • Red onion: Rich in antioxidants and quercetin, which help with inflammation and glucose metabolism.
  • Cilantro: Aids in blood sugar control and natural detoxification.
  • Pink Himalayan salt: Provides trace minerals without spiking insulin.

🚫 Why No Tomatoes?

Tomatoes may seem innocent, but during an aggressive blood sugar reset, they introduce unnecessary variables. Here’s why we leave them out:

  • They contain natural sugars that can contribute to delayed glucose spikes, especially when combined with fat (like avocado).
  • Many store-bought tomatoes are picked unripe and gassed to ripen artificially, which can impact gut health and blood sugar unpredictably.
  • Tomatoes are a nightshade, a common trigger for low-grade inflammation that worsens insulin resistance in some people.

🌿 Can You Add Tomatoes Later?

Absolutely. Once your blood sugar is consistently stable (think fasting glucose in the low 80s and tight post-meal control), you can reintroduce high-quality, organic, vine-ripened tomatoes in small amounts. Monitor your response and enjoy them mindfully.

🔥 How to Use This Guacamole

  • Serve with cucumber slices, celery sticks, or jicama rounds.
  • Top grilled zucchini, cauliflower steak, or spaghetti squash.
  • Use as a creamy layer in a blood sugar-friendly protein bowl.

🧠 Pro Tip:

Don’t just eat to feel full, eat to retrain your body. This guacamole isn’t just a dip; it’s a tool for metabolic freedom.

Smoothie Saboteurs: The Common Ingredients That Could Be Ruining Your Blueberry Boost

Picture this: you’re blending up a smoothie, tossing in those antioxidant-packed and polyphenol loaded blueberries, feeling like a total health rockstar… only to unwittingly add in ingredients that completely undermine those benefits.

The Culprits: Bananas, Beets, Chard, and Swiss Chard.

These otherwise powerfully healthy foods contain an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase. And as the name suggests, it’s like a wrecking ball for polyphenols – the very compounds you’re trying to get from your blueberries!

I used to be a banana-in-my-smoothie kind of guy. I loved how it added creaminess… until I discovered the polyphenol oxidase problem. And let me tell you, it evolved my smoothie game and I’m sad to say these polyphenol counteracting ingredients are found in every smoothie shop out there.

But wait, it gets worse. A 2023 study found that when people drank a smoothie with blueberries and banana, their polyphenol levels plummeted compared to those who had the blueberries alone. That means all those great brain benefits from the blueberries were essentially blocked by the banana!

There is really not a lot of foods you can put into a smoothie that would degrade the polyphenols, but of the ones that would counteract the polyphenols with their high polyphenol oxidase enzyme includes bananas, beets, anything in that family such as chard, and swiss chard. These foods are wonderful foods with powerful health benefits, just don’t put them in with blueberries. An ideal green that works beautifully with blueberries in your smoothies would be Kale Leaves, Spinach, or Romain Lettuce.

The Smoothie Recipe That Actually Works

Okay, enough about what not to do. Here’s my revised smoothie template recipe that boosts the benefits of those blueberries I got based from a recipe by Dr. Rhonda Patrick of Cell Biology and Biochemistry:

  • 4 Kale leaves
  • 1 Avocado
  • Copious amounts Frozen blueberries
  • Protein powder (I use Plant-Based Shakeology which includes 16 grams of Protein per serving. I do 2 servings a day)
  • hydrolyzed collagen (not needed if you have a good protein powder)
  • A heaping tablespoon of Moringa powder (this stuff is like a polyphenol supercharger!)
  • Water

About the Moringa powder. It’s like magic. It activates the same genetic pathways as sulforaphane (found in broccoli sprouts) to increase antioxidants in the brain, lower DNA damage, and more. Plus, it helps control blood sugar spikes from the smoothie!

Upgrade Your Smoothie Game

  • Ditch the banana! Add avocado instead for creaminess as well as it’s own health benefits.
  • Sneak in some kale, spinach or romaine.
  • Avoid beets and chard (save them for your salads)
  • Consider adding Moringa powder for an extra polyphenol boost and help with controlling blood sugar spikes.

Now it’s your turn! Give me your smoothie recipe and I’ll grade it for you.

Beans, in my opinion, is natures most perfect food for human consumption. Not Dairy! Beans have healthy fats, slow digesting carbohydrates, biologically available proteins, trace minerals, and lots of insoluble fiber to support a healthy micro biom and over all digestive track. 80% of your immune system is in your gut. 90% of dopamine and 50% of serotonin secretion comes from the gut. For this reason, the gut has been dubbed as the second brain. Sometimes if you’re feeling sad it just means you need a better healthy diet for your gut!

Ingredients:
1 can of black or kidney beans
Fresh Dried Thyme Leaves to taste
Black Pepper to taste
Ginger Root Powder to taste
1 or 2 splashes of braggs liquid aminos
Cayenne Pepper Powder to taste – optional

Directions:
Rinse and strain can of beans. Heat up in a pan for a couple of minutes. Pour heated beans into a serving bowl. Add all other ingredients, stir, and enjoy!

Protein and Fiber Wraps

This takes just a couple of minutes to make. Add one minute if you heat it up.  It’s DELICIOUS and crazy healthy.  The sprouted tortilla shell makes it more blood sugar friendly, more fibrous, and more medicinal.  Hemp seeds add trace minerals otherwise hard to get in most foods.  The chic peas, lentils, and hummus pack this dish with lots of protein and fiber which makes this an idea night time food.  I’m using herbs and spices instead of salt and sugar (game changer!).

Ingredients:
Sprouted Tortilla Shells
Chic Peas
Lentils (I used Canned; much quicker!)
Hummus
Pitted Kalamata Olive Halves
Hemp Seeds
Black Pepper
Ginger Powder
Tumeric Powder
Cayenne Pepper (Optional for heat)

Directions:
I eat these cold but you can heat them up if you’d like.  Place all ingredients onto open tortilla shell in this order to make it easier.  Hummus spread, hemp seeds, chic peas, lentils, and pitted Kalamata olive halves.  In any order add the black pepper, ginger powder, tumeric powder, and cayenne pepper powder.  Fold over the tortilla shell with all ingredients packed in and enjoy!

Vegan Hot Pockets

I had no idea what to call these until I tasted them! I decided to make a second one that I folded into a pocket because the taste immediately reminded me of a hot pocket from when I was a kid =)

Takes about 10 minutes.

Ingredients:
tortilla shells
vegan cream cheese or hummus or both
baby spinach
chic peas
thin tomato slices
marinara sauce
black pepper
dried thyme leaves
ginger powder

Directions – I’m going to give you medicinal directions because I am a health nerd.

Heat up a tortilla shell for about a half minute so that it folds easier.  Buy shells that are high in fiber and have no sugar listed in the list of ingredients.  The shells I use typically have between 6 – 8 grams of fiber per serving.  This is gut healthy and blood sugar metabolic friendly.

After your shell is heated up place on a plate and spread hummus, vegan cream cheese, or both over the top as pictured.

 

Now place some baby spinach on top, then chic peas, some thin tomato slices..

 

Marinara sauce..

Find a good ORGANIC marinara sauce that does not have sugar listed in the ingredients.  Never buy tomato products in a can.  The acid that naturally occurs in tomatoes will eat away at the can.  To protect the can they line it with a chemical that is toxic to human health.

Season with black pepper, ginger powder, dried thyme leaves..

 

Fold over  like a pizza pocket =)   Or you can roll it like a taco or a burrito..

 

Place in a frying pan on medium heat and heat for a couple of minutes on both sides.  I’ve found for these I don’t need to put down any cooking oil at all.  IF you do use oil, make sure you use an oil with a high flash point such as coconut, grapeseed, or avocado oil.  Do NOT use olive oil because olive oil turns into a toxic carcinogen once heated.

 

All that’s left is to thoroughly enjoy these <3    Maybe have a friend over and serve up something surprisingly delicious and easy to make!

Berry Island

100% Plant Based Medicinal – No Sugar – No oils – No Salt – Whole Ingredients

This tasty morsel takes only about 5 minutes making it convenient and healthy.

I haven’t measured anything out. This is purely done by personal preference so play with the quantities and have fun with this tasty easy healthy snack!

Mash up a banana or two in a small to medium-sized mixing bowl with a fork or potato masher.

Mix in some natural peanut butter and some cacao powder; not to be confused with cocoa powder. You can also add some chia seed optionally, flaxseed optionally, or cinnamon.

This is where I will mix in my chocolate SuperFood shake mix called “Shakeology” which gives it extra medicinal value and extra decadent chocolate flavor!  I’ve been consuming and selling Shakeology since it was launched in 2009.  If you’d like to purchase a bag of Shakeology my company replicated website is here where you can support me.
   

Now that we have our spread ready, it is time to get out a slice of bread that we will be spreading this spread on.

To keep this medicinal, choose either sprouted bread, sourdough bread, or Ezekiel flourless bread.

Once you have your medicinal bread of choice selected go ahead and spread this mixture on a slice with a butter knife.

Add your various berries such as blueberries and raspberries, sprinkle some no sugar added granola, and some unsweetened coconut flakes.

Now it’s time for the best part..

Enjoy!

Feel free to take a picture of what you created and tag me in it 🙂 I would love to see your beautiful presentation you create!

VEGAN Beet Burger

I’m shocked at how good this turned out. I’ve never had success at making Vegan burgers which I started off and on about 10 years ago. They’d always fall apart, stick, the texture was never good, they never tasted very good etc.

This recipe solves ALL of those challenges so I am stoked to share this recipe with you!

Here is a link to the Recipe Source. Credit where credit is due – https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/vegan-beet-burgers/

Below is is list of ingredients and in parenthesis is how I modified to my taste.  Follow along with your individual taste palate <3

– 2 cups grated raw un-peeled beets which equates to about 2 medium beets
– 3/4 cups large flake rolled oats
– 1/2 cooked drained lentils (I used canned)
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flower (I used bobs red mills organic)
– 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped (I pulsed in my vitamix blender)
– 2 cloves garlic, finely minced (I used 3 cloves and a garlic press)
– 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
– 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves (I used 3 tsp)
– 1/2 teaspoon salt (I used 1 tsp of ginger powder)
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (I used 1 tsp)

Directions:
Grate or pulse in a vitamix two medium beets for two cups worth of RAW grated beets.  I didn’t peel the beets as described in the original recipe and they turned out perfect with even more nutrition.  Add all other ingredients to mixture and continue to pulse in a high powered blender paying attention to the texture to mimic ground beef.  Wet hands and form patties.  Fry or Bake!  I fried mine in coconut oil, low heat, 5 minutes per side.  I turned the heat to medium for just one minute at the end to give it even more of a real burger look.  I used sprouted bread instead of regular starchy white buns.  Top how ever you’d like.  My first one I just topped with a smear of natural peanut butter and it was delicious!

Enjoy and share please =)

Tacos Be Thy Medicine

Tacos are lovely =) I could eat them every day and not get sick of them! Tacos can be medicinal or toxic just like almost anything else. Tacos are particularly easy to make medicinal in my personal opinion, inexpensive, and limitless in variety so you never get bored!

Try eating nothing but Medicinal Tacos for at least 1 week and see how you feel. Check with your health care provider if you have any health concerns. I am not a doctor or an expert of any kind. I’m sharing something with you as a lay person that I LOVE.

When I’m eating purely medicinal I will eat my tacos with no meat, no dairy, and for the shell I use crispy Romain lettuce wedges! I will use two or three wedges for a solid shell and more green in my diet. These tacos, in whatever variation I make them in, are just vegetables, beans, herbs, and spices.  I do not believe it’s possible to gain weight even if you eat 20 of these a day!  No starch, meat, dairy, flour, salt, sugar, oil, or any isolates of any kind. Just plant based WHOLE food medicinal nutrition. A video I made on how to get healthy oil in your diet: https://youtu.be/lNpfg9o4fFo and another video on how to sweeten up your food with natural whole food sweeteners instead of sugar: https://youtu.be/bGzqbXVTACo

I like to pick between 2 and 4 ingredients for my tacos after the Romain wedges.  Too many ingredients can be less medicinal for the body to handle.  Plus you get to experiment with more variations of tacos!

The base of my tacos are going to be the Romain wedges for the shell, raw onion or scallions, and beans (black, pinto, kidney, northern white etc).  From there I will change it up with just a couple more ingredients typically.

Here is a list of other ingredients I will experiment with based on what I’m in the mood for putting on my tacos:
tomato
cilantro
Avocado
mushrooms
arugula
cabbage
plant based sour cream
plant based melted cheese
salsa
guacamole
black eyed peas
Zoodles
Sweet Potatoes (skin on)
Red Potatoes (skin on)
Fresh Beats
Broccoli
Asparagus
Garlic
Cucumber
Sprouts
Celery
Lentils
Lime
Lemon
Tahini
Chickpeas
Sprouted Quinoa
Sprouted Rice
Sea Vegetables (Wakame Seawee, Nori Seawee, Arame Seaweed)
Apple Cider Vinegar (unfiltered, raw, and unpasteurized)
Hummus

Herbs and Spices you can go nuts on because you cannot gain weight eating these!
Cayenne Pepper
Cumin
Ginger
Turmeric
Black Pepper
Oregano
Garlic
Basil
Parsley
Thyme
Sage
Dill
Paprika
Rosemary
Clove

Drink lots of water and herbal caffeine free teas.  No Caffeine!  If you want more variety here are some medicinal beverages I enjoy:

Kombucha (I always buy from GTS because all other Kombucha makers that I know of add sugar.):

Plant Based Super Foods Shake I drink Daily:
Shakeology


Nutrition is important but only one piece of the wellness puzzle!  For the fitness piece of the WHOLE wellness puzzle here are the programs I’ve been using since August of 2007:
