Carrot Ginger Juice & Interview with Joe Cross [Video]

Written on May 22, 2023. Posted in Drinks, Kaufmann 1. No Comments on Carrot Ginger Juice & Interview with Joe Cross [Video]

I have the easiest carrot ginger juice recipe for you, plus my interview with Joe Cross. Remember when we watched Joe juicing his way across the United States in Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead? That is the very movie that started me on my own juicing journey, determined to put my own autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s) in remission. Which, I say ecstatically it has stayed in remission for years now! I interview Joe Cross below and will also share the best green juice along with the carrot ginger juice.

Below: My interview with Joe Cross

Joe Cross and I talk about our autoimmune disease and how nutrition from raw plants can be so powerful in helping to restore the body. I myself developed the autoimmune disease, Hashimoto’s from toxic mold exposure, and Joe Cross has Urticaria. Both of our autoimmune diseases are in remission. Joe’s juicing experiment proved the right food can help restore health.

Now onto the carrot ginger juice recipe! I use the Nama Juicer and it’s also the juicer that Joe Cross recommends. For 10% off the name juicer, use my coupon code at check out which is EATPRAY.

I interviewed Supermodel Carol Alt recently and she has inspired me to eat more “raw” foods. These fruit roll-ups are Kaufmann Diet friendly and are an interesting way to get more fruit in your diet.

Be sure to read my interview with her, it’s eye opening to the healing power of raw foods.

What You Will Need For Fruit Roll-ups

Kaufmann diet friendly fruits such as berries
1 tsp lemon juice
Monk fruit or xylitol to taste

How to Eat More Vegetables On the Kaufmann Diet

Written on March 25, 2023. Posted in Health Tips & Information, Kaufmann 1. No Comments on How to Eat More Vegetables On the Kaufmann Diet

It seemed only natural to do a post regarding ways to eat more fruits and vegetables after my interviews with Supermodel Carol Alt, Joe Cross and Tommy Rosa. We all, at some point end up changing our eating habits when our health starts to slip away. In my case, I turned to the Kaufmann diet.

When model Carol Alt became ill during the height of her career, she turned to a mostly raw diet to regain her health. Tommy Rosa on the other hand, was involved in a hit-and-run accident and had a near death experience. During this time, he believes he went to heaven and met Jesus, who gave him health revelations to live by. One of them was eating clean, vibrant foods found in nature. And, In my video interview with Joe Cross from the movie Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, Joe explains how he juiced his way back to health after dealing with the side effects of a dreadful autoimmune disease.

If you have time to revisit those interviews above, they are enlightening and inspiring. Carol is the reason I bought my first Vitamix, and because of Joe, juicing became a habit of mine. My mentor Doug Kaufmann helped me realize my long list of health problems were from mold exposure. Whatever the reason you are here, diet is a crucial part of recovering from health issues. In the video below I will share how I squeeze in large quantifies of vegetables in my teenage son’s breakfast. If you are looking for a way to eat more vegetables on the Kaufmann diet, watch my video below as I make my son and I our daily juice.

3 Appliances That Make It Easy To Eat More Fruits And Vegetables

Carol Alt suggests these 3 appliances if you want to give a raw diet a try or if you just want to get in more fruits and vegetables. I completely agree and I would not be able to consume this much vegetables without the help of these great tools below!

Blender– My husband bought me a Vitamix last year (no I did not get it sent to me for free.) They are pricey, but let me tell you, it is worth every penny! Recently in a podcast I was asked if my house was burning down what would I grab and my response was “my Vitamix.” A Vitamix allows you to blend whole fruits and vegetables with the skin into a liquid that is not thick or gritty. This option retains the fiber. The powerful blade allows you to make smooth nut butters, as well as hot soups (I share a video below of my teenage son and I making broccoli and cheese soup). You can also make “nice cream”. I will be doing a video shortly on how to make this dairy free, healthy dessert.
Juicer – I use the Nama cold press juicer. This is the brand Joe Cross uses.
Dehydrator – The sky is the limit of what you can make in a dehydrator. There is anything from dried fruit, fruit roll ups, and Carol Alts favorite, cauliflower popcorn (which I made and loved it.) It really does taste like popcorn.

VIDEO: My teenage son’s breakfast – have your sound on as I share with you his frequent gas station trips for junk food.

The juice I make in my video would be considered Kaufmann 1 or Phase 1. For more Kaufmann diet friendly recipes, see my recipe section.

Healthy Cream Cheese Frosting (Kaufmann 1 Friendly)

Written on February 19, 2023. Posted in Desserts, Kaufmann 1, Recipes. No Comments on Healthy Cream Cheese Frosting (Kaufmann 1 Friendly)

This Kaufmann 1 diet friendly healthy cream cheese frosting proves how easy it is to go sugar free. You can whip this together in less than 3 minutes!

All you need is 5 ingredients and you are on your way to making this easy cream cheese frosting!

Read on and I’ll share the best sugar substitutes for recipes like this Kaufmann 1 diet friendly cream cheese frosting.

What You Will Need To Make Healthy Cream Cheese Frosting

4 oz of cream cheese
1 tbsp heavy cream (maybe you could use coconut milk instead but I haven’t tried it)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp organic butter softened
1/4 cup powdered monk fruit (must be powdered)

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a bowl and blend with a mixer until fully combined.

Which Sugar Free Substitutes Are Best?

Xylitol, monk fruit and Stevia are all great choices if you are on either the Kaufmann diet or a keto diet. These sugar substitutes will not feed candida and yeast and all have a low glycemic index. That is what makes this recipe a healthy cream cheese frosting.

Why Do I Eat A Kaufmann Diet?

The Kaufmann diet is very similar to the candida or Keto diet in which you are avoiding sugar and high carbohydrates. In my case, and for most people that try the Kaufmann diet, it’s because this particular way of eat starves pathogens. In particular mold and yeast like candida. Both are linked to illnesses such as chronic sinus infections, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, allergies, co-infections such as chronic Epstein Barr virus and even cancer.

1 cup of light coconut milk
1 tbsp coco powder – I used Equal Exchange Baking Cocoa (it does not contain sugar)

Pinch of salt
Blender of any kind or a frother will do as well.
Don’t skip the final step which is to mix this in a bullet or any blender. Makes one serving. Double the recipe for two.

Is Pumpkin Soup Good For You?

I’m so glad you asked! Pumpkin contains Vitamins such as C, E, and folate as well as antioxidants all which can strengthen your immune system. Onion and garlic are natural antifungals and can also protect against some cancers.

Coconut milk is a great source of healthy fat and is also a natural antifungal. If you are unaware of the diseases that fungus and mold can cause please read my story. Anyone who has lived in a moldy home (knowingly or unknowingly) have been on many rounds of antibiotics or birth control, or eat the Standard American Diet you may have a yeast or fungal issue.

How to Make the Best Tasting Green Juice for Beginners

Written on August 9, 2022. Posted in Breakfast, Drinks, Kaufmann 1, Recipes. No Comments on How to Make the Best Tasting Green Juice for Beginners

How to make the best tasting green juice for beginners. Back in my horrendously unhealthy eating days, the thought of juicing seemed laborious. I had no clue about what combinations of fruits and vegetables went well together. I ever remember making a smoothie with broccoli. It was disgusting and it was a long time before I juiced again. It got me thinking, I couldn’t have been the only one that needs help with easy and great tasting beginner juice recipes.

Below I also share my interview with Joe Cross (aka Joe the Juicer). He did after-all inspire me to start juicing when my body was just not recovering from a long list of chronic conditions. Joe explains how juicing changed his life and how it put his autoimmune disease into remission. If you haven’t watched his movie Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead it really is a must see. It’s a fascinating peak into how powerful the right foods (especially greens) can impact disease. As we watched joe juicing his way across America, we saw his dietary changes enable him to put his autoimmune disease into remission.

All you will need to make the best tasting green juice recipe is green apples, cucumber, spinach, ginger, and a juicer! I own and love the nama juicer. The nama cold press juicer is also the juicer that Joe Cross uses.

My Interview with Joe Cross (AKA Joe the Juicer)

Ingredients for Green Juice for Beginners

2 green apples
2 handfuls of spinach
1/2 cucumber
1/4 thick piece of raw ginger

For Fat Sick and nearly dead recipes, visit Joe Cross or my recipe drink page for more Nama Juice recipes and more about Joe juicing.

Instructions

Wash fruit and vegetables and then put them through the juicer. Joe turned me on to the Nama Juicer and I really do love it. Use EATPRAY at checkout to get 20% off the Nama cold press Juicer for a limited time.

What Makes This Green Juice for “Beginners?”

This beginner green juice recipe is mild and sweet making it a great introductory juice. Many people give up in the beginning when they start juicing because they can’t tolerate the taste of their juice. Also, because of it’s “green” color, many (especially kids) can be put off by green juice recipes. Adding green apples to any juice in the beginning really helps with the flavor. Green apples are also a good choice because they are lower in sugar than red apples.

If you are just starting out and used to eating doughnuts for breakfast like I was, it won’t be an easy transition. When we change our habits, the old ones do eventually fall to the waist side. It might be hard to believe now but one day you won’t even miss those doughnuts. You will miss the days you are unable to juice!

Nutrition in this Green Juice

Spinach is high in zinc, niacin, protein and fiber, as well as vitamins A, C, E, K, and B6. The folate in spinach is good for your heart and for brain function.

Cucumbers contain fisetin which is like natures anti-inflammatory and also plays a role in brain function. Cucumbers also contain anti-carcinogenic (anti-cancer) properties and as well as support digestive health.

Green apples aid in digestion and are a great source of energy as they contain carbohydrates. They are rich in vitamin C which is an antioxidant (and antioxidants help eradicate free radicals which cause damage to cells).

Something to ponder as you are drinking your green liquid therapy:

Doughnuts, a breakfast favorite for Americans, is also one of the worst 5 foods you can eat according to Dr. Mercola. They raise your blood sugar, are high in calories, high in trans fats (which lead to heart disease) and are loaded with sugar. And we know sugar of course leads to fungal overgrowth, which if you follow Eat, Pray, Get Well, you are already aware of the link between fungus and cancer.

Chia and Flax Seed Crackers (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

Written on April 21, 2021. Posted in Breads and Muffins, Kaufmann 1, Recipes. No Comments on Chia and Flax Seed Crackers (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

If you need ideas on how to ditch bread in your diet you will love this video on how to make chia and flax seed crackers. I make these crackers in the dehydrator in order to keep the ingredients technically “raw” (anything heated at 118 degrees or below is considered raw). The reason being is we aren’t killing off some of the vitamins and maybe more importantly the enzymes in food which literally keep us alive and healthy. My interview with Supermodel Carol Alt (who mostly eats a raw diet) inspired this recipe!

All you need is 4 ingredients to make these Kaufmann diet friendly crackers. If you are following the Doug Kaufmann diet, this recipe is a great option and would be considered Kaufmann 1 diet friendly (formally known as Kaufmann phase 1.)

What You Will Need To Make Chia Seed & Flax Seed Crackers

1 cup Organic Chia Seeds
1/2 cup Organic Flax Seeds
1/4 cup salted Sunflower Seeds (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Seasoning of your choice (I used Everything but the bagel seasoning)

Instructions For Making Chia Seed & Flax Seed Crackers

See video for dehydrator instructions and set dehydrator to 118 degrees (on some dehydrators you may have to bump up the temperature to get an internal temp of 118. After about two hours flip over and remove silicone lining so air can crisp the other side. Break into cracker size pieces. I consider this a great Kaufmann diet breakfast option or for a mid-day snack.

If using an oven – I haven’t tried it this way, but I would suggest an oven temp of 200 degrees. Bake on one side until crispy then flipping over until the other side is crispy. Break into cracker size pieces.

Note – this recipe is my own, but it is allowed on the Kaufmann 1 diet recipe. For more Kaufmann diet recipes, see my recipe section. To learn why my health issues forced me to start the Kaufmann diet, see my interview with Doug Kaufmann – host of Know the Cause.
