Kombucha Starter Kits are now on sale. This ancient health tonic is so easy and inexpensive to make, but you need to find a kombucha culture to get started. Nearly everyone who’s bought one from me has told me that it’s very hard to find them. So, [...]]]> http://thehealthyeatingsite.com/our-online-store-is-open/ Since I haven’t gotten around to making any raw soups yet, I thought I’d go in search of a video recipe, and I found a good one. Garden Vegetable Soup, by Jennifer Cornbleet. It looks and sounds delicious. I actually have enough of the ingredients to try one myself tomorrow. They are not so different [...]]]> http://thehealthyeatingsite.com/garden-vegetable-soup/ Today is International Women's day, and in celebration of women, and how far we have come, there's a very special event that starts tonight at 8pm Eastern time. It's called W.I.S.H. - Women's International Summit for Health. It happens online, and you're invited to attend. For free. Even if you're a guy!

Using a dehydrator, olive oil and spices, you'll be amazed at how you can totally transform the taste of raw mushrooms to so closely resemble sauteed mushrooms.

Keep the temperature setting of your dehydrator at 115 degrees F or below, and you won't destroy any of the important enzymes in raw food, but the warmth is enough to change the texture and taste of the food, similar to cooking at higher temperatures. In the case of mushrooms, these are every bit as delicious as sauteed mushrooms.]]> http://thehealthyeatingsite.com/marinated-portobello-mushrooms/ I love this pate, it's so tasty, nutritious and versatile. It can be used in sandwiches and wraps, as a spread or dip or simply drop a scoop on top of a green salad. It's also called TuNo because it tastes and looks very similar to tuna salad, but it's vegan, in fact it's a super-healthy raw vegan dish. Now if you're one of those vegetarians or vegans who hates the taste and smell of tuna, you'll still love this no fishy taste or smell. I suspect what most people really love about tuna salad is more to do with the added ingredients than with the tuna itself. But the tuna provides a vehicle and texture that holds it all together and gives you that high-protein full feeling. Well, the walnuts and sunflower seeds do the same in this case, and the taste really comes from the spices and other added ingredients.

Great dish to serve to your non-vegan friends - see how many of them can guess that it's not actually tuna.]]> http://thehealthyeatingsite.com/sunflower-walnut-pate-tuno/ This healthy, filling, yummy dessert is quick to make as long as you remember to start the chia seeds soaking in advance. If you start the chia seeds soaking in the morning you can have your pudding for dinner. The bee pollen and camu camu powder give an extra nutritional boost to this pudding. I’ll often [...]]]> http://thehealthyeatingsite.com/fruity-chia-pudding/ Goji berries (Lycium barbarum) are the most nutritionally dense fruit on Earth. They are a member of the nightshade family (Solonaceae), which contains many other common vegetables such as potato, sweet potato, tomato, eggplant, and pepper, as well as some poisonous plants like belladonna and deadly nightshade. Native to the [...]]]> http://thehealthyeatingsite.com/the-health-benefits-of-goji-berries/ I know this has nothing to do with food, but it’s something that I feel is so important to health and well being that I just have to share it with you. I’ve just come across this beautiful technique for bringing yourself back to the present moment, connecting with your body and expressing gratitude for [...]]]> http://thehealthyeatingsite.com/walking-gratitude-meditation/ I was having a sweet craving this evening… actually it was going on all day and I was trying to come up with something I could make with what I had on hand. Finally, the idea for this hit me. And oh did it hit the spot… the tahini adds an extra smoothness to this [...]]]> http://thehealthyeatingsite.com/vegan-vanilla-ice-cream/ My very favorite ice cream is coffee ice cream, and nothing else even comes close. Not only is it very difficult (read: impossible) to find good coffee ice cream in the shops here in New Zealand, but now that I’m not eating dairy, ice cream is off the menu… or is it? NO! Because there [...]]]> http://thehealthyeatingsite.com/delicious-dairy-free-coffee-ice-cream/
