Citrus Mint Beet Salad

Citrus Mint Beet Salad

Would you believe I’ve never actually eaten raw beets before this awesome Citrus Mint Beet Salad? I’ve had them juice, roasted, and boiled, but not raw. However, while grocery shopping the other day, I found pre-spiralized beet noodles and just had to do something with them. I decided to make a citrus mint beet salad. With is still being over 100 here in the Valley, raw foods are still the way to go even though the rest of the country is cooling off. (I’m so jealous!)

Why Beets Rock

Many people these days tell me they don’t like beets. Personally, I believe we all like all vegetables some of the time. It just depends on how they are prepared! Depending on the color, beets can have an earthy flavor to them. The orange and yellow beets to be less earthy and sweeter than the gorgeous deep red beets. Every color gives us a variety of antioxidants. Yay for fighting cancer and aging! Beets also help our bodies with phase 2 detoxification. (To learn more about detox, check out my 5 day detox.) They are also a great source of folate, B6, iron, potassium, manganese, magnesium, and phosphorus. Even better, one cup is just 75 calories! Talk about bang for your buck.

A couple ways to get past the earthy flavor beets give (that’s all the awesome minerals by the way) is to mix them with citrus and/or vinegar. In most beet recipes, including my arugula salad with beets, goat cheese, and pepitas and my jicama beet citrus salad, you find beets paired with one or both. The second way to remove some of the earthy flavor is to boil them. I LOVE boiled beets. It takes like an hour, but it’s worth the effort in my opinion.

How To Make This Salad

For this recipe you will need a medium sized mixing bowl, a small bowl to make the dressing, a spiralizer (if you don’t buy them pre-spiralized), cutting board and knife. The ingredients you’ll need are beets, 1 navel orange, fresh mint, white balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and sea salt.

First up you’ll need to peel and spiralize two beets, or buy pre-spiralized beets from your local health food store, and place them in a medium sized mixing bowl. Next up thinly slice mint until you get a small handful (aboout 1/4 of a cup loosely packed) and add to the beets. Then take one navel orange and cut it in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into a small bowl (about 1 tablespoon), then peel and slice the other half into bite size pieces. Add to the beets and mint. In the small bowl with the orange juice, add 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive, one tablespoon of white balsamic vinegar (if you can’t find it or don’t have any, sherry vinegar will work as well), and a pinch of sea salt. Mix together then add to the salad and mix well. You can let sit for a few minutes or eat immediately. You can also make ahead and keep in the fridge for a couple days.

Enjoy!

Homemade Date Truffles are a delicious and healthy Homemade Date Truffles are a delicious and healthy snack that satisfy the sweet tooth. I actually don't make them often because I'll eat the entire batch in 2 days 🤭 They are so yummy though.

Dates have been around since around 5,000-6,000 BCE and are known as nature’s candy. Not only are they absolutely delicious, they are nutrient powerhouses. They contain protein, fatty acids and an array of vitamins and minerals. Including, but not limited to, Vitamin A, lutein, vitamin K, niacin, B6, folate, pantothenic acid (another B vitamin), choline (brain booster), calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc and phosphorus.

On top of all this, they help protect against tooth decay even being so high in natural sugars. This is because they contain elemental flourine, not the man made flouride that is in added to water or what is in flourinated toothpaste.

Ingredients 👇
Dates
Crushed almonds
Crushed cashews
Honey 
Coconut oil 
Vanilla extract 
Sea salt
Chocolate chips 
Shredded coconut or cocoa powder

7 snacks 🤤

One of the most effective ways to transform your h One of the most effective ways to transform your health, make your medication more effective, and just plain feel better is to clean up your diet.

This is often easier said than done. Changes habits is hard. It requires energy and time, which often is in short supply. However, it isn't as hard as you think. Here are my 3 steps to get started. I don't recommend doing them all at once. Start with step 1, then move on. Slow and steady wins the race.
Healthy eating gets boring fast when you don't add Healthy eating gets boring fast when you don't add flavor. How do you get flavor in a healthy way? 
◾️Herbs
◾️spices
◾️sauces
You can make the exact same protein and veggies taste at least 12 different ways depending on what you put on top.

My top favorite sauce is Chimichurri. It's a blend of parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, salt, and red pepper flakes blended into deliciousness. I put it on top of my cooked proteins, on my veggies, and will even use as a salad dressing. It's sooooooo good.

Bitter foods stimulates the entire digestive syste Bitter foods stimulates the entire digestive system from our saliva being able to more effectively start the breakdown of carbohydrates, hydrochloric acid being pumped into our stomachs in appropriate amounts, and increases bile production.

The benefits of digestive bitters are pretty amazing and include:

◾️Higher absorption of nutrition from our foods
◾️Especially vitamins A, D, K, E and B12
◾️Reduce incidences of heartburn
◾️Increase fat digestion, which is particularly important for those who have had their gallbladders removed or are concerned about their gallbladder health
◾️Cleansing of the liver
◾️Reduction in gas, bloating, and constipation
◾️Balancing blood sugar levels
◾️Appetite regulation
◾️Promotes healthy skin

Pretty awesome right?! Deficiencies in fat soluble nutrients, gallbladder issues, sluggish liver, constipation run pretty rampant these days. It’s nice to know we have a solution that doesn’t cause other health issues.

Rare chronic disorders are not only hard to diagno Rare chronic disorders are not only hard to diagnose, but they are also difficult to treat. Histamine Intolerance looks like a lot of random symptoms that don't make much sense. Once you finally know what is going on, your ND will lay out a plan to help you reduce the histamine build-up and get you feeling normal again.

Be sure to read all the pictures and learn what you have control over. As always, if you'd like a meal plan to give you a jump start while you figure things out, I got one for you.
