Truly Healthy Jello

Healthy Jello? It’s true. I haven’t had jello for years due to the food coloring, sugar or aspartame, and other questionable ingredients. Kids love jello and I felt bad telling my son he should not eat it when all his friends do. Then I learned about the many benefits of grass fed beef gelatin. This stuff is amazing in how it benefits our bodies!!!! I was so excited I bought the gelatin and am SO glad I did! I am excited to share with you the benefits of gelatin and a super simple jello recipe.

What I learned about gelatin is it:

  • helps strengthen bones and joints
  • helpful for arthritis relief
  • helps tighten loose skin (perfect for after childbirth tummy tightening or extreme weight loss)
  • supports hair and nail growth (who doesn’t want stronger, thicker nails and hair?)
  • may have anti-aging properties (helps reduce wrinkles in skin)
  • may help alleviate allergies including food allergies
  • aids in digestion
  • supports liver health
  • help rid the body of toxins
  • may also alleviate asthma, fatigue, diabetes, Crohn’s disease, and colitis
  • heals wounds faster
  • aids in weight loss
  • help build muscle
  • must be taken internally for benefits as the molecules are too big to be absorbed from topical application

You can see why I decided to buy it! Something so simple, yet so wonderful. I couldn’t wait to try making jello. I bought some concord grape juice (I wanted a fun color) and found a few recipes online to see other people’s experience with it. Because I like my jello firm, I added a little more gelatin than it calls for. It turned out PERFECT!!! Tasted fantastic, perfect texture and can’t wait to try many more flavors. A huge hit all around here.

 Ingredients:

  • 2 C 100% Organic Juice
  • 1TBS + 1 tsp grass fed beef gelatin (affiliate link)

Directions:

  1. Mix juice and gelatin into a small pot and bring to a simmer mixing until gelatin is dissolved (About 5 minutes)
  2. Pour into an 8×8 glass cake pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours
  3. Done!!!

 

I’m so excited! I look forward to trying all different flavors, adding in fruits and just having fun with it. I also learned you can use gelatin to make homemade fruit snacks!! I love gummi’s and so does my son! Super exciting!

Buy gelatin for your family and get started today!

Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get your Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get your powdered supplements in along with s ton of nutrients.

There is a right way and a wrong way to do smoothies.

Do not
✖️use only fruit
✖️protein powder and water or milk

Instead
✅combine fruit, greens, and a fat
✅add a protein powder (I prefer collagen peptides)
✅add water, coconut water, or milk of choice

One will leave you feeling hungry within the hour. The other will sustain you for hours. One has few nutrients, one has a lot of nutrients.

Stay sustained and get the most nutritional bang for your buck by revamping your smoothies.
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.

You can get this recipe over on my website: https://www.roadtolivingwhole.com/traditional-chimichurri-sauce/ and enjoy this delicious sauce too!

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.
