Easy to make protein and health filled vegan breakfast

Black lentils are rich in iron, protein, dietary fiber and antioxidants- excellent for balancing sugar, cholesterol and digestive health. Beets are known for their ability to improve blood circulation, reduce blood pressure and increase natural energy thanks to their nitrate content. The salad is rich, wintery and especially healthy–combining the sweetness of the beets, roasted nuts and black lentils, which are rich in iron and protein. Suitable as a side dish to a hot meal

Best carrot cake ever and without flour or gluten

This amazing stuffed pumpkin brings love, health and seasonality to the table

Tabbouleh - a Mediterranean classic that is both refreshing and healthy salad. However, in its original version it's not suitable for celiac patients nor diabetics, as bulgur wheat contains gluten and raises sugar blood levels. Here, I've replaced it with my beloved millet, on which I have elaborated elsewhere, added roasted almonds and pickled lemon in addition to the usual greens. A wonderful salad to accompany a spring meal. What's inside? 1 cup millet A bunch of parsley

Turnip is a root vegetable rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They contain a high amount of vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system, along with dietary fiber that contributes to digestive health and balances blood sugar levels. In Chinese medicine, turnips are seen as a "sweet-spicy" food that helps move Qi (energy) and strengthen the lungs, and symbolizes the peak of winter. To this soup, I added more white friends such as parsley root, celery root, Jerusale

Don't have a lot of time to cook, but still want something nutritious and delicious? Shiitake mushrooms are rich in antioxidants and immune-supporting compounds, helping to reduce inflammation and promote heart health. They also aid in lowering blood lipids and cholesterol levels. Buckwheat is particularly wonderful in winter (warming) and is gluten-free, rich in protein, fiber, and minerals like magnesium, which contribute to balanced blood sugar levels and metabolic healt

I wrote about the wonderfulness of this pulse in another recipe. This ultimate very green salad that both cleanse and nurtures in terms of protein, complex carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. Like its little sisters (mung beans, black lentils), it contributes to lowering triglycerides and cholesterol , diabetes and may contribute to weight loss . I've also added celery and fennel which contribute to cleansing (=detox, for those looking for an accessible spring cleaning). W

I already talked about cabbage in a previous post (roasted cabbage), as a wonder vegetable from the cruciferous family that is rich in...

Many ask me what else can we eat for breakfast besides porridge? By and large, porridge , of any kind, would be my first choice and my recommendation to 90% of my patients. But what can we eat when we're bored? In the past I recommended healthy pancakes and now, Ada, a dear friend, has prepared sprouted millet tortillas that are snatched even before you finish making them (as breakfast or lunch/dinner). She chose millet because she knows how much I praise its qualities as

Mushrooms are available most of the year as they are grown on tree trunks, in a greenhouse or at home. But in nature they usually grow "after the rain". According to Chinese Medicine, mushrooms are a superfood, rich in complex carbohydrates (with medicinal activity), protein and minerals and are excellent for eliminating "excess" from the body (e.g. fats, cholesterol , sugar , etc.). Most of the mushrooms also have proven anti-cancer activity and calming abilities . This reci

A healthy recipe that took me 15 minutes to assemble, even at 6am! You can prepare it fresh and take a with you a healthy meal to work. No excuses! Why Snow peas? A healthy pea, perfect for the transition from winter to spring. The peas are not fully grown, yet sweet. The pods are very slightly bitter and crunchy. Low on starch. Rich in fiber, Vitamins A, C, K and Folic acid. Why Tofu? Protein rich! In addition, studies have shown that regular consumption is beneficial in p

According to Maimonides and Chinese medicine we are supposed to "eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a poor man" , but too often I meet patients who miss this important meal or drink coffee and a cookie and think that this will satisfy their body needs - to produce energy (Qi) that will allow them to do everything they need and want. A fascinating study compared a diet which is rich in the morning and poor in the evening to the opposite - poor in th

There are plenty of "grandma" soups that are excellent for all winter ailments. This time, I chose to create and share an Asian, vegetarian soup (but you can also replace the tofu with chicken, meat, fish) that contains vegetables with immune-boosting activity such as Daikon and Ginger, as well as many other healthy and mineral-rich vegetables. The noodles add more "weight" to the soup making it a whole meal and balanced meal. I used Buckwheat noodles, but you can use beans o

This is the first sweet recipe here, in honor of the new year. Sweet, nutritious and a serious booster when you're low on sugars. It's sooo rich that you won't want more than one a day. Remember that dates are healthy but 1date = 2 teaspoons of sugar, so consume in moderation. Another great recipe by my friend Irit Aish, Ayurvedic Medicine Consultant What's in it? 6 Dates Any nuts you like: Pecan, Almond, Pistachio, Cashew Optional: Coconut flakes How to? 1. Roast pecans, pi

Autumn / Winter are officially here and this soup is perfect for your health. I added a few additional ingredients that viruses are less likely to like. Perhaps Covid19 too, but it's not been researched. What's in it? 1/2 medium pumpkin or squash, cubed 2 medium beetroots, cubed 1 Leek, diced 2 garlic cloves, crushed ¼ cup fresh thyme 1 cm fresh ginger, grated 2 tbsp olive oil Vegetable or Chicken stock How to? Roast beetroots (with skin) and diced pumpkin. Beets take 45-60 m

Soups are in season (until May) and are a personal hobby. Most of them are actually also healthy :) This new soup is made of Black Lentils, a particularly nutritious and Yin-nourishing legume that do not require soaking or long cooking, a bit of sweet-ish and draining Azuki beans, and with the addition of white winter roots as parsley, celery and Jerusalem artichoke (great for lowering sugar levels and high blood pressure ). To this I added purple sweet potatoes (can be fou
