Once in a while, I share a sweet recipe. This one is as healthy as it gets. Of course, what always matters most is how much you eat of it (and other carbs). What’s inside? 1½ cups spelt flour 1¼ teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2–3 bananas) ¼ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar ¼ cup olive oil ½ cup chopped walnuts ¼ cup 70% dark chocolate chips or chunks (optional) How to?

A salad which is actually a meal by itself, filled with: Wonderful legumes-black lentils (aka as Beluga lentils). Bursting with protein and fiber, calcium, iron and potassium. They are also rich in anthocyanin , the antioxidant that is responsible for the color in purple foods (berries, pomegranate, etc.), and is linked to a variety of health benefits such as "cleaning" of blood vessels, prevention of cancer, dementia, and anti-inflammatory activity. Cooking lentils in water

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

I swear that until I got them from my farmer, one winter evening two years ago, you would have not seen me go anywhere near Brussels Sprouts. The distant memories from my days in England, when they were served as a side-dish in college, boiled forever and washed over with butter kept them away from my kitchen. But in the last 2 years it all changed and in the winter, it is a regular in our weekly menu. Beyond its beauty, Brussels Sprouts, as befits most members of the crucife

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.

Roast beetroots (with skin) and diced pumpkin. Beets take 45-60 m

And so again, I return to millet, my favorite grain and hopefully for my patients as well. Why? According to Chinese medicine it is a both cooling and drying, and in the 21st century diet, this can only be healthy (to most patients). For diabetics , for overweight people, for high cholesterol - all are manifestations of heat and damp-phlegm. And again I will repeat this - millet has no taste on its own – it will take whatever you give him. If you make a pot left unseasoned,

According to Chinese medicine, each season of the year belongs to one of the 5 elements, to a specific color, to a unique flavor, to a bodily organ or system. We too (as part of nature) are affected by the seasons, even if the air-conditioning has made us forget we’re in the heat of the summer. According to the 5 element theory, the summer season is the most Yang period in the year and belongs to the Fire element which symbolizes extreme, dynamism, red and fiery. Summer is a
