Delicious raw yogurt recipe

This raw yogurt tastes very similar to regular milk yogurts, and at the same time it does not have such a negative effect on the body that modern yogurts made from milk and various chemicals have. Before writing this recipe for a good “yogurt”, I will tell you about the dangers of purchased yogurts that are sold in stores and supermarkets:

To give yogurt an attractive taste, manufacturers use E-951 flavor enhancer, or aspartame. Penetrating into the human body, aspartame forms formic acid, as well as formaldehyde and other carcinogens hazardous to health.
It is especially dangerous to eat yogurt from a swollen glass. Product fermentation is caused either by expired shelf life or by the presence of yeasts, molds and putrefactive bacteria. All these "inhabitants", breeding in yogurt, emit carbon dioxide, which "inflates" the cup.
Does yogurt contain fruit?

Even if you come across pieces of peach, strawberry or mango in a jar of yogurt, do not rush to rejoice. Fruit acids, as is known from the school chemistry course, are not “friends” with such beneficial lactic acid bacteria. For this reason, yogurt can only contain frozen or canned berries and fruits that have long lost all their useful substances. What you may think are "real" pieces of fresh fruit are actually the pomace left over from making marmalade or jelly. These extracts are flavored and enriched with citric acid and sugar.
Do you know that in European countries, brand products with the prefix "bio" have been discontinued and replaced by another product - "Activia"? This happened for the reason that the well-known delicacy is made synthetically, which means that it does not have the right to the prefix "bio".

Well, a few words about milk protein and fat in yogurt:

Milk protein consists mainly of casein - a paste. The body of a calf produces the enzyme renin. Renin breaks down casein, a human does not have such an enzyme. Casein is completely absorbed into the bloodstream and causes mucus, allergies, autoimmune diseases, and diabetes. But this does not mean that our body does not try to digest milk protein! He's still trying. As a result, a huge amount of acid is produced, which in turn damages our kidneys.
With fats, maybe everything would be fine if milk did not tend to oxidize. How many times will milk be poured from one container to another until it reaches the consumer! In nature, milk is consumed directly - without coming into contact with air. We get not just cholesterol, oxidized cholesterol, but it is even more harmful!

You can talk a lot more about the dangers of milk, but I hope you already know all this! So let's get back to our really alive and wonderful raw yogurt.
Its recipe is very simple.
Mix in a blender:
-3-4 bananas
- avocado
-berries to taste (blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, currants, etc.)

And your sweet, full-fat yogurt is ready. Enjoy your meal!

raw banana smoothie recipe

I want to tell you a recipe for a delicious banana cocktail, which we often make for ourselves. The recipe is very simple: to make a good mug of such a cocktail, just 5 medium apples and 1 banana are enough. Squeeze juice from apples (instead of apples, you can also take two oranges). Grind the banana in a blender and mix in the same place with freshly squeezed juice. It turns out such a very tasty thing, somewhat similar to a milkshake, only much tastier!

Flatbreads from sprouted grains:

The preparation of these cakes is described in the Gospel of the Essenes, an excellent replacement for bread, which is currently being prepared using very harmful thermophilic yeast.

Rinse wheat or rye, soak in water for 12 hours, if possible changing the water every 2-3 hours. After 12 hours, drain the water and wait another 11 hours. When the grains germinate (by 1-2 mm, no more), dry them in the sun or in a dehydrator for 2-3 hours. Then they are ground into flour in a blender, water is added, the dough is rolled out very thinly.

Then dry the cakes in a dehydrator in the "living foods" mode for two hours. Cakes, like fresh sprouted grains, are best consumed separately from other products. In order for them to show all their healing power, they must not be combined with anything in the stomach. The only exceptions are single-grade olive oil or pure water. Particularly unfavorable combinations that prevent the digestion and absorption of raw sprouted grains are salt and any inorganic additives (mineral water), nuts and seeds, and sour fruits.

Also a very important condition for good assimilation is thorough chewing.

It is very convenient to make such cakes, you can take them with you anywhere, unlike simply sprouted grains, which must be consumed immediately, until the length of the sprout exceeds 1 centimeter, otherwise the grain acquires completely different properties and is not healing for humans.

Raw vegetable salad with sprouted peas

In the cake, about 80 g of apricot kernels and nuts, fresh from the shell. Dates "Caspiran" and simple weighted, pitted about 120g.
Next comes a layer of banana sliced ​​\u200b\u200bin rings, put raisins in the gaps.

The cream is prepared in a blender: approximately 3/4 orange, zest, dried apricots (together with water) are placed in a blender and ground until smooth. Everything is laid out in a bowl, seeds are added until thick, cocoa butter is added, about 1 spoon for each glass of cream (do not forget that it sets quickly).

Raw chocolate recipe

from Sergey Grishaev

I made some candies from raw chocolate, which I made from raw cocoa beans and raw cocoa butter .... super :))

It turned out 12 large candies:
-50g cocoa beans
-50g cocoa butter
-30g honey
-nuts, raisins, 1 per candy

Grind the beans very, very finely, sift and grind again.
Prepare molds, put nuts and raisins in them.
Melt cocoa butter, mix with honey and cocoa powder (if necessary, heat it in warm water, I immediately foresaw a quick solidification, so I used a thin stainless cup, which I put in a large cup with warm water).
Pour into molds and refrigerate.
I sprinkled some more sweets with cinnamon and nutmeg .. super :)
It freezes very quickly, so it's better to mix and keep everything in a metal bowl that stands in warm water (check the temperature with your elbow - if it's not hot, then everything is OK :)).

My only negative was that I couldn’t grind the beans well in a blender .. I don’t have a coffee grinder to try if it works out better. Because of this, lumps-crystals of beans were felt in the sweets :(
But they could not spoil the impression of sweets, I have wanted raw chocolate for so long ...

Before my DR, I made a test portion, poured it into saved candy molds .......... :))) Non-raw food, they are in a beautiful, transparent box, there was plastic inside, in which non-raw food chocolates were, here in them flooded. It was hard to get out the next day. Therefore, for my DR, Lanna gave me silicone molds - orange slices and grape clusters.

I also recently learned how to use vanilla correctly - vanilla pods, they can be added to chocolate and you get delicious vanilla chocolate. To do this, we take the right amount of vanilla pod (or several pieces), open them, take out the seeds, crush them, while oil is released and an alluring smell spreads throughout the kitchen, to which all households and neighbors come running. Add the resulting mass to chocolate and enjoy new successes;))

"GREEK" CHEESE

The raw food diet uses green buckwheat. It has a white color and in its properties is much more useful than store-bought brown (fried). Traditionally, salads and sweet porridge are prepared from this product. And today I offer you a raw food recipe with green buckwheat, which will surprise all your guests - Greek cheese.

Before starting cooking, buckwheat needs to be germinated: pour spring water, leave for a couple of hours. Then we drain the water, wash the grains to wash off the specific plaque. Pour a thin layer into a plate, cover with gauze and wait exactly a day. The next day, small sprouts should appear, no more than 1 mm.

3. Fold the cheesecloth three times, put the cheese mass into it, squeeze out the liquid, but not dry (otherwise the finished cheese will crumble).
4. Put the mass in a deep bowl. After adding lemon juice, nutmeg and salt, rinse well with your hands. Wrap in cheesecloth, put in a colander and press for one day. Better put in the fridge.
5. After a day, we take it out of the refrigerator, unfold it, give it the desired shape with our hands - our cheese is ready to eat!

Bye everyone! Sincerely, Yuri Okunev.

Good afternoon friends, we will talk again today about the raw food diet, about what raw food dishes you can cook at home, while eating is not only healthy, but also tasty. The last one is a very important factor. After all, many who are just going to think that eating only one plant food, essentially grass, is scarce, insipid, monotonous. But this is far from true! Raw foods, if properly prepared, can produce dishes no less delicious than the usual traditional cooking method. will introduce you to simple and delicious raw food recipes, tell you how to properly germinate wheat and other cereals at home and how to choose the right products for a raw food diet.

How to germinate cereals

The most useful in the menu of any raw foodist are sprouted grains, so if you decide to join this food system, then you need to learn how to germinate the grain yourself. At one time I was fond of this and germinated wheat at home myself. I can say that it is a little troublesome, of course, but in principle, if you do it all the time, it will enter the system. I will say right away that I was not fond of a raw food diet, but added live sprouts to salads, first courses and other foods. It very well enriches the daily diet with all the necessary vitamins and minerals.

I bought the grain in trusted places, this is an important point, so that it is of the most reliable quality, not processed in any way, not spoiled from long lying and storage. A good alternative would be to buy grains in pet stores, grains sold for animals have the necessary supporting documents, which you can ask the seller.

How to cook wheat germ

Pour one or two handfuls of wheat with water and rinse every day in the morning and evening and put on the windowsill, where there is more light. On the third day, small sprouts will appear, on the fourth day you can already eat it. In order to constantly have sprouted wheat, you need to soak it daily. You can also use just soaked wheat, but sprouted wheat has 10 times more vitamins. Peas, lentils, beans are germinated in the same way.

I would also like to add to this that now you can buy ready-made sprouts of completely different grain crops in supermarkets. True, the price of the issue arises, it will be more economical to germinate it yourself. I also did this, if I had a lot of grain sprouting, and I didn’t have time to use everything so that the seedlings would not disappear, I froze them in the freezer. This is also a convenient option, so as not to germinate the grain all the time, but make a batch and eat until it runs out.

How to soak buckwheat

Buckwheat does not germinate. It is simply poured with water a centimeter above the level of the cereal so that all the liquid is absorbed during soaking. And they prepare it like this: the cereal needs to be sorted out, washed and poured with warm drinking water for 4-5 hours. It is advisable to take green buckwheat, since the dark-colored groats sold are fried and there is much less benefit in it.

How to choose the right products

The basis of the raw foodist's menu is: greens, nuts, cereals, fruits and vegetables. If you do not have the opportunity to grow them yourself, then it is important to choose the right products in the store. What should you pay attention to in order to avoid buying low-quality goods.

• Greens. On the green - black spots, these are traces of chemistry.
• Nuts. Stale peanuts and cashew nuts, which develop subtle but very harmful mold. This is noticeable by the brown, and not light yellow peel.
• Fruits and vegetables. Stale, even slightly spoiled oranges and tangerines, in general, all sluggish vegetables and fruits.

It is no secret that the cultivation of vegetables and fruits on an industrial scale is associated with the use of a huge number of fertilizers and chemicals. Such fruits contain a lot of dangerous nitrates and nitrites, you can read about how to avoid this and how a nanometer device can help in this.

How to prepare and store food

Greens. The greens must be peeled, wrapped in paper, then in polyethylene (since direct contact with the film is undesirable). Keep cold. Before use, separate the desired portion, wash thoroughly in a spacious bowl, changing the water. Wash lettuce leaves separately.

In the absence of fresh herbs, you can use dried ones. Parsley, celery, before drying, clean and rinse, separate the greens, cut the stems, chop the root. It is possible to dry on radiators. It is believed that for the greatest preservation of valuable elements, drying should be done in a jar. Dried herbs and roots, after soaking, can then be added to salads or drink infusions from them.

Berries. Harvesting of berries must be done without sugar, but with pasteurization (although this does not correspond to the principle of a raw food diet). You can also fill the berries with honey or freeze (but always at a temperature below -18 ° C). Some berries, such as cranberries or lingonberries, are well stored in a jar filled with ordinary running water on a refrigerator shelf.

You can read more about how to store food in the refrigerator so that they do not lose their beneficial properties.

And now let's look at the menu of a raw foodist, what tasty and healthy dishes can be prepared for the Lenten table. For filling many dishes with a raw food diet, ground sea kale (kelp) is mainly used in powder form. Seaweed replaces salt in all cooked dishes.

Lemon juice can be used as sour juice in all types of salad. But, if some starchy food is eaten at the same time as the salad - cereals, potatoes, etc., then it is better to acidify the salad with the juice of another (not citrus) fruit, for example, pomegranate, cranberries, etc.

Many recipes use onions so that it does not act very irritating, you can pour boiling water over the chopped onion, or use a salad variety instead of the usual onion - purple turnips (as in the photo).

Since beets and carrots are used raw, you need to choose the appropriate varieties. If carrots, then a juicy and sweet variety, for example, Nans, if beets, then sugar.

It is better to buy apples from ours, domestic production, garden antonovka is very good.

Instead of nuts, you can add sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, caraway seeds, etc. to salads.

You should beware of using table vinegar in any form, as it has a detrimental effect on the digestion process!

The army of raw food fans is growing year by year. This is not surprising, because modern scientists unanimously claim that raw plant foods are exactly the food that allows you to effortlessly lose weight, cleanse the body of harmful substances and keep blood vessels in good shape, saving yourself from deadly cardiovascular diseases.

There are not so many fans of the raw food diet in our country yet. The fact is that for many this nutrition system is associated with life from hand to mouth, because people simply do not know how you can eat only plant foods and at the same time cook tasty, healthy, and most importantly, hearty meals. And to correct this shortcoming, in this article we will show how diverse a raw food diet can be. Recipes for every day will help us with this.

10 simple raw food recipes for every day

1. Nut soup

You will be surprised, but the real soup can be made from almonds and walnuts. Try it, it's really delicious!

• 800 ml of water;
• 2 celery stalks;
• 1 tbsp chopped red onion;
• 1 tbsp olive oil;
• 1 tsp lemon juice;
• 1 tsp salt;
• 1 tsp turmeric.

Preparing this raw food soup is extremely simple: just grind all the ingredients except for the spices, and, after loading them into a blender bowl, grind them well. After that, it remains to add water, salt, turmeric, lemon juice and olive oil, and mix again in a blender until smooth. Enjoy your meal!

2. Mint Cucumber Soup

Cucumbers are one of the most favorite vegetables in the diet of a raw foodist, because they perfectly tone the body and fill it with vitality. But has anyone thought of combining cucumber and mint? And you try!

• 3 large cucumbers;
• 60 g mint leaves (fresh or dried);
• 60 g nuts (almonds or pine nuts);
• 1 lemon;

• 1 tsp sea ​​salt.

First, peel the lemon, and remove the seeds from the slices. We also remove the peel from cucumbers, and if available, seeds. All ingredients (except mint) are loaded into a blender bowl and mixed for a minute until they turn into a homogeneous thick paste. It remains only to add mint leaves to our dish and grind the cucumber soup for another 30 seconds. Pour the soup into a bowl, and top with thin slices of cucumber or lemon.

3. Strawberry gazpacho

Now let's talk about the original way of making Spanish gazpacho soup. In the raw food recipe, we will refuse to use bread, but we will add strawberries as one of the ingredients.

• 8 large strawberries;
• juice of ½ part of a lemon;

After cutting into pieces, send the vegetables to a blender and chop them well. Then add lemon juice and the remaining spices to the resulting mixture. Mix the products again in a blender until all the lumps are dissolved. The finished homogeneous mass will be our gazpacho soup, which you just need to pour into a plate and decorate with a sprig of basil before serving.
