Today was jam-packed with Body Ecology love! It started this morning when my doorbell rang. A package filled with my favourite BE products had arrived on my doorstep. I was SO excited - it felt like Christmas morning! The box had 8 love-inspiring presents for my body. As per my request, this was part of my compensation for writing a Body Ecology article last month. Amazing!
So far today, my favourite meals/snacks:
A millet pilaf with broccoli, zucchini, onion, olive oil, roasted garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and cultured veggies. Mmm. Delish.
Yummy salad: romaine lettuce, celery, grape tomatoes, pumpkin seeds (soaked for 24 hours), sesame oil, lemon and herb spices, and cultured veggies. Tasty!
Chocolate kefir drink: kefir, cocoa powder, carob powder, stevia. Amazing!
And fitting for my first BE entry – I made cultured (fermented) veggies today! Cultured vegetables (CVs) have become a staple in my diet. They’re a Body Ecology signature food and a ‘super-food’ that heals your digestive tract and builds your inner ecosystem. Similar to pickling, I shredded up veggies (today I used red and green cabbage, carrots, and collards), mixed in the Body Ecology culture starter, and put it all in jars (to allow the healthy bacteria to flourish), and now I wait for a week. Fermenting foods makes it more nutritious, delicious, and digestible! I could write a TON on how much I love CVs... and I’m sure I will!
I have posted some awesome pictures in the body ecology diet photos folder on facebook (http://bit.ly/d9eApN). Feel free to ask questions!
Off to make something with my quinoa that's soaked and ready to go!
