A 70/30 Breakfast Idea

                                          

     A Breakfast To Start The Day Strong

Layer fresh Spinach on you plate.  I like to rough chop it.

In unflavored Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, real butter or the grease of clean bacon, cook one or two eggs on medium heat, so the yoke is really soft but the white is cooked. Pull the white away from the yoke as it cooks if you want the yellow soft.

Place the egg on top of the spinach. Allow the yoke to break and run into the Spinach.

Add  Tomato creatively.  (chopped, sliced or quartered.)  
Chopped Green Onions or sliced sweet.  Onions are optional.
Drizzle with Lemon Juice.
Salt and Pepper to taste.
 Top with a clean Bacon


The spinach, Coconut Oil, Tomato and Onions,  Lemon juice and mineral Salt are alkaliing.  The Bacon will be acidic. But could count for a healthy acid if not full of preservatives.   If the Egg is from a farm where chickens are free range and eat only natural food and have access to a rooster, they  will have a good PH balance. 

So you see that this breakfast will be at least 70/30 alkaline to acid.  If you drank 1 Tbs. raw Apple Cider Vinegar first thing in the morning, you are giving your body an excellent start for the work it has to do for the day.

Most breakfast  foods are very acidic.  Cold cereals and milk,  toast and jam,  sweet breads, bacon/sausage, grits, pancakes & syrup, coffee and store bought passturized fruit juices.  Instead of boxed dry cereal,  try cooked Quinoa and fresh fruit.  Even soaked Oatmeal is better than the prepared in a box.

By mid morning you can re-inforce your body alkaline reserves by drinking your refreshing  Green Liquid made from fresh spinach, cucumber, parsley, lime/lemon juice, etc.  See my blog recipes for Detox Smoothies and Elixirs.

Note:  If you want to continue to use a quality bread occassionally, toast one slice, lay it on your plate.  No butter.  Your yolk will be your fat and a good one.  Allow the Yolk to soak into your bread instead of coating the spinach.  In a bowl of chopped Spinach, add chopped onions or sliced, a squeeze of lemon juice, quality mineral salt and a little drizzle of Olive Oil which is optional.  Top your egg toast with this salad mix.  Add a slice of tomato or some chopped tomato or cherry tomato.
 
The picture in this blog is the evening meal that I fixed for us recently.  I used mayo with lemon juice to make it dressing consistently.  I added two soft cooked eggs or use hard boiled eggs.  Or no eggs at all.

# 12 Detox Fresh Juice

I was visiting my daughter a few days ago.  She was fighting a head cold that came on fast.  She treated herself entirely free of over-the-counter drugs.  I have two drinks that she used to share with you.  Using these drinks to treat your cold/flu symptoms is not a promise to prevent the cold from developing.  It needs to be viewed as a means to support the body in the healing crisis.  Your body is designed to heal itself and is strengthened in this process when we provide losts of liquid, rest and nutrients that increase the immune system.

Another reason for avoiding as much as possible over-the-counter medication to treat symptoms of cold and flu.  If the body is allowed to fight it's own battles, it get stronger and creates it's own rhythm for maintainance. 

                                          Apple Lemon Ginger
This drink is a very alkalizing delicious nutrient boost full of natural vitamin C.  This is not a blender drink as in smoothies.  Use a juicer.

In a juicer, run the following ingredients in the order given.
2 Apples
chunk Ginger
1 whole Lemon

I leave the Lemon peel on because I want the lemon essential oil in my system.  Essential oils are very health giving.  If you do not enjoy that much essential oil for the taste, remove half of the peel.

You want to get all of the juice in the Ginger Root, so I put it between the apples and lemon.


                                          Beet Carrot Blackberry

Beets are an excellent blood purifier, but many people do not like this root vegetable.  These blends of ingredients masks the objectable taste many object to of the beet. 

1/4 or 1/2 of a large Beet   (start with a forth of a beet)
2 Carrots
chunk of Ginger Root
1 cup Blackberries
1 whole Lemon  with peel for the essential oil.
1 cup water

Run all ingredients though your juicer except the water.  If blackberries are frozen, allow to thaw so they will juice and leave the seeds behind.  Seeds in Blackberries are very undesirable.  Add the water to the extracted juice.

If you do not have a juicer, but do have an industrial blender, you can still make this drink. 

Blend the Blackberries in a cup or less of water, then run it through a seive to remove the seeds.  Add this Blackberry water instead of another cup of water.  I would remove half of the peel from the lemon.  Also the seeds.  The rest of the ingregients should blend up in an industrial blender or a Nutra Bullet, etc. 

If it does not all blend and you don't like any pulp, allow it to drain through a seive.  Play around with this one.  What Beth fixed for herself and me was delicious!
