I find it ironic that the "A Carrot a Day" website is coming to fruition at Easter time. Get it? Carrots...bunnies...anyway…I will go with that and post my first posts about Easter. There are plenty of healing foods to consider for an Easter brunch or dinner. There are foods that will actually make you feel good and give you more energy for an Easter egg hunt; food that can actually help in your healing journey and better your chance of finding the golden egg before the kids do!

*All organic ingredients are highly suggested. Better for your health! Better for the planet!

Good Morning!!

I always start my morning with a cup of freshly brewed “clean” coffee (pre-meeting with the family)! Coffee is loaded with antioxidants and a great way to start the day. Life Boost is the only coffee I have found that meets my health standards.

Hint: Buy the Chocolate Coconut Truffle Coffee from Lifeboost! You won’t regret it!!

You can read more about the benefits of coffee here, if you aren’t sold on the idea!

Tofu Scramble Mixture with Fork in a Glass Bowl

Cook on low/medium heat for about 5-7 minutes.

I cook almost exclusively in Xtrema cookware. This scramble is cooked in their wok. Their pots and pans are 100% ceramic, non-toxic, and easy to clean. I searched high and low for the perfect non-toxic cookware, and this really is the best out there. If you would like to see their 3rd party testing sheets please let me know and I will get them to you.

Serve warm!

I either garnish my scramble with avocado, sprouts, and salsa or my mushroom gravy. It is also very good without a garnish.

Here is a picture of my leftover tofu scramble set atop some leafy greens with added wfpb sriacha and sprouts. Yes! Sometimes there are leftovers!!

Blueberries, Walnuts, Sprouts Salad in a Wooden Bowl with Wooden Serving Forks

SPRING SALAD

1 package of spring mix lettuce

2 chopped green onions

1 pint of blueberries

1 cup chopped walnuts

Sprouts of your choice (my favorite is broccoli sprouts for their high nutrition profile)

Salad Dressing Flax Seed Oil (See recipe below)

Mixed Salad with Blueberries, Walnuts, and Sprouts in a Wooden Bowl

You can grow your own green onions and sprouts with an easy-to-do kit from Hamama. This company has made sprouting by far the easiest way to get your sprouts ever. The nutrition profile of sprouts does not compare! (You can also get a kit to grow your own chives for the salad dressing).

Salad Dressing

(This salad dressing is bursting with a lot of flavor and omega-3 fatty acids)

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon powdered mustard

1 large clove garlic, roughly chopped

3 tablespoons flaxseed oil blend (See link below)

Instructions

Mix all ingredients in a shaker jar. Shake until thoroughly blended.

I love the Andreas oils. They are shelf-stable, cold-pressed, and do not require refrigeration like some other oils. And while I have received rancid oil from other companies claiming that they cold-press their oils, Andreas oils are never bitter or rancid. Bonus…oils are in a glass bottle!

Strawberries Dipped in Chocolate in a White Bowl

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Wash as many strawberries as you need and dry thoroughly (drying is very important so that your chocolate will stick).

Melt sugar-free cacao chips in a pan. It will depend on how many strawberries you use as to how many chips you need. I did about 8 oz of chips to a pint of strawberries. I use these healthy scrumptious chocolate chips, sweetened with nothing but date paste!! YUMMY!!

DIp the strawberries in the melted chocolate and set on parchment paper to cool. When chocolate shell is hardened you can move to a serving platter.

Carrot Juice

Ingredients

6 carrots

1 large apple

2 stalks of celery

1 knuckle sized knob of fresh ginger

Squeeze of lemon (Add as much as you like here. I like it pretty sour).

Instructions

Juice all ingredients except the lemon. Squeeze lemon into your juice after. You can always juice the lemon too of course, but I feel it overpowers the other flavors.

Cup of Tea with Magnesium Cream on a Floral Saucer

Organic Tea

Tea of your choice (see one of my #1 tea company choices below).

A packet of Purality Magnesium (this makes the perfect cream and sugar substitute).

I use many teas from Mountain Rose Herbs because I can trust that they are what they say they are. Their tea is made in-house by artisan experts who take great pride in their craft. Their teas are USDA organic.

Mountain Rose Herbs

I love adding these magnesium packets from Purality to my tea every morning. It really helps keep my magnesium levels up. It is also nice to take in the evening before bedtime to help you sleep.
