Cauliflower & White Bean Soup w/ Caramelized Leeks
This is a super creamy & delicate cauliflower & bean soup. It’s delicious on its own, or with caramelized leeks that make it a bit more savory. If you’re on a strict anti-inflammatory cleanse, you can omit the white beans and paprika. It will change the consistency a bit but will still taste as delicious….
Quinoa Veggie Bowl w/ Sautéed Brussels Sprouts

Things to Know About Cookware
Cooking with nonstick cookware
Nonstick cookware contains dangerous chemicals, including perfluorocarbons (PFCs), which studies have linked to cancer, liver damage, developmental problems, and even early menopause. When heated to high temperatures, PFCs are released into the air and we ingest the fumes. We also ingest PFCs through our food if the nonstick coating is scratched. Typically, nonstick cookware is made from aluminum that is coated with a “non-stick” fluoropolymer-based substance.
Hazards of cooking with aluminum
Scientific studies have shown that people who cook with aluminum saucepans and utensils have higher chance of developing Alzheimer’s because the aluminum (not only in the food, but also as a vapour coming off a hot saucepan) enters the bloodstream and eventually makes its way into the blood supply of the brain. There, it is absorbed into the cerebrospinal fluid and causes amyloidal plaques (deposits of aluminum silicate) within the brain tissue that dramatically inhibit certain cells critical to memory and learning. These plaques can eventually lead to Alzheimer’s and other conditions causing mental impairment.

SUPER SALAD | Dr. Alejandro Junger – the CLEAN Program, Los Angeles
“The meal that I most commonly prepare for myself and my family is what I call a ‘super salad’. I don’t have a fixed recipe for it. Rather, I work with what I have available at the time of preparation. I mix every single veggie that I have in my fridge. All kinds of greens (butter lettuce, romaine, arugula, spinach, kale, sprouts), plus cucumbers, avocado, tomatoes, broccoli and grated carrots. Then I dress it with olive oil, lemon, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, nutritional yeast and spirulina.”…
How Can Vegetarians Get Complete Protein Without Eating Meat?
As I child, I hated both meat and fish. It was the texture, bones, veins, the fat, and the skin. I was disgusted and therefore completely unconvinced I needed it.
As I’ve grown, I personally have found certain poultry and fish work well for my body, but if it were up to me, I would choose vegetarianism. The goal for vegans and vegetarians is to ensure they consume enough of the ‘complete proteins’ their bodies need. A complete protein is a protein that contains all essential amino acids….
