A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
I try to eat raw alfalfa sprouts twice a week. Depending on what is available at the supermarket, I’ll alternate between alfalfa sprouts, alfalfa and broccoli sprouts, onion and alfalfa sprouts (onion sprouts are a tad bitter) and salad sprouts. I only buy organic sprouts. I normally buy organic or pesticide-free veggies that we eat…
These are some light snacks for Cass yesterday while waiting for me to bring her out for breakfast of bitter gourd + minced pork vermicelli, which is our absolute favorite on a Saturday morning… Izumio hydrogen water (to zap away free radicals), toasted almonds and toasted organic pumpkin seeds… And of course our smoothie…
Yesterday was awesome rawsome lunch day for me. I do that twice or thrice a week, for lunch. Today is yet another day of going raw for lunch, well almost, as I will be adding an egg to increase my hemoglobin levels. I am anemic, caused by heavy menses, which in turn is contributed by…
Here’s what I had for lunch yesterday… Onion and alfalfa sprouts with cherry tomatoes, Japanese kyuri, green grapes, Korean seasoned seaweed, toasted sesame seeds, fried shallots, 1/2 hard boiled egg and a small portion of pork chop (to bring my iron level up a few notches). I can very well do without any meat these…
Cass is such an easy-going child. She is not as persnickety when it comes to food, unlike her 2 older sisters. She will even be happy if she is given just Honey Stars or bread for lunch or dinner! But would I do that? Only if I am super duper busy and unwell to cook….
I have been going green and raw for the past few days. Firstly, I am not feeling 100% up to the mark, no thanks to the flu bugs loitering in our home. No matter how hard I try to eat clean, I somewhat succumbed to the virulent bugs. But the good thing is – the…
This is what I had for breakfast this morning… Roasted pumpkin wedges, carrots, aubergine and garlic with olive oil and salt. And I ate them cold. Straight from the fridge and I like it this way 🙂 In fact, I like food eaten (certain food, not all) straight from the fridge. I wonder if anyone…
This morning I bought a bottle of organic 100% pure maple syrup from the mini mart. I could not decide if I should buy it or otherwise as I think forking out RM34.90 for a 250ml bottle of syrup is just too expensive. At the mini mart, I was also hunting for agave nectar (which…
This bowl of overnight oats is probably the last thing you want to eat for breakfast. But looks can be deceiving. My bowl of chilled oats for today’s breakfast tastes awesome! It reminds me of the Bircher Muesli that I often eat at hotels for breakfast, sans the grated apple. …
I bought a jar of organic unsulphured blackstrap molasses last week. After reading up the health benefits of blackstrap molasses, I wanted to give it a try too. Instead of popping iron pills for anemia every other day, I thought I might as well pop something more natural like blackstrap molasses. Blacsktrap is a natural…
