Vegan "Cheezy" Broccoli

This was soooooo delicious! OMG!  I want more!!  I just love being a vegan, so darn much! I am on Day 36 of eating the Crazy Sexy Diet Way!

There is absolutely NO dairy whatsoever in this recipe, but it sure tastes DARN GOOD!

This is the BEST Nutritional Yeast out there.  I even like to pop some popcorn in my hot air popper and add some olive oil and nutritional yeast to it.

Cheezy Broccoli

Steam your broccoli and set aside.

For the "Cheezy" Sauce:

1 Sweet Potato cooked and mashed. (removed the skin)
1 1/2 cups of water
1/4 cup of Kale Nutritional Yeast
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 Teaspoon Salt

Directions:
Combine the above ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth & creamy and pour over your broccoli.

 

I ate that whole plate and I might just go have some more!!!

Sexy Seed Cakes YUM!

I am really enjoying my 21 day Crazy Sexy Cleanse and modified Kris Carr’s recipe a little and came up with this Sexy Seed Cakes Healthy Recipe!  I was wondering how a pancake made with seeds would taste.

 

Ingredients

Makes 5 pancakes
1/4 cup millet
1 Tablespoon chia seeds
1 Tablespoon raw pumpkin seeds
1 Tablespoon raw sunflower seeds
1 Tablespoon flaxseeds
1/4 + 1/8  teaspoons baking soda
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1 packet (or more) stevia ( I used Liquid Stevia and a little organic coconut sugar)
Pinch of cinnamon
Unsweetened almond milk to thin batter

Directions
Use a coffee grinder for all the seeds except the chia—they don’t need to be ground. Use the grinder for the millet as well, or just use gluten-free flour. Mix all the ingredients with passion. Pour heaping tablespoons of batter onto a hot pan or griddle coated with coconut oil—the best oil for high heat. Cook until the batter starts to bubble and flip when the bottom of the cake is slightly brown.

Then for the Blueberry Syrup…Oh Em GEEEEEE!  That really made this the most amazing breakfast ever.  Almost up there with my Shakeology.  LOL

I just added some blueberries that I had frozen from the summertime….a couple handfuls.  I put them in a pan and added 1 tablespoon of Raw Honey to it and a little coconut sugar.  I heated until it was boiling good.  Then I took it off of the burner and covered it with a lid and just let it cool down.  Breakfast is now being served!!!

My tastebuds have changed so much during this cleanse.  I am on Day 13 of 21 days of the Crazy Sexy Adventure Cleanse, that I am doing with 27 others in a private facebook group.  We are called the Wellness Warriors.  We will be doing future cleanses, so if you are interested in feeling better than you EVER have in your entire life….like you are 21 again , I HIGHLY recommend getting the book Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr.  It has FOREVER changed my life.  I will never look at food the same way.  And I LOVE that I no longer have to count calories, or eat small portions.  I eat tons of good food and I am thrilled at how my body is looking and feeling, after just 13 days on this cleanse.

You can get your own book on the Walmart Website for cheap! Go HERE to get your own copy!  And if you would like to join a future 21 day cleanse for free, come and find me on my Facebook Page and send me a message. Here is the link to my Facebook Page One Healthy Nut.

Love you guys and I am totally here for you…..whatever you need and I will do my best to get more YUMMY recipes on here very soon!

 

Crazy Sexy Adventure Cleanse? What is it?

We will be starting our first official 21 Day Crazy Sexy Cleanse in September.  I am SO looking forward to this!  I know this is going to change peoples lives.

The purpose of this cleanse is to balance your body’s pH and get rid of toxins while also creating a completely healthier body.

The woman behind Crazy Sexy Diet is Kris Carr of Crazy Sexy Life.  She was diagnosed with cancer in 2003 and decided to take her life into her own hands by drastically changing her diet and lifestyle. She has published several books about this change in her life and has helped many other women change their health around. Eight years later, the cancer is in remission and she is a very energetic, healthy, passionate woman.

(Note: these aren’t guidelines for a vegan diet, these are guidelines for the crazy sexy diet 21-day cleanse, which happens to be vegan.)

• decrease the amount of animal products you consume (especially dairy). ideally, you shouldn’t be consuming any animal products at all.
• dumping refined sugars and processed starch. use low-glycemic fruits and sugar alternatives such as stevia or agave.
• no alcohol. no caffeine. no coffee. no chai.
• drinking a lot of green and white teas in lieu of caffeine/coffee/chai.
• ideally consume only liquids until lunch time (water, teas, smoothies, juices).
• solid fruits and healthy snacks (nuts, gluten-free bread with hummus) is OK.
• more than half your plate at lunch and dinner is covered with veggies.
• an optional (and suggested) juice fast once a week.
• drinking lots of clean, purified water.
• chewing meals thoroughly and carefully.
• limit food intake to at least three hours before bedtime.
• a daily dry-brushing ritual prior to a shower.
• using a neti pot to clean sinuses.
• cleaning our your colon on a regular basis. (sound fun, right?)
• moving your body (exercising) at least 35 minutes a day.
• fifteen-twenty minutes of meditation a day or prayer
• trying to spend at least five minutes outdoors in nature a day.
• laughing out loud and telling someone you love them daily.
• eight hours of uninterrupted sleep a night.
• using natural skin care products.

The ideal day during the cleanse consists of something like this:
Upon waking, a warm cup of water with a hint of lemon and pinch of cayenne pepper.
Meditate for a bit or take this time to pray, whichever fits into your personal life.
Dry brush, then shower; complete your morning routine.
A green juice or smoothie for breakfast
Drinking white or green tea during the day
A large vegetable salad for lunch
Some handfuls of nuts or almond butter on gluten-free bread as a snack;
maybe another green juice or smoothie and lightly cooked veggies for dinner; and no desert, but if you must, a little bit of 70% cacao candy.
A green juice fast once a week is suggested.
Of course, the cleanse varies daily, and Kris Carr offers many guidelines and tips in her book. If you have a chance to pick it up, please do — even if just to read and see what she says or pick up a few tips on how to improve your health!

As you can see from the photo below....I do NOT starve myself...I eat a ton of food and I am thinner than have been in a very long time and I finally got rid of that old muffin top, I used to sport. LOL  If you have not already read Eat to Live by Joel Furhman, Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr and The China Study....I HIGHLY recommend reading all 3 of them.  They truly changed my life and the way I look at food and the way that I eat.  Read them cover to cover.  Gaining the knowledge is what will make you successful with this new way of living!  I absolutely adore it! With that said....Breakfast is served!
