Making Healthy Food Convenient

March 10, 2018 in healthy food, recipes & food prep tips

Eating healthy doesn't not need to be complicated.

If you don't have the time or desire to follow a recipe . . . then don't.

For today's lunch I simply filled a pot with two inches of water and turned on the stove burner. As the water was coming to a rolling boil, I placed broccoli florets, some mushrooms, and a few quartered tomatoes in a bamboo steamer basket. [Just make sure the circumference of the pot is smaller than the basket(s).]

As soon as the water came to a boil, I put the steamer basket of vegetables on the pot and covered it with its lid.

I set the timer for 5 minutes--and then turned off the fire. Then I allowed it to steam for another five minutes.

For "dessert" I put equal amounts of frozen black cherries and pineapple into the VitaMix with some water. After blending it for about 20 seconds, I had a delicious sorbet.

Cherries, broccoli, and tomatoes are all good for the circulatory system--and cooked mushrooms will continually stop the growth of cancer cells. (Raw mushrooms are toxic; always eat them cooked.)

Emily Boller, artist, mother, and author of Starved to Obesity, lost 100 pounds more than fifteen years ago by eating an abundance of high-nutrient, plant-rich foods. Today, she’s certified in whole plant nutrition from the Nutritarian Education Institute. She’s on a mission to combine practical, no-nonsense and cost-effective tips—with easy to understand science—in order to help anyone escape the addictive grip of the Standard American Diet. And now, she’s on a mission to bring awareness to the suffocating and potentially deadly trap of eating disorders as well.
