Gluten-Free Vegan Recipes to Promote Candida Die-Off

Recipes to promote Candida Die-Off

Candida Yeast feeds on sugar, so it’s an important first step in a candida elimination diet to remove all sugar from your diet. Gluten can also impact your digestive system and make candida worse. And finally, coconut oil contains caprylic acid which has anti-fungal properties. Peanut Butter can contain mold, so I recommend using an alternative for your recipes (like almond butter or sunflower seed butter). Combined we have a need for gluten-free sugar-free peanut-free meals with the addition of an anti-fungal.  Here is a fantastic yeast-fighting recipe that is quick and easy to make, and is one of my recipes to promote candida die-off. For making 4 pancakes, here’s what you’ll need:

*1/2 cup Gluten-Free Pancake Mix (I recommend The Pure Pantry as pictured above)

*1 serving Ener-G Egg Replacer

*1TBSP Coconut oil

*3/4 cup Unsweetened WestSoy Soy Milk

 

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix with a fork until smoothe. Scoop 1/4 cup onto a pan per pancake, and cook over low-medium heat for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 more minute.  Top with Sunflower seed butter or Almond Butter instead of Syrup :)  It’s really delicious and unlike any other pancake its truly healthy!

    Vegan Daycares and Schools Going Vegan

    Schools Going Vegan across the U.S.

    Vegetarian diets have been considered healthy in the past few decades, but studies in recent years have questioned the validity of dairy & egg products being healthy as well.  With constant influx of undercover investigations appearing on facebook, youtube, and Netflix documentaries, more and more Americans are becoming aware of what really goes on in factory farms and food processing plants.  With heart disease & cancer being the leading causes of death in the United States, people are making the connection between diet and health. Schools Going Vegan is the new trend, and as a vegan and vegetarian trainer I am happy to share this!

    A child’s brain doubles in size it’s first year, and reaches 80% of it’s adult volume by age 3 (1).  Learning begins at birth, and Children develops 85% of it’s core structure by age 3 (2). This is a strong indicator that what children are fed at a young age will determine their eating habits later in life. Childhood Type II Diabetes has been on the rise, affecting 208,000 U.S. citizens under age 20 and continues to grow (3).  Millions of Americans have gone vegan, started feeding their kids vegan meals at home, and many others have started making healthier choices by switching from cow’s milk to dairy-free products or cutting red meat from their diet. The demand for vegan products is higher than ever, and now schools going vegan & daycares are creating plant-based menus for kids!

    The trend started with the nation’s first vegetarian public elementary school in May 2014 at Public School 244 in Queens, NY (4). Locally, you might be able to find an In-home Daycare now offering a fully plant-based menu. Some private daycares, such as Bright Horizons, will allow parents to pack vegan lunches for their children, although most facilities are nut-free.  In public daycares, your child’s pediatrician most likely needs to provide a note recommending soy milk otherwise will be required to serve cow’s milk. In May of this year, Dr. Barnard of PCRM announced that vegan lunches are coming to all L.A. Unified School District schools! It’s amazing, all of these schools going vegan!

      Avocado Bruschetta is Delicious!

       

      Ingredients:

      • 1 whole avocado1 tsp lemon juice
      • 4 slices gluten-free bread (I recommend Brown Rice Loaf)
      • 3 roma tomatos

      • 1tsp onion powder
      • 1tsp garlic powder
      • dash salt + pepper

      Instructions:  Toast gluten-free bread, then cut into fours and place on a large plate. Cut an avocado in half, toss the seed & scoop out all of the fruit. Mash the avocado in a small bowl and mix in lemon juice to make a quick guacamole. For a smooth guacamole, use an electric mixer. Spread the guacamole onto the bread squares. Next, cut off the ends of the tomatos and chop into small 1/2-inch chunks. Add spices and blend together. Scoop tomato mix onto the bread squares. They are ready to eat! Tip: The juices from tomato and the healthy fats from avocado make this appetizer taste delicious without adding oil or cheese.
