Clean Eating Turkey Breakfast Sausage

2014-02-02T07:54:00.003-08:00

Clean Eating Turkey Breakfast Sausage

(Makes 12 patties)

Ingredients:

1 1/4 pounds lean, ground turkey TJ's 99% FF
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon allspice and if you like it spicy use some Cayenne pepper

Directions:

In a medium mixing bowl, mix together all the ingredients.
Form into 12 equal portions, shape into patties and cook. You can either fry them or bake them it’s up to you.
If frying: Coconut oil or olive oil is a great way to go.
If baking: Use parchment and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes, give or take. Break one open to see if they are done cooking. I also highly recommend the use of a thermometer when cooking meat. The patties should reach at least 165 F. to be fully cooked.

AM Shake Q and A from my nutrionist

2014-01-31T12:29:00.000-08:00

Subject AM protean shake I have a shake every morning please let me know if there is anything I should add or subtract a little ice and water coconut or almond milk 6-8 oz 1 teaspoon of spirulina (Optional) pgx daily Bee Pollen (Optional) sm handful caco nibs (Optional) flax seed oil or udols 3 6 9 oil Sun Warrior protein vegan powder 1 teaspoon natural peanut\almond butter (Optional) splash pure vinnella extract (Optional) couple of handfuls of kale and spinach organic blueberries & 4-5 strawberries 1/2 to 1/4 banana any thoughts on athletic greens or green vibrance in liu of the spirulina?

Subject AM protean shake Hi Vincent! Generally this goods good. The changes I would make to reverse DM and prevent more insulin resistance include: 1. Sun warrior is ok. We like a combo of proteins such as one that contains protein not solely from brown rice such as a brown rice/chia/hemp mix. We carry a GREAT one which is a wonderful source of protein but it also has phytocnutrients to help heal a system devastated from the effects of imbalanced blood sugar. Check it out: http://store.bloodsugarsolution.com/Store/Show/Protein-Shakes/739/Pure-Lean-Powder%2c-chocolate Comes in Vanilla too 2. Get rid of the acai juice!! Until you complete the program, abstain from ALL juice. It is a quick sugar and raises your blood glucose too quickly. WHile on the program we suggest taking out all juices... 3. Switch the peanut butter to 2 tablespoons raw almonds. Might be good to stay away from peanuts for now. 4. For greens- these are EXCELLENT: http://store.drhyman.com/Store/Show/SearchResults/406/PaleoGreens-Lemon-Lime 5. Dr Hyman would suggest NO banana while on the advanced plan. I think the berries are sufficient for now. However if you feel you need some more carbs ( if you feel shaky, lightheaded, or any other low blood sugar symptoms) than a small bit of banana is fine. Otherwise, try to only include the berries for now. 6. Make sure the almond milk is unsweetened. Sincerely, Lizzy Nutrition Coaching Department Ultrawellness Nutrition Coaching 11/26/2012 3:40 PM

PGX Daily I use this everyday, it makes you feel full and lowers the GI of foods

2014-01-25T07:31:00.000-08:00

Manufacturer's Product Description

PGX Daily Singles granules provide all the benefits of this unique polysaccharide (fibre) blend, including blood sugar balancing and a feeling of fullness that lasts for hours. PGX goes beyond fibre. It is highly concentrated and works by absorbing water to provide a feeling of fullness and satisfaction that quickly curbs your appetite and cravings. Sprinkle unflavoured PGX Daily granules on your food. You will eat less, feel full and begin to get better control of your weight.

These unflavoured PGX granules mix easily and dissolve into food and beverages. Simply sprinkle on cereal, soups, yogurt or salads without affecting the flavour or "just add water" for an incredibly convenient way to control appetite.

PGX requires additional water to provide its full range of benefits. Always drink plenty of water when using any PGX product.

   * Helps to normalize blood sugar levels
   * Lowers the glycemic index of meals
   * Supports health weight loss
   * Reduces food cravings
   * Discreet and convenient
   * Flavour-free and mix easily

Recommended Use:

Contraindications:

PGX can slow the rate of absorption of medications, so it is recommended to take any oral medications 1 hour before PGX Daily Singles or 2 to 3 hours after.
Diabetics must monitor their blood sugar and adjust their medication accordingly as the PGX helps to control blood sugar and it may lessen the need for medications or insulin over time. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use.

2011-03-05T15:07:00.000-08:00

Ingredients:1/2 butternut squash
kosher salt

Directions:Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel and de-seed your butternut squash. If you're unfamiliar with handling them, you may have a little trouble at first. They're fairly easy to peel, but you'll need a sharp knife to cut them. Once your orange friend is peeled and seed-free, slice it in half. Then cut it up into french fry shapes. We like to use a crinkle cutter to make authentic looking crinkle cut fries, but they'll work any way you slice 'em. Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Cover lightly with kosher salt (regular salt works, too, but we prefer kosher). Place tray in your pre-heated oven and bake for 40 minutes or so, flipping halfway through baking process. Fries are done when they are starting to brown on the edges and get crispy. Serve with ketchup, or however else you enjoy fries or sweet potato fries!
