Nutrition Tip – Make Your Own Salad Dressing

28 Sep

Most average commercial dressings contain rancid vegetable oils, trans fatty acids and additives so make your own salad dressing.

1-Minute Basic Dressing (3/4 cup)

  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon raw wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon expeller-expressed flax oil

 
Mix the mustard and vinegar in a small bowl. While mixing, add the olive oil in a thin stream.

When the oil is well mixed, add flax oil and use immediately.

Nutrition Tip – Organic Oatmeal

24 Sep

Don’t buy boxed breakfast cereals, even those made of whole grains. They are pricey, tend to be poor in nutrients (highly processed) and difficult to digest. One serving of good quality organic oatmeal costs half the amount of the average boxed cereals and is definitely more nutritious. For best nourishment, soak your oatmeal overnight! Once soaked, it takes less than 5 minutes to cook. Add natural sweeteners like Rapadura, raw honey, sea salt, chopped nuts or dried sweetened coconut meat for taste.
