We had our third Daniel Plan/biblical foundations for health workshop and we made a healthy shake and dressing. I forgot the lemon so I just made it up.

I put it on organic spinach and let everybody try it. YUMMY! One person said, "I'm going to make that one tonight when I get home". It was already after 9 pm. I just barely taste tested it and after everybody ate it, there was no more, so I had some at home as well.

Personally, I don't like vegetables by themselves, especially raw cruciferous veggies like broccoli. I sometimes force myself to eat it because its so healthy. On the other hand, I have learned to almost make any veggie taste awesome, or for that matter, almost any food. Recipes down below!

Secret tips:

I was sharing with a patient how to make a winning salad dressing. She worked at the white house for years as the head chef. She said that they got to hang out for several times with a world renowned chef. Because it is not kosher to ask for the recipe, she just observed. After I told her my recipe, her discoveries with this chef revealed a similar dressing. See below for recipe.

My kids lick this off their plate because it's so good.

Here is the foundational ingredients that you can build world class dressing with:

1 tsp dijon mustard smooth or grainy 2 tbsp plus 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 tbsp mixed efas (from my office) or expeller expressed flax oil. This is the base recipe. I replaced the raw wine vinegar with the apple cider vinegar. I triple the amounts so I can have enough for family of 5 to last longer. Add herbs, garlic or anything else to your hearts desire. Enjoy!

Here is the one I made in the Daniel Class:

Serves 10 people plus.

1/2 cup good quality extra virgin Olive oil. Click here for good brands.
1/2 cup Mixed efa (Biotics brand carried at my office), More info.
1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
3 cloves minced garlic cloves
2-3 tsp Premier Pink Sea Salt
1 tbl Dijon Mustard
Enjoy!!!!

Here are materials to make dressing easier: Immersion blender and Lemon extractor, both inexpensive to buy.

Here are convenient healthy foods we get a Costco that require less prep time. Just add to smoothie or make a salad with it.

Yes I put coconut oil directly in my smoothies! Great for taste, anti-infection & even weight loss! 1 to 3 tbl per day per adult person.

I use these mason jars for storage of all liquid items, like the above salad dressing and use it for my daily power drink. Its a 32 oz size. Get a bunch at any Walmart, etc.

I use this Grass fed butter because its healthy and tastes great! Put over vegies with Premier Pink Salt above. Yummy!

Tip: Grass fed butter has tons better fats for you! More info.

Carbs, Carbs, Carbs! The woe of modern man. Here are some healthy carbs at Costco, assuming you are not crazy gluten sensitive. No gluten but still may inflame you if you are freaked by gluten. Otherwise, its ok.

Tip: Make sure that grains or starches are no more than 25% of your plate!
