JUICES
Directions: Juice all ingredients through a juicer; add a dash of cinnamon,
ginger, or cayenne to enhance digestion. This is also known as warming
digestion.
Here are a few reminders:
• All juices are made for 1-2 servings.
• All juices must be made in a juicer unless you are using a high-speed
blender; if so, use a cheesecloth to strain the juice.
• If you have thyroid issues or sensitivity to foods that contain goitrogens, any
of the greens can be substituted with parsley or lettuce. You can also lightly
steam the dark leafy greens before using (applicable for both juices and
smoothies).

½ cup water

4 tablespoons melted coconut oil
½ cup almond butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
dash of sea salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix ground flax seeds and water in a large mixing bowl. Mix well and let it sit for
about 5 minutes.
Grease an 8-inch x 8-inch baking dish (or loaf pan) with coconut oil. Be sure to
get the oil in the corners and up the sides to prevent the bread from sticking.
Add wet ingredients (bananas, coconut oil, almond butter, and vanilla extract)
to the flax seed mixture. Mix well, then add the remaining dry ingredients. Pour
the batter into the greased pan and bake for about 35 minutes. You know the
bread is ready when you stick a fork or knife in the center and it comes out
clean. Allow the bread to cool before slicing. Enjoy with a seasonal fruit salad.

COCONUT YOGURT Serves 2
(Adapted from nomnompaleo.com)
1 15-ounce can coconut milk (BPA-free can)
1 probiotic capsule (at least 50 billion)
Remove the coconut milk from the can and pour it in a sterilized jar. Add the
contents of the probiotic capsule. Mix the contents well and tightly close the jar.
To incubate the yogurt, place jar of coconut milk in the oven with the light on
and tightly close the door. Do not turn the oven on. A closed oven with the light
on generates heat of about 105 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Incubate yogurt for

COCONUT WATER KEFIR
(Source: culturesforhealth.com)
The natural goodness of coconut water is further enhanced with the addition of
probiotics from the water kefir culture.
1-quart coconut water
3 tablespoons water kefir grains
Optional flavoring: 1 cup fresh fruit (mixtures of berries, lemon, etc. work best)
Activate dehydrated grains first using sugar water. Ideally, water kefir grains
should be cultured in sugar water (¼ cup sugar and 1-quart water) for 24-48
hours before coconut water kefir. The sugar water will feed and refresh the kefir
grains and keep them healthy. Once the grains begin producing water kefir,
they are ready to use with coconut water.
Place the water kefir grains in the coconut water. Cover the jar loosely with a
tight-weave towel or coffee filter and secure with a rubber band. Culture the
coconut water for 24-48 hours. Once the culturing process is complete, remove
the kefir grains. To add fruit flavoring, puree together the coconut water kefir
and the fruit.

GOLDEN KRAUT Makes about 2 quarts
(Source: culturesforhealth.com)
Garlic, ginger, and turmeric are used in many health tonics. This recipe
combines them all in a tangy sauerkraut recipe.
For an extra dose of goodness, cover this kraut with extra brine that you can drink
all on its own for a shot of probiotics, enzymes, and all the benefits of the spices.
5 pounds cabbage
1 clove of garlic, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons ground turmeric
3-5 tablespoons sea salt
Chop or finely grate cabbage and combine in a large bowl with all other
ingredients, starting with 3 tablespoons of salt.
Pound the cabbage with a Cabbage Crusher or other pounding tool for a few
minutes; taste for salt and adjust as needed. The kraut shouldn’t taste salty, but
should have plenty of flavor brought out by the salt.
Stuff the cabbage mixture into a clean glass jar, pressing the cabbage
underneath the liquid. If necessary, add a bit of water to completely cover
vegetables.
Cover the jar with a tight lid, airlock lid, or coffee filter secured with a rubber
band.
Culture at room temperature (60-70 degrees Fahrenheit is preferred) until
desired flavor and texture are achieved. If using a tight lid, burp (remove lid)
daily to release excess pressure.
Once the kraut is finished, put a tight lid on the jar and move to cold storage.
The sauerkraut’s flavor will continue to develop as it ages.
