blueberries-largeThere are some days that I find myself rushing around in the morning to get ready and I still have to make my breakfast before I run out the door. I always make my breakfast, no excuses. Sometimes I have to make it super fast so I’m not late to train my wonderful clients at 6 am. Am I the only one that rushes around in the morning?

This is a great way to keep you on track to shedding extra pounds and eating life giving foods.

Well, I thought I would show you what I do to get myself out the door fast and have a healthy breakfast in hand. This breakfast is super easy to make and it’s a great source of fiber, it’s super rich in antioxidants and has loads of fiber.

The main ingredient in this breakfast is raw, organic (if possible) soaked sunflower seeds which have been soaking in water since the night before (8-12 hours).

Sunflower seeds are packed with vitamin E, Vitamin B1, Selenium, Magnesium, and plenty more powerful nutrients. Eat the most nutrient rich foods to give your body maximum energy.

Just a recap on why you soak sunflower seeds. Now the reason you are soaking the sunflower seeds is so your body can maximize absorption of nutrients. Seeds naturally have phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors which block the absorption of certain nutrients and minerals. Once seeds, nuts, legumes, or grains have been soaked in water, the enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid are released and the nutrients are bio available making digestion easier on you body.

Ancient cultures have been soaking and sprouting for centuries to maximize the nutrient value of the food.

Let’s get to the recipe and watch the video to see how quick and easy this is to make:

1/3 Cup Sunflower seeds (soaked or raw) 2/3 cup

1/2 Tbsp Shredded Coconut

½ Tbsp Flaxseed (soaked or raw) 1 Tbsp

1/2 Cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

12 gr Protein Powder (Rice/hemp)

Dash Mineral Salt (Sea Salt or Himalayan)

Dash Cinnamon

1 Tbsp Raisins ¼ cup

¼ tsp Vanila extract (optional)

Sweetener (Agave Nectar/Stevia/Raw Honey)

Female Calories: 337 Protein: 23 g Carbs: 35 g Fat: 13 g

Mens Calories: 489 Protein: 31 g Carbs: 59 g Fat: 18 g

The ingredients that are bolded to the right of the ingredient is the different portion for men. The rest of the ingredients are the same.

Instructions:

If you’ve soaked your sunflower seeds, drain enough water to scoop out 1/3 cup (or more, depending on desired serving) of seeds. If not check out this video on how to soak sunflower seeds. Place any extra sunflower seeds in water and store in the refrigerator. Place all ingredients in your bowl including salt, cinnamon and raisins to taste. Add sweetener to taste (your choice—feel free to experiment). Add however much water you want to mix the dry ingredients and seeds together. I like to make it a little soupy, I guesstimate I use about 1/4-1/2 cup water. Mix it all together and it’s ready to eat! You can add green powder to this concoction also.

This quick and easy breakfast is as easy as making oatmeal! The amount that I made satisfied my hunger until late in to the morning.

sunflower-sproutsI hope everyone had a nice Labor Day weekend. I certainly did. It was our anniversary weekend and we celebrated it in San Diego!

I have received some questions about soaking and sprouting nuts and seeds because I have some recipes in my “easy veggie meal plans” that call for soaked and sprouted seeds.

Soaking and sprouting is cutting edge but it is also a lost and ancient process that promotes weight loss control, super healing and regenerates the body. I don’t know of any health experts sharing these tips and this wisdom with the world.

It truly is a hidden secret to longevity, beauty, and optimum health!

Soaking seeds is very easy to do and easy to prepare. If you’re like me, this is great because I do not like to spend time cooking, so soaking seeds is much quicker.

All it takes is the time to grab a container, fill it with seeds, add water and that’s it! Let them soak, rinse approximately once or twice a day and you are ready to mix them with your favorite fruits or veggies and spices.

Ok, so by now you’re asking, “Why in the world would you want to do such a thing like soak nuts and seeds?” It seems strange and out of the ordinary, but I never claimed to be typical! Who wants to be normal and get normal, ordinary results in life? Not me!

There are wonderful health benefits to eating sprouted seeds, nuts and legumes.

So let me explain the difference between eating raw vs. soaked seeds as this can be confusing.

When seeds are raw they are in a dormant state and contain enzyme inhibitors. For example in the desert, seeds can last for 3, 5, or 10+ years or longer without breaking down. This is a way to protect and preserve them until they make contact with water.

When the seeds make contact with water, the seeds release their enzyme inhibitors and they become enzyme active, allowing it to begin the life cycle and sprout into a living plant. It’s ok if you eat raw seeds that are not soaked.

However, soaking seeds gives you a whole new level of healthy food. If you are reading this blog, that tells me you value your health and you seek out quality and are one of the few that look to evolve to live the highest quality of life possible.

When raw seeds are soaked and sprouted they become enzyme active and these enzymes assist your body in digesting and metabolizing the bio-available nutrients at a cellular level. Enzymes begin to predigest the protein, carbs, and fat in the seeds making it easier for your body to digest them.

Seeds and nuts are a rich source of:

  • essential fatty acids
  • amino acids (protein)
  • fiber
  • zinc
  • potassium
  • iron
  • manganese
  • Vitamin A, B’s, C, E
  • calcium
  • magnesium
  • folate
  • antioxidants.

They are powerful for:

  • reducing inflammation
  • assist in lowering cholesterol
  • lowering blood pressure
  • have so many other health benefits.

Don’t under estimate the power of nuts and seeds. Just eat them!

When we consume dry raw seeds our bodies must rehydrate them before they can be digested which “robs” your body of vital water and makes it harder for you to digest the seeds. This is also why I don’t recommend eating too much dehydrated fruit. Make sure and drink plenty of water.

When you soak seeds, you are rehydrating them making them easier to digest. You can feel if they are easy to digest because your stomach will feel satisfied and light. You won’t feel tired, heavy or groggy after eating like you do when eating other meals. Soaked seeds are more plump, which also makes you feel full sooner, therefore you will not overeat.

How to soak and sprout seeds:
Fill your container with the seeds of your choice and add water to cover the seeds about 1-2 inches above the seeds. Leave the container, open lid, on your counter to sprout. The seeds need oxygen so if you need to cover the container to keep out bugs, cover with a cloth or paper towel. Seeds need to be rinsed morning and night (every 12 hours) except flax seeds.
• Sunflower seeds– soak only 8-12 hours then pour water out. They are ready to use! You may see the start of a sprout. you can continue sprouting to the point where they have green leaves. In the slightly sprouted stage they contain more protein and in the ful plant sprout stage they contain more carbohydrates (good carbs of course).
• Pumpkin seeds– same as sunflower seeds. You will not see them begin sprouting.
• Almonds– soak for 24 hours. Every 12 hours pour out water and refill with fresh water. I rinse in the morning and at night, this makes it easy to remember. You will not see them sprout.
• Flaxseeds– soak for 4-8 hours and ready to go. The flax seeds soak up all water and become gelatinous (slippery). This is normal. They are packed with extra fiber. Add a tablespoon to your smoothies or breakfast, easy! You won’t see flax seeds sprout unless you sprout them longer.
• Sesame seeds– They are the highest in calcium of all the seeds and nuts. Sesame seeds only need to soak for 4-8 hours. You won’t see sesame seeds sprout.
• Lentils– Soak for 2-3 days. Place ½ cup lentils to 2 cups water in container and let soak for 12 hours. Drain water and rinse with fresh water and pour out water. Keep lentils on counter out of sun light. There should only be a little moisture in the container now. This is all lentils need for sprouting. Rinse 2-3 times per day for several days. They will start to sprout a little tail but I tend to make my dish with them after a max of 2 days. I taste test them to make sure they are crunchy and chewy. Check out my easy lentil recipe.

And there you have it! All the information you need on soaking and sprouting…simple, right!?

You can even travel with soakcb20easyveggiemealsebook20final4ed seeds to make super healthy meals. Like in this video where I traveled to Philadelphia and packed a cooler of yummy treats including soaked almonds.

I hope this answers your questions and shows you how easy yet powerful it is to do!

Wishing you wellness,

As shocking as this may sound, Labor Day is right around the corner! I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to an extra day off for some relaxation and being with friends—who’s with me?!?

But here’s the thing: When friends get together and everything on the menu—from the main course cooking on the “Barbie” to the bean dip to the side dishes and even the dessert (ok, just kidding)—is meat based, what is a vegetarian to do?

You’ve come to the right place! Here are some tasty recipes and ideas to make your Labor Day more meatless, more guilt-free and much more enjoyable!

Check out these cool and fun recipes! Show your non-vegetarian friends how easy and awesome it is to make healthy vegetarian dishes!

Emergency Vegetarian Road Trip

Posted by Kardena

cb20theeasyvegetarianlifestyleebook-final4Late last month my husband Mark got a call from his family that we were dreading.  His Uncle Frank had passed away from a terminal illness. It was a very sad time for us since we were so close to him and he was such a wonderful person.

We quickly booked our flights the next day to Philadelphia for the funeral. I know this is a sad story, but I’m sharing this with you because this is an opportunity to share with you how I eat healthy while traveling on the road, in flight, and laying over in airports. Even last minute notice!

Part of my packing routine, besides packing every outfit I can think of and fit in a 2’ by 3’bag, is packing a lunchbox of yummy healthy treats for the flight.

Going from west coast to east coast is especially challenging since we always have a layover for several hours somewhere like Phoenix or Las Vegas, then we take the red eye flight. Which means our flight departs at 10pm and we fly through the night and arrive at 6am the next morning.

Our journey began at 5 pm so we needed food for dinner, snacks and breakfast since we got into Philly at 6’ish in the morning.

The key to losing weight and staying lean and fit is preparation.

A little preparation goes a long way! Did you know you can take your own food through security? Most people we spoke to didn’t know this.  Just liquids, gels or gooey stuff they don’t allow if it’s over 3 oz.

Here is what I brought on our trip below.  Please make sure you also check out the vegetarian travel nutrition video to see a visual.

You’ll see in the video (below) that I just gathered all the veggies I had in the refrigerator and made a huge salad. It was tasty!

My quick travel food list:

1.    Huge salad with salad dressing on it. That salad lasted us 2 meals. 2 for me and 2 for my husband.

2.    2-4 healthy bars

3.    fresh celery, carrots, and cucumbers

4.    nectarines

5.    a baggy of soaked almonds

6.    seaweed snacks – yep I love them!  Even the girl across the aisle from New Jersey asked about them, it was funny as the whole row in the plane got involved in the conversation.  My food stirred up conversation, again!  I even gave samples to the whole aisle, and people loved it!

7.    And finally, a bag of flax crackers

These snacks actually were a life saver because we ate them on the way home also!


I tell ya, we ate like kings and queens. You always feel so good about yourself when you are doing things that are great for your body.

It was funny because we asked a very nice guy (Thx Avi!) sitting near us in the airport to film us.

Afterwards he was so impressed with our feast we had brought, that he started confessing that he knew that he should also be stepping up and making better choices.  The only difference between us and him is that we took a little action step that makes a world of difference.

Even if you can bring some healthy treats to supplement a meal, you need to eat in the airport right?

Our plan will help you eat healthier and not have to lean on junk you know is bad for you.

cb20easyveggiemealsebook20final42If I run out of salad dressing at home, I will find a Mexican restaurant in the airport and buy salsa from them and put it on my salad.  Often they give it to me free!  I’ll also buy fresh guacamole and dip my veggies in it.

These are just some ideas to get you thinking of how you can step up your travel game!

Wishing you wellness,

New Smoothie Recipe Time!

Posted by Kardena

cb-lazymansguideebook-final4I was just talking to my friend, Craig Ballantyne (also known as the “Lazy Vegetarian”) and he’s been sticking to his vegetarian meal plan.

Unfortunately – in my opinion – he’s no longer vegan, but he’s doing great and he even went all the way to Europe without eating meat (but he did say he had a little bit of fish – but of course, that’s fine once in a while).

He also said he’s been drinking a lot of smoothies and sent me a few of his recipes. He sure likes to experiment, so I’ll just share the best ones with you.

Craig’s Absolute Best Vegan Smoothie Recipe

– Almond milk
– Raspberries
– 1 Banana (frozen, preferably)smoothies
– Blueberries
– Cacao nibs
– Walnuts
– Organic peanut butter
– Sesame seeds (good source of calcium)

He says this one is “safe” and not too adventurous. If it still scares you a bit, cut out the cacao nibs and walnuts. That will give you a smoother smoothie and one that even your kids would love.

However, he loves the cacao nibs and says they give him a boost of mental energy, plus they go really well with the peanut butter.

Craig’s Adventurous Green-Fruit Smoothie

– Almond milk
– Frozen strawberries
– 1 banana
– Sunflower seeds (handful)green smoothie
– Flax meal (just 1 tablespoon)
– 1 handful of spinach (yes, spinach!)
– 3g of Spirulina powder
– raw almond butter

This one won’t look as good as the other one, but don’t worry, it tastes great (the banana is the key to making any smoothie taste great – provided you like banana of course!).

You won’t taste the spinach or spirulina at all, however they both make the smoothie dark green.

Let me know what you think of Craig’s smoothies. If you want more protein, add Sun Warrior protein (a great mix of vegan protein sources).

And now here’s one of my favorite smoothies from the Easy Veggie Meal Plans.

Low Glycemic Chocolate-Green Smoothie – 344 Calories

1 tablespoon hemp seeds
1 Tbsp of soaked brown flax seed
1 tsp of raw coconut butter
1 tbsp raw cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon of maca
1/8 cup of goji berries
½ small cucumber
1 tsp vanilla extract (no alcohol)
1 teaspoon of your favorite dried green supplement

Add ½ Cup Water and blend together

Optional: Dash Stevia, water, ice to taste only

Add stevia (Powder or Liquid form) to taste to keep it low Glycemic.

Let me know your favorite smoothie recipe in our comment’s area.

How to Have More Energy

Posted by Kardena

dsc07967If you are like the average person, then you are struggling to have more energy. And aside from sleep and regular exercise, eating the right food is the 3rd most important factor in how you feel.

If you eat a larger than normal meal or a calorie dense meal, do you notice how tired you feel afterwards? This is what I call food coma.

This is where you get extremely tired and you start to regret stuffing yourself, but it’s too late, the damage is done.

You can barely keep your eyes open and all you want to do is crawl up into a ball and go to sleep. You can’t focus or concentrate on work and even a simple conversation takes effort. All you want to do is lie down.

That’s how important food is for our energy levels.

So many people have this experience on a daily basis. In fact, I was just like this during high school when I would gorge on fast food and pizza and junk. But this is not how your body should feel after meals.cb20101deliciousvegrecipesebook20final4

With the Vegetarian Lifestyle, you won’t be sleepy after you eat.

In fact, you’ll be alert, mentally sharp, and physically ready to take on the world.

By eating high nutrient low calorie foods, you will eliminate the side effects from food comas.

I guarantee you’ll have more energy with the Veggie Meal Plans diet than you have on any other diet – simply because you will NOT be restricting your calorie or nutrient intake – in fact, you’ll be able to fill yourself up with our delicious foods.

smoothieI love making smoothies because they give me so much energy in the morning. I’ll blend different fruits and vegetables with a little protein powder to make easy to digest and energizing drinks. I’ll also add a tiny bit of fresh ginger to give it a zing and anti-inflammatory properties.

You won’t get the same energy or health benefits from a plate of bacon, eggs, and white-flour pancakes!

I also love to make fresh, flavorful soups. And it’s easy too.

I make soups in the blender or food processor, such as a simple tomato gazpacho soup, or Mexican green soup, or an Asian inspired coconut curry soup. These soups can be warmed on the stove or eaten at room temperature. These foods are full of life!  I use everything from carrots, celery, broccoli, cilantro, basil, onions, coconut, apples, oranges, lemon, and a variety of spices.

I make these really great wraps using a low-carb tortilla, romaine lettuce leaf, or a collard green leaf as the wrap shell.

cb20easyveggiemealsebook20final4Each wrap is lovingly filled with fresh veggies like spinach, sprouts, green onions, cilantro, avocado, tomatoes, and then I add hummus, salsa, or herb seasonings/salt. I also make a pate from sunflower seeds and spices, tempeh, or seitan, which makes the wrap filling, very nutritious, and energizing!

So get rid of the junk food in your diet and switch to a healthier way of eating that will give you more energy.

Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and you’ll notice a difference immediately!

To your health,

Kardena Pauza

cb20theeasyvegetarianlifestyleebook-final4Both the vegetarian diet lifestyle and the environment are two topics that are near to my heart, so today I want to share with you the section from my book, “The Vegetarian Lifestyle” that explains the environmental destruction caused by our dependence on livestock…

The Truth About the Vegetarian Lifestyle and the Environment

And while the Vegetarian Lifestyle is one of the best things you can do for your own health, it’s also one of the most important things you can do for the health of the planet.

Eating a plant-based diet is a giant step toward improving our environment. It saves our drinking water, our food supply, our soil, and atmosphere.

Let me explain…

First we need to start by looking the resources it takes to raise animals for food. The amount of food needed to raise livestock is staggering. Here’s the shocking truth about what it takes to raise your burgers and chicken breasts!

•    Livestock consume massive amounts of corn, soybeans, and grain.
•    If these resources were fed directly to people, we could feed millions of people!
•    Livestock also produces huge amounts of methane and other greenhouse gasses which may harm the environment.

Think of all the land we wouldn’t need to farm, water we wouldn’t have to use, fossil fuels for shipping livestock we wouldn’t need, and the pollution we wouldn’t create if we didn’t have to support over HALF A BILLION livestock a year.
pig
That’s right, according to the government, in 1997 farms in the USA were home to…

•    403,000,000 chickens (That’s 403 MILLION chickens!)
•    99,500,000 cattle (Almost 100 million cows)
•    59,900,000 hogs (60 million piggys!)
•    7,600,000 sheep (Do you think anyone fall asleep while counting the sheep?)

By consuming less meat and more plants, we could save our soils from over-farming and reduce the loss of our nutrient rich top soil that is being depleted at a dramatic pace.

And it gets worse.

At those terrible factory farms that you’ve heard so much about, livestock manure is collected in enormous sewer systems. These “pools of poop” are several football fields in length and hold millions of gallons of livestock waste.

And when these high concentrations of manure overflow, leak, and spill, it can contaminate our drinking water and cause deadly water borne disease outbreaks in humans. Plus, it’s just disgusting to think that livestock waste might be in our water.

In addition to sabotaging our water supplies, factory-farmed animals consume massive amounts of water.

Millions of gallons of fresh water are used in the United States everyday to clean dairy operations, provide drinking water for livestock, to clean feedlots, and manage those awful manure tanks.

Plus, each year farmers cut down more of the rain forest for livestock production and destroy huge tracts of land.

I hope this section has been an eye opener for you.

If we cut down our consumption and reliance on livestock, we can feed more people for less money while having less of an impact on the environment. cb20easyveggiemealsebook20final44

It’s the right thing to do. So at the very least, go from meat everyday to every other day. And then try and cut back a little more each month.

A vegetarian diet – done right, can help the environment while helping you get healthy and lose weight.

It’s a good thing to do,
