Dear Gina,
Many of you ask again and again for recipes. In The Nutritional Cleanse Guide there are over 50 go to recipes. What is most important is developing the tools for not only spotting a healthy recipe but knowing how to makeover any recipe to be healthier. One of my favorite jobs was working at New Life Spa in Vermont where we taught clients how to transform recipes. Substitutes for butter included applesauce, increasing fiber by adding bran, and whole grains, and cutting sugar down by half or more. I always substitute raw honey in place of sugar. Today I would suggest looking for recipes which are nut and seed based, green based, protein based, include flax, berries and and some dried fruits. And t there are ways to enjoy sweets. Recently I discovered an amazing almond meal recipe, and also still love a new raw energy bar given to me by Linda Heller. When these are not in my fridge I am missing them. So enjoy a few favorites here to add to your festivities this summer and your quest for health.
Wishing you health,
Lynn

In China where energy is viewed in terms of yin and yang, yin representing nutritive processes in the body.
