Q Quickies for Raw Plus Fun!
Enjoy summer and the tastes of the season without
worry. Lose weight, feel great and have fun!
Use any
fresh seasonal vegetable on the bbq with yummy sauces and
enjoy summer without denying yourself the tastes of
summer.
~ Grill a
whole onion in foil, with a hint of olive oil added.
Stick a clove of garlic into the center of the onion before
you wrap it and serve on a bed of lettuce, with grilled lean
chicken breasts or just by itself with a cold beverage.
~ Corn
on the bbq is a common enough practice here in North America.
This year keep it healthy and eliminate the butter.
Use olive oil and a sprinkle of lemon pepper.
Delicious and festive, served with a plate of fresh summer
greens and vinaigrette.
~ Try
sliced apple, raisin and asparagus, wrapped and
brought to warm on the grill. Serve over brown rice
drizzle with a light raspberry sauce. If you like
cheese, a bit of feta works beautifully.
~ If you
love fish, you'll love fish on a grill, packaged with
asparagus, or eggplant slices or try a bed of raw spinach
for your fish. Drizzle a full bodied red wine over the
fish and eat while steamy. Make sure you have a portion of
spinach larger than the portion of fish. This
percentage works best when combining proteins and
veggies.
~ Use
herbs and spices instead of sugary sauces like bbq and
glazes. Use olive oil as a base and experiment with
the herbs of the season...mints (lovely with fish, raw or
cooked) rosemary (amazing on veggies) and sage or thyme. Get
artistic and enjoy your food. Mrs. Dash herb combos
are a great start. Don't forget the lemon
juice...always a staple on a healthy summer table.
~ Your
favorite smoothies can be used as sauces for grilled
veggies. Use kabob sticks and skewer peppers, onion
pieces, tomato, and all manner of vegetables. Grill
until hot and drizzle banana kale or pineapple banana or any
other smoothie mix over them. Serve with a glass of
the smoothie on the side. Use fruit on the skewer for
sweeter treats, leaving them chilled with the smoothie
mixture over them.
~ The
more fresh fruits and veggies you can eat, the better you're
going to feel. Especially eating the foods in
season. Those are the most nutritious. But
having fun with grilling in the summer time is one of the
benefits of doing Raw Plus. It means you can enjoy
some of your favorite summer foods with just a few changes,
while continuing to lose weight and feel great!
