Can it be, Vegan Tuna??

Hello everyone:

Is it possible to have vegan tuna? In these times with all the toxins, mercury, PCB's and now tons of oil in the ocean, eating real tuna  might not be the best idea. This is a favorite recipe of mine when I am craving a tuna like pate. It also makes some great bite size snacks that pack a nutritional punch.

One of the nutrients that you will receive from this recipe is iodine. Iodine is greatly needed by the body to regulate your thyroid, energy, heart rate, calcium levels, immune response and metabolism. If you are having issues with your weight or hot/cold temperature, check your iodine level, you may be low. Iodine is also a wonderful chelator for mercury, lead, aluminum, and cadmium. So let's make a delicious raw vegan dish and fill up on our iodine and minerals!

Raw Vegan Tuna Pate

1/4 cup organic raw almonds, soaked overnight ( measure, then soak )
3/4 cup organic raw sunflower seeds, soaked and sprouted
2 TBS raw organic hemp seeds ( optional, adds protein and creamy texture )
1/4 cup diced organic tomatoes
1 cup organic zucchini, diced ( about 1 medium zucchini )
1 stalk organic celery, diced
1/4 cup organic red bell pepper
2 tsp organic fresh lemon juice
1 TBS olive oil or oil from sun dried tomatoes
4 -6 organic sun dried tomatoes, either rehydrated or in oil
1 tsp kelp powder ( optional, gives more tuna flavor )
dash sea salt to taste
4-6 raw nori sheets, cut into 1" by 2" pieces

In a food processor combine everything except the nori sheets. Process until smooth. Adjust the flavor. It is ready to be eaten as a pate on crackers, tomato rounds, cucumber slices, zucchini rounds or in collard green wraps. What is left spoon onto the nori pieces and dehydrate at 110 degrees until dry and crispy, about 8 hours.

In case you are not aware:

In 2007 the USDA passed a law that ALL almonds must be pasteurized, except if they are sold directly from the farm. Now, all the RAW almonds you see in the stores like Whole Foods, etc are PASTEURIZED, they are just not roasted and thus labeled raw. To buy really raw ( ones that will sprout ) almonds visit Organic Pastures, where they grow the organic almonds and ship to you from the farm.


  

               


Enjoy, have a FUN and wonderful 4th of July!!

Summertime Refreshing & Cleansing Green Juice

What a wonderful day! I am getting ready for a 7 day liver and gallbladder flush. I  haven't done one in a few years now, so this should be really good!! Maybe a I'll get a record 2000 stones out. I find that it is easier and healthier for your body if you eat as alkaline and raw as possible or juice at least 1 week prior to your flush. For more information on eating an alkaline diet, recipes and articles visit my website Alive N' Juicy.

Here is a tasty, easy juice that refreshes you, alkalizes you and flushes the kidneys, all at the same time. It various versions have become my daily summer juice for 2010. It goes like this...makes 1, 14 ounce serving.

4 stalks celery
1/2 large cucumber, sliced lengthwise
1/2 grapefruit peeled ( leave on as much of the white membrane as possible )
1 hand full parsley ( 8 - 10 sprigs )
2 kale leaves
1-2 cups watermelon diced
watermelon rinds sliced ( from the 1-2 cups )
slice of fresh ginger ( optional )

Juice the celery, cucumber, watermelon rinds and parsley. In a blender blend into juice the diced watermelon and grapefruit halve. Combine the two, stir and enjoy immediately!
If you do not have a juicer but have either a Vita Mix or a K-Tech blender, you can just blend the entire recipe and strain or use one of Elaina's nut milk bags if you want a thinner juice. Enjoy the juice and the summer. A toast to alkalizing for HEALTH, Cheers!

Many Blessings,

Coconut Macaroons

Hello Everyone:

It has been a fun several days. My friend Robert and I went on another Perfect Vacation. If you have never tried one, you are missing out. The ultimate beauty of these; they are ALWAYS interesting, fun and PERFECT! What more could you ask for?

I have been creatively playing in the kitchen again and made an easy coconut macaroon last night. You can eat this one as is, frozen or dehydrated. I have dehydrated several overnight and am now going to cover them in raw cacao! This is a very easy recipe and one the children can be involved in too!

Coconut Macaroons

makes about 25

                             2 cups almond meal / pulp from making almond milk

                             1 1/2 TBS chia seeds, ground ( measure, then grind )

                             6 TBS water for chia seeds

                             5 TBS creamed honey, agave or half of each mixed

                             1 cup coconut, shredded

                             1 tsp vanilla powder or extract

                             1/2 tsp coconut flavoring ( optional )

                             2 TBS coconut oil

                             dash salt

In a small bowl place the ground chia seeds, add 6 tablespoons water and mix throughly. Using a larger bowl, add the almond pulp, shredded coconut, salt, vanilla, coconut oil and flavoring, and mix. Then add the thickened chia seeds and honey. Stir until completely combined. Adjust flavor and sweetness. Spoon or scoop onto a dehydrator teflex sheet or parchment paper and form small cookies. Dehydrate at 105 degrees for 6-8 hours.

*** You can split the recipe, add 2 TBS cacao powder plus 1-2 TBS honey or agave and make chocolate coconut macaroons. If you make a full recipe you can substitute cacao butter for the coconut oil and add 4 or 5 TBS cacao powder to create a richer chocolate flavor.

Another variation is to add 1 TBS of maca powder or 2 TBS mesquite powder to either the vanilla or chocolate cookies.

For more easy recipes visit the recipe page of Alive n' Juicy. Please remember to always use as much ORGANIC as possible. It will help you become healthier and help our planet. Have fun and enjoy a delicious sweet treat, that is healthy and takes just minutes to make.

Blessings of creativity,

World Ocean Day

 Hi Everyone:

Today is World Ocean Day, and boy we sure can use it now. As the days roll by and the oil keeps pouring into the Gulf waters by the millions of gallons,( currently 25,490,800 gallons) I am happy that at least for today there is light shining on this very precious resource. Chevy and Jayni Chase, Ted Danson, Roz Savage, Brian Skerry, Sylvia Earle along with many others are speaking out to help bring awareness to our valuable water resource, the oceans. Thank you one and all for your dedication and exhausting efforts. Do you realize that 70-90% of the oxygen we breath comes form the Marine Phytoplankton in the oceans? If they die from pollution, over acid conditions or other factors, we may die also from oxygen depravation. This is now becoming a very realistic outcome, and one which I'm sure no one truly wants to manifest. Much has changed in our oceans in just 50 short years, what will happen in the next 25 years? Are the planetary oceans reflecting the personal toxicity within the mass human population? When will it be time for a juice fast and cleanse, both for humanity and our planet?

Watch as researcher Sylvia Earle from Mission Blue, as she describes the ocean changes from her personal experience over her 50 years of ocean research.



To help save the oceans and all the beautiful living species in them I believe conscious awareness and daily choice are greatly needed. You first must become aware, and then make deliberate daily choices that are for the highest good of the ALL. This is being responsible and living in harmony with the larger whole, humanity, our planet and later the universe and other planets. What steps can someone take to get started living more aware and conscious?

What you can do NOW...

• Seek out information, get educated, as you do you will connect to more people that are doing the same
• sign petitions - sign one now to STOP oil drilling NOW GO HERE TO SIGN NOW
• start a daily practice of good deeds in your own daily life
• ask when you make decisions, " is this for the highest good of myself and the ALL"
• choose organic foods that help sustain the planet and future generations instead of pollute 
• share the information you receive with others to help enlighten them and bring awareness into their life
• recycle, compost if you can
• start communities or groups to share resources
• choose to eat Organic vegetarian or vegan foods and NOT seafoods
• grow your own food and share with others
• pray for the oceans in what ever way works for you
• choose paper or bring your own cloth bags when you shop
• stop using plastic in your life and wearing synthetic clothing as much as possible
• use your money and choices as your VOTE, if you don't support companies by buying their products, they will have to stop making them. When enough of us stop buying the toxic products they will go away or be transformed into healthy choices for everyone
• join groups that help educate and raise awareness like Oceana or Mission Blue

Here are a couple videos to get you started. After you watch the amazing Roz Savage join her group Eco Heroes and start doing eco friendly deeds every day. Be sure to share this with all your friends and family to get them going too. Everyone must help to reverse the toxicity of this beautiful planet before it is too late.




This video is from National Geographic Underwater Photographer Brian Skerry. his story and pictures are AMAZING. You will see and learn about a wide variety of species that live in our oceans and what humans are doing to devastate some of them.




So please take time to increase your awareness, make personal choices that honor yourself and the planet and join some groups to spread the information and save our planet.

Blessings,
Dr. Diondra

Do you REALLY know what is in your FOOD?

     Hi Everyone:

Does everyone know what GMO ( Genetically Modified Organisms ) are and the effects they have on humans, and the environment? Do you know how to tell what foods are GMO or have GMO ingredients in them? Are you aware what effects GMO foods are having on the environment and the children? Please take time and watch this interesting and informative video to learn a wealth of information about Genetically Modified Organisms.

I was shocked, and frankly scared, when I heard some of the statics Jeffrey Smith presents in this lecture. Now I know the REAL truth about GMO. One of the ways for the US to have GMO banned from our food and our soil is to NOT BUY products that use them. I have made a pact with myself to NEVER buy GMO again, and I hope you will do the same. By choosing to support organic products you will be insuring your health and the health of our planet and children.

My next step is to grow some or all of my own food. You can do this inside using hydroponics or have the good old outdoor family garden. Either way you will be insuring healthy, fresh food for yourself and family. It is a wonderful learning tool for children, as well as an activity to involve the entire family. There are some great creative indoor gardening ideas happening right now. I love the one where you raise fish in the bottom and grow the food on top of the water. It reminds me of the beta bowls, where the beta fish are swimming and plants are growing in the same water, only lots bigger!
Check out the presentation on GMO and then get started growing your own special organic food garden. Eat Organic and Fresh, to live long and have lots of energy!


Everything You HAVE TO KNOW about Dangerous Genetically Modified Foods from Jeffrey Smith on Vimeo.

Some books to get you started with your own gardening and family project on the road to vibrant health!

          

                   

      


          

Have fun.

A Wild Ride

Hi Everyone:
Well here it comes, hold on to your hats, the wild ride has begun! ( at least for a few of us )
Astrologists are calling for the energy of CHANGE to kick in this month of June, with a rare formation called a Grand Cross taking place toward the end of July and into August.

Yesterday was a wild ride for my best friend, her 84 year old father and later in the day, myself. Interestingly, we all experienced the very same issue, "fear of  lack of control".
Let me tell you a little about my experience. For the past moth I have been using Dr. Bradley Nelson's Emotion Code system to heal the pain on the right side of my body. It is easy to use. You locate the trapped emotion with muscle testing and his handy chart. Then you just pass a magnet over the governing meridian and down your back three times to clear it away. ( if you are alone just start on your forehead and go over your head to the back of your neck ) It is sort of like clearing the magnetic strip on a credit card. Take a few walking steps and check to be sure it cleared. Easy right? Usually it is and it really works. Last night I did the process, cleared the trapped emotion of "lack of control" along with a few others. About half an hour later I looked at my poodle and thought " her stomach is huge, she has bloat". That made me very afraid, because bloat is an extremely deadly condition for dogs. As I was deciding what to do next I felt this strong energy come over me and my body started to literally physically shake. I was almost overtaken with fear, and that is when I realized it was the trapped emotion coming out through my body as it cleared. It took about 5 hours to fully clear and for me to be able to relax again knowing everything was alright, and I was just re-experiencing the emotion that had been trapped in my body for many years. I am very grateful for this experience.  Now my body and mind will function smoother and easer and I am free to make different decisions no longer bound by the fear created from this old trapped emotion. If this process sounds like something you would be interested in then click these links for more information on the Emotion Code, to buy Dr. Brad's book or come to a workshop  here in Las Vegas. The sooner you get CLEAR, the more FUN life will be!

On another note. The UN has just released a study they did.  It conclude that more people need to adopt a vegan, (meat & dairy free) diet in order for the planet to survive through 2050. You can read the study here. UN Study. I'm glad to see someone is keeping tabs of what is going on and reporting it. In my opinion more people adopting a vegan diet will not only help the planet physically, as they point out, it will also create a more peaceful, conscious society of humans. That is the great news!!
