Food Combining Basics
Food Combining Basics explores the impact of food combinations on digestion and nutrient absorption, advocating for mindful food pairings to optimize digestive health based on scientific research. It examines how different foods interact within your digestive system, affecting processes like enzyme activity and gastric pH, potentially leading to bloating or improved nutrient uptake. For example, understanding how alkaline conditions support carbohydrate digestion versus the acidic environment needed for protein digestion is key. The book argues that strategic food combining can alleviate digestive distress, challenging the ""eat everything in moderation"" approach. It begins with digestion basics and progresses through carbohydrate, protein, and fat digestion, culminating in practical guidelines and meal planning. This approach differentiates itself by grounding food combining principles in biology and nutritional science, rather than anecdotal evidence. Readers will gain insights into digestive processes and learn how to apply food combining strategies, such as experimenting with meal plans to observe individual responses. By understanding these principles, individuals can make informed dietary choices to improve their digestive well-being.
The Blender Girl
The debut cookbook from the powerhouse blogger behind theblendergirl.com, featuring 100 gluten-free, vegan recipes for smoothies, meals, and more made quickly and easily in a blender. What’s your perfect blend? On her wildly popular recipe blog, Tess Masters—aka, The Blender Girl—shares easy plant-based recipes that anyone can whip up fast in a blender. Tess’s lively, down-to-earth approach has attracted legions of fans looking for quick and fun ways to prepare healthy food. In The Blender Girl, Tess’s much-anticipated debut cookbook, she offers 100 whole-food recipes that are gluten-free and vegan, and rely on natural flavors and sweeteners. Many are also raw and nut-, soy-, corn-, and sugar-free. Smoothies, soups, and spreads are a given in a blender cookbook, but this surprisingly versatile collection also includes appetizers, salads, and main dishes with a blended component, like Fresh Spring Rolls with Orange-Almond Sauce, Twisted Caesar Pleaser, Spicy Chickpea Burgers with Portobello Buns and Greens, and I-Love-Veggies! Bake. And even though many of Tess’s smoothies and shakes taste like dessert—Apple Pie in a Glass, Raspberry-Lemon Cheesecake, or Tastes-Like-Ice- Cream Kale, anyone?—her actual desserts are out-of this-world good, from Chocolate-Chile Banana Spilly to Flourless Triple-Pecan Mousse Pie and Chai Rice Pudding. Best of all, every recipe can easily be adjusted to your personal taste: add an extra squeeze of this, another handful of that, or leave something out altogether— these dishes are super forgiving, so you can’t mess them up. Details on the benefits of soaking, sprouting, and dehydrating; proper food combining; and eating raw, probiotic-rich, and alkaline ingredients round out this nutrient-dense guide. But you don’t have to understand the science of good nutrition to run with The Blender Girl—all you need is a blender and a sense of adventure. So dust off your machine and get ready to find your perfect blend.
