There is more than one way to enjoy the Hearts of Palm Salad by @veggiessavetheday 🤍. For instance, dinner last night was the salad over coodles (spiralized cucumber) topped with mixed micro greens, including one of my heart's delights, cantaloupe micro greens. Tasty, nourishing, and satiating.

An excellent source of protein, did you know that heart of palm has all nine essential amino acids? These nine essential amino acids, which are those our body cannot make, must come from the foods we eat.

What most people don't realize when they ask, "Where do you get your protein?", is that they are really asking, "Where do you get your amino acids?"

Thanks to @roar.skye I'm now forever a fan of homemade celery salt, both straight up or with a bit of Kosher (my preferred), Celtic sea salt, Himalayan salt, or any herb or spice mixed in.

🧂Store bought celery salt is high in sodium as it contains up to a whopping three times more salt than celery, not to mention the anti-caking chemicals and fillers found in commercial celery salts.

🧂And while the most popular homemade method is to grind celery seeds or celery leaves for a more potent, earthy flavor, dehydrating and grinding celery stalks or celery juice pulp is a great alternative.

🧂FUN FACT: Celery salt acts as a foundational base component in famous spice formulations such as Old Bay Seasoning. It is also a famous key component in the alleged KFC 11 Secret Herbs and Spices blend. In fact, most fast food fried chicken recipes now mimic KFC by including celery salt.

What is a mono meal? And what is a mono meal diet?

Think simplicity.

👉A mono meal simply refers to eating a single meal consisting of only one fruit or veggie food item or food group, such as a serving of your preferred melon/s, or bananas, grapes, apples, or other fruit, or even "naked" potatoes, broccoli, zucchini, sprouts, or other veggie.

The simplicity of a mono meal carries over in a few ways:

👉The practice "simplifies" the complex digestive process by allowing the body to focus on one food type/group at a time thus giving the gut a break.

👉Mono meals can eliminate/simplify "decision fatigue" making meal prep easy and effortless.

👉 Mono meals can assist with resetting food cravings.

👉Mono meals can help to reduce overeating by allowing the palette to focus on one flavor at a time. In essence, eating less "hyper-palatable" foods like those that are highly processed can help manage the urge to consume more food than the body actually needs.

Moving from a mono meal to a mono diet, otherwise referred to as a mono fast, single-food, or monotropic diet:

👉A mono diet simply means eating not just one meal but all meals consisting of the same selected food type or food group of fruit or veggie food item for a limited number of days.

👉A mono diet works as a short-term diagnostic tool to calm an inflamed gut by helping to isolate trigger foods that cause food intolerance or allergic reactions. For instance, if symptoms such as bloating or diarrhea disappear, you now know that particular baseline food can be safely tolerated and you can move on to the next mono eating item.

👉A mono diet offers the digestive system a longer period of time to rest from the burden of processing complex foods combinations.

👉A mono diet enables the body to redirect its energy toward detoxification, healing, and breaking food addictions.

If you should choose to embark on a mono diet, it is imperative to stay well hydrated and to understand that such a fast is intended to be short term. Like with any short-term diet, use respected sources to educate yourself on risk vs reward.

Slurped up this satisfyingly delicious raw, spicy, chunky tomato soup using a base of heirloom and grape tomatoes from the @trfarmersmarket

You can most definitely enjoy a warm meal while still keeping it raw and full of living enzymes. Food is considered raw/living if it is uncooked or prepared at temperatures below or up to 115°.

To have a warm, raw food meal while maintaining the integrity and full benefits of the living enzymes there are two appliances that come in handy, a dehydrator and/or the "hot soup" setting on a blender. Option three, for a minimally warm effect, simply place room temperature food on a pre-warmed plate or in a pre-warmed bowl. (The latter is how I brought my chopped tomato topping that had been in the fridge back to a neutral temp.)

To enjoy warmth from the inside out while eating raw:
😌drink herbal teas
😌use a blender's "hot soup" setting to warm homemade plant based milk/hot chocolate, dressings, sauces, etc.
😌add warming spices to recipes such as ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, star anise, or any of the ground peppers (paprika, cayenne, chipotle, and so on)
😌infuse room temperature water with warming spices like fresh ginger or a cinnamon stick with some orange slices
