Sauces & condiments can take your meals to another level

Unfortunately most things you find in the supermarkets are loaded with seed oils, high fructose corn syrup, thickeners and who knows what else

Here are 11 of my favorite CLEAN sauces/condiments to spice up your meals:Image

Garlic & chili aioli

Ingredients:

-1/2 tsp smoked paprika
-Salt
-1 cup avocado oil mayo (chosen foods is a great brand)
-1-2 tbsp sherry vinegar
-1 tsp tomato paste

-pinch of ground cayenne

Combine garlic, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle or food processor. Mix until smooth.

Then add mayo, vinegar, tomato paste, chipotle powder, cayenne and mix until combined. Cover and refrigerate.

This is AMAZING with potatoes but would also be great to dip a grass fed burger, or literally anything else.Image
Easy stir fry sauce:

1/4 cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
2 tsp fish sauce
Grated garlic & ginger
2 tbsp sriracha (or to taste)
2-4 tbsp honey (to taste)

Pico de gallo

Ingredients:
-6 roma tomatoes
-1 small red or white onions
-3 jalapenos
-1 clove of garlic
-Cilantro to taste
-Juice of 2 limes
-Salt

Simply dice everything until its the size you desire and stir to combine! Adjust salt as necessary.

This is a delicious fresh topping for eggs, tacos, or with some Siete chips.Image
Easy chimichurri

Ingredients:
-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
-2 tbsp white wine vinegar
-About 3/4 cup fresh parsley
-4 Garlic cloves
-2 tsp dried oregano
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/2 tsp crushed red pepper

Finely dice everything and add to a mason jar. Shake well until combined well. You can also use a food processor but be careful not to over process it.

This is a perfect topping for a juicy steak or seafood! I also love marinating some shrimp in this and throwing it on the grill. Super flavorful & fresh.Image
Honey Sriracha

Simply mix equal parts raw honey and sriracha, with a splash of vinegar.

This is incredible with chicken, I decided to toss some pasture raised chicken wings in itImage
Fire Roasted Salsa

Ingredients:

-About 1 pint of tomatoes
-1 yellow onion
-8 garlic cloves
-3 jalapenos
-1/3 cup cilantro
-Juice of 1 lime
-1/4 tsp ground cumin
-Pinch of cayenne
-Pinch of oregano
-Salt & pepper
-Olive oil

On a baking sheet, spread tomatoes, garlic, onion and jalepenos, and toss in the a bit of oil. Keep the garlic unpeeled.

Broil on high until there is some nice char on the outsides of everything and the tomatoes are blistered, then flip to get the other side.

When charred, remove the garlic skins and add everything to a blender, along with all the cilantro, lime, spices, salt and pepper. Blend until it is your desired texture. Add salt to taste.

This will taste even better after being refrigerated for a few hours.Image
Simple honey mustard

Ingredients:

1/3 cup organic stone ground mustard
1/4 cup raw honey
2TBSP apple cider vinegar
1TBSP extra virgin olive oil
1tsp salt
1tsp pepper
1tsp paprika
1tsp garlic powder (or fresh garlic)

This is my favorite chicken marinade, but would also be great just to dip in!Image
Special burger sauce (inspired by In n Out)

1/2 cup avocado mayo
3 tablespoons ketchup

.5-1 tsp sugar

Adjust the vinegar & sugar to your preference.Image
Classic guacamole!

Ingredients:
4-6 ripe avocados
1/3 cup white onions
2 tbsp serrano or jalapeno pepper
1/4-1/2 cup cilantro (to taste)
Lime juice
Salt

In a mortar and pestle, add your onion, pepper, half of your cilantro and a big pinch of coarse salt. Mash this to extract the flavor, until it is the consistency of your liking. (If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, simply chop and smush it together to release flavor)

Add this to your avocados, with the juice of 1 lime (or more to taste), the rest of your cilantro, and more salt to taste.Image

THE TRUTH ABOUT CHOLESTEROL

& how we’ve been lied to about to causes of heart disease

(Thread)Image
“High cholesterol causes heart disease”

How many times have you heard this? Probably a lot.

But what if I told you that cholesterol is actually necessary for good health?

And that everything you’ve been told about cholesterol is a lie?

Let’s get into it
Without cholesterol, we die. It’s that simple.

It is needed to synthesize hormones like cortisol, testosterone, progesterone, estrogen and even vitamin D.

It strengthens your cell membranes, helps break down your food, and so much more.

10 STEPS TO HEALTH-PROOF YOUR KITCHEN

(Thread)Image
1. Swap any nonstick or teflon pans with ceramic, stainless steel or cast iron.

Nonstick pans get their slippery texture from PFAs and PFCs which are toxic. When heated, chemicals are released into the air and food, including PFOA which is linked to thyroid disease, cancer, & more.

Ceramic is best for low to medium heat, and stainless steel/cast iron are best for higher heats.
2. Use unbleached parchment paper instead of aluminum foil.

Aluminum can leech into your food when heated (especially acidic food). It is a neurotoxin and has no known use in the human body.

Pho is one of my all time favorite things to cook

Making a delicious, gelatinous bone broth is one of the healthiest things you can possibly make! Besides that, the convenience is unmatched.
Yes, it takes some time to make the broth. But once it’s done, you can whip up a delicious, healthy meal in minutes. You can cook some shrimp (2-3 minutes), slice some raw steak very thin, cook some rice noodles and boom you have a nourishing meal.

“All natural”
“Organic”
“Natural flavors”
“Free range”
“Grass fed”

What do these actually mean? And what should you really look for?

(Thread)Image
The center aisles of any grocery stores are loaded with products that clamor about their seemingly beneficial qualities.

The truth is, most people do WANT to eat healthy, they just aren’t informed enough to see through the deceptive food marketing.
In this thread, I’ll go through what each title actually means, and how to determine what is worth buying:

ACID REFLUX is one of the most common symptoms of gut dysfunction

Instead of identifying the root cause, doctors will just prescribe something to mask symptoms making issues worse in the long run

Here is everything you need to know about reflux, its causes & how to fix it:Image
First of all, what is acid reflux?

Acid reflux is when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, or a feeling of a lump in the throat.

-Root causes
-What to test for
-Why medications make the issues worse
-What you can do about it
