Favorite Items on Grocery List
Here are some healthy alternatives found at your local health food store:

  • STEVIA, by Sweet leaf: It is 100 times sweeter than sugar, and has 0 calories, nothing artificial and has many nutrients. It can be used in place or sugar, honey, or equal.
  • CAFFEX or CAFÉ ROMA: Used in place of coffee. 100% caffeine –free and when made with milk or soy milk makes an amazing café au lait.
  • GROUND FLAX MEAL: Sprinkle on everything, including cereal, salads and in smoothies. It’s water-soluble and a great source of fiber and omega vitamins. It also helps with regular bowel movements.
  • EZEKIEL BREAD: Cinnaman-raison or regular in ORANGE packaging. It is live sprouted and a good source of complete protein. It is beneficial for all, even those on a wheat-free diet. It can be found in the frozen food section of your health food store and many large grocery store chains. Both kinds taste best when toasted. For an out of this world treat, toast a piece of the cinnamon-raison with a little ghee (CLARIFIED BUTTER) and natural jam.
  • SILKEN SOY YOGURT: Instead of dairy, try it you’ll be surprised how good it is. Mix with ground flax meal and fruit for a delicious snack.
  • ALMOND BUTTER: A much better choice than peanut butter for many with allergies. It tastes just as good, and is healthier for you. Try some almond butter on a rice cake with natural jam for a heavenly treat. Or almond butter with mashed banana or a piece of toasted Ezekiel.
  • BRAGGS LIQUID AMINOS ACIDS: Used in place of soy sauce, but has low sodium, wheat-free and has a ton of vitamins and minerals. It adds a wonderful flavor to veggies, baked potato, chicken, popcorn…and just about everything!!
  • SILKEN SOY CREAMER: Better than half and half, with no dairy and less fat. Try the vanilla or hazelnut flavor. Tastes great in coffee.
  • ALMOND OR RICE MILK: It’s not good to over do it with too many soy products. Try almond or rice milk as a delicious alternative.
  • YOGI TEA CLASSIC INDIAN SPICE TEA: For CHAI lovers but with no caffeine and organic spices. Add rice, soy or cow’s milk and sweeten to taste with stevia.

Favorite Snack

Sonya’s Famous San Francisco-Style Popcorn
This is much healthier than movie popcorn or buttery microwave types. Take along with you to the next movie, and feel NO GUILT.

Take air popped corn, no oil preferably and put into a paper bag,

Add generous amounts of liquid amino acids. If you get the kind in the spray bottle it is easier to spread evenly. (Braggs liquid amino acids, found at any healthy food store).

Add a dash of dried garlic powder, cayenne pepper (to taste), Mrs. Dash, brewer’s yeast and sea salt. Shake vigorously, and ENJOY!!!!
