Holistic Chef Eddie's Tip of the Day #105

Good Day fellow humans. We are all one, all the same, no difference except for the lifestyle we CHOOSE to live.  We all have the same physical makeup no matter if we are black, white, red, yellow, light brown, dark brown, doctor, lawyer, custodian, homeless, Muslim, Jew, Christian, etc.  I think that many of us realize that as a fact even more due to a virus that is going around.  It has no prejudice.  We are all in this together.  However, we are very powerful indeed because we have the power of CHOICE.  This time that has befallen the planet could be viewed as a wakeup call.  How are you living your life?  How are you treating your body?  Is your immune system strong?  What do you do daily to strengthen your resistance to illness?  There is no blame!!  No one country is to blame.  Illnesses that can be deadly have been around for centuries.  Many people have expected a magic pill to cure illness.  They continue making poor choices and lean on the medical community to heal them.  Well this time the medical community is stumped, big time.  So that finger that is pointing away from you turns around and is not pointing back at you.  It's your opportunity to take responsibility for your body.   Since we have the time during self quarantine to sort this out, we can fight back.  Here is a list of superfoods that are nutritionally dense, high in anti oxidants and anti bacterial.  I have included a delicious bowl that I call THE IMMUNE BOOSTER.  Delicious, soothing, powerful.  To your continued health and happiness!!

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Pour boiling water into one cup with an Echinacea Tea Bag.  Let it cool completely.  

In a blender or food processor add the Bananas, Turmeric, Ginger, Lemon Zest, the cooled Echinachea Tea and the Vanilla.  If it is not sweet enough you can add the sweetener of your choice EXCEPT sugar.  You can use stevia, monkfruit, honey or maple syrup to taste.  The bananas will usually make this sweet enough.

Pour into a bowl.  It will be nice and thick.  Top with Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Berries and/or Granola.  Delish!!!!
