photoOkay, I’ve reached another obsession!

Recently I’ve been recreating comfort foods into recipes that are completely guilt free.

We’ve been trained to look at french fries as a junk food, which is in fact true when they’re drenched in hydrogenated & rancid oils that have been exposed to high heat. There’s a way that you can enjoy this comfort food completely guilt free!

You may be asking yourself, “Why are french fries okay to eat when you advocate raw foods?”

So, if you can incorporate anywhere from 50% – 80% of raw food with each meal, you’re already ahead of the game! These yummy oil free fries are a part of your meal that is not raw, obviously.

Consuming higher sugar fruits in the later part of the day tends to support the blood sugar much more efficiently than earlier in the day. So, if you’re looking to have these oats for breakfast, you can switch the banana for lower glycemic fruits like berries. If you plan on having this later in the afternoon around 3pm -7pm, then using the bananas shouldn’t be a disruption to your blood sugar.  Continue reading “HealthyHumanz: Superfood Oatmeal with Bee Pollen” →
