The dairy aisle used to be so simple—whole milk, low fat milk, non-fat milk, half and half, cream and maybe goat’s milk if it was a health food store. With the growing number of people with lactose intolerance, or those following a vegan diet, the consumption of plant-based ‘milks’ has been expanding by about 11 percent each year since 1999. Consumption of cow’s milk has declined by 25 percent since 1975, according to Cooking Light Magazine. Cow’s milk was for decades considered an almost perfect food with 8g protein, 460 mg potassium (13% of the RDA), 35% of the RDA […]

Strawberries are loaded with antioxidants, which help defend cell structures in the body and protect the body’s organs. Strawberries are second only to plums as the richest fruit in phenols and antioxidants, and are especially high in cancer- and heart disease-fighting flavonoids, quercetin, catechin, and kaempferol. Strawberries can offer enhanced protection against crippling inflammation-related diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Strawberries have shown an ability to inhibit tumor growth and to slow the progress of tumors as they begin to develop, according to a study using rats with esophageal cancer. In a study done by the Institute of Biochemistry in Ancona, Italy, researchers found that when […]
This savory spinach pancake has Japanese influences but is often served in Hawaii. When you sprinkle on the thin bonito flakes just before serving, watch them dance around from the residual heat of the pancake. It’s dairy free, too.

Ingredients: 5 large eggs 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce 1 tsp. water ½ cup whole-wheat flour 1 cup finely chopped or shredded fresh spinach (remove large stems before […]

Let rice soak for 2–3 days until rice “blooms,” changing the water 1–2 times a […]
