Asian Spa Detox Breakfast
Takes only 5 minutes to make ! Not including the time for sprouting the living foods and possibly opening the coconut ! A Garden Villa Phuket Presentation.
Written by Barry Gourmet & Raw © Copyright Dec.24 2011
Introduction:
A breakfast that is simple and easy to make in the morning that contains all of Natures fresh ingredients is what you will find in this Alkalizing food preparation of the Asian Spa Detox .
This incredibly nutritious and living food meal will support your body for Cleansing ,for losing weight and even maintaining your present weight. Your digestion will be helped. This almost 100% Vegan breakfast has all the good fats, fiber, complex carbohydrates, organic minerals and vitamins ,with all the amino acid proteins , and is non Gluten.
A simple breakdown of the foods and health benefits to you in my layperson terms.
Coconut water is excellent for body hydration with electrolytes.
Coconut meat is at the top of the list for dietary fiber,with medium chain saturated fatty acids that are not the same as the saturated long chain fats that come from animal. In fact coconut meat will help you to lose weight and the meat will help restore your friendly bacterial flora that resides in your intestinal tract and stomach.
As we age our body does not make the hormones and does not manufacture hydrochloric acid in the stomach as efficiently as a younger person does so adding some cold pressed apple cider vinegar to a meal or beverage will help hydrochloric acid production that helps to break down the foods into more bioavailable proteins for better assimilation.
All sprouted seeds become less starchy and with much more nutritious life giving enzymes and much higher amino acids and minerals especially magnesium and calcium that can be more utilized by your body.
Pineapple is excellent for weight lose, cleansing ,and detoxing having mostly down the center core of the stem proteolytic enzymes (bromelain) that help your digestive organs in breaking down the proteins in foods.Pineapple is also anti inflammatory for sports medicine.
All the green leafy vegetables rich in chlorophyl the blood of plants will deliver a wealth of minerals and vitamins to to your body and they are natural detox cleansers. The fiber supports liver function.
The Mandarine orange is of course very high in Vitamin C and the skin is a flavanoid that is immune enhancing.
Lemon and Lime juice is Acid out side of our bodies but very alkaline inside our body and very cleansing . This applies to the apple cider vinegar as well.
Cashew nuts are extremely high in the mineral magnesium and studies have shown that they can calm the nerves and mind demonstrated in the “Food Matters” Video.
Bee Pollen is a potent all around super food source of enzymes , trace minerals, and vitamins that are deficient in many other foods. I consider Bee Pollen as Natures whole food Vitamin and Mineral supplement.
The probiotic sachet of powder is a prebiotic which means that it provides food directly to your friendly flora bacteria that weighs about 6 to 7 pounds in a healthy persons gut and probiotic which supports the colonization of your intestinal friendly bacteria .
This detox cleansing breakfast will not abruptly break the 7 to 8 hour fast that we call sleeping.
Ingredients:
The Vegan Chutney Dressing:
One whole coconut
one inch thick fresh pineapple slice skin removed.
One cup of your mixed favorite fresh green herbs? ( I like to use sweet basil,mint, & chicory)
One mandarine orange ( with out seeds but add ¼ of the skin must be organic Lemon works as well)
Set aside your raw apple cider vinegar cold pressed, raw unfiltered honey, and fresh lemons and limes to make squeezed,, lemon or lime juice some tamarind juice.( These ingredients will be used for final taste)
For your Sprinkled Topping:
On the side some whole raw or baked cashew nuts (unsalted )
Bee Pollen
A probiotic sachet 3 grams Dairy or Vegan . Contains Yogurt Powder & a prebiotic
Fructooligosaccharide (I use a product named lactomin Plus) The only probiotic I can find in Thailand.
Some dry garlic granules or flakes. ( Never use fried Garlic it is rancid and damaging to cells)
For your main ingredients:
Enough fresh garden wild green herbs to fill a pie plate. At the Garden Villa Phuket Spa and Wellness Retreat we are blessed with wild crafted Herbs and yes edible weeds and exotic edible tropical flowers that traditional elders use for their classic Thai food presentations. But for this breakfast the flowers are left out. We used Chicory, Dandelion leaf, Tiger leaf, Thai olive leaf,and sweet basil all evenly harvested and mixed together.
If you buy your fresh herbs in the market then a good choice would be your favorite mixed leafy greens that will do just as well.
For the Living Sprouted Foods that took only 2 to 3 days to make by nature but only a couple of minutes to make by me.
I used sprouted black sesame seed and sprouted alfalfa.
You can buy your own alfalfa sprouts in most supermarkets but I always find that its saving you money and its a fresher product to just sprout seeds from scratch for more choices of living foods.
The Basic Technique before bedtime that I use for sprouting sesame and alfalfa seed is as follows.
I usually place enough seed that will last me for 3 to 4 days half a cup each sounds good.
Put the seeds in 2 separate bowls then fill with enough pure filtered water about one inch above the seed level. The seeds over night will absorb all this water and will expand looking much bigger than before.The seeds are very small I know but if you had a magnifier glass you would notice this wonderful phenomenon.
In the morning check up on your seeds . Most or all of the water has been absorbed into each seed . Next step is to give the bowl of seeds repeat rinsing by pouring fresh water into the bowl then pouring all into a trainer with a pail underneath to catch the discarded seed water. Keep doing this until the water becomes super clear and then you can place the strained seeds on a dish to collect the water that drains through the seed bed. The discarded leftover seed water is excellent nourishment for your potted plants and herbs.
An enzyme inhibiter is a clear protective protein coating every seed and nut for its own individual protection until the right conditions will allow it to sprout or come to life from dormancy. These conditions would be water, darkness, air and the correct temperature for that particular seed or nut.
Tip: Less is more when it comes to sprouting living foods. The less water used and more air with darkness in the first and second day brings fantastic results. Over watering will prolong the process and you may lose some of your product to spoilage. The trick is to add less water for each passing day for best results.
The seeds at the top of the bunch bowl shaped straining basket will always be more dry than the seeds underneath especially at the bottom so it is always a good idea to take a spoon or fork and turn them over for even drying 2 times per day. Then return the baskets to a dark place like a cupboard , or bathroom ,any dark space under the sink can use your imagination here.
Why keep the seeds in darkness? Because I know this sounds weird , they think they are planted in the ground already so they are growing to find the light or the sun.
Just cover the strainer basket with a light towel and in the 2nd or 3rd day you will see something amazing. Just bring them outside to soak up the suns indirect rays on a table or shelf with an empty straining basket serving as a protective lid on top to keep the birds and other creatures in your garden from eating your new fresh sprouts.
I have had sprouts lasting for days and even a couple of weeks with care. I will cover this in another article. I have been sprouting for decades with different methods but generally it is really easy to do with practice.
How to make tamarind juice? Its easy just by the whole tamarind paste sold in most Asian Food stores and but some in your blender with some water and blend to the consistency you like. A fantastic taste enhancer that is savory sweet and tangy for many of my Asian Recipes.
Method for making Barry Gourmets Asian Detox Breakfast Vegan Chutney Dressing:
The whole Coconut: I like to get the hard part out of the way first and I have been cutting open coconuts everyday for years now so it just takes a little practice.
Mine are picked fresh straight off the tree and take more time to open up ,but yours will most likely will be purchased in the store . The store will sell these coconuts with the tops already cut on 45 degree angles making the largest seed in the world looking like snow capped mountain tops. Just take out your coconut cleaver,( They have rectangle blades and a large enough handle for a good hand grip and the knife has a good weight to it) Just cut down into box shape pattern then lift open the top.
Pour the sweet juice into your glass blender. Then cut down several times down the middle section of the nut and split the coconut in to halves. With a sharp spoon scoop out all the meat into your blender.
Tip for the Environment: Do not trash the 2 half coconut shells. Instead cut them in smaller pieces and use them as excellent drainage beds at the bottom layer of planted pots of house plants indoors or out doors. “That can be done at another time because you may use up your 5 minutes of preparing your Asian Spa Detox breakfast meal when doing this”
"Live Earth Day every day"
Add to your blender your chopped pineapple chunks, your green herbs finely chopped,your Mandarin Orange in small pieces with a little bit of the skin and or some lemon skin peal is nice.
With the lid on securely blend slow to faster and add more water if needed to create your smooth consistency.
Pour the liquid paste into your bowl and taste with your eyes closed. This is when you decide if its just right for you or it needs some fixing up?
You have an arsenal of fantastic natural flavor enhancers at your disposal for making these crucial adjustments.
To sweeten add your raw unfiltered honey.
To add bite or sharpness add your apple cider vinegar.
To make more sour add some lemon or lime juice.
Sometimes a little sprinkle of ground cinnamon is all it takes to bring out that special flavor.
I do not believe in paint by number recipes of adding this and adding that to the exact letter because all foods are flavored differently.It depends on their origin, method of agriculture,and even every persons taste buds are different. For example if you where going to the store to buy lets say mangos. Well the yellow ones would be sweet to taste and the green ones would be sour to taste and the yellow green ones of course would be some where in between but they are still mangos. Even in many of the high end restaurants and 5 star hotel and resort back kitchens the head chef will often taste the food served first and make necessary adjustments before serving to their guests.
Method for the pie plate of salad leafy greens:
Spread your pre cut leafy greens evenly across then circle the perimeter with a thin layer of sprouted black sesame seeds.
Spoon your chutney layered in the center and add your island of alfalfa sprouts on top in the middle.
Then place your whole cashew nuts into the chutney.
Sprinkle your sachet of probiotic powder over the chutney in a circle pattern.
Sprinkle your bee pollen over top.
Garnish with 2 lime wedges and 2 of your favorite fresh green leafy whole herbs.
In the photo I used chicory and a Thai olive leaf.
For all the garlic lovers out there just spoon what you like into your mill grinding machine unit that hopefully comes with your blender purchase?
Mill to a fine powder for findger sprinkling over your food.
Garlic supports your immunity and is a potent detoxifyer.
Method for the Detoxing Beverage: Add some pure water to your cup .
Add a dash of Apple Cider Vinegar.
Some raw unfiltered honey.
Some lime or lemon juice.
Stir and taste with adjustments
Enjoy your Asian Spa Detox Breakfast.

Diabetes Recipe: Tortilla-Lime Chicken Soup
Liberty Medical posted a photo:
Both spicy and tangy! This soup is a wonderful way to begin a meal, as well as satisfying enough for the main attraction. To make a vegetarian variation, use vegetable broth instead of the chicken broth and eliminate the cooked chicken breast.

Diabetes Recipe: Homemade Chicken Stock
Liberty Medical posted a photo:
After roasting the chicken on Sunday, make a flavorful homemade stock from the carcass. Or if you want to make the stock and haven't made Spiced Citrus Roasted Chicken, use the carcass from any roasted 3 1/3- to 4-pound chicken. Use the stock in place of canned canned chicken broth or bouillon in recipes, or use it to make the Cream of Chicken Soup.
