I have developed a few tricks out of necessity so that I am more likely to incorporate juicing into my day. There is however some nutritional compromises that will be met so if you a juicing to support an anti-cancer diet and/or need to squeeze every last nutrient out of the juice the ideal juicing scenario is:
Pictured above from left to right: Lemon Chia Pudding, Chocolate Chia Pudding and Vanilla Chia Pudding. This adapted recipe, and its variations, is from the book Living Candida Free. It is raw and contains no sugar so it is a great dessert when you are craving something sweet but need to avoid sugar.
I make each pudding in a mason jar and store in the fridge so they are ready to go. Also, the longer they sit in the fridge, the firmer they become. Each jar contains 2 servings. Basic Vanilla Chia Pudding
Variations: Lemon Chia Pudding: Add the zest of ½ an organic lemon to the pudding with the other ingredients. Increase stevia to 15-20 drops or to taste. Chocolate Chia Pudding: Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) raw cacao powder with the other ingredients. Increase stevia to 20 drops or to taste.

I have made this recipe gluten free but you can use any flour you want. I chose millet and barley as I had a lot on hand.

Meatballs (makes 24 balls)
Directions
First introduced at A & W, these patties have rocked my world. They have the taste and texture of ground beef and with 20 grams of protein, there is no need to sacrifice taste for good health. You can now find these patties either in the meat section or in the frozen food section of your local grocery stores. I have bought them from 49th Parallel, Thrifty's, Country Grocer and QF. They aren't cheap but good quality usually isn't. At most stores the price is $7.99 but QF sells them for $6.99. Even my meat-eating husband loves them. This is the easiest way to give a plant-based meal a try and just in time for barbecue season.
