VICTORIA'S NUTRITION TIPS

1. Love-powered eating:
• Means abundant, delicious, and aesthetically pleasing foods
• Promotes high-level health as well as normal weight
• Is economical and provides plenty for everybody
• Respects all life
• Is environmentally sustainable
2. There are no menus, amounts or absolutes here. Instead of rules to resist, you’ll find tools to use in getting new concepts off the drawing board and into practice.
3. A person who deepens his or her spiritual life often evolves toward a gentler, more natural diet. Conversely, people who improve their diets, particularly those who become vegetarian, are often led to explore their spiritual natures.
4. Any time we stuff ourselves, starve ourselves, or eat something we know to be harmful, we’re mistreating ourselves. When we do any of these things repeatedly, we establish a self-destructive and self-defeating pattern. When we want to stop and we can’t, we’re addicted.

VICTORIA'S RECIPES

Banana Milk

Makes 2 servings

1 banana
1/2 frozen banana
1/2-1 cup water
1 teaspoon sorghum (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)

Slice the bananas and place in a blender.  Add 1/2 cup water, sorghum, and vanilla.  Add additional water gradually to reach desired consistency (either thick or thin is good). Drink as is or pour over granola, other cereals or fruit. Variation: Add 1 teaspoon carob powder with the water, for chocolate banana milk.

Garbanzo Cheese

Makes about 1 pound

1 cup soaked garbanzos (from 1/2 cup dry)
1/2 cup Brazil nuts
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 small tomato
2 sticks celery
1 carrot
1/2 teaspoon onion flakes
1 fluid ounce lemon juice
3/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon kelp

Mix the Brazil nuts and water in the blender, then add the rest of the ingredients and blenderize well. Place the double broiler over boiling water. Cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 40 minutes. Pour into heat-proof bowl or pan that has been rinsed in cold water. Chill a few hours in the refrigerator. Unmold, slice and serve.

1 cup sunflower seeds, ground
1/2 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery

1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1/8 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon arrowroot flower
1 tablespoon oil

1/2 cup minced onion
2 small tomatoes, chopped fine
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil

Prick eggplant all over with a fork and bake in a 400 F oven about 45 minutes, until very soft and slightly imploded. Scrape out pulp and chop finely. Stir in remaining ingredients and chill before serving.  Spread on crackers or on thinly sliced dark rye bread.
