Most people in Belize eat meat, the usual dish is rice and beans (made with white rice), stew chicken or some other meat and a piece of fried plantain. This is an everyday thing. Not very nutritious...most people do not eat a salad with their meals and definitely not something raw. Of course some people are beginning to see that what you eat and how it is prepared affects health.
On Tuesdays, I am a vegan vegetarian chef for customers who want to begin the journey to a more nutritious way of eating. I prepare the food with herbs and spices including turmeric, ginger, curry powder, oregano, etc. I also use low sodium. I use Himalayan sea salt and it is not cooked into the food, it is added at the end when the food is still hot. What I find is that cooking the salt decreases the mineral content and intensify the saltiness. Sea Salt is a seasoning containing minerals that are micro nutrient meaning you need a little at a time. It should not be cooked into food. However this is my guided experience and you should do as you feel guided to do.
I am Spirit guided...it is always a meditation...to create the menu for the day and then to do the preparation. I introduce my customers to vegetables they are not use to eating such as eggplant, watercress, zucchini, patty pan squash, etc. I create exotic combinations that are most tasty.

Wednesday, November 14, 2012 - Smoothie of the Day
1/2 a beet
handful of watercress
handful of lettuce
4 frozen bananas or chilled (use 1 if you are diabetic)
2 inch piece of ginger
1 teaspoon of flax seed
Add water...blend and enjoy! All nutrient are intact.
Again I use my I Am Presence Guidance...that is the God/Spirit within Guidance...use this guidance for everything you do! Life will become miraculous!
I this time of the Shift of Consciousness...it is the time to go within for your Real Guidance. Our Divine Creator has made you unique...you have an Inner Guidance System some call it Intuition...it is there to become your only guidance so that you cannot be fooled by anyone. All you must do is to develop Trust in God and yourself and you will make a difference in your life.
No matter I or other say or write, you must feel a resonance with it. You refer to your God/Spirit Presence we call it our I Am Presence..it is within. Meditate...and become closer to your God Self.
You will find in within yourself.
I think this is enough for today... Blessings of understanding and trust to you! Thank you for being in the world during this momentousness time. The Great Shift of the Ages!
That food looks so great, and to know its benefits are countless!
