Kale made Easy
Posted: Feb 15, 2012 • By: Dr Aaron Tressler •

Kale has to one of the most nutrient rich greens. But, without proper preparation, they are difficult to eat. This is one way to have a delicious side dish with healing power.
-
Put handful of washed Kale in skillet of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Garlic.
-
Sautee slow and let Kale soften up while absorbing the Garlic flavor.
-
May need to add a little water to soften up the Kale without it burning.
-
Once the Kale is soft and cooked, section them in small balls (around the size of a lemon).
-
Push a whole in the middle and fill with favorite cheese. I prefer Organic Goat cheese. Can also use; Feta, Mozzarella, or Blue cheese.
-
Some Real Salt sprinkled on top and other spices to your taste.
Enjoy! Great to add for a side dish with chicken, beef, or Lamb (my favorite). You can substitute Fresh Spinach in place of the Kale.
God Bless and enjoy this easy and healthy meal. Dr. T

Almond Flour & Flax Meal Pizza Dough
Posted: Feb 13, 2012 • By: Dr Aaron Tressler •
Finally! A pizza dough that you can prepare, eat, and savour without feeling guilty or bloated, or both! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 ¼ cups Almond Flour
¼ cup ground flax meal
¼ to ½ tsp. kosher or sea salt
¼ tsp. aluminum free baking soda
1 egg, beaten with a whisk
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. seasoning of choice – Italian seasoning; roasted garlic powder (optional)
Preparation:
Mix all ingredients together until they form a ball. Roll the “dough” into a ¼ inch pizza crust on a sheet pan with a silpat liner or piece of parchment paper.
(To make this easier, top the dough with another piece of parchment paper when you roll it out; then peel off the parchment paper when you have it the way you want it.)
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove from oven.
Top with your favorite healthy ingredients!
Return the pizza to the oven for another 10-15 minutes (this is a slow, lower heat pizza).

I love this meal for breakfast. My favorite. Great source of protein, calms the tongue {cuts cravings of sweets down}, sustains energy for hours, and low in calories.
Spicy Egg Supreme
-
1 Organic Egg with 3 Organic Egg Whites
-
1 cup of fresh spinach
-
Add 1/4 tsp of Real Salt (can be found in health store - is loaded with minerals)
-
Sprinkle in some Red Hot Pepper (to you taste - I like it hot)
-
Splash in some Tobasco or Hot Sauce
Cook on low. NO Cheese and NO Milk. Low calorie and tastes great.
Enjoy! Dr. T
Healthy Pancakes
Posted: Jan 25, 2012 • By: Dr Aaron Tressler •
I love Pancakes, but must limit them.
Great Recipe:
-
Whole grain or Buckwheat pancake mix.
-
Add an extra Organic egg or two for protein or a scoop of our NanoPro Protein powder.
-
Use water or Raw milk. Water has less calories.
-
Add fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries while cooking.
-
And ALWAYS Pure Maple Syrup. The other junk is all corn syrup and sugar.
The berries make them very moist and this cuts back on the amount of syrup you need. This was our breakfast before school today. So, it can be done quick and healthy.
Have fun. Dr. T

Easy Egg Salad
Posted: Jan 17, 2012 • By: Dr Aaron Tressler •
You may laugh at the simplicity of this post, but this is the summer-y salad that I often forget about. It’s SO simple and most of you probably have your own egg salad recipe. But, for those of you who don’t, here is the easiest sandwich you could possibly whip up this summer. As always, there are many variations, including deviled-egg salad. I’ll post a few options below. Maybe you can try it a new way! Enjoy it on greens as a cool salad or on a piece of toasted Ezekiel (or any gluten & wheat free) bread.
What you’ll need:
(makes 2-3 sandwiches)
OPTIONAL:
1 TBS celery, finely chopped
1 TBS sweet relish
1 tsp paprika
dash of stevia
How it’s done:
-
Mash hard-boiled eggs in a bowl.
-
Add all ingredients and stir together.
Eggs are a great source of protein and omega-3. With Diabetes, Obesity, Heart disease, and all other chronic health conditions skyrocketing, we need to do all we can to Prevent and Reverse this. Have a wonderful, egg-delicious Day! Dr. T

Quick Power Drink Smoothie
Posted: Jan 1, 2012 • By: Dr Aaron Tressler •
This is a quick power drink that will keep you going for hours, help you lose weight, and will make you feel refreshed.
I just made this for my lunch and it is very healthy and pretty darn tasty too. For a Healthy green shake that is.
In Blender:
2 cups fresh broccoli
1 cup cold water (or as much as necessary)
1 cup frozen pineapple, blueberries or mango
1 banana
1-2 scoops protein powder
Flavored stevia for sweetness
It makes quite a big drink. It may take time to drink or split it up and drink the other half in a couple hours for your afternoon boost.
It may not taste like Ben and Jerry's but it is pretty good. Most green shakes are too expensive, taste very bad, or if they do taste good -- they usually aren't very healthy.
Try it and add whatever tasty ingredients you like. Raw almonds, flax seeds, NanOmega powder, or a green apple.
Enjoy! Dr. T
