12 Steps to Whole Foods

Starting Your Morning Off Right
2. Each morning, at least half an hour before eating or drinking anything else, add 1 tsp. of the sole
solution to a glass of water and drink it. Your body will receive the energetic vibration pattern for 24
hours.
Breakfast
What your mother always told you is true: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Another truism is
the saying to eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen, and dinner like a pauper. (Letting your body rest at
night from digestion is critically important for the health of your digestive tract, which needs a break just like
your muscles and brain and eyes obviously do.)
And the more live or raw foods you can eat for breakfast, the higher and more sustained your energy will be
throughout the day. Half an hour or so after drinking sole (salt water), have a bowl of granola with a scoop of
sprouted seeds added—a highly nutritious breakfast for athletes, men with higher caloric needs, and anyone
suffering from constipation. If you choose to eat cold cereal, choose whole-grain options such as Shredded
Wheat, Grape Nuts, or Kashi.
Another hot meal that is filling, satisfying, and very alkaline is hot millet porridge with a bit of maple syrup
and coconut oil or butter. Add a big spoonful of soaked (sprouted) alfalfa seeds for live enzymes and high
nutrition. (See the recipe for * You can also use coconut milk instead of coconut cream concentrate, for a
thinner glaze. I like to use the rest of the can of coconut milk the next morning, with any leftover orange juice
and agave mixed in, poured on millet porridge (recipe below). on page 108.)
If you don’t have time to sit down and eat, have a Hot Pink Breakfast Smoothie (page 285), a delicious all-raw
breakfast that you can take in the car, in a quart jar with a straw, to drink on the way to work or school.
Another of my favorite breakfasts is Breakfast Pudding (page 296), which has live, sprouted nutrition but is
also filling, slightly sweet, and delicious.
For weekends and holidays, you can replace your processed breakfast food with more nutritious, whole-grain
alternatives. We especially love Pumpkin-Oatmeal Waffles (page 292) topped with applesauce and a little
maple syrup. And we make Sprouted-Buckwheat Blueberry Pancakes (Gluten Free) (page 290) with Berry
Sauce (page 313) a few times a month.
What Is the 1, 2, 3 Rating System in the Recipes?
The recipes in this chapter are rated 1, 2, or 3.
Recipes rated 1 are whole grain (and naturally sweetened, where applicable) and are a great transition for
anyone coming from a diet high in refined foods. They are much more nutritious than anything using refined
flours or sugars.
Recipes rated 2 are even more nutritious, because they are made with the highly alkaline grain millet or the
high-protein grain quinoa, or they have lots of raw vegetable ingredients—or they use soaked, sprouted, or
