  3. Ginger & Coriander Sauce: Blend everything together. Set aside.
  4. Thai Crystal Sauce: Blend everything together except the Chilli Flakes - add them last. Set aside.
  5. Sweet Chilli Sauce: Blend everything together except the Chilli Flakes - add them last. Set aside.
Recipe Notes

* I make big batches of the sauces. They keep well for weeks in a sealed jar in the fridge. Basically you can use any veggies, and easily and quickly whip up rice paper rolls and serve with either or  both of the dipping sauces.

*Soy Sauce alternatives - soy is best avoided for many reasons. Most soy is GMO. Even organic soy can cause issues. Also, many soy products have wheat/gluten which adds to the list of reasons to avoid it if you can. 1st best choice is Coconut Aminos if you can get it. 2nd best choice would be Liquid Aminos or Tamari which are wheat-free/gluten-free soy sauces.

*Sesame Seed Oil - buy good quality oil and store in the fridge. It is a fragile oil and can rancid quite quickly. For this reason it is best never to cook with fragile oils like Sesame Seed Oil as the heat quickly produces free-radicals and reduces the benefits of the oil. Use it as a topping just before serving to give a lovely subtle Sesame flavour to your stir-fry.

Instructions
  1. Grate Ginger and finely chop Garlic and Chillies and then combine with the Coconut Aminos / Tamari (Soy Sauce alternative), Vinegar, and Rice Malt Syrup. Blend until smooth. Pour into a sealable glass jar and set aside.
  2. Mix the Veggie Stock and Potato Starch together and set aside.
  3. Chop the Cashew Nuts, then slightly dry toast half of the Sesame Seeds & Cashew Nuts in a pan. Allow to cool before adding back in with the un-toasted nuts. Set aside.
  4. Chop the Spring Onions and Red Onion and add half the Sesame Seeds & Cashew Nuts mix in a pan, and cook together for 2-3 minutes with a little Grapeseed Oil until onions are slightly browned. Set aside.
  5. Chop the remainder of the stir-fry veggies of your choice and combine/mix up together in a large mixing bowl.
  6. Stir-fry Sauce portion per person - mix 2 tbsp of the Stir-Fry sauce together with 1 tbsp of Veggie Stock (with Potato Flour/Starch).
  7. Cooking - If you don’t have a large wok, for best results, I prefer to cook each person’s dish separately in a stainless steel pan to cook veg quick while still keeping them crispy.
Add a little oil to the wok/pan on high heat and wait until it heats up (1-2 min). Then quickly add Stir-fry Veg, cooked Onion and Stir-fry Sauce, stirring/flipping in the pan often. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat before veg starts to get soft.
  8. Serve and drizzle with Sesame Seed Oil and top with the remaining Seed & Nut mix. Top with your choice of toppings.
Recipe Notes

* I make big batches of the Stir-fry sauce at a time. It keeps well for weeks in a sealed jar in the fridge. Basically you can use any veggies, and cook with the sauce to quickly whip up an easy Stir Fry dinner on those busy weekdays. 

*Soy Sauce alternatives - soy is best avoided for many reasons. Most soy is GMO. Even organic soy can cause issues. Also, many soy products have wheat/gluten which adds to the list of reasons to avoid it if you can. 1st best choice is Coconut Aminos if you can get it. 2nd best choice would be Liquid Aminos or Tamari which are wheat-free/gluten-free soy sauces.

Clean Eating Tips to remember:
*Stainless Steel and Ceramic or Glass Cookware are the safest materials to cook in with the least amount of leaching into food when heat is applied. A high quality set of cookware is essential and will last a lifetime - and a longer lifetime at that because of it. 

*Stainless Steel, Food-grade Silicon or Wooden Cooking Utensils are the safest materials to cook with with the least amount of leaching into food when heat is applied. 

*My ½ Toasted / ½ Raw Philosophy for Nuts & Seeds:
Toasted - for flavour
Raw - for nutritional value

*Olive Oil - it’s best not to cook with Olive Oil, always consume raw. Best to drizzle Olive Oil over food just before serving. It’s better to avoid cooking with Olive Oil as it is a delicate oil and is damaged and becomes harmful to ingest when heated.

*Better oils for cooking with have a higher smoke point/less free radical forming when heated— Coconut Oil, Macadamia Oil and Grapeseed Oil

Yellow Indian Curry Dish
You will need: chopping board & knife; blender; stainless steel pots; glass jars w/ lid for storing; NOTES: Great 'make in BULK & freeze' meal idea If making the homemade Yellow Indian Curry Powder, add 5 minutes to recipe time (see recipe notes). If making the homemade Yellow Indian Curry Paste, add 45 minutes to recipe time (see recipe notes).

Instructions
  1. Roughly chop Onions, add to a large pot with 2 tbsp Coconut Oil and cook until soft.
  2. Finely grate/chop the Ginger, Garlic, Chillies and Coriander. Add all this, plus the Curry Paste to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Wash and cut the Sweet Potato and Potatoes into 1 inch cubes (approx.), rinse and drain the Chickpeas and blend/puree the Tomatoes. Add to the pot.
  4. Add the rest of the ingredients except the Zucchini. Top up with Spring Water if there is not enough liquid to cover the veg. Bring to a boil and then turn down to mid-low heat and allow to simmer for 30-40 min until water evaporates and potatoes are cooked through.
  5. While Curry is cooking, in a separate pot, bring the Quinoa and Spring Water to the boil. Strain the Quinoa - keep the water. Put the Quinoa in a stainless steel strainer on top of a pot, with the left over water in the bottom of the same pot and simmer the water to steam the Quinoa for 10 - 15 minutes (cover with a lid to keep moisture in).
  6. 5 min before serving, slice the Zucchini and stir in to allow it to cook for a few minutes before serving (adding in last prevents Zucchini from being overcooked).
  7. Serve the Curry on cooked Quinoa with a selection of Toppings.
Recipe Notes

*You can basically use any veggies you have in your pantry or fridge, and cook with the Yellow Indian Curry Paste to cook up a hearty Curry Dish.

*I make bulk batches of this Curry Dish and portion and freeze for future quick and easy meals.  

*Make your own Nut Milk: Grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup Water.

*You can make your own homemade Yellow Indian Curry Paste - I also make this curry paste in bulk batches and portion and freeze for future use.

*Check out this Yellow Indian Curry Dip made with the same Yellow Indian Curry Paste.

*Choose BPA-free tins when buying pre-cooked Chickpeas if possible or even better, see below recipe for cooking your own Chickpeas from scratch (it’s not as difficult as it seems, just allow a couple days before to prepare and cook them).

Serving Suggestions:

* Serve with cooked Rice or Quinoa

* Make a Fresh Mango Salsa for a topping - 10 minutes to make
If no Mango, still delicious without.
1/2 Mango (large)
1/2 Red Onion
1/2 cup Tomatoes
1/2 cup Cucumber
1/2 bunch Coriander (fresh)
Chop into small pieces and mix together and serve fresh as a topping with any Curry Dish.

How to cook your own Chickpeas from scratch:
NOTE: Start this 2 days before you want to use Chickpeas in a recipe.

1 cup dry chickpeas = approx. 2 - 2 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas

Day 1 - evening
1 cup dry Chickpeas
3-4 cups Spring Water (water should be double higher than chickpeas in dish)
1 tsp Salt
1. Put ingredients in a large ceramic or glass bowl - the Chickpeas will swell to 2-3x their dry size.

Day 2 - morning
Drain Chickpeas and change the salted water.

Day 2 - evening
Put Chickpeas in large pot of Spring Water
Cook for approximately 1 hour+ until chickpeas are soft.
Drain, let cool and refrigerate in sealed glass container.

Day 3 - Recipe day
Chickpeas are ready and waiting to made into your recipe of choice!

  • 4 large Cos Lettuce leaves (or gluten-free wraps - be sure to choose a gluten-free wrap free from soy, corn or other GMO ingredients unless certified organic)
  • 1 small handful Coriander leaves
Instructions
  1. Nut Mince: Pulse Walnuts roughly in a blender or food processor. Add Sun-dried Tomatoes and pulse again until combined.
  2. Nut Mince: Finely chop/mash Garlic, and finely chop the Brown Onion and add this along with the remaining ingredients and pulse/process until combined.
  3. Guacamole: Mash Avocados and add the juice of the Lemons / Limes and mix through.
  4. Guacamole: Chop Tomatoes, Red Onion, Chillies, Coriander and finely chopped Garlic and mix together.
  5. Guacamole: Add Sea Salt and Lemons / Limes juice to taste (add more if needed).
  6. Cashew Sour Cream: Grind the Cashew Nuts into a flour-like consistency, using a blender (with grinder attachment - see description above).
  7. Cashew Sour Cream: Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. You can add a little more Nut Milk for a thinner consistency.
  8. To make Wraps: Layer Nut Mince, Guacamole and Cashew Sour Cream onto Cos Lettuce leaves. Optional - top with fresh chopped Coriander.
Recipe Notes

*Choose Sun-dried Tomatoes that don’t have preservatives or additives and which come jarred in clean oils like Sunflower Seed Oil, good quality cold-pressed Olive Oil etc - avoid Canola Oil which is GMO.

Making your own Sun-dried Tomatoes is actually not as difficult as it seems, you only need good time management in terms of planning ahead and making them at least a few days before you need them in a recipe. I make a big batch and store them in oil in a sealed glass jar in the fridge and they last over a month! Find the recipe here

*You can use a few regular tomatoes instead of baby tomatoes in the Guacamole - I just love the sweetness of baby tomatoes. The redder the tomatoes, the better they taste.

*Tomatoes are on the EWG - Environmental Working Group’s ‘Dirty Dozen’ list which makes them highly sprayed with pesticides. Use organic/spray-free Tomatoes or if you really can’t find any, give the Tomatoes a bath in White Vinegar water (¼ cup White Vinegar mixed with 2-3 cups of water) to help remove as much pesticide residue as possible.

*Store left over Nut Mince, Guacamole and Cashew Sour Cream in a sealed glass jar in the fridge. Eat within 1-2 days.

*Another nice addition to these lettuce wraps as a topping is the Mexican Tomato Salsa

Recipe Notes

*Always make fresh where possible - you get the most benefits and cleansing/detoxing effects from freshly juiced juice.

*If need be, prepare juice the night before - add citrus such as oranges, lemon and lime to your juice as it acts as a natural preservative and will keep your juice fresher for longer.

*Seal with a lid in a glass bottle  - never in plastic. Plastic will leach into your juice and plastic adds to the bio-accumulation of chemicals in the body (chemical body burden), contributing to The Toxic Fat Effect! (see Module 2)

My thoughts on having a Fresh Life Juicing Habit:

Fresh juicing is so important on your Fresh Life Internal Makeover Journey. It is a quick and delicious way to get live enzymes - which can only be obtained from raw plants/veggies and fruits - plus vital nutrients into your body for your cells to function optimally.

It is also one of the most powerful, gentle, safe, daily cleansing rituals you can do consistently to help your body to move xeno-toxins (which cause The Toxic Fat Effect - Module 2) from the body every day.

Gone are the days of getting away with occasionally doing a cleanse, or doing a detox a few times a year. The influx and exposure of toxins we have on a daily basis is now too much and too varied for our bodies to handle on its own.

These daily toxins bio-accumulate in our bodies (refer to Module 2 work) and most won’t move out of the body without specific assistance.

We have to be proactive to get the results we want. 

We have to, as I like to say, “ABC - always be cleansing…”

If you want to Live Your Best Fresh Life, juicing needs to be a regular part of your days.

During the initial stage of my journey I was drinking a lot of freshly made juices. It’s a big part of the reason I was able to lose so much toxic fat/excess weight so quickly. And in a healthy way.

I was drinking at least 300ml-900ml per day of fresh juice along with eating clean and doing as many gentle and regular cleansing practises as possible.

I lost the weight effortlessly, and have been able to effortlessly keep it off for these past 6+ years. Why? Juicing is time-tested, and proven to work.

Which is why it is an integral part of my Fresh Life Formula. Fresh juices keeps flooding those powerhouse nutrients through the body, and keeps flushing daily toxic exposures out of the body, every single day.

I always try to have at least 1x fresh juice per day or more.

Prep Tip: You can always make juice the night before if you’re going to be rushed the next day.

Storing Tip: Just seal in a glass jar with a lid in the fridge so it’s ready to go in the morning.

Storing Tip: Adding citrus to your juice will act as a natural preserver, so if you are going to make the night before, be sure to add oranges, lemon and/or lime. It makes your juices taste even more delicious anyway.

The darker the green colour of a plant, the more chlorophyll the plant contains. And chlorophyll helps to push toxins from our cells and bind and remove them from our blood stream and gut.

Over and above everything, if I can only do one thing in a day, it will be to ensure I have at least one raw juice or smoothie a day - preferably a Green one!

Alternating colours is also a good idea to ensure your body is receiving a full spectrum of nutrients - eating/drinking the whole rainbow of colours we find in vegetables and fruits will achieve this without you even having to think about what your body needs.

To refresh on all the best information I’ve researched, go back to Module 4 to go over your Just Add Juicing Module content.
