3. Lemon cherry yogurt parfait

Ingredients:

• 2 cups coconut kefir cheese

*Though popular in sugar-free recipes, cherries are not included in Stage 1, the healing stage of Body Ecology. Sometimes even sour fruits can cause candida to act up. Ideally, fruits should be eaten alone, on an empty stomach, and combined with a good fermented food, so that the microbes can help consume the sugar, and you can enjoy the delicious flavor.

4. Rice pudding

Ingredients:

• 1 lemon ginger teabag
• ¼ tsp. fine grind Celtic sea salt
• 1-2 tsp. BE Sweet (or to taste)
• 1 cup white basmati rice
• 2 cups Amasake (plain flavor is our favorite)
• 1½ cups pure organic cream
• 2-3 tsp. organic vanilla extract (alcohol-free preferred)
• Dash of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional but tasty)

Instructions:

1. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan (at least 3-quart capacity). Drop in teabag and let steep for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove teabag and bring water to boil again.
2. Stir in the salt, BE Sweet, and rice. Reduce heat and simmer over low heat, stirring once or twice, about 20 minutes.
3. Add the amasake and continue to simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes more.
4. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cream, cinnamon or nutmeg, and the vanilla.
5. Pour into a baking dish and bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until brown on top and firm. Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled.

*Soak rice for 8 to 12 hours to remove the enzyme inhibitors. And better yet, add a spoonful of young coconut kefir or InnergyBiotic to the soaking water to help “pre-digest” the grain/rice, making it even more digestible.

5. Spicy chai tea

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups cold, filtered water
• 1 cinnamon stick, broken
• 3 cardamom pods
• 3 whole cloves
• 2 black peppercorns
• 1 tbsp. rooibos tea
• Fresh ginger, 1/4″ thick
• 1-2 tsp. BE Sweet powder (or to taste)

Instructions:

1. Steep cinnamon in boiling water for two minutes.
2. Return pan to heat, and bring to a boil. Add tea, spices, and BE Sweet, and remove pan from heat. Allow to steep for three minutes.
3. Strain and enjoy.
