Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Vegetable Juice

If you have never tasted fresh vegetable juice you are missing out on a truly delicious and nutritious drink. This easy recipe below is one of my favorites.


Ingredients

2 large carrots
2 large celery stalks
5 cups kale
2 large tomatoes or 1 14.5 oz can tomatoes
1 lime, juiced

Note: Use organic vegetables to add to the nutritional value of this drink and decrease your consumption of pesticides.

Directions

Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Peel carrots. Cut carrots, celery and tomatoes into several large pieces. Place vegetables into juicer, a few at a time. Collect juice in a large container or glass. Juice lime into container with citrus reamer*. Stir to combine well and drink.

*I like to juice limes, lemons, and oranges with a citrus reamer. Simply slice the fruit in half and twist the reamer in the citrus half to remove the juice and leave the pulp.
