Carma’s Cookery – The Show! Episode 9: Jump Start Reboot Day 4

Carma Goes on Manuel Villacorta’s Jump Start Reboot from Whole Body Reboot

Jumpstart Reboot Green Day 4 Ingredients“If you eat too quickly, your body will push you to keep eating, and you can overeat. When people eat too fast, they never feel satisfied. Take your time when eating and savor the flavors of your nourishing food.”
~ Manuel Villacorta

Today I present day four of a 5-day detox from Manuel Villacorta’s book Whole Body Reboot: The Peruvian Super Foods Diet to Detoxify, Energize, and Supercharge Fat Loss. The reboot is organized by the colors of the rainbow. Monday was Red, Tuesday was Orange, Wednesday was Yellow, and today is Green.

The superfood in today’s smoothie is avocado. According to WebMD, avocados offer nearly 20 vitamins and minerals in every serving. In addition, they are low in surgar and contain fiber, which can help you feel fuller longer. In fact, “In one study, people who added a fresh avocado half to their lunch were less interested in eating during the next three hours.”

Although avocados are high in fat, it is a healthy fat, which can help lower bad cholesterol, as long as you consume them in moderation.

Note, also according to WebMD, if you have an allergy latex, you should talk to your doctor before adding avocado to your diet. “People with a serious allergy to latex may also experience symptoms after eating avocado.”

Avocados are native to Mexico and Central America and, although they have a nutty flavor are actually botanically berries.

Carma’s Cookery – The Show! Episode 8: Jump Start Reboot Day 3

Carma Goes on Manuel Villacorta’s Jump Start Reboot from Whole Body Reboot

ingredients“In Peru, people take two hours on average for lunch. In the United States, we typically take five to ten minutes. I understand that not everyone has two hours during a workday. Nevertheless, we can take at least twenty minutes to sit down, chew our food, and be present in the act of eating.”
~ Manuel Villacorta

Today I present day three of a 5-day detox from Manuel Villacorta’s book Whole Body Reboot: The Peruvian Super Foods Diet to Detoxify, Energize, and Supercharge Fat Loss. The reboot is organized by the colors of the rainbow. Monday was Red, Tuesday was Orange, and today is Yellow.

The superfoods in today’s smoothie are chia seeds and pichuberries (also called golden berries). I was unable to purchase fresh pichuberries, but I did find some dried ones.

In the video, I forgot to mention or add the protein, which is a very important component of the beverage. But never fear, I remembered once the camera was off and blended it right in!

Today’s spice was tumeric. One of my previous guests on Carma’s Cookery shared some really good information about the health benefits of this spice. You can find that episode here.

Carma’s Cookery – The Show! Episode 7: Jump Start Reboot Day 2

Carma Goes on Manuel Villacorta’s Jump Start Reboot from Whole Body Reboot

ingredients1“Eating should be a time of relaxation, awareness and mindfulness.”
~ Manuel Villacorta

Yesterday, I posted the first video in this five-part series of Carma’s Cookery vodcasts. Monday was the first day of a 5-day detox from Manuel Villacorta’s book Whole Body Reboot: The Peruvian Super Foods Diet to Detoxify, Energize, and Supercharge Fat Loss. The reboot is organized by the colors of the rainbow. Yesterday was Red and today is Orange.

The dominant superfood in today’s smoothie is the papaya. I grew up eating this fruit with a bit of lemon juice squeezed in. To make this smoothie taste good, you need to make sure that your papaya is ripe and sweet.

To prepare, cut it in half. Then use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. The flesh should be tender, but still slightly firm. This is a good color for a papaya:
