In the spring, seeds flaunt their vitality
and energy by sprouting. Sprouts of all varieties
contain the building blocks of life in the form of
vitamins, enzymes, amino acids and simple sugars. In
their early growth state, sprouts are very easy to
digest, allowing our bodies to access many wonderful
nutrients. Recent research by the American Cancer
Society has backed what holistic nutrition has known
for yearsÑthat sprouts contain anti-cancer
properties, high levels of active antioxidants,
concentrated amounts of phytochemicals and
significant amounts of vitamins A, C and D.
In their raw form, sprouts have a cooling effect on
the body, so it's best to eat them in warmer
weather, or if you tend to have a robust body type.
If you tend towards feeling too cool, try steaming
spouts or adding them to warm dishes such as stir
fries and soups. There are so many delicious
sprouts, each with different textures and flavors.
Alfalfa, mung bean, lentil, radish, clover,
sunflower, broccoli, garbanzo and adzuki are just a
few!
Think the only way to eat them is sprinkled on
salads or stirred in soups? You can also put them
in wraps, fold them into omelets, season up your
scrambled eggs, add texture to your grain dishes, or
garnish your side dishes with greens tastier than
the usual parsley.

I'm so excited to announce my upcoming workshop!
Join me for the first in a four-part series:
Dreading the hot weather to come? Maybe you turn
into a melted mush pile when the humidity hits.
Perhaps you find yourself engaging in activities or
reaching for food or drinks that ultimately leave
you feeling drained instead of refreshed. No need
to fear the wilting climate to come! Rather than
simply survive the next couple of months, you can
learn to work WITH the changing weather and make
your summer really sizzle. Nature's cycles stop for
no-one; and if you try to go on living, working, and
eating the exact same way all year 'round, you'll
soon find yourself flummoxed and burnt out.
In this workshop, you'll learn to counter Summer's
strain by going with the flow instead of against the
current. Uncover the secrets of traditional Chinese
wisdom, intuitive living, and Ayurvedic techniques
to discover your best way for achieving a truly
Sizzling Summer. Using these and other methods,
you'll gain a clear picture of how to successfully
support your summertime self. You'll also walk away
with specific activities, recipes, and inspired
ideas to help you have the best Summer ever!!!
Pre-registration required. Please call 646-246-7250
