Jing City is a powerful superfood powder mix created by Truth Calkins. He is one of the leading experts in the raw food community, and he has created this powder to help combat fatigue and mental unclarity. The drink is extremely powerful and goes to work immediately after you consume it. It can literally knock you out if you take it too strong. Therefore, Truth recommends that you take it at the half dose if you are not used to it.
There are several recipes available at the LongevityWarehouse, where you can buy the mix. However, you can drink it plain, or create your own way of drinking it.
Currently I am enjoying it with the following ingredients:
1 cup hot tea, such as holy basil, passionflower or green tea.
1/4 cup of fresh nut milk.
3 tbsp. Jing City
1 tbsp. of coconut oil
1 tbsp. or less black strap mollases
Although the drink is tasty, the powder itself does not smell good at all. When I first opened the bag I wanted to throw it out. But because I paid such a high price for it, I made myself try it, and to my surprise I loved it. It is a great way to start my day and keeps me energized throughout the day.
Although the mix is expensive, the benefits of it far outweigh the high price. To purchase it, simply visit this page.

Ways to Consume Garlic for Parasites
There are many ways to consume garlic for parasites, which includes in smoothies, dressings, salads and in tea. Most people cringe when they think about the miracle herb as it not only has a pungent taste, but it also leaves the individual with a strong and undesirable garlic breath.
Regardless of the undesirables, garlic is one of the cheapest and most effective natural remedies against a large variety of parasites. And what is even better is that garlic does not have to taste that bad when combined with the right foods. As a matter of fact, it is actually pretty good when added into every dishes in moderate amounts.
Garlic is available year round in the produce section of the grocery store. It comes in a bulb that consists of numerous cloves, which can easily be broken apart as needed. Each clove contains a thin dry film that can be removed with a knife or peeled away with the fingernails. The garlic clove can then be used whole, chopped up or minced, and added to a variety of foods.
Green Smoothies
Garlic can be added to a variety of green smoothies with fresh lemon juice, cucumbers, lettuce and other greens. One clove is all that is needed in order to spice up a large smoothie.
Green smoothies can be mixed up with fresh fruits, however, when it comes to a parasite remedy, the sweet fruits, such as bananas, apples and peaches should be avoided due to their high sugar content.
Avocado
Avocados are high in fat and generally do not have much flavor in them. Therefore, they are suitable for mixing with chopped garlic in order to help eliminate the sting from the garlic. Other herbs and spices can be added as well in order to distract from the garlic flavor.
Salad Dressing
Adding a fresh clove of garlic to a salad dressing is a great way to add some kick to the salad, while at the same time avoiding the strong taste of it. The garlic can be combined with some sea salt, lemon juice, olive oil, and half of an English cucumber or a tomato for a dressing suitable for a wide variety of salads.
Tea
Garlic tea is not the tastiest tea on the planet, and I would much rather consume whole garlic than to drink the tea. However, there might be some who would rather drink the tea. To make the tea, the garlic can be finely chopped and put into a tea ball along with other herbs or spices. Grated ginger is a suitable partner, which goes well with cloves, cinnamon and a variety of other herbs and spices. The garlic tea can also be lightly sweetened with a natural sweetener, such as raw honey.
In order for garlic to be effective against parasites, it should be consumed along with other anti-parasitical foods and spices, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkins seeds, cloves, ginger and coconut oil. At the same time, foods that feed the parasites should be avoided.

Matcha Latte
Matcha is a green Japanese tea that comes in a powdered form. It is fairly expensive, but it is one of the best foods for antioxidants, which help to fight against free radicals. According to research matcha contains more antioxidants than goji berries, pomegranate and cranberries.
Not only is matcha high in antioxidants, but it is also helpful against parasites, cancer and can dramatically improve mental clarity. You can add matcha tea to a variety of foods including yogurt, smoothies and also make a green tea or latte. If you are not used to the greens, then you might not like the taste of matcha, but after a few tries you will begin to like it. You can always start off with a 1/4 tsp. to 1 cup and work your way up.
Here is a Matcha latte recipe made with almond nut milk. It is a rich and creamy drink to get a high amount of antioxidants into your body. The recipe also calls for coconut oil, which is also linked to a variety of health benefits, such as reduce cholesterol, improve brain health, and helps to eliminate parasites. You can enjoy the matcha either hot or cold as you desire.

Stuffed Grape Leaves
When I came across this recipe for rice stuffed grape leaves dolmas I knew that I had to try them. At first I wasn't sure if I would be able to find the grape leaves because I had never heard that you could eat them. But I managed to find them at an Asian supermarket, pickled and in a large jar.
The grape leaves smelled like grapes when I opened the jar and somewhat tasted like them too. I don't know whether this is really how they taste, or if it was the sauce that they were in. Nonetheless, they tasted great.
Rice is one of my favorite foods, and after preparing it I was tempted to eat it as it was. But I had already bought the grape leaves and so I went ahead and prepared the recipe as instructed and it turned out really well. It was really filling too.
I have lots of grape leaves left over, so I will be making this again in the near future. Here is the link to the recipe.

Summer Salad With Avocado and Corn
Salads are one of my favorite foods because they are low in calories and high in nutrients. And best of all, you can add just about any ingredient to make them just as tasty as any other dish. Commercially packaged salad dressings work well, but they contain a ton of ingredients that we really should not be putting into our bodies. So I always look for natural ways of sprucing up a salad in order to avoid harmful ingredients.
This Avocado and Corn Summer Salad is one of those salads that uses natural ingredients and yet has all the flavor. Everything in the recipe is raw, except for the corn. But if you can get non-GMO and organic corn then you could easily use raw corn as well.
I love how the flavors all blend together in the recipe and the overall flavor is somewhat of a sweet and sour taste, which is due to the lemon and corn. I did not have the garlic salt and added the sea salt as recommended as a substitute and it turned out great. Click Here for the recipe.

Simple Strawberry Pulp Mousse
It always seems like a waste to throw away the pulp after making fresh fruit juices, but there are many ways that the pulp can be used. Strawberry pulp, for example can be used to make a delicious strawberry pulp mousse. The ingredients that I used for this recipe are very simple and it only takes a few minutes to make the treat.
The only downfall about this raw mousse recipe is that the pulp contains a lot of small seeds. Nonetheless, with the coconut and maca flavors it is a delicious treat that you can serve up for dessert or enjoy it as an afternoon snack.
Instead of the strawberry pulp, you can also use whole strawberries to make the mousse. Just remember that the strawberries contain juice, which means that you will have to ease up on the nut milk in order to keep a nice consistency. To compensate for the reduced amount of nut milk, you can simply make the milk with less water. Click Here for the recipe...

Asparagus and Green Beans
Asparagus is always best when it is fresh and in season. So I have been having my share of it this season to last me for the rest of the year. And although I am a huge fan of the raw food diet, I have not tried raw asparagus yet. Perhaps in the future I might advance to that stage, but for now I will continue to enjoy lightly steamed asparagus.
One of my favorite and easiest ways to prepare the asparagus is to lightly steam it and dress it with olive oil and a sprinkle it with unrefined sea salt. Sometimes I also like to add a bit of Parmesan cheese, even though it is a processed food. I try to stay away from the processed stuff, but I still cave once in a while.
But today, I decided to try something else after stumbling upon a recipe for asparagus and green beans with citrus/garlic oil. The recipe calls for the zest and juice of a clementine to add more flavor to the dressing. I did not have a clementine, so I used about half of an orange and I admit, I like the extra zest.
Besides the great taste, the recipe is fast and easy to make and can be served as a main meal or as a side dish. I eat very plain, so I enjoyed is as my main meal.

The Root of My Health Problems
Okay, so I acknowledge that I have failed in keeping my food diary. But I had several reasons why I stopped. First, I think that it is rather mundane for me to keep track of all the food I eat, because my diet is so plain. Second, I came down with the cold, for the first time in like three years.
The good news however, is that I finally figured out the root of ALL my health problems that have plagued me my whole life. I have gone to doctors so many times as a child and even in my adult years, but they could never find out what was wrong with me. So for the last four years I finally took matters into my own hands and did my own research. And I am proud to say that I finally found the root of the problem.
At first I thought I had fibromyalgia, which I probably did because my muscles were so sore all the time, and I had all the other symptoms that accompany the horrible disease. Those symptoms had begun to die down because I have not done any physical work for almost three years now. Because of that I thought I was getting better, but I still had no energy! And now I know why...
So are you ready? Here I go....I discovered that I was massively infected with parasites. Not only in my intestines, but in my lungs, my head and I swear in the rest of my body too. I could literally feel them come out of my head. YUCK!! I still have not gotten rid of them all, but I am starting to feel my energy levels return.
So what did I do to get rid of them? GARLIC. The one food that people have been telling me about, as to how good it is for you, and the one food that I have rejected this whole time. I have never in my whole entire life enjoyed spicy foods, but now I have made a promise to myself that spice is what my diet will be from now on.
At first when I started to take the garlic I mixed it with olive oil, lemon juice and a few spices, but it got so disgusting that I couldn't down it anymore. Then I tried it with coconut oil, which was a little different, but not much better. Then I got smart and came up with my own recipe, and to be honest I really don't mind it at all. What I do now is chop up the garlic, and mix it with avocado, lemon juice, sea salt, turmeric, cayenne pepper and black pepper. You can get the parasite killer recipe here. I will definitely keep you posted on whether or not I am able to get rid of the parasites with diet alone, or if I will have to get a parasite cleansing kit. Hopefully a diet alone will do it for me.

Bean Dip with Avocados, Tomatoes and Cilantro
Well I decided to treat myself again today. I made a bean dip with avocados, tomatoes, cilantro and a few other ingredient. (I will post the recipe soon) I served it for lunch with home-made tortilla chips. It was very good, but I saved some for tomorrow.
For breakfast I had 2 apples again. They are so cheap to purchase at this time of year, that I cannot help but eat them everyday.
And for supper I am enjoying a few superfood smoothies again, one made with acai berry powder, and the other with cacao, maca and ashwaganda. It really is amazing at how much the superfoods fill you up...I could like totally live on these foods...and nothing else. Perhaps I will try it one day.

Nothing New Today...
So I did not make anything new today. I finished the guacamole pomango for lunch today, and it was still just as good as it was yesterday. For breakfast I had my 2 apples, and for supper I had a smoothie with acai powder, flax seeds and a banana. (It was very good) The recipe is coming....
For drinks I had lemon water and acai powdered drinks. I may not have eaten that much, but right now, I still feel very full.

Guacamole and Homemade Tortilla Chips
Today I made this really awesome guacamole called "Guacamole Pomango". It was sooo good I could not help but overeat on it. I made some home-made tortilla chips to go with the recipe, and both were delicious.
The Guacamole Pomango recipe calls for the usual guacamole ingredients except for tomatoes. Then, it calls for pomegranate seeds and a mango to add some sweetness. So its like a sweet and sour guacamole, which I really like.
My Substitutions:
You can find the recipe for free here.
My Diet:

My Substitutions:
- I could not find a the pepper that the recipe calls for, and so I substituted half of a jalapeño pepper. (I do not like things too spicy).
- And because I love cilantro I added a bit more than what the recipe called for.
- I bought the mango, and it looked like it was of a good quality; but when I peeled it, it had these dark spots on the inside, and so I discarded it. I did not feel like returning to the store to get another one, and so I made it without the mango. :( Despite of that, the recipe was still great.
You can find the recipe for free here.
My Diet:
- For breakfast I had my 2 apples, with sea salt sprinkled on top of the slices.
- For lunch I had 2 bananas.
- And for supper....need I explain? (I did not eat all the chips or guacamole, but I had plenty).
- For my drinks today, I had a few superfood smoothies made with raw cacao, maca and acai powder. I also had a few cups of lemon water.

Made an Acai Powder Smoothie
Today I made an acai powder smoothie, and I have to tell you it tasted pretty good! I made it very simple with honey, water and coconut oil. I am thinking of adding a few other ingredients, and for that I will have to do some experiments. Once I have something I really I will post the recipe for it.
Other things that I had to drink were lemon water with honey, as well as a few superfood drinks with raw cacao, maca, coconut oil, honey and a hint of ashwaganda. Again, once I get this perfected, I will post a recipe for them.
Breakfast: For breakfast I had 2 apples, cut up, and lightly salted with sea salt. I do not know why, but I just LOVE sea salt, and can't seem to live without it.
Lunch: For lunch I had a large salad made with romaine lettuce, and for the dressing, an avocado, lemon juice and a hint of sea salt.
Snack: For my snack today, I once again had roasted sunflower seeds. They are always good! :)
I did not have supper, but I enjoyed the superfood drinks, and they really filled me up.
Oh, and I almost forgot....I had a cup of coffee today as well. I had not had the stuff all week, but today I decided to treat myself again....It was good. :)
Till tomorow...

Starting My Food Diary
So I have been trying to eat a raw food diet for just over 3 years now, but I still cave into cooked and processed foods almost on a weekly basis. I don't like it, because I have realized that I feel so much better if I do not resort to any cooked or especially processed foods.
So I am going to attempt keeping a food diary to help me stay on tract, and perhaps that will help me to take it to the 100% raw food mark by the end of the year or sooner. So the plan is to share with you everything that I eat each day, including breakfast, lunch, supper and my snacks, and drinks.
I will be sharing with you all my favorite foods, and post links to my favorite recipes, whether raw or not. Feel free to send me your favorite raw recipes and I will try them.
So for today...January 15th, I had the following foods:
Breakfast: I had a protein powder smoothie with an avocado, a banana, a small piece of ginger, some goji berries and the juice of 3 oranges.
Lunch: I had a late lunch today...the smoothie really filled me up. But I had a huge salad with romaine lettuce. For the dressing I mashed a large avocado, and mixed it with a little bit of sea salt and the juice of about 1/4 lemon, and massaged it into the lettuce. I also lightly toasted some sunflower seeds to top the salad.
Snacks: I roasted a lot of sunflower seeds, and snacked on them throughout the afternoon and into the evening. As a result I was not hungry for supper. Believe me, sunflower seeds are very filling.
Drinks: For my drinks, I decided to keep things simple today, and stuck with lemon juice with honey throughout the day.
