Most grains such as wheat,
barley and rice are acid producing and are not eaten during a
cleanse. Amaranth, Millet and Quinoa are alkaline grains that are
available at health foods stores or health conscience markets.
|
|
Grains can be consumed during
the cleanse! But grains slow down both the digestion process and
cleansing process. During the Cleanse grains should be
consumed no more than two or three times per week This can be a helpful
tool in moderating your cleansing reaction. Sometimes when
emotions and or the stress of cleansing are to much grains can be added
to your diet to provide stabilizing factor. Root vegetables such as
carrots, beets, potatoes are also helpful to balance emotion and
stress.

Variations/Recommendations |

If you want a “nuttier” flavor, toast the
millet in a dry skillet or on a sheet pan in the oven, stirring often so
as not to burn, before adding to boiling water.
Serve warm topped with steamed, baked or grilled
vegetables.
If using for a dessert or breakfast cereal, omit
the dulse. Replace
some of the water with apple or orange juice to sweeten.
Add raisins, chopped apples and/or chopped dates before
