Kitchen Evolution Report

Kitchen Evolution workshop was a great success! We had an amazing group of health-loving explorers from all paths of life: a Chinese herbalist, a fashion photographer, a future Buddhist professor, a talented journalist, a modern dancer, a spa owner, a clothing designer – all united with a passion for wellness.

Lifethyme chef treated us to a tasty selection of raw, vegan, gluten-free puddings (Strawberry Pistachio Cake was a hit!), coconut  shake, raw sprouted lentil and zucchini hummus, sesame kale salad, Roasted vegetables and Quinoa pie, and a yummy chicken pot pie.  We tried BBQ and granola kale chip varieties, tasted a few energy treats with honey and pistachios, and made our own chia seed pudding.

We talked about ways to reduce acidity and inflammation using super greens, discussed time-saving cooking techniques (think: overnight soaking) and enzyme-rich smoothies. All the participants got a Kitchen Evolution Recipe Book with easy power food recipes.

If you missed the workshop, here are some of the most important highlights of the lecture:

  • It is possible to overeat but still be malnourished
  • Lack of nutrients is one of the main reasons you experience cravings
  • Some veggies are very rich in protein! Spinach and broccoli are made up of 30% protein
  • High-intensity exercise increases acidity in the body, dark greens and easily digestible proteins are the best way to alkalize your body and to help it  restore from a difficult workout
  • Highly acidic environment makes the inflammation more likely. Including lots of alkalizing foods in your diet will help to reduce inflammation (including allergies, IBS, and eczema)
  • You can turn any seed or grain into a super food but sprouting it
  • One of the fastest ways to provide a boost of energy to your body and mind is to have a liquid-based (soup, smoothie) meal with vegetable protein such as hemp, peas, or chia seeds, healthy carbs from fruits, and good oils like coconut or nuts
