We realize that for some True Wellness approved eating is a whole new world! Make it easier on yourself by learning to transform you favorites or by learning to simply adjust yummy recipes you come across. We also suggest keeping your blood type specific diet in the kitchen to reference when making a meal. You can often substitute a type of meat, vegetable, seasoning or grain in your meal to maximize the benefits. Have fun and be inspired!
milk= heavy cream, goats milk, hemp milk or almond milk can all be substituted. choose wisely as some flavors may change the flavor of your dish.
onions=leeks! onions clog our lymph and should generally be avoided if possible. leeks are a great alternative and can easily be found organically grown in your grocery store.
white flour=spelt flour is one of the easiest to alternate for regular flours, although it is not gluten free it can be used in moderation. you can easily find great gluten free alternatives of all purpose flour by Bob's Red Mill, Arrowhead Mills and King Arthur's flour for starters. Be extra careful when baking as most recipes are sensitive to the type of flour called for.
sugar=maple syrup or honey. with some recipes you can deliciously replace the sugar for these local, organic options.
canned foods=try fresh when available. if not that is not an option, frozen is a great alternative. for beans we highly recommend soaking your own for maximum health.
cheese=you can find delicious alternatives to cow dairy, everything from cheddar to feta to mozzarella. we are big cheese lovers here and have found a plethora of cheeses that are simply amazing. some of our favorites that can be easily found at most grocery stores are drunken goat, manchego, petit basque, buffalo mozzarella and chevre. have fun experimenting with new types!
vegetable oil=quality olive oils, butter and coconut oil will work wonderfully and can add great dimension to a dish. as always shop for the best quality ingredients that are organically grown.
bread crumbs=toasted Ezekiel bread or another gluten free bread is a yummy alternative. after toasting, put in food processor and season to your own taste, blend. so much yummier and with no hidden junk!
rice=why not ditch this nutrient lacking carb and try quinoa, barley, lentils or some of the other alternatives on the shelf! it may take a few tries before you learn to cook and season it to your liking.
