I just got this email from one of my sisters to another, copied to me:
i think i promised you the recipe for budwig cream (the breakfast i've been eating for 10 years that helps support proper immune function)... nicole, i think you might also be interested.
many people around me are interested when i give them the recipe and people like it.
to find out more about its origins you can look up dr. kousmine, who had unusual ideas about the development of degenerative diseases (most, according to her); most of the info is in french. the key ingredient is the flax seed oil.
my basic recipe for budwig cream:
one ripe banana mashed to a pulp
freshly squeezed juice of half a lemon
1 to 2 tblsp flax seed oil
1 to 2 tblsp no-fat fresh white cheese (ie. quark)
4 tblsp freshly milled grains and seeds (details below)
mash the banana.
use the lemon juice to emulsify the oil (beat them together to form a homogenous mixture).
beat in the quark cheese and mix all with the banana.
mix in the freshly milled cereal and seeds.
let sit for 2 to 5 minutes and eat!
add chopped fruits or berries for added goodness and add honey if desired for taste (but sweet enough as is).
this is a raw food and nothing should be cooked, toasted, baked!
this is also a complete food and has all your essential vitamins (including E), with basic protein, low-glycemic carbs, essential fatty acids, and lots of fibre.
this is also a maintenance breakfast meaning it keeps you going all morning!
for the grains and seeds i buy 4 types and premix in a jar. i take out 4 tblsp each time which i then grind. best to use 2 seeds and 2 cereals. the essential seed is flax and i also use sunflower.
flax is important to balance the oil, and the lignins may also help prevent many things including breast cancer. flax and sunflower by far have the highest proportion of the essential omega-3s and this breakfast will provide your daily requirement.
the grains i use are oats (in the form of oat groats, ie. never milled) and millet.
never never use wheat or rye (too hard). i bought a little coffee grinder which i use as a mill and this one has lasted more than 5 years. i think i ruined the last one using sesame seeds....
the cheese has to be no animal-fat to allow absorption of the vegetable oils. i use no-fat yogurt if i can't find the quark and you can use soy but i prefer the quark.
let me know if you end up making it. enjoy.
