“Ripe vegetables were magic to me. Unharvested, the garden bristled with possibility.”
~ Michael Pollan

Veggie Magic

When it comes to following a healing diet, vegetables are really important. They contain phytonutrients you can't find elsewhere, which is why Terry Wahls recommends 6-9 cups daily, and Sarah Ballantyne recommends 8-14 cups daily. Paleo may be famous for its meat, but most of us eat #morevegetablesthanavegetarian. Some people are overwhelmed when they hear those numbers. If that's you, take a deep breath. I'm here to help!

  • First, know that the veggies are measured raw, and many cook down in size, especially greens.
  • Second, take into account your body size. 6 cups is about right for a petite woman. 14 cups is suitable for a large man.
  • Third, if you have room for AIP-friendly breads and desserts, you have room for vegetables, and the vegetables should take priority.
  • For optimal nutrition, eat as wide a variety as possible. That means that if you eat the same vegetables every week, it's time to try something new. I have a huge recipe roundup below, to help you. Vegetables have never tasted so good!
  • If you still have trouble eating enough vegetables, try supplementing with Dr. Cowan's Garden Vegetable Powders. 1/2 teaspoon of their organic dehydrated vegetables equals 1/2 cup cooked or 1 cup raw fresh vegetables. They shouldn't replace all of your vegetable intake, but they can give it a boost both in quantity and diversity. Use the code PHOENIX for 15% off your first order.
