To make the Budwig Diet, you will need to have 2 appliances: 

  • A coffee bean grinder to grind the flaxseeds.
  • An immersion hand-held blender (a stick-shaped mixer) It’s important to use an electric mixer rather than stirring by hand.

Ingredients you will need:

(2-to-1 ratio for the cottage cheese/flax oil)

4 tbsp organic cottage cheese

2 tbsp lemon-flavored raw flax oil

(always use the kind found in the refrigerated sections of your health food store)

1 1/2 – 2 tbsp raw honey

2 tbsp fresh ground flax seeds

handful of walnuts, ground up coarsely

handful of organic berries (whatever is in season)

1.  Using a hand-held blender/mixer, blend the cottage cheese and the flax oil until the flax oil is completely blended into the mixture.

2.  Add the raw honey and blend again until smooth and creamy.

3.  Add ground walnuts to the bottom of the dish, then spoon on cottage cheese mixture.  Grind up the flax seeds and immediately sprinkle them on top, then add the blueberries.

4.  Eat immediately!

(the oil in the flax seeds will remain fresh for about 15 minutes, but then it will start to turn rancid)

Broccoli in Coconut Oil, Ginger, and Garlic

You will need:

2-3 broccoli heads, including the stem

small vidalia onion, diced

coconut oil

2 garlic cloves

1-2 inch piece of ginger, peeled

1.  Heat coconut oil in medium wok on medium heat and cook onion until just barely soft.  Cut broccoli into large pieces, set aside.

2.  While onion is cooking, press the garlic in a hand-hald garlic press,then scrape the minced garlic into the wok and toss in the flattened piece for extra garlic flavor.

3.  Add broccoli to the wok and grate the ginger onto the broccoli, season with high quality sea salt.  

4.  Toss and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, placing a lid on top between tossings so that the steam starts to turn the broccoli bright green.

5.  Serve immediately, and before the broccoli has a chance to cook too much.

For additional cancer-fighting power, slice the stem of the broccoli into 1/4 inch pieces and add to the mixture.  The stem is where the majority of the cancer-fighting nutrients are, but don’t over-cook it or you will kill important enzymes!
