It is so nice to have the nicer weather here! How would you like to eat a banana split and
have it be good for you? Well here is a
great recipe to try and it has NO ice cream!
Breakfast Banana Splits
Take cooked, warm or cold, oatmeal or brown rice. Cut bananas over the top of it. Top with
pineapple, blueberries and strawberries, or with whatever fruit you like. Pour carob syrup on top and then put soy
whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts!
Carob
Syrup
1 c. warm
water
¼ c. soy
supreme powder
⅓ c. carob powder
½ - ¾ c. honey
(to taste)
½ t. salt
Liquefy in blender until smooth.
Whipped Topping
1 cup water
2 t. powder, heaping OR 2 T. agar flakes
½ c. raw cashews
⅓ cup honey or ½ cup raw sugar (I have used both and they both work
great)
½ t. salt
1 can coconut milk
Stir
together the agar and water, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Place remaining ingredients in blender along with hot agar
mixture. Blend on high until smooth,
adding water as needed to make 3½ -4 cups total mixture. Pour into a quart
container and chill in refrigerator several hours or overnight.
Before using, place chilled mixture (which will be quite firm---almost
sliceable) in blender or food processor, and blend until creamy. (If you have a lightweight blender, you
should blend just half of the mix at a time.)
It should be the consistency of Cool Whip. Try not to add more
liquid. The mixture will eventually go
through the blades and become creamy if you carefully push it toward the blades
with a rubber spatula.
**********************************
The
agar is a key ingredient in this recipe. The mixture has to be
re-blended only once. Then it can be
frozen and used without re-blending, but remains a nice creamy texture. So make a double recipe and freeze in small
containers to use as needed for icing, dessert topping or pancakes. Makes 6
cups.
Did
you know that dairy ice cream is bad for you? It is unbelievably synthetic nowadays. Commercial ice creams have been
found to contain the following ingredients:
DIETHYL
GLYCOL: A cheap
chemical that is used as an emulsifier instead of eggs. It is identically the same chemical used in
anti-freeze and in paint removers.
PIPEERONAL: Is used
as a substitute for vanilla. This is a
chemical used to kill lice.
ALDEHYDE
C 17: Is used to
flavor cherry ice cream. It is an
inflammable liquid which is used in aniline dyes, plastic and rubber.
ETHYL
ACETATE: Is used to give ice cream a pineapple flavor. It is used as a cleaner for leather and
textiles, and its vapors have been known to cause chronic lung, liver, and
heart damage.
BUTRALDEHYDE: Is used in nut-flavored ice cream. It is a common ingredient in rubber cement.
AMYL
ACETATE: (am-il-uh-see-tik,) Is used for
its banana flavor. It is used as al oil
paint solvent.
BENZYL
ACETATE: Is used for its strawberry flavor.
It is a nitrate solvent. If ingesting components of antifreeze, oil
paint, paint remover, nitrate solvent, leather cleaner or lice killer does not
sound appetizing to you; try some recipes for natural ice cream. If you don’t have any, ask me as I have some
I would be happy to share with you.
Ice cream is
mainly made up of sugar and milk. Here is what inspiration says about
combining the two together.
“Sugar and milk combined are
liable to cause fermentation in the stomach, and are thus harmful.” CTBH 56
“THE
FREE USE OF MILK AND SUGAR TAKEN TOGETHER SHOULD BE AVOIDED.” CD 113 & MH 301
“Animals from which milk is obtained
are not always healthy. They may be diseased. A cow may be apparently well in the
morning, and die before night. Then she was
diseased in the morning, and her milk was diseased; but you
did not know it. The animal
creation is diseased.” TSDF 121
“Let
the people be taught how to prepare food without the use of milk or butter. Tell them that the time will
soon come when there
will be no safety in using eggs, milk, cream, or butter, because disease
in animals is increasing in proportion to the increase of wickedness among men.” CD 356
Notice
she said SOON come…well brothers and sisters, that time has come!
“THERE
IS NO SAFETY IN THE EATING OF THE FLESH OF DEAD ANIMALS, and in a short time the milk of the cows will also be excluded from
the diet of God's commandment-keeping people. In a SHORT TIME it will not be safe to
use anything that comes from the animal creation.” CD
411
“…salt, sugar, and MILK…We know
that a free use of these things is positively injurious to health, and, in many
cases, we think that if they were not used
at all, a
much better state of health would be enjoyed. But
at present our burden is not upon these things. The people are so far behind that we see it is
all they can bear to have us draw the line upon their injurious indulgences and
stimulating narcotics.
We bear positive
testimony against tobacco, spirituous liquors, snuff, tea, coffee, flesh meats,
butter, spices, rich cakes, mince pies, a large amount of salt, and all
exciting substances used as articles of food.” (3T 21.1)
Can you
name any food that is higher in calcium per cup than milk? There are MANY….here
are a few…Collards, Bok Choy, Turnip Greens,
Kale and Sesame Seeds (at least 2 T.) So you see we can get plenty
of calcium in other ways, we don’t need milk.
“…As
disease in animals increases, the use of milk and eggs will become more and
more unsafe. An effort should be made to
supply their place with other things that are healthful and inexpensive. The people
everywhere should be taught how to cook without milk and eggs,
so far as possible, and yet have their food wholesome and palatable.” (MH 320)
LOOK
AT WHAT DOCTORS HAD TO SAY MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO!
It’s
got to be worse now I am sure.
“In reality, cow's milk, especially processed cow's milk, has been
linked to a variety of health problems, including: mucous
production, hemoglobin loss, childhood diabetes, heart disease, atherosclerosis,
arthritis, kidney stones, mood swings, depression, irritability, allergies.” --
Townsend Medical Letter, May, 1995, Julie Klotter, MD
“At
least 50% of all children
in the United States are allergic to cow's milk, many undiagnosed. Dairy products
are the leading cause of food allergy, often revealed by diarrhea, constipation,
and fatigue. Many cases of asthma and
sinus infections are reported to be relieved and even eliminated by cutting out
dairy.” -- Natural Health, July, 1994, Nathaniel Mead, MD
“Dairy
products may play a major role in the development of allergies, asthma, sleep
difficulties, and migraine headaches.” -- Pediatrics
1989; 84(4):595-603
“Most
formula fed infants developed symptoms of allergic rejection to cow milk
proteins before one month of age. About 50-70% experienced rashes or other skin
symptoms, 50-60% gastrointestinal symptoms, and 20-30% respiratory symptoms.
The recommended therapy is to avoid cow's milk.” ---Epidemiological and Immunological Aspects of Cow's Milk Protein
ALLERGY and Intolerance in Infancy." Pediatric- Allergy-Immunology,
August, 1994, 5(Suppl.)
