What's for Lunch?

Lunch may be the most challenging meal to change, but don't despair. Whenever possible, use organic meats, fruits, and vegetables. For a two-week lunch transition, try the following suggestions:

• Buy sprouted bread, raw cheese, and sliced turkey and chicken from the local health food store, making sure they contain no nitrates or nitrites. Canned tuna in spring water without salt is an okay transition food. Condiments need to be purchased from the local health food store, making sure they contain no canola oil or sugars.
• Purchase sprouted tortillas for a burrito. Make sure the beans contain no lard, and stay away from pasteurized cheese. Add guacamole, salsa, and cilantro.
• All sprouted breads and tortillas, as well as sliced deli meats such as chicken and turkey, are transitional foods.

Follow the directions below for grains, seeds and nuts.

Grains: Add to the grain (millet, brown rice, quinoa, amaranth, etc.) an equal amount of purified, filtered, bottled, or distilled water. Add one tablespoon of raw organic apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (optional). Cover. Let sit at room temperature overnight (7-10 hours). Drain the water, rinse the grain, and put it back in the pot with an equal amount of purified water. Cook. Cooking time will be shorter for soaked grains.

Seeds and nuts: Put seeds or nuts in a bowl with purified water. If desired, add a pinch of sea salt. Leave them at room temperature overnight. In the morning, rinse and eat, or rinse and air-dry nuts or seeds on a towel. Eat within two or three days. You can rinse these two times a day until consumed.

Optimal Lunch Suggestions

Brantley Salmon on a String: Lightly seared salmon (rare in the middle), lightly steamed cabbage and string beans (steam 1-3 minutes). Add raw butter or cold-pressed olive oil and sea salt after steaming. Eat with a large salad.

Brantley Chops and Nuts: Raw chopped salad; choose veggies of all colors. Make a dressing with olive oil, lemon juice, spices, and finely diced parsley and cilantro. Add avocado slices and sprinkle sprouted seeds or nuts on top sprouted sesame seeds.

Brantley Salad of the Sea: Soak arame (or any seaweed you prefer) 5-30 minutes and rinse. Slice the seaweed, green onions, and cucumbers and toss with raw sesame oil and raw apple cider vinegar. Add seasonings, sea salt, and sprouted seeds or nuts. Marinate overnight. Eat with steamed corn or steamed yam with raw butter and sea salt.

Brantley Let People Rollup: Raw hummus, avocados, tomatoes and sprouts rolled in lettuce with condiments and spices (add sprouted nuts and seeds if desired). Instead of lettuce, nori (a black seaweed), which comes in sheets, may be substituted.

Optimal Dinner Suggestions (Whenever possible, use organic ingredients)

Brantley Coconut Drizzle: Drizzle raw coconut oil or raw cream over a bowl of fruit. Sprouted nuts or seeds are optional.

Brantley Sear Him Lightly: Lightly seared fish with grated carrots, beets, olive oil, and lemon. Carrots, beets, lemon juice, and olive oil are great to cleanse the liver and gallbladder.

Brantley Beet the Greens: Lightly steamed greens: kale, Swiss chard, collards, and beet greens. Choose one or a combo, and drizzle olive oil or use raw butter and lemon with seasonings.

Brantley Baked in the Raw: Baked potato with raw butter or olive oil with guacamole and salsa.

Snack Attacks

• Prepare in advance by bringing healthy snacks to work.
• If craving another sweet treat, the body may be deficient in raw fat and raw protein. In this case, eat half a teaspoon of raw coconut oil or half a teaspoon of raw butter on a raw sprouted cracker.
• It is all about balance and being able to figure out what the body is trying to say.

Brantley Snack suggestions:

• Apples, walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
• Raw sprouted trail mix and food bars.
• Celery sticks with raw, sprouted almond or cashew butter .
• Guacamole with sliced cucumber, carrots, and red bell pepper strips.
• Sprouted crackers with fresh salsa.
