Orange Ricotta Cream Cheeze
Hiya Beautiful,
The recipe: Orange Ricotta Cream Cheeze made of macadamia nuts is from from my new book Sexy Fit & Fabulous: 130 Raw Food Recipes, Tools & Tips for Radiant Health, A Slim Body, Abundant Energy and Timeless Beauty
Orange Ricotta Cream Cheeze – made with soft and buttery macadamia nuts, a delicious alternative to dairy cheeses. It’s tasty with fruits, vegetables, crackers, or on sprouted bread. The crunchiness of macadamia nuts adds interest to this slightly sweet cream cheeze.
MACADAMIA NUTS
Macadamia nuts are a source of selenium, iron, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, carbohydrates and fibre. They are high in fat and zinc, the beauty mineral. The fat contains over 80 percent beautifying monounsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid (omega 9), which is a good fat. Oleic acid significantly reduces blood serum cholesterol levels. It enhances the protective high-density lipoproteins and suppresses low-density lipoproteins.
Macadamias also contains palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that acts as an antioxidant, preventing deterioration of cell membranes. It can even help restore damaged skin.
Macadamias also contain phytonutrient compounds, flavonoids, phytoestrogens, phytic acids, ellagic acid, saponins and lignans, and help rejuvenate the liver.
COCONUT WATER
Coconut water benefits:
Young coconut water is also a great source of electrolytes, and is a good dehydration drink very similar in composition to human blood plasma.
