Do You Suffer from Beige Food Syndrome?
Are the foods on your plate all beige? Are you, your spouse or children choosing colourful foods limited to rainbow-coloured skittles, fruit loops and ketchup? If so, then you probably suffer from beige food syndrome.
Your naturopathic health tip: don’t save the best for last! Fill your plate with salad before proceeding to other menu options.
Does your salad have at least 5 different colours? If it doesn’t, dress it up! Add liberal amounts of the following eight super food ingredients, which also happen to be terrific belly-busters!
1. Purple kale.
2. Baby bok choy.
3. Pomegranate seeds.
4. Snow peas.
5. Hemp hearts.
6. Golden beets.
7. Edamame.
8. Multi-coloured quinoa.
Need “cheat” tips keeping meal preparation easy? Purchase prewashed mixed leafy field greens with herbs for your salad base.
How fresh produce savvy were you? Could you identify all the produce listed, without looking at the names? Don’t suffer another day from beige food syndrome and speak with your Naturopathic Doctor about how to incorporate healthier meals into your hectic schedule.

Super Bowl Salads, Not Just for Super Bowl!
Today, I received a couple of grins in our local grocery store, while excitedly rummaging through the fresh produce section. It made me think long and hard about how I could bring such an enthusiasm for healthy food cravings to my own patients. I thought I would spare you having to wait another full year before sharing with you my love affair with salads, ahem, super bowl salads. I encourage you to explore how the combination of different vegetables and fruits can add an exciting twist and an array of plant-based, nutrient-dense goodness to your diet.
Not sure where to start? Your naturopathic health tip: make it a point to try a new vegetable or fruit each week!
Every week I make it a point to purchase something I have never eaten before. This week it was kumquats. In a nutshell, kumquats are about the size of a cherry tomato, and they have the refreshing taste of a mini-orange and contain high amounts of vitamin C.
This past week, I enjoyed them whole, munching on them between patients for my afternoon pick-me-up snack. In the evening, I enjoyed both the colour and taste they imparted to my super bowl salad.
Try tossing together this refreshing red and green kale salad with a splash of sliced kumquats, which only takes a few minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
• 8 handfuls of organic red and green kale
• 1/2 cup hemp hearts
• 24 kumquats sliced lengthwise
Dressing
• fresh juice from 1 orange
• 2 tbsp orange rind
• 1/3 cup sesame or extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup brown rice vinegar
• 4 tbsp of hemp oil
• 1/2 cup fresh mint
Easy Peasy Preparation Instructions
Place all the dressing ingredients into a food processor and coarsely blend about 30 seconds. Combine your salad ingredients of red and green kale into a large bowl, layer the hemp hearts and sliced kumquats, and toss with the dressing. This makes 4 generous servings. To your health!
