TheDoctorsTV and Healthy Brownies, Organic Food, and the Shifting of Money for Healthier Foods
In my opinion, this repeat episode is one of the best of the entire first season. It was full of the kind of information that smart consumers of healthy food are looking for on TheDoctorsTV shows and in the real world where a buck needs to go further and keep the family healthier these days!
The healthy Rocco DiSpirito Brownie is a favorite for those searching online for suitable alternatives to the high calorie, low nutrient desserts and snacks that have made people fat and sassy. You really don’t have to compromise these days. You can have your favorites and make them healthy, so there’s no guilt and no fear. Gone are the days when you had no choice for Brownies!
Healthy Chocolate Brownies are becoming the brownie of choice for those of us who grew up in 4H and cooking classes in Home Ec in our high schools. I learned how to combine sugar, white flour, and butter with a little processed cocoa powder to whip up a batch of brownies for the family, but I gave these horrible excuses for snacks up when I quit eating processed foods decades ago. Then I revisited the lovely decadent Brownie when organic ingredients and healthy substitutes became readily available!
The organic real Chocolate Brownie is a true delight. The texture makes you eager to bite into, trembling with anticipation to enjoy the soft walnuts blended on top with the smooth creamy chocolate frosting. Oh, yeah…that’s the way to live in the bliss of brownie heaven! I was willing to fork out more than two dollars for an individually-wrapped carob brownie at the local health food store until I could get the raw ingredients to bake my own! Whether you choose organic raw cacao powder or carob powder now, you can be sure to please the taste buds that are in charge of sweetness to please the oldest and most cherished memories of real Brownies. I’ll take two, please!
Rocco DiSpirito showed the audience that even Dr. Travis can enjoy his birthday with a healthy Brownie with the flour and sugar replaced by black beans. Smart and healthy while still being brownie…ish! You can find the recipe in his book. There’s a simpler way to enjoy healthy brownies. You can get an organic brownie mix at the health food store, save money, and bake them in your own kitchen.
If you love the idea of chocolate Brownies, but you want a raw foods natural approach to a healthier snack or dessert, then try out these Love Street Living Foods that are EVEN BETTER than Rocco’s Brownies or any commercial brownie in the business world of confections.
The segment on Rodale’s Organic Manifesto should continue to shed some light on the advances being made in the movement toward organic food becoming less expensive, more readily available, and more attractive to the home gardener, the local stores, and area restaurants in your neck of the woods. Rodale has come a long way since the good old days. Dr. Jim showed that the organic cereal with raisins is less costly than the common commercial brand. Who knew…we did! The doctors further discussed the shifting of money to fresh whole fruit instead of juice and the good deals you can find by changing a few choices you make while shopping for meats and produce. The suggestion by the Rodale author to shop at your local Farmer’s Markets, grow food in community gardens, and shift your dollars to healthy foods where you can will save you money, bring you joy, and change your Lifestyle in many ways that will contribute to the ‘good life’.
Not eating organic food is much more expensive than spending your money on healthy organic produce and making meals from your garden whenever possible. It matters…
Shop and cook and eat as if your Life depended on it! It does, you know…
