The post These Fruits Can Help Boost Your Protein Intake appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

It may come as a shock to you, but different fruits contain protein. They are great sources of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, natural sugars, a bit of fat, and even some protein. An apple, for example, does not offer the same amount of protein as a piece of salmon, but it comes with a diverse mix of micro and macronutrients. 

Protein is having a moment, to say the least. This is partially due to the popularity of the carnivore, Paleo, keto, and other high-protein diets. We aren’t here to talk about those diets, though, as many of them discourage the consumption of fruit. That’s because fruits contain carbs and less sugar than animal-based foods. An egg, for example, has about six grams of protein, whereas fruit may only offer a couple grams per cup. 

If you are trying to up your protein intake and diversify your fruit consumption, the fruits in this article may come to your aid. Whole fruits offer key nutrients that support other aspects of total bodily health, so don’t neglect them. They are relatively low in calories and high in water and fiber, two things that benefit gastrointestinal health. So if you are looking to snack healthily and get a little protein in the process, consider the fruits listed below.

Passion Fruit

Passion fruit is a lovely tropical fruit that grows on a vine. The fiber content in one cup of passion fruit is very high, exhibiting a whopping 24.5 grams, which is nearly 88% of the daily value (DV). Fiber works to regulate digestion and promote healthy cholesterol levels. The same cup of passion fruit provides five grams of protein.

Blackberries

One of the great things about blackberries is that they are very high in antioxidant compounds. They also happen to be the berry with the highest amount of protein, exhibiting about two grams per cup. Blackberries are low in calories, rich in fiber, and high in anthocyanin, a phytonutrient that has demonstrated abilities to influence immune function and improve gut microbiome

Avocado

Although avocado seems like a vegetable, it is actually a fruit of the savory variety. Avocados offer three grams of protein per cup, in addition to lots of healthy fats that help you feel full. You can enjoy avocado with a spoon and some sea salt, transform it into guacamole, or add it on toast. Just keep in mind that avocados have more calories than other fruits, with one cup of avocado containing 234 calories. 

Kiwi

Didn’t think a kiwi would have protein did you? Well, one cup of kiwi has nearly two grams of protein, which is not bad! Kiwi is also naturally rich in vitamin C, offering about 167 milligrams per cup. That amount is nearly double the DV of vitamin C! Several studies also found that kiwis work to improve digestion and promote bowel regularity, which researchers attribute to their fiber content. 

Guava

Yet another vitamin C superstar, guava is a tropical fruit that offers a lot of protein, especially for its size. One cup of guava has a little over four grams of protein and nine grams of fiber, which is about one-third of the DV. Research continues to find that increasing your fiber intake can reduce blood pressure and promote healthy cholesterol levels, especially in people with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome. 

Apricot

Unlike other fruits, apricots are not typically available year-round, but you can find them in dried form at all times. They typically show up in grocery stores or at farmer’s markets in late spring and summer. Each half-cup of dried apricot halves contains a little over two grams of protein. Dried apricots do not have water, so they are more calorically dense than fresh versions. That same half-cup, then, has about 157 calories, so just keep that in mind when snacking on dried apricots. 

Jackfruit

We are rounding out this article with the largest fruit on the list, the mighty jackfruit. Exhibiting a stringy texture, jackfruit is a common meat substitute for plant-based eaters. If you are swapping jackfruit for chicken, though, keep in mind that one cup of jackfruit offers three grams of protein compared to the 35 grams you’d get from chicken. Because it is not very sweet, it takes on whichever seasonings or flavors you cook with it, but you can enjoy it raw if you like.

No Churn Almond Butter Ice Cream https://www.dherbs.com/recipes/recipe/no-churn-almond-butter-ice-cream/ Fri, 04 Apr 2025 17:29:28 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?post_type=recipe&p=175579

Are you ready for the creamiest raw vegan ice cream you'll ever taste? Enjoy this no churn almond butter dessert guilt-free!

You don’t have to go out and buy an ice cream machine or churner in order to enjoy homemade ice cream. As long as you have a blender or food processor and a freezer-safe container, you can enjoy a guilt-free dessert such as this recipe. Sure, peanut butter and chocolate ice cream is highly popular, but not everyone is a fan. Some people are also allergic to peanuts, so having an almond butter ice cream is the next best (and safest) option, provided there are no additional nut allergies.

A nut butter ice cream is such a simple concept, but packs a lot of flavor. Nut butters are naturally creamy and thick, so they help make the raw vegan ice cream a little creamier, acting similarly to frozen bananas. The dates in this recipe also help thicken the ice cream, but make sure that you soak them for one to two hours prior to blending them with the rest of the ingredients. The soaking process helps soften them, making the job a little easier on your blender. If you plan to use a food processor or have a VitaMix, you don’t have to soak your dates for longer than 15-30 minutes.

The almond butter primarily flavors this ice cream, and the flavor may change depending on the almond butter you use. Your choices are limited for almond butter since you have to use raw almond butter while cleansing. That said, different brands typically taste different. No matter which raw almond butter you use, one thing is for certain: this raw ice cream is absolutely delicious and creamy. We hope you love it as much as we do. How could you not? It’s a great source of healthy fats, protein, omega-3s, magnesium, and other vitamins and minerals.

Here we go again with the creativity! This isn’t a plane Jane pesto, people. We have to change it up and keep you on your toes so that your taste buds remain interested in raw vegan foods. Varying your ingredients and straying from the well-traveled path is a great way to enjoy new flavors and reap the benefits of different plant compounds. Because we live in a society that regularly wastes edible parts of fruits and vegetables, we wanted to provide a unique way to use celery leaves, which most people discard without hesitation.

Next time you have a bunch of celery with beautiful leaves, turn those leaves into a pesto. While you can incorporate them into salads, it is much easier and quicker to transform them into a pesto sauce. From a nutritional standpoint, celery leaves are rich in the following vitamins and minerals:

  • Vitamin A
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin K
  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
  • Potassium
  • Fiber
  • Beta-carotene

Celery leaves may help enhance immune function due to the presence of vitamins A and C. Both of these vitamins work to protect the body against infections, while simultaneously enhancing skin health. The calcium and magnesium in celery leaves are essential for maintaining strong bones and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Because celery leaves contain antioxidants and chlorophyll, they aids the body’s natural detoxification processes. In fact, they may aid the body with toxin elimination.

The post Hydrating With Alkaline Water? Here Are 4 Potential Benefits appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

It seems that you cannot wander down the bottled water aisle at a supermarket or grocery store without encountering several forms of alkaline water. Not to mention, there are various types of spring water, mineral water, sparkling water, distilled water, and classic filtered water. You may even find some volcanic water, but that isn’t at your average store. One thing is for certain, though, and it is that alkaline water and filtered water are different prices. Is there truly a difference between alkaline water and regular H2O, though? 

What Is Alkaline?

Let’s remove water from the equation for one moment to get a better understanding of alkalinity. Scientists use the pH scale, which goes from 0 – 14 to measure alkaline and acid substances. If something has a pH lower than 7, it is acidic. If something has a pH higher than 7, it is alkaline, or basic. Most tap water has a pH of about 7.5, whereas bottled water is typically closer to 7.0. 

Alkaline water usually ranges between 8.0 and 9.0, but it can be higher. There are beneficial nutrients you can reap if you drink alkaline water, but dietitians are a bit skeptical of the alkaline water trend. Is alkaline water truly worth it

Nutrition Facts

To give you a better idea of the nutrients in alkaline water, here is the general nutritional information for an eight-ounce bottle of alkaline water:

  • Calories: 0
  • Total fat: 0
  • Trans fat: 0
  • Protein: 0
  • Cholesterol: 0
  • Carbohydrates: 0
  • Fiber: 0
  • Sodium: 4.8 milligrams (mg)
  • Total sugars: 0
  • Added sugars: 0
  • Magnesium: 4.8 mg
  • Calcium: 24 mg
  • Copper: 0.017 mg

Natural alkaline water, or spring water, that runs over rocks will pick up minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and calcium carbonate. Those minerals raise the water’s pH, creating alkaline water. Those minerals are necessary for many bodily functions, including those related to your heart, brain, muscles, and bones. 

Experts state that there are two types of alkaline water: natural from springs and chemically processed. Most bottled alkaline water that you can buy in stores is typically the former. The natural alkaline water is collected and then bottled, but the processed version goes through an ionizer, which uses electricity to add hydrogen to the water in order to yield a higher pH. Continue reading to learn about some of the potential health benefits of drinking alkaline water. 

May Prevent Bone Loss

The older you get, the more you have to worry about bone less, considering that osteoporosis affects about one in five women, and one in 20 men, over the age of 50. Osteoporosis can make bones brittle and more prone to fracture, especially in postmenopausal women. The body needs to maintain a blood pH between 7.35 and 7.45, and one way it does this is by releasing calcium into the bloodstream. That leaves less calcium for your bones. One way to replenish this calcium is by consuming calcium-rich foods, including alkaline water. In a study of 100 postmenopausal women who drank alkaline water daily for three months while taking calcium supplements. Researchers observed that, when combined with calcium supplementation, alkaline water provided some improvements in bone loss. 

May Aid Hydration Efforts

Drinking any kind of water is beneficial for everyone, regardless of athletic ability. Water is necessary to live! Athletes who fail to hydrate properly can experience muscle cramps, reduced coordination, and decreased athletic performance. In one small study, 12 male university students drank natural alkaline water for three days before intense physical activity. The results indicated that they were better hydrated than those who drank tap water. Some people consume more water if it is alkaline, and there is nothing wrong with drinking more water. Researchers agree that people should drink alkaline water if it increases your water intake. More research is necessary to determine if it hydrates more effectively than regular filtered water, though. 

May Offer Cancer Protection

Make sure to take this claim with the tiniest grain of salt. According to some studies, cancer cannot grow in alkaline environments. That has begged the question of whether or not an alkaline diet, which includes alkaline water, can make the body an uninhabitable environment for cancer. Unfortunately, the biggest problem with this theory is that alkaline water alone cannot change your blood’s pH. Drinking alkaline water, while a great way to hydrate, is unlikely to affect cancer cells. For this reason, more research is necessary to support this claim. Currently, research and medical professionals concur that food and water cannot change the body’s pH levels because it is a highly regulated system.

May Combat Acid Reflux

Alkaline substances can neutralize acid, so drinking alkaline water may combat symptoms of high acidity in the stomach, but not for long. Research shows that the contents of the stomach are very acidic. Consuming a product that helps reduce that acidity may provide temporary relief. In fact, it will only last for a short while, for example, a few minutes at best. Alkaline water may be dangerous when consumed with certain medications, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). For this reason, consult your healthcare professional before you combine alkaline water with any medications. 

Alkaline water has grown in popularity, but it is not a cure for various health conditions. More research is still necessary to prove that alkaline water exhibits the potential health benefits listed in this article. Just remember to stay hydrated, with alkaline or filtered water, if you want to keep the body as healthy as possible.

The post From Farm To Table: The Real Impact Of Whole Foods On Your Body appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

In today’s fast-paced society, many of us have grown accustomed to quick fixes and processed meals. Yet, our bodies are finely tuned to thrive on nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods—the very essence of what nature provides. When we shift our focus from calorie counting and packaged diets to the rich, vibrant world of whole foods, we discover that what we eat is more than just fuel. It’s a dynamic conversation between the earth and our bodies, one that has profound effects on our overall health.

The Living Nutrient Network

Whole foods are not merely a collection of vitamins and minerals; rather, they are a living network of natural compounds that work together in harmony to support our well-being. Unlike processed foods that isolate and strip away many of these vital elements, whole foods retain enzymes, fiber, antioxidants, and phytonutrients that contribute to our body’s ability to heal and regenerate.

Consider the natural integrity of a fresh apple plucked straight from an orchard. Beyond its juicy sweetness lies a complex matrix of nutrients that interact synergistically to aid digestion, support the immune system, and promote cellular repair. This intricate interplay is something modern food production often overlooks, yet it’s precisely this cooperation that can unlock a level of health many of us have never experienced before.

Soil, Sunlight, and Sustenance: The Farm-To-Table Connection

What you consume begins long before it reaches your plate. The health of your food is inextricably linked to the vitality of the soil, the quality of the water, and the care with which it is cultivated. When you embrace a farm-to-table approach, you’re not just choosing fresh produce; you’re reconnecting with the source of life itself.

Local farms that practice organic and sustainable methods work to preserve the natural ecosystem. The result is produce that is richer in natural nutrients, harvested at the peak of its flavor and nutritional potential. This direct connection from soil to plate not only enhances the taste of your food but also ensures that you receive the maximum health benefits—a concept that challenges the conventional reliance on supermarket shelves filled with long-transported, nutritionally diminished goods.

A Nutrient Symphony: Beyond Isolated Vitamins

For years, nutritional science focused on individual vitamins and minerals, often in isolation. However, emerging research suggests that the real power of nutrition lies in the synergy of compounds found in whole foods. These foods deliver a full spectrum of nutrients in their natural form, creating a “nutrient symphony” that supports optimal bodily functions.

For instance, the fiber in whole grains isn’t just important for digestion; it also works in tandem with antioxidants and phytochemicals to lower inflammation and enhance the absorption of other nutrients. This holistic interaction within whole foods can offer benefits that isolated supplements simply can’t match. It’s a revelation that reminds us: when we eat in harmony with nature, we’re not just surviving—we’re thriving.

Reconnecting With Nature: The Farm-To-Table Advantage

Embracing a farm-to-table lifestyle means more than just choosing organic produce. It represents a commitment to a healthier, more balanced way of living. Local, seasonal foods bring with them the vibrancy and diversity of the natural world, which, in turn, fuels our bodies with energy and vitality.

Imagine a community where farmers, chefs, and consumers are all connected by a shared commitment to healthy, sustainable eating. Each bite becomes a testament to the care taken from the moment the seed was planted until it was harvested and served. This approach does more than nourish your body; it nurtures the local economy, preserves the environment, and strengthens the bond between you and the food you eat. In doing so, you’re not just choosing a meal—you’re embracing a philosophy that honors the natural cycles of life.

How Whole Foods Transform Your Body

The impact of whole foods on the body is both subtle and profound. When you switch from processed options to a diet rich in whole foods, several beneficial changes can occur:

  • Enhanced Digestion: The natural fiber and enzymes in whole foods aid in the efficient breakdown and absorption of nutrients. This improves digestion and can alleviate common issues like bloating and constipation.
  • Balanced Energy Levels: Whole foods release energy more slowly and steadily than processed foods, so you don’t experience the classic spikes and crashes that typically result from eating processed foods. This balanced energy helps maintain focus and sustains physical activity throughout the day.
  • Reduced Inflammation: The antioxidants and phytonutrients present in whole foods work to combat inflammation, a common underlying factor in many chronic health conditions.
  • Boosted Immunity: By providing a wide array of natural nutrients, whole foods strengthen the immune system, making your body more resilient to infections and illnesses.
  • Optimized Metabolism: The nutrient-rich profile of whole foods supports efficient metabolic processes, helping your body convert food into energy effectively.

These benefits reveal that healthy eating is not merely about weight management or calorie restriction—it’s about restoring and maintaining the natural harmony within your body.

Embracing a New Perspective on Healthy Eating

The shift towards whole foods and farm-to-table practices invites us to reimagine our relationship with food. It challenges us to look beyond the superficial promises of quick fixes and instead invest in a lifestyle that nurtures our body at its most fundamental level.

This perspective offers a liberating insight: by aligning your diet with nature’s rhythms, you empower your body to tap into its innate ability to heal, regenerate, and perform at its best. The transformation is gradual yet profound—over time, you begin to feel more energized, mentally clear, and physically resilient. It’s a subtle change that, once noticed, becomes unmistakable, inviting you to further explore the deep connection between what you eat and how you feel.

Embracing the Full Spectrum of Natural Nutrition

In a world dominated by synthetic supplements and processed alternatives, whole foods remind us that nature provides the most complete nourishment. Every bite of farm-fresh produce is an opportunity to reconnect with the earth, to experience the full spectrum of natural nutrients that have evolved over millennia to support life.

By choosing whole foods, you are opting for a way of eating that respects the complexity and intelligence of nature. It’s a decision that goes beyond diet—it’s a commitment to a lifestyle that values authenticity, sustainability, and true health. Dherbs stands by this philosophy, offering products and guidance that complement a diet rich in natural, unprocessed foods, thereby supporting a holistic approach to well-being.

Final Reflections

When you truly consider the journey of food—from the fertile soil to your table—you begin to appreciate the remarkable impact that whole, natural foods can have on your body. This isn’t just a nostalgic return to simpler times; it’s a forward-thinking approach to health that leverages the timeless wisdom of nature. Embracing a farm-to-table lifestyle means investing in your body’s natural ability to heal and flourish—a realization that redefines what it means to eat well.

Step into this renewed perspective on healthy eating. Allow yourself to experience the transformative power of whole foods and reconnect with the natural world. In doing so, you’re not just consuming food; you’re nourishing your body, mind, and spirit with the pure, unadulterated gifts of nature.

It’s time that we take a break from avocado chocolate pudding because we have posted a handful of those recipes. This recipe, which is also raw vegan, requires five minutes of your time, a blender or food processor, and the ingredients. It is a decadent dessert that is the perfect balance of bitter and sweet, due to the raw cacao powder and maple syrup combo. It’s just beautiful that you can satisfy your craving for chocolate while cleansing. If we can provide that type of freedom for you, we will!

Chocolate in the form of a rich chocolate pudding is something to smile about. It isn’t as rich as fudge and you don’t have to feel guilty about eating it. This pudding is far from the unhealthy processed ingredients that you find in chocolate bars. It is also unlike other pudding recipes, which typically require cooking and simmering on the stove. That doesn’t work when you want chocolate and you want it now! This takes the elongated cook time out of the equation, so you only have to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Cashews, as you probably know, are quite amazing. They provide healthy fats, fiber, protein, minerals, and vitamins, but they also make a great base for puddings. If you want an easier time blending them, consider soaking them in water for about two hours before you make this recipe. Just make sure to discard the soaking liquid prior to blending everything together. Finally, make sure to top your pudding with things you like to eat, so long as they are cleanse-approved. Consider topping the pudding with raw nuts or fresh berries!

Is there any better way to start your morning than by drinking a smoothie? Well, if you woke up and immediately got a massage and then enjoyed your dream meal from a private chef, that would probably beat out a smoothie. Unfortunately, we can’t all wake up like that, but we can wake up and blitz a few ingredients together in a blender, right? Yes we can and yes we will! Smoothie combinations are endless and different ingredients offer unique nutrients.

Beets, for example, make great smoothie additions because they contain iron, folate, manganese, copper, magnesium, potassium, vitamins C & B6, fiber, and antioxidants. Researchers have studied beets for their ability to decrease elevated blood pressure levels, a major risk factor for heart disease. Although beetroot juice may lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the lowering effect appears great for systolic blood pressure. Raw beets also exhibit a stronger effect than cooked beets. Researchers attribute this ability to the high concentration of nitrites, which the body converts to nitric oxide, a molecule that dilates blood vessels and causes blood pressure levels to decline.

Beets contain antioxidant compounds, but so do blueberries. Blueberries also have a low glycemic index, making them a great choice for diabetics and keto enthusiasts. They add a touch of sweetness, but so does the banana and agave nectar. You need that sweetness to balance the earthy bet flavor. Blend all of the ingredients together until you reach your desired consistency. Feel free to make a larger batch in case more people want to start their day off with this smoothie.

Smoothies are truly the best. They are cooling, easy to make, and provide you with tons of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, protein, and more in one fell swoop. You have to change up your smoothie ingredients in order to diversify your nutrient intake. Incorporate colorful fruits and vegetables, as all of those vibrant colors offer unique antioxidants. This antioxidant-rich beet mango smoothie, for example, has many colors in the rainbow. If you’ve learned anything from us over the years, it’s that we support eating the rainbow, just not Skittles.

To make this smoothie, you begin with mango, which offers a sweet, creamy, tropical base. Add in frozen raspberries for a subtly tart flavor, more antioxidants, and fiber. Next, add chopped beet, but make sure to peel it because that will help reduce the earthy flavor. Beets provide unique antioxidants, which give them their signature dark red color. They also contain folate and nitrites, which the body converts to nitric oxide. In the body, nitric oxide helps to relax blood vessels, increase oxygen and nutrient delivery, and improve muscle efficiency.

The remaining ingredients are carrots and spinach, which we classify as the hidden vegetables in this smoothie. Carrots actually provide a pleasant sweetness and the spinach goes unnoticed, as it does not have a strong flavor. You’ll add fresh lime juice, ginger, and mint to really brighten up the flavor of the whole smoothie. Just blend it up until it reaches your desired consistency and then enjoy!

The post 7 Recipes To Boost Immunity This Fall appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

We are in the thick of cold and flu season, people! For this reason it is integral to enhance immune function, which is why we are providing you with some nutrient-dense recipes in this article. The unfortunate reality is that there is no magic pill or silver bullet that magically transforms the immune system into a forcefield that protects the body from everything. And the sad reality is that most immune-boosting recommendations seem boring. Hopefully, the recipes in this article are anything but boring to your taste buds!

Why Is The Immune System So Important?

In brief, the immune system protects the body from harmful substances, including germs, bacteria, fungi, and pathogens. As long as it is running smoothly, you don’t even notice the immune system’s existence. If it stops working properly, either because of aggressive germs or general weakness, you will get sick. Some germs may only make you ill the first time you encounter them, while others may cause sickness time and again. When the immune system is working properly, it:

  • Activates and mobilizes to neutralize germs that can harm the body
  • Ends the attack once the threat has been taken care of
  • Distinguishes between cells that are yours and those that do not belong in the body
  • Learns about germs after you have come in contact with them, and develops antibodies against them
  • Sends out those antibodies to destroy germs that attempt to enter the body in the future

You can improve sleep hygiene, exercise regularly, spend time outside, and eat healthy foods to maintain healthy immune function. Rather than just giving you a list of foods to eat, we are providing you with tasty recipes that may contribute to more efficient immune function.

If ever there was a recipe that was focused on green ingredients, it’s this one. All but two of the ingredients are green, and the ones that are not exhibit some impressive health benefits. Before we get into the ingredients, let us first cover what wellness shots are. Wellness shots are essentially concentrated juices made from nutritious ingredients. You may have seen turmeric ginger immunity shots in health food grocery stores. You know…those little tiny bottles with orange-yellow liquid inside them? Think of these wellness shots as their green counterparts.

Why should you make your own wellness shots? As with any homemade item, you have full control of the ingredients. For these wellness shots, you can always switch up the ingredients based on the nutrients you want in them. Perhaps you would enjoy beets, carrots, apples, and ginger, or oranges, lemon, turmeric, and persimmons. The possibilities are endless, and you can use the natural sugars in the fruits you use as sweeteners. There is no need for added sugars, preservatives, or anything else that will help maintain shelf life.

The ingredients in these green wellness shots were selected based on their nutritional profiles. These ingredients contain a mix of essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, digestive enzymes, water, and an array of antioxidant compounds. Both celery and cucumber are rich in water, which work to aid your hydration efforts. Finally, almost every single ingredient in these wellness shots boosts the immune system in one way or another. Drink one of these to start your day!
