Can I use Bragg liquid aminos in Phase 3? What about Phase 2?
Hi Sandy and I apologize for the delay – we were having technical problems with the blog and they just got it fixed! Yes, Bragg’s liquid aminos can be used in each phase and are used extensively in my recipes. Best of luck!
Tammy,
I am in P3 and making spinach smoothies for breakfast. I am a little confused over the issue of milk. Can I substitute almond milk for non-fat milk? Almond milk has 0 grams of sugar, but contains tapioca starch. non-fat milk as 12g of sugar in 1C serving… which is better for P3?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Will you be posting anymore recipes for P3? My husband and I scarfed down the Almond Chicken two nights ago… incredibly delicious!
Hi Susan!
The amount of milk allowed officially by Dr. S is 1 Tablespoon so it really doesn’t make a big difference in a smoothie. Almond milk won’t work until Maintenance unless you can find one that has no starch in it or you could make your own! Dairy products on P3 should actually be full fat because non-fat varieties are full of sugar. You could try a little probiotic rich Greek yogurt in your P3 smoothies as a substitute for milk. I actually make egg white protein shakes with frozen fruit, yogurt, vanilla stevia, and water. Delicious! Hope that helps you š
I do need to post some more P3 recipes. Thanks for the reminder! I’m also working on a full length P3 cookbook so I’ll keep you posted when its available!
