Olive Retreat
Olive Retreat is a top-ranked wellness destination and health retreat dedicated to helping individuals discover what health means to them and applying their newly-discovered health knowledge into the rest of their lives. In that sense Olive guides people to a healthier, more enhanced lifestyle as they dream and define it.Since 1940, over 90,000 synthetic chemicals have been added to our environment and only a small percentage of these have been tested for their health impacts. Many are dangerous in and of themselves (carcinogenic, mutagenic, endocrine disrupters), and yet who knows how they affect us when interacting in the environment and our bodies, including our brains. The unhealthy society we have created in which industrial chemicals are endemic, including increased technological dependency and deteriorating social relationships, is also toxic for many of us, and it's all connected in us.Olive Retreat has developed a method based on modern science and ancient theory to help you become more aware of your choices and options in the modern world, and thereby live more healthily and happily. When we become healthier, our imbalances dissipate. Diseases, allergies, worries, pain, sleep problems, general low energy, obesity, anxiety, depression, etc. If we help them, our bodies and minds are the best experts and pharmacies we have.

INRODUCTION
At Olive Retreat we believe the best possible health results come by filling our bodies with the best possible ingredients, and lots of them. We do it by simply eating awesome food. Yes, food - cooked in amazing and nutritious ways. In addition to being as nutritious as possible, our meals also look appetizing and taste amazing. They have been referred to as art
for all they appear and contain, and we appreciate and strive for that. 100% of the food we cook is plant-based, gluten free, sugar free, dairy free and meat free. We source as much as we can locally and organically, and all dishes and meals are put together to give clients the most nutrition, goodness and great taste as possible!
Maximum Plant-Based Satisfaction
This cookbook is a great way to get started on the right plant-based path for those who aren't presently plant-based eaters. One of the most common mistakes people make when first becoming plant-based eaters is to simply remove the meat or fish, leaving very innutritious meals behind. The second most common mistake is to substitute meat or fish with packaged food like veggie burgers. Packaged foods are often highly processed and left with little if any nutrition. To become a plant-based eater you must rethink things a bit and learn more, which we do in this frickn' cookbook.
The Detox Deception
Many people come to our Olive Retreats wanting to detox, but don't realize that a week's detox will never do as much for them as the daily detox of just eating healthily. Consuming organic, clean, non-refined natural food, and mostly vegetables every day, is hugely better than one isolated detox event now and then.
That's all for now. Enjoy the recipes!
BREAKFASTS
Frickn' Protien Loaf (makes 2 loaves)
DRY Ingredients
-200 grams of Quinoa or Millet flour
-100 grams of Buckwheat flour
-100 grams whole grain Rice flour
-50 grams of Raisins
-100 grams of Nuts (Almonds, Walnuts, Hazelnuts)
-1tbs Bicarbonate of Soda
WET Ingredients
-500-700 grams of Water
-50 grams of Linseeds
-2tbs of Salt
-1-2 grated Banana, Apple or Carrot
This is the most forgiving and easy bread to make. Calculate 15 minutes to mix the ingredients for the dough. The only thing to keep in mind is to add approximately 1tsp of bicarbonate, 1tsp of salt, and 1 sweet fruit for every 5dl of flour, so make as much as you want. It can be easily frozen. The sugar in the fruit and the salt activates the bicarbonate that raises the bread. The more compact the flour you use the more salt, bicarbonate and sugar (fruit) you need for the bread to raise. If you are on a candida diet, use carrots instead of fruit. We always use carrots.
Keep in mind also to freeze all the old
bananas and other fruit you don't get around to eating, because you can use them for this bread or as sweeteners in healthy desserts. When fruit turns old it produces more fructose (the sugar in fruit) and that’s why it becomes sweeter with time. But as we have learned the hard way, don't forget to peel the fruit before freezing!
PROCESS:
Mix all the dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls, to be sure each is well mixed. Then mix the two together until you get the consistency of a sticky porridge. You can add more water to get the right consistency if it's not sticky at first, but don't let it get runny. Flours tend to be different in different countries, so bear this in mind. If your mixture is too dry add more water.
-Place the porridge-like dough in bread trays. Put pumpkin, sesame or other seeds on top if you want, and tap them down a little so they stick to the surface.
-Bake for 40-60 minutes on 160C, depending on how sticky the mixture is.
