I’ve been using Vega Antioxidant EFA (essential fatty acids) Oil Blend in my home-made salad dressings for a year now and there is no going back.
I hesitated when I first bought my bottle because it was substantially more expensive than the other types of essential oil I used to buy, but I decided the amazing daily health benefits of this incredible mixture of essential oils was too appealing to pass up.
>>> Here’s the list of essential oils in each bottle of Vega Antioxidant EFA Oil Blend:
* Green tea seed oil
* Pomegranate seed oil
* Black cumin seed oil
* Black raspberry oil
* Blueberry seed oil
* Cranberry seed oil
* Hemp seed oil
* Flax seed oil
* Pumpkin seed oil
* Coconut oil
A lot of people associate oils with the obesity problem in many Western countries, but that’s not quite accurate. The problem is not that people are eating oils/fats, it’s that they are eating the wrong kinds of oils/fats. Healthy fat help boost your metabolism, help your body burn fat better and improve the regulation of your entire body. Vega Antioxidant EFA Oil Blend is a balanced, full spectrum, ultra-virgin and ultra-pure oil blend with optimal nutritional properties. Try it in your favourite dishes for a convenient and pleasant-tasting EFA (essential fatty acids) boost.
Since Vega Antioxidant EFA Oil Blend is an essential oil, you should never heat it (or else you will destroy the EFA) but there are still many healthy recipes you can use it in. I got my hands on some of these recipes and I wanted to share them with you!
1) SPICY SUN-DRIED TOMATO PRIMAVERA SAUCE
>>>Ingredients<<<
- ¼ cup Vega Antioxidant EFA Oil Blend
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- ½ green and ½ red pepper, diced
- 6 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup diced mushrooms
- 5 oz can of tomato paste
- ½ cup sundried tomatoes
- ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tsp each – oregano & thyme
- ½ tsp chili flakes
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
>>>Procedure<<<
On medium heat, fry onion in olive oil for 5 minutes. Add garlic and peppers and cook for 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients (except for Vega Antioxidant EFA Oil Blend) and cook for 10-15 minutes until Roma tomatoes are cooked in (add a little water if needed). Remove pan from heat and stir in Vega Antioxidant EFA Oil Blend. Makes about 3 ½ cups.
2) BELL PEPPER HEMP PESTO
This pesto is made with Vega Antioxidant EFA Oil Blend and contains Omega-3 and -6 EFAs (essential fatty acids), Omega-9 and -5 fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, chlorophyll and other phytonutrients — plus a load of other great stuff your body loves.
>>>Ingredients<<<
- ½ cup Vega Antioxidant EFA Oil Blend
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 ½ cups fresh basil
- ½ cup pine nuts
- 4 tbsp hemp seeds
- 2-4 tbsp nutritional yeast
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 2 tbsp sesame seeds
>>>Procedure<<<
In a food processor, blend all ingredients until smooth (except for hemp seeds, which can be added at the end for extra texture). This pesto also tastes great as a pizza sauce, burger topping or even as a dip for crackers and vegetables. Makes 2 ½ cups.
3) MANGO LIME SALAD DRESSING
Supplementing recipes with Vega Antioxidant EFA Oil Blend can help enhance brain and nervous system function, increase energy and performance, reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system. Now that’s a salad dressing worth eating!
>>>Ingredients<<<
- 1⁄3 cup Vega Antioxidant EFA Oil Blend
- 1 mango
- ¼ jalapeño, finely minced
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp lime zest
- 1 tsp agave nectar
>>>Procedure<<<
Combine all ingr
This chunky salsa is bursting with flavour, plus antioxidants, Omega-3 and GLA (which promotes a healthy cardiovascular system and regulates metabolism). And it’s not just for dipping — try it as a crisp, refreshing and tangy salad topping, too.
>>>Ingredients<<<
- 1⁄3 cup Vega Antioxidant EFA Oil Blend
- 1 can Niblets corn
- 1 can black beans
- 1 large tomato or 2 Roma tomatos
- 1 red pepper
- 1 ripe avocado
- ½ cup finely chopped red onion – 1 cup fresh cilantro
- Juice from one lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
>>>Procedure<<<
Finely chop tomato, red pepper, onion and cilantro. Drain excess liquid from canned corn and beans. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. You can serve it right away, but this salsa is best after it sits in the refrigerator for a couple of hours so the flavours can infuse! Serve with corn or rice chips. Makes 4 cups.
