So you can imagine the state that I got into when I saw how much great tasting food we were not allowed during a Candida diet.
Looking at some Candida diet recipes sure didn't ease my mind any either. Most of them were using ingredients that I'd never heard of and I was pretty sure that even if I could find them they would be well out of my price range!
The best that most of the simple Candida diet recipes could do were elaborate pumpkin soups, leek and broccoli casserole or celery and cottage cheese snacks.
With no other option I sat down to see how I could feed myself without blowing the budget or taking too much time. By looking at the foods that we were allowed I managed to put together a really easy eating plan.
Breakfast Time Candida Diet Recipes
- Either scrambled eggs (made with water instead of milk) or
- Rolled oat porridge made with water and topped with natural yogurt and cinnamon. If you want to be a bit daring, add some grated apple and/or berries to the mix.
Candida Diet Recipes for Lunch and Dinner
Make a big batch of both and keep them in the fridge. What you don't have for dinner, have for lunch.
Salad
Salads are grossly undervalued as they are one of the cheapest and easiest Candida diet recipes.
- Tear up half a lettuce, chop up a couple of peppers - any color - add a cucumber and an avocado or two and you have the start of a delicious healthy meal.
- Each time you serve them up vary the flavor by adding a different meat to the mix and seasoning accordingly. For example; when I have a chicken salad, I like to top the salad with cottage cheese and drizzle lemon juice over the lot. For tuna I usually just use lemon juice and for lamb I do a yogurt dressing.
Vegetable Stir Fry
- Start with your basic oil, garlic, ginger and onion.
- Stir fry until the onion is clear.
- Then add your slower cooking veges like broccoli and cauliflower.
- Next add your celery and zucchini type veges.
- Top it all off with a couple of your leafy greens.
- Have it on its own with different flavors or use it as a base for your meats and alter the seasoning to suit.
Dessert Candida Diet Recipes
Sweets are really hard during the elimination phase - so if you absolutely must have dessert, but don’t want to go to a lot of effort and expense, you are really limited to;
Natural unsweetened yogurt with;
- cinnamon or allspice;
- berries;
- rolled oats or other soft whole grains.
- A mix of all three is really yummy!
Snacking Candida Diet Recipes
Grab a large rice wafer and cover with your choice of;
- Cottage cheese and cinnamon or chives
- Tuna
- Hummus
- Use hummus, cottage cheese and yogurt as dips for small rice crackers and raw vegetables.
- Stock boiled eggs in the fridge and get one when hunger hits.
- A handful of nuts and seeds mixed together will do wonders for any nagging hunger pangs or munchies.
