SHA Wellness Clinic Share How Vegetable Replace Sugar. In the 1950s, the average annual per capita sugar consumption was about 5 pounds…today, it is 158 pounds. World-renowned SHA Wellness Clinic, located in Alicante, Spain, is determined to spread awareness about this alarming trend, and to demonstrate how simple it is to reverse.
All cuisine at SHA Wellness Clinic is macrobiotic–which means that it contains no dairy, meat, or refined flours, and absolutely no refined sugar. However, the food, contrary to what skeptics may think, is delicious and satisfying (yes, even for those who are carnivores or have a strong sweet tooth). One secret to this culinary success is in such innovative recipes as the one below, from the Shamadi restaurant of SHA:
Red Plum and Beet Ice Cream
½ cup oat milk
1 teaspoon agar
½ beet
3 red plums
1 cup raspberries
3 ½ tablespoons white almond paste
¾ cup agave syrup
Combine the oat milk and agar in a pot and bring to boil for two minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Peel and boil the beets in a separate pot for two minutes, then drain. Slice the red plums in half and remove the pits. Combine all the ingredients, including the raspberries, white almond paste and agave syrup, and blend in a blender for four minutes.
