Refreshing Carrot Juice
The juice and zest from the clementines and lemon turn carrots into a balanced refreshing juice you will enjoy quaffing at any time.
Ingredients:
- A big pile of of carrots
- 1-2 small apples
- 1-2 small whole clementines (or similar)
- 1 lemon partially peeled
Simply juice them all together.
Silky Carrot Juice
This beautiful juice doesn’t taste strongly of parsnips but they contribute a silky and slightly nutty richness to the juice. It’s a lovely drink and seems gently restorative if you are feeling tired or under the weather.
Ingredients:
- I large parsnip
- 8 large carrots
- 1 large comice pear
Juice and enjoy as fresh as possible.
Special Carrot Juice
This carrot juice is a lovely drink at any time of day and try it as an alternative to milk in muesli or porridge. As ever carrot juice is the best shade of orange juice can be and of course seriously rich in nutrients. The subtle hint of pineapple and ginger turns it into something very special.
Ingredients:
- Loads of carrots (you can include the stalks)
- A small to medium amount apples
- A small amount of pineapple
- A peeled or partially peeled lemon
- A good lump of fresh ginger
Juice and enjoy.
Better Beetroot Juice
This is so good you can serve it as an aperitif.
Not everyone loves beetroot juice but this can help give you a taste for it. To make beetroot juice irresistible to even confirmed beetroot-haters, start with white, orange or striped beetroot as they are less intensely beetroot-y but still have lots of beetroot goodness. it’s a great way to get used to beetroot and for those who already love beetroot this makes it even better.
This is smooth, rich, bright, fruity, fragrant, earthy and wonderfully smooth.I always hated beetroot as a child but now I LOVE beetroot juice!
If you don’t have all the ingredients just use the ones you do have. Increase the ingredients you like and if you are getting a cold up the ginger – it works wonders.
Ingredients
- Lots of raw unpeeled beetroot (traditional red, striped, white or orange) if they still have the stalks and leaves be sure to include them.
- A small amount of whole apples
- A similar amount oranges or mandarins – peeled or partially peeled
- Some carrots
- A small amount of parsnip
- About the same or a tad more of Florence (bulb) fennel
- And about half as much whole ginger root
- A similar amount peeled or partially lemon
Juice it all together and enjoy – don’t forget to share it.
Use fresh juices for flavouring muesli
I make really flavoursome fresh juices with lemons – which I usually peel – and satsumas which are organic so I don’t peel: the peel adds lots of extra flavour. And I always use loads of fresh ginger. I add some of this to the Budwig muesli. If I put a lot of carrot in the juice it gives the muesli an interesting sweetness and good colour – and the juice of purple carrots looks like beetroot juice but tastes better in breakfast.

Christmas Salad with Budwig Mayonnaise
This is really a sort of rough coleslaw made with Brussels Sprouts – as they are in season it’s a pity not to use them.
Ingredients
- A good small portion of raw Brussels Sprouts
A smaller portion of each of the following ingredients,
- Leek
- Celery
- Onion
- Apple
- Carrot.
Mayonnaise ingredients
- Quark
- Cold-pressed linseed oil
- Mustard
- Garlic
- Lemon juice/apple cider vinegar
- Dill pickles
Topping
Chopped Walnuts
Method
Finely sliced or grate all vegetables and place in a bowl.
Next make the Budwig mayonnaise from a portion of linseed oil quark cream by adding a dollop of your favourite seedy mustard, a crushed clove of garlic, a tablespoon chopped mini dill pickled cucumbers, a good squeeze of lemon juice/ACV and enough fruit juice for taste (apple, parsnip and carrot is nice) and to make a soft mayonnaise consistency.
Then stir the mayonnaise into the salad and top with chopped herbs, walnuts and/or colourful fruit – pomegranate looks brilliant and is in season.
Top with chopped Walnuts
Budwig Breakfast Muesli with Grapefruit and Raspberries
This muesli was so good this morning it was like having pudding for breakfast.
I diced half a grapefruit and added freshly ground bronze linseed meal. Then made the Budwig cream to which I added a few drops vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon and a teaspoon of raw honey; dolloped that on the top of the grapefruit and linseed meal and topped the whole thing with some defrosted home-grown raspberries (they are self-seeded and grow like weeds) and pinenuts. Use this for breakfast or lunchtime pudding.
Thank you Dr Budwig… 🙂

Natural News: Flaxseed (Linseed), Hormones and Cancer
Flax or linseed is well-known for its benefits for the digestion and in helping prevent type-2 diabetes – but there is a lot of modern research to show it can be of benefit in helping to prevent or slow down the spread of hormone-linked cancers in both men and women.
Research data compiled by Sayer Ji at GreenMedInfo.com shows the harmful effects caused by oestrogen that can result in growth and spread of cancer can be modulated by flax (linseed).
This helps to make sense of the advice of Dr Johanna Budwig and the benefits of ground linseed in the Budwig diet even though a lot of oncologists tend to lump phytoestrogens with all all other oestrogens. However Ji states “It helps to understand the biochemistry in order to make sense of how a plant estrogen may actually reduce estrogen activity in the body.”
Other studies quoted look at how linseed / flax can be of benefit to men in reducing tumour markers and reducing the proliferation of cancer cells related to prostate cancers.
