Candida Recipes: Drinks

BreakfastLunch & DinnerSnacksDrinks

Once you cut out the sugary soft drinks, the caffeinated beverages and the fruit juices, what’s left? This is a frequent question from Candida dieters. Fortunately there are lots of options. You should drink plenty of water during your treatment, but there are also various teas, coffee alternatives and juices that won’t make your Candida worse.

Herbal Teas & Coffee

Regular tea and coffee are not allowed on the Candida diet due to their caffeine content. Many people don’t realize that even decaf tea and decaf coffee still contain caffeine! Caffeine can weaken your adrenals and undermine your immune system. I recommend that you start to reduce your consumption of both before you start the diet.

Luckily, there are plenty of options. In fact, I’ve written a post on alternatives to tea and coffee here. Chicory root coffee is a tasty replacement for your morning cup of coffee, and there are many herbal teas to choose from. Teas like dandelion and nettle leaf can support your liver function, while cinnamon tea, camomile tea, peppermint tea, ginger tea and licorice tea all have antifungal properties.

Ginger Tea

This is one of my favorites. It’s great for improving digestion, supports your immune system, and you can drink it as much as you like during your Candida diet.

  • 1 square inch piece of fresh Ginger root
  • Squeeze of lemon
  • 2 cup of water

Cut off and discard the outside of the ginger root. Now grate the rest of the root and add to boiling water. Boil for 20 minutes. Strain and serve with a slice of lemon.

Juices & Smoothies

Juicing is a great way to rebuild your immune system with minerals, vitamins, enzymes and antioxidants. These are all important to get your Candida under control. It’s important to get lots of fiber during the diet, so you might want to blend your juices instead of using your juicer.

Juices are great for cleansing because they require little energy to be used by your digestive system, allowing the body to focus on rebuilding, renewing and healing. We also have a few smoothies in the list if you feel like something a little more filling.

Avocado Cream Smoothie

  • 1 medium avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • Stevia
  • 6 ice cubes

Blend the avocado, Stevia, coconut milk, and ice together until smooth.

Immune Booster Juice

  • Handful of spinach
  • Handful of fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley or basil)
  • 1 celery stalk
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 garlic clove (optional)
  • 2 glasses of water

This a delicious, easy drink to make. Add all ingredients into the blender and voila! For a little variety, try it with some cilantro, parsley or basil as desired.

Delicious Creamy Almond Milk

  • 1/3 cup almonds
  • 2 cups water

Soak almonds overnight, then rub the skins off. Put in the blender until pulverized. Strain the milk with a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.

Green Goodness Juice

  • 2 cups packed spinach
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 1/2 inch of ginger
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Just put it through your juicer and serve.

Mixed Veggie Juice

  • 1 tomato
  • 1 stalks of celery
  • 4 large spinach leaves
  • 1 half cup parsley

Just put it through your juicer and serve.

Avocado Apple Smoothie

  • 1 medium avocado
  • 1 peeled and chopped up green apple
  • A squeeze of lemon or lime
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 mint sprigs

Here’s a great smoothie recipe for when you start reintroducing foods like green apple. Simply blend the avocado, green apple, citrus juice and water. Serve with a sprig of mint on top.
