ALIVE Menu Previews
Today's menu is ALIVE: a celebration of your gut as the foundation of longevity. Every dish has been intentionally crafted to nourish your microbiome, reduce inflammation, and support the gut-brain axis.
Papaya Aloe Digestive Green
Focus: Enzymatic Gut Soothing
Papain enzymes from Papaya and aloe's mucilage compounds soothe the gut lining and support digestive motility.
Gentle, easy-to-digest fiber from Cauliflower supports gut integrity and the gut-brain axis — a deeply nourishing bowl designed to restore from the inside out.
A vibrant tart featuring Raspberries rich in polyphenols and Hibiscus for its anti-inflammatory anthocyanins — a beautiful close to the ALIVE experience.
This tropical fruit is more than just sweet; it's packed with natural enzymes and vital nutrients that are crucial for a healthy gut and overall well-being.
Key Benefits
Enzymatic Digestion: Contains papain, a powerful enzyme that helps break down proteins and aids in nutrient absorption.
Gut Lining Soothing: Its mucilage compounds can calm inflammation and protect the delicate lining of your digestive tract.
Motility Support: Contributes to healthy bowel function, ensuring smooth and regular digestion.
Found In
Our refreshing Aloe Papaya Digestive Green beverage, designed for optimal gut soothing and enzymatic support.
Fun Fact!
Papaya was once called the "fruit of the angels" by Christopher Columbus, likely due to its delightful taste and remarkable health benefits.
Aloe Papaya Digestive Green
This tonic is an internal cleanser designed for gut-lining integrity. Aloe Vera provides polysaccharides to soothe the digestive tract, while Papaya delivers papain, a proteolytic enzyme that aids in the breakdown of proteins and metabolic byproducts.
Cube fresh Papaya, peel and slice Cucumber, and extract fresh Lemon Juice.
Blend
Combine the fruit, cucumber, lemon juice, and fresh Mint with water in a blender.
Smooth
Blend until perfectly smooth (approx. 20–30 seconds).
Serve
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a silky texture. Serve chilled over ice to encourage systemic cooling and lymphatic movement.

Key Components
Aloe Vera — Polysaccharides soothe and repair the gut lining.
Papaya — Papain enzyme aids protein breakdown and reduces bloating.
Cucumber — Hydrating silica source that supports cellular detox.
Cauliflower Soup
A foundational purification staple. Cauliflower provides the sulfur-based glucosinolates required for the liver to neutralize environmental toxins. The roasted Shiitake Mushrooms add a hit of beta-glucans to support immune surveillance during the cleansing process.
Shiitake Mushrooms — Beta-glucans modulate immune response and gut flora.
Olive Oil — Oleocanthal reduces gut inflammation and supports absorption.
Citrus Pistachio Quinoa Salad
This salad acts as an internal "broom." Quinoa provides a complete amino acid profile and high fiber content to bind waste in the gut. The Citrus dressing provides Vitamin C to support glutathione recycling, the body's master antioxidant.
Cook Quinoa in vegetable broth until fluffy; let cool.
Dressing
Whisk together Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, Dijon Mustard, and a touch of honey.
Assemble
Toss the quinoa with the dressing, fresh thyme, and chopped Pistachios.
Finish
Fold in dried fruit (like cranberries) for a hit of polyphenols. Serve chilled to maintain crispness and enzymatic activity.

Kimchi Eggs
Eggs are the premier dietary source of Choline, which is essential for the liver to transport and metabolize fat and toxins. The addition of Kimchi introduces live lactobacillus cultures to reset the gut microbiome, which is the seat of the immune system.
Pour eggs into the skillet and allow to set briefly; push back and forth to create large, soft curds.
Integrate
Fold in the fermented Kimchi during the last 30 seconds of cooking to warm it without killing all the beneficial live cultures.

Creamy Garlic Spinach w/ Sautéed Greens
Prebiotics from Garlic and a medley of vegetables feed beneficial gut bacteria, while magnesium-rich Spinach and sautéed greens calm the nervous system and promote restorative sleep — a dish that nourishes both the gut and the mind.
Whisk Polenta into boiling salted water; thicken and chill on a sheet pan until firm. Slice and pan-sear until crispy.
Shrimp
Sear Shrimp in butter with sliced Garlic and shallots until pink and opaque.

Raspberry Hibiscus Tart
A vibrant close to the ALIVE experience. Raspberries are among the richest sources of ellagic acid and polyphenols, which feed beneficial gut bacteria and reduce systemic inflammation. Hibiscus contributes powerful anthocyanins — the same pigments that give it its deep crimson hue — known for their anti-inflammatory and blood-pressure-supporting properties.
Steep dried Hibiscus flowers in hot water for 10 minutes to create a deep, crimson concentrate. Sweeten lightly with maple syrup.
Crust
Press a mixture of Almond Flour, coconut oil, and a pinch of salt into a tart tin. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
Set
Whisk the hibiscus concentrate with agar-agar and pour into the chilled crust. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until firmly set.
Finish
Arrange fresh Raspberries generously over the set tart. Dust with freeze-dried raspberry powder for an intense polyphenol finish.

Apples Crumble Pie
A functional dessert to conclude the purification. Apples are rich in Pectin, a specialized soluble fiber that binds to bile acids in the gut. The Almond Flour and Oat topping provides the healthy fats and fiber needed to prevent a post-meal insulin spike.
Mash fresh Apples with lemon zest, juice, and maple syrup. Place in a baking dish.
Crumble
Mix Oats, Almond Flour, and coconut until combined. Spread evenly over the apples.
Cook
Pressure cook in an Instant Pot (High Pressure, 7 mins) to soften the pectin and preserve nutrients.
