Have you seen the list of foods for stage one and thought Whaaa..?
Have you also had a quick look through the net and found plenty of Candida diet recipes but they all looked way too hard or expensive?

Same here!
In fact I nearly stopped the diet before I had begun!
Most of the Candida diet recipes that are around are hard to fathom unless you are a gourmet chef or really love cooking.
Now I am no Gourmet chef. I have kids, a house to keep and a business to run. In fact the less time that I spend in the kitchen the better.
As a result my kitchen is stocked with really basic stuff.
Seriously.
My regular herbs are garlic, ginger, maybe parsley, a Thai herb mix that ‘MasterFoods’ bring out and if in doubt, add tomato!
So I had a look at what we were allowed, looked at some other Candida diet recipes to get a few ideas on flavors that we were allowed and put together a really simple eating plan – and just varied the flavor with each serving.
Each meal only has a few ingredients – but is really filling.
Candida Diet Recipes for Breakfast
We start the day with a choice of either rolled oats or scrambled eggs.
(servings are for two)
Spicy Rolled Oat Porridge
Make porridge as per the instructions and serve with natural unsweetened yogurt and cinnamon. If you are allowing yourself fruit at this stage then grated apple, pear or berries are soooo yummy with the yogurt and
porridge as well!
Scramble An Egg
4 eggs
½ C water
whisk well
Either pour into lightly greased frying pan and stir constantly until done or microwave uncovered on high for 2 minutes, whisk, cook for another 2 minutes and whisk until done. Add a teaspoon of butter and whisk until it has melted and mixed in.
If you want to turn this into a substantial lunch or dinner meal, then add parsley, peppers, chicken, celery, broccoli……kind of like a frittata without the fritter!
Candida Diet Recipes For Lunch/Dinner
Lettuce leaf wraps - I love this idea!
Get a large lettuce leaf
Fill it with shredded cooked meat, chicken, tuna, salmon etc
Add cucumber, peppers, alfalfa, avocado and other salad type stuff,
Drizzle over some lemon juice or sprinkle over your seasoning of choice
Roll the leaf up and eat!
Twist that Salad!
Get great variety by making up a basic salad of;
Lettuce, peppers, cucumber, avocado etc
When serving throw whatever cooked meat you have on top. One day it could be a chicken salad, the next it could be a lamb salad, the next a tuna salad or one day you could just have it seasoned without meat – gasp!
If you want to get even trickier then alter the topping to suit;
Eg; for my chicken, salmon or tuna salad I love to put a dessertspoon of cottage cheese on top and then drizzle lemon juice over the lot!
For a lamb salad I prefer to grab some of my Thai seasoning and sprinkle that over the cottage cheese.
Another favorite for lamb instead of cottage cheese is to mix mint, garlic and salt in with your natural unsweetened yogurt and drizzle that over everything.
The key here is to keep the salad simple – just 4 or 5 ingredients plus meat.
Soup
Everyone has their favorite vegetable soup recipe.
So make a big batch of it, but do not season it!
Every meal will be different if you serve the soup, add whatever meat you like and then add whatever seasoning suits that meat.
You can have Thai beef soup one night, Home-style chicken the next or Tuscan lamb the next just all from the one batch of soup!
Easy peasy!
Stir Fry Candida diet recipes are the same,
Do a large basic stir fry using your staple broccoli, cauliflower, onion and add one or two leafy greens – silverbeet, spinach, bok choy, cabbage etc. Again, keep it simple.
Once they are done, add different meat and seasonings to taste with each serving.
A hint here is that just because they are stir fried, the seasonings do not have to be Chinese based!
See what happens when you throw in some mustard, an egg or even sweet chili!

Candida Diet Recipes for Desserts
This is the sad part….If you are into dessert but are like me and don’t want to make your own elaborate crumbles or toppings, then you are probably only limited to;
Yogurt with berries or
Yogurt with oats and cinnamon in stage one.
The best idea is to swap dessert for a snack;
Nuts and seeds
Raw veges dipped in hummus or cottage cheese
If you want to bend the rules slightly then rice crackers or yeast, sugar, gluten, etc etc free toast with;
cottage cheese and cinnamon,
tuna/salmon,
hummus as toppings are really, really good to finish the night on.
Flavorings for Candida diet recipes include;
Whole grain mustard
Tomato paste – unsweetened – check the label
Mayonnaise – check the ingredients for store bought
Lemon juice
Lime juice
Herbs
Spices (just make sure that they are mild!)
When looking for food for Candida diet recipes, check your labels, focus on what you can eat and you will be surprised at how easy it is.
