Sweet vegetable drink

Sweet vegetable drink is a widely used macrobiotic home remedy for a wide range of health conditions, including cancer, diabetes and candida infection.

Made from four different types of naturally sweet vegeables – carrot, cabbage, pumpkin and large onion – this drink provides the body with a good source of natural sugar from vegetables.

This has a milder effect on the body compared with refined sugar or even sugar from fruits and fruit juices. Thus, it helps to balance the blood sugar level and leave a comfortable feeling.

It also helps reduce sugar cravings, which is especially important for people with conditions like diabetes and candida infection.

To prepare sweet vegetable drink, you need:
  • 1/4 cup carrot
  • 1/4 cup cabbage
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin or squash
  • 1/4 cup large onion

Grate or finely cut the vegetables.

Add four cups water and bring to the boil. Reduce fire and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes.

Strain and drink only the liquid.


That's all there is.

Simple, isn't it?

Well, the slightly troublesome part is having grate or cut the vegetables finely. But once you get the hang of it, it is not all that troublesome, really.

  1. Do not add any salt of any other seasoning. The drink should be made from just the four sweet vegetables and water.

  2. Once the sweet vegetable drink has been made, either keep it warm in a vacuum flask or store in the refrigerator. Otherwise, because the drink does not contain any salt or preservative, it will turn bad quite quickly.

    You may sip 1/2 to 1 cup of the drink several times a day.

    If you are taking this home remedy to help reverse a health condition, the usual recommendation to take it every day for the first month, every other day for the second month and then about twice a week subsequently.

    If you wish, you may use the pulp to prepare some other dishes, eg mix with flour and seasoning and fry into patties. But frankly, unless you are very creative in coming up with different uses, you will get tired of eating them.

    So don't worry about "wasting" the pulp. The main benefit is in the sweet vegetable drink itself.
