EatCleaner CEO & Founder Mareya Ibramhim LIVE on ABC-KATU Portland

Kick the food cravings, boost your energy levels and even drop pounds in the process. Mareya Ibrahim celebrity chef and author of Eat Like You Give A Fork: The Real Dish on Eating to Thrive, joined us to stress the importance of retraining your tastebuds. Now, more than ever, is the time to do so as we should all be more conscious of what we are putting in our bodies.

Mareya says you don’t have to cut out whole food groups like paleo, keto and Whole 30 diets. She says people have gotten so focused on what to take out versus what to eat, but shares how to create nutritionally-balanced meals that will help retrain your taste buds to crave the foods that boost metabolism, build muscle mass and yes, lose weight – although vibrant health is the real goal.

Build your plate starting with nonstarchy veggies.

In the morning, start with protein and fat and avoid sugary foods to stabilize your blood sugar.

Combine protein, fat, and complex carbs in every meal, focusing on...

Spring cleaning from the inside out

It’s almost time to Spring ahead with our clocks, but is your body in major need of a spring cleaning, too?

Think about this.  As an adult, your small intestine alone is about 23 feet stretched out! There’s a lot of room for food and waste to get trapped. Think about what happens when a drain gets clogged. It makes it very hard for anything to pass and the same goes for your body.  Often times, people then suffer from ‘leaky gut syndrome’, constipation and other associated digestive problems where your body can no longer absorb good nutrients anymore or eliminate efficiently.  The system is proverbially backed up.

That’s a great cue for a cleanse.  By definition, a cleanse is a clean sweep, a way to remove toxins and pollutants.  Now, if only the way to do a cleanse was clear.  If you search for ‘cleanse’ online, you’ll find 1,000 different variations, like fasting, drinking only juices, abstaining from...

An "Appeeling" Way to Boost Nutrition

An Appeeling Way to Boost Nutrition

I love texture in my cooking and enjoy experimenting with different techniques. On a whim, I tried adding a browning banana, peel and all, to my smoothie and I was surprised to find how smooth and frothy it became! And there was no trace of grittiness. I thought, I’m onto something! Plus there’s over 30% more nutrients in the peel than in the fruit alone so double bonus. It saves time when you don’t have to peel all your fruit and veggies first. Even if you have to cut or peel, there are still lots of uses for them.

The impact on the environment is extraordinary. Over 1 billion pounds of banana peels alone end up in landfills every year – in the US alone. When any organic matter starts to break down, it creates methane gas, which contributes to greenhouse emissions. We can do our part to preventing that waste from ever getting into a landfill.

Save the Peels is an initiative – we call it the...

How to get your kids to love veggies

Ask most kids what their favorite food is and 10 times out of 10, it’s not going to be a vegetable. Somewhere between baby food and most children’s menus, when our little ones start making the transition to solid food, things go sideways.
They begin with fruit and veggies – peas, carrots, spinach, green beans and veggie blends yet, somehow, from that point until they reach children’s menu age, the color fades from the plate like a person about to faint.  From a palette of red, orange, green, purple and blue, we introduce white to brown food and somehow forgot all the gorgeous colors we once had. Hot dogs, pizza, hamburgers, chicken nuggets, fried this or that begin to take over because they begin to exercise their will. Ever see a child have a meltdown over having to eat broccoli?  I’ve been there and I can tell you, it’s not pretty.  Many parents give up because it’s just too much work to try and encourage the healthier...
