Matzo Balls Premium PD Recipe

2014-04-08

I grew up enjoying Matzo Ball Soup at Maxwell’s restaurant. Their special was an all you can eat bottomless bowl. My friends and I could never get past three as they were the size of tennis balls, settled like bricks and were filled with eggs and oil. For almost a decade, I have longed for them. Finally, here’s my version, free of all the fat and cholesterol. I’ve perfected the texture and with this recipe mastered, a Protective Diet is now complete for Passover.

    Happy 16 Veganiversary to me. Celebrating with oil free egg free chicken free matzah ball soup. I grew up on this soup loaded with potatoes, celery, carrots, and onions. Lots of parsley and dill. I added some fresh parsley and dill on top. My homemade veggie broth is salt free and better than the store bought. So good. PD Perfection. I made a triple batch this time and made the balls bigger. Julie Marie Christensen you are a genius. Thank you for creating the best vegan matzah balls in the world.

    I made this today after making the Vegetable Broth. I kept laughing while they were cooking, thinking about the video. 🙂 They tasted so good, especially in that amazing broth. I used to love Matzo Ball Soup, but sure didn’t think I’d be eating it on a PD. Thanks for making this so good and so simple, Julie!

Drop in Cholesterol – Thank you protectivediet.com!!!

My cholesterol readings have long been my biggest health issue. I was once tested as high as 333. I have been fighting being 20-50 pounds overweight most of my life. The only thing that ever seemed to lower my cholesterol before this was regular exercise. But, I could never get it below 285. After becoming… Read more or comment “Drop in Cholesterol – Thank you protectivediet.com!!!”

Fasting is not for everyone: My 30 day fasting self challenge

Here are some things I felt during my fast.
1. Freedom. I felt great freedom from food as I knew my meal was not going to be until dinner time. I was able to make breakfast for Loewy, Myra and Cheryl without temptation and I enjoyed doing it. Except for Loewy, I was able… Read more or comment “Fasting is not for everyone: My 30 day fasting self challenge”

I began my PD journey March 1, 2014. It all started because my FB friend posted a food picture from Julie’s website protectivediet.com. Since starting protective diet, I have lost a total of 62 lbs in a little over 9 months! I didn’t really have any health problems before starting my new plant based diet… Read more or comment “Barb B”

I’ve made the effort to plan my meals, to make sure that I always have the ingredients I need at home, and to take… Read more or comment “Denise”

Amazing Results

I am so excited about the changes I’ve seen on PD. I was at my dermatologist this morning for a skin check. I have actinic keratoses (precancerous skin lesions) that have to be frozen every few years. My last visit two years ago resulted in freezing over 30 lesions on my face, forearms and hands.… Read more or comment “Amazing Results”

A few days from being on PD 6 months!

Ally

After studying the oil-free, plant-based, whole food movement for around a year and a half I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I knew I could reverse that from all of the reading I had done. But I had tried going plant-based before and got great results regarding weight loss but I could never last more than… Read more or comment “A few days from being on PD 6 months!”
