Budwig Protocol, Budwig recipes for your daily nutrition
Continuing with our series of blog posts related to recipes to help our readers enjoy delicious food while following the Budwig protocol and diet, we want to provide you with some ideas for lunches.
Remember that at lunchtime your digestive power is at its best! This is the time of day to make sure you get some raw food in your belly. Raw food is highly nutritious but often hard to digest. This is why we want to try and get some raw food in at lunchtime instead of the evening.
For many in the western world, lunch is a bag of some processed food and a soft drink. This is very sad compared with the French and Spanish that stop work for at least 1 hour to enjoy a proper lunch. If you have only 30 minutes though, you can still enjoy a great lunch; it just takes a little preparation ahead of time.
First we will give you some ideas for the raw part of the lunch which should be eaten first:
Guacamole Dressing/Dip
Blend with hand blender:
1 avocado
a little bit of broccoli
salt and garlic to taste
¼ of lemon’s juice
Serve over salad.
Green Salad with Almond dressing
Blend with hand blender or food processor:
1 cup of soaked almonds
1 small clove of garlic
½ lemon’s juice
2 tbsp. oil
½ cup of water
1 tsp. of salt
Serve over salad or use as a dip with veggie sticks.
Hummus
Blend with hand blender or food processor:
1 and 2/3 cups (400 ml) cooked chickpeas (soak overnight, then cook)
1 tsp of ground coriander
1/4 (60 ml) cup olive & sunflower oil
1/4 tsp. paprika
3 tbsp. (45 ml) lemon juice
2 medium cloves of garlic
1 tsp ground cumin
3 tablespoons of sesame seeds
dash of cayenne (optional)
This can be eaten on whole grain, sourdough bread or with veggie sticks.
Lentil Stew
250g of lentils
2 carrots (diced)
1 onion (diced)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
4 tbsp of paprika
3 tbsp. of ground cumin
4 tomatoes
1 red pepper
Cold-pressed vegetable oil
Salt to taste
Boil lentils in water while steaming the carrots and onions. Add garlic and the rest of the spices to the soup when the lentils are soft. Meanwhile cut and chop tomatoes, and red pepper. Add the fresh tomatoes and pepper to your dish at the end then add a drizzle of oil and extra salt if needed.
Spinach Stew With Chickpeas
2 tbsp of coconut oil
2 cloves of garlic (diced)
4 tbsp of paprika
1 tsp of unrefined salt
2 cups of spinach leaves (chopped)
200 ml of cooked chickpeas
10 ml of water
Melt the coconut oil in a wok and add garlic until it browns. Remove from the pan and add spinach, salt, and paprika. Cover the wok and cook the spinach for 5 minutes. Add the chickpeas and water and stir until mixed properly.
Baked Sweet Potato with Budwig Sauce
2 sweet potatoes
6 tbps of quark or cottage cheese
3 tbsp of flaxseed oil
1 tsp of unrefined salt
1 clove of garlic
A handful of fresh dill or parsley (chopped)
Wash the sweet potatoes and cut in 3 pieces. Wrap in vegetable cooking wrap and place in oven at 200º C for 15 minutes or until soft. Meanwhile, blend the quark, garlic and flaxseed oil in the hand blender. Add the salt and fresh herbs and serve as a sauce over the baked sweet potato.
Looking for healthy recipes for my Mom who has cancer. SHe is 71 years old.
Dear Phila,
We include recipes for our cancer patients but meanwhile, if you download our free guide you will see the list of does and don’t when it comes to eating and adjust your regular recipes. To sign up and receive the link to download the guide, go to our home page. Otherwise, we recommend the book: The oil protein diet cookbook
I thought the only oil allowed on the budwig diet was flax oil? I noticed some of your recipes have olive or coconut oil.
Dear Teresa, cold pressed olive oil that is added to a dish and not heated would be very good. Coconut oil is the one used to cook as the other oils should not be heated. Any cold pressed vegetable oil can be used in the Budwig diet but only the flaxseed oil would be used in the muesli.
I love this mixture! I have been spreading it on an organic sprouted grain tortilla and making a veggie wrap with all the lovely veggies … or just adding sprouts and avocado into the whipped mix with salt and pepper … I put it in my garbanzo bean/spinach soup bowl and tonight I just had a baked potato and some steamed broccoli with CC&FSO + turmeric on them both as a dressing! This is good stuff. I just needed to make sure adding it to other dishes and other foods to it wasn’t compromising it’s efficacy.
Thank you for your recipe ideas, that sounds delicious AND healthy!

Hello and thank you for sending us this question. We actually buy the sauerkraut juice, we do not make it ourselves. Can you find it in a health food shop?
Hello from America! What is vegetable cooking wrap as mentioned in the sweet potato recipe?
Hi Ellen, it’s like thin paper and it’s usually white or brown.
I have been attempting to download the guide as well, but no luck. I’d very much appreciate it!
Hi Pete, Thanks for letting us know so we could email it to you and sorry for the inconvenience.
I spent two years on Gerson therapy and a year so far on Budwig. In both cases there is a strong proscription against salt. Now I find it as an ingredient in most of the recipes. This seems like a contradiction. Confusing.
Thank you for this excellent question Lawrence. The confusion is likely because refined salt is an ingredient used in processed food, common in supermarkets and very harmful for our health. Unrefined salt on the other hand provides us with many necessary minerals. This would be sea salt that is not refined. You only need a pinch of this salt as it is very flavourful.
