# Ayahuasca Diet Recipes ### Aya-Friendly, Low-Tyramine, Low-Carb Cookbook This cookbook is designed for the **ayahuasca preparation and integration diet**, with one main aim: **support safety and nervous-system clarity** by avoiding foods known to be high in **tyramine** or otherwise risky around MAOI activity. As per the dietary and medical guidelines we have established at [Vine of The Soul Retreats](https://www.vine-of-the-soul.com) - rooted in science. #### The core rules this cookbook follows * **Fresh over aged.** Tyramine rises as foods sit around—especially proteins. Cook and eat fresh; keep leftovers brief and cold. * **No fermented foods** (e.g., sauerkraut/kimchi/pickles, yogurt/kefir, soy/tempeh). * **No pork, no red meat, no processed/aged meats** (salami, pepperoni, corned beef, liver). * **No old/aged cheeses**; if using dairy at all, keep it minimal and choose fresh options. * **No nuts and seeds.** * **No dried/salted fish.** * **Avoid overripe banana and avocado**; limit figs/raisins. * **Minimal spices, no caffeine, avoid herbal stimulants** like ginseng and St. John’s wort. What you *will* see a lot of Fresh vegetables, clean proteins (chicken/turkey/fresh fish/eggs), gentle fats (olive oil), simple herbs, and low-sugar fruit in small portions. *** ## 3) The recipes ### A) 14 mains (low-carb, nutrient-dense, low tyramine) #### 1) Lemon-Herb Chicken Zoodles **Ingredients:** chicken breast, zucchini (spiralized), olive oil, lemon, parsley, salt\ **Steps:** Sear chicken → toss in zoodles 2–3 min → finish with lemon + parsley. #### 2) Turkey & Cauliflower “Rice” Bowl **Ingredients:** ground turkey, cauliflower rice, cucumber, carrot, olive oil, lemon, salt\ **Steps:** Cook turkey → sauté cauliflower rice → top with cucumber/carrot → lemon/olive oil. #### 3) Fresh Cod with Green Beans & Garlic Oil **Ingredients:** fresh cod, green beans, garlic, olive oil, lemon, salt\ **Steps:** Steam beans → pan-cook cod gently → warm garlic in oil (no browning) → lemon finish. #### 4) Egg Drop Spinach Soup **Ingredients:** eggs, spinach, zucchini, clean broth (no yeast extract), salt\ **Steps:** Simmer zucchini in broth → wilt spinach → drizzle beaten egg while stirring. #### 5) Sheet-Pan Chicken & Garden Vegetables **Ingredients:** chicken thighs/breast, zucchini, bell pepper, onion, olive oil, salt\ **Steps:** Toss → bake at 200°C until chicken is done (about 25–35 min). #### 6) Baked Salmon Salad Bowl (Cooked) **Ingredients:** fresh salmon, lettuce, cucumber, olive oil, lemon, salt\ **Steps:** Bake salmon → flake over salad → lemon/olive oil dressing. #### 7) Turkey Lettuce Wraps with Apple Crunch **Ingredients:** ground turkey, romaine leaves, grated apple, cucumber, olive oil, salt\ **Steps:** Cook turkey → wrap → add apple + cucumber → olive oil drizzle. #### 8) “Clean Bolognese” (Chicken + Veg Sauce) **Ingredients:** ground chicken, mushrooms, zucchini, fresh tomato, olive oil, salt\ **Steps:** Sauté mushrooms/zucchini → add chicken → add fresh tomato → simmer 5–10 min.\ Serve over zucchini ribbons. #### 9) Gentle Coconut-Veg Stew (Minimal Spice) **Ingredients:** coconut milk, zucchini, carrots, chicken (optional), salt\ **Steps:** Simmer veg in coconut milk → add cooked chicken → salt only (or tiny turmeric if you want). #### 10) Turkey & Zucchini Meatballs (No breadcrumbs, no nut/seed flour) **Ingredients:** ground turkey, grated zucchini (squeezed), egg, salt, olive oil\ **Steps:** Mix → form → bake 15–20 min at 200°C (or pan-cook gently). #### 11) Chicken “Congee” (Low-Carb Comfort Bowl) **Ingredients:** chicken, cauliflower rice, water/broth, salt\ **Steps:** Simmer chicken until tender → add cauliflower rice 5–8 min → salt to taste. #### 12) Stir-Steamed Veg + Chicken (Soft, Ceremony-Friendly) **Ingredients:** chicken breast, broccoli, zucchini, carrot, olive oil, salt\ **Steps:** Steam veg → quickly sauté chicken → combine with olive oil + salt. #### 13) White Fish & Zucchini “Papillote” (Baked in paper) **Ingredients:** fresh white fish, zucchini ribbons, lemon slices, olive oil, salt\ **Steps:** Wrap in baking paper → bake 12–15 min at 190°C → open like a present. #### 14) “Mineral Plate” (Steamed Veg + Olive Oil + Lemon) **Ingredients:** broccoli, carrots, zucchini, olive oil, salt, lemon\ **Steps:** Steam → dress → eat when your system wants calm more than complexity. *** ### B) 7 breakfasts (low-carb, low tyramine, gentle on the system) #### B1) Soft Eggs + Sautéed Spinach **Ingredients:** eggs, spinach, olive oil, salt\ **Steps:** Soft-boil eggs → sauté spinach in olive oil → salt. #### B2) Turkey Breakfast Patties (No spice blend) **Ingredients:** ground turkey, grated zucchini (squeezed), egg, salt\ **Steps:** Mix → form patties → pan-cook on medium until done. #### B3) Mushroom & Zucchini Omelette **Ingredients:** eggs, mushrooms, zucchini, olive oil, salt\ **Steps:** Sauté mushrooms/zucchini → add eggs → fold. #### B4) Cauliflower Hash + Poached Egg **Ingredients:** riced cauliflower, onion (optional), egg, olive oil, salt\ **Steps:** Pan-crisp cauliflower (medium heat) → poach egg → combine. #### B5) Chicken Breakfast Broth (Yes, breakfast soup) **Ingredients:** shredded chicken, zucchini, carrot, broth/water, salt\ **Steps:** Simmer veg → add chicken → salt.\ (Shockingly good when people feel sensitive.) #### B6) Cottage Cheese Cucumber Bowl (Optional / “Not for strict last-3-days”) **Ingredients:** fresh cottage cheese, cucumber, olive oil, salt\ **Steps:** Mix → drizzle olive oil.\ Your guidelines allow *fresh cottage cheese* but also say to **limit dairy**, especially closer to ceremony.
