Doughnuts

Hi ,

Doughnuts joyfully embrace their role as one of the most toxic fresh foods on the planet. Nobody in his or her right mind even pretends that eating a doughnut is good for you on any level. Doughnuts are basically bleached white flour, sugar, and rancid oil – yum. Why oh why do they taste so good? The gluteomorphins in the flour are directly addictive to the brain, as is the sugar. I don’t know why we love the taste of rancid polyunsaturated oils, but we do in a big way.

Why would I torture you with such an obvious value conflict – taste versus health? What if I told you I actually found a healthy doughnut? More than that, what if I told you that you didn’t have to make it yourself, but could buy it at a doughnut shop? Well, I have.

I was searching the web looking for a place to go for lunch in Roseville that had gluten-free food for an Easter get together with my mom and sister after we went to the Gem & Mineral Show at the Roseville fairgrounds. A place popped up in the search called Dr. Bob’s Doughnuts. While not exactly a lunch place, it piqued my curiosity. Doughnuts and gluten free don’t usually go together – like never.

I went to their website and proceeded to get seriously excited. Dr. Bob, a real doctor, started making healthy brownie and baking mixes for his patients to help them get off their toxic foods and onto something that might support their health. I could relate, as I have been doing the exact same thing for many years now. The difference is someone (probably a patient of his) decided to take his baking mix creation and turn it into “The World’s Healthiest Doughnuts.” They opened up a little shop in old Roseville about a year ago and are still in business. Great ideas often have a hard time transitioning into the real world.

Check out the ingredients in the blonde mix used for some of the doughnuts:

Sprouted Brown Rice Flour
Yellow Pea Protein Powder
Golden Milled Flaxseed
Coconut Flour
Hemp Protein Powder
Sprouted Brown Rice Protein
Cinnamon Powder
Maca Powder
Moringa Powder
Green Tea Powder
Turmeric Powder
+ Dr. Bob's VitaRise
(potassium bicarbonate, calcium
phosphates, probiotics)

Have you ever seen such ingredients in a doughnut? These are not only gluten free, dairy free, egg free, and nut free, but notice the addition of super foods like the Maca, Moringa, Turmeric, and Green Tea. Also amazing is the use of sprouted brown rice flour. Sprouted flour is a whole different creature from regular flour.

The next amazing thing is that these doughnuts are steamed, not fried in a big vat of toxic hot oil. The resulting creation is only 90 calories of high-powered nutrition. Naturally my first thought was that these things must taste terrible like so many other healthy attempts at favorites, like cookies, I’ve tried from the store. None-the-less I was determined to give these guys a try.

Two other concepts that are unique to Dr Bob’s is the idea of topping your doughnut with healthy sauces, fruit, and crunchies – 35 different choices. Also available is something they call a Doyo – a coconut milk frozen yogurt on top of the doughnut. I love it. I have never seen coconut milk frozen yogurt, other than what I have made up for myself at home.

So after the Gem show we all trotted over to Dr Bob’s to give this place a try. It hides in a funky little space in an odd area of old town Roseville – across the tracks from the better known old Roseville along Vernon street. Dr. Bob’s is on Lincoln Street near where Main Street intersects it. They are only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays till 5:30 or 6.

Your first step is to choose a doughnut flavor from the many different choices in the steamer cabinet. The doughnuts themselves have no or low sugar. The toppings will add sugar if you go for lots of fruit. I put a little caramel sauce on the doughnut and some vanilla frozen coconut milk yogurt, followed by a generous scoop of cashew whipped cream and some blueberries. I skipped the crunchy department as I didn’t want the extra carbs. I could have dumped on a bunch of chia seed pudding and a ton of other choices, but I was happy with my selections. Pricing is simply by weight. I think mine was about $4.50.

To my great surprise my doughnut was actually tasty. Most of the sweetness comes from a sugar replacement Dr. Bob has created, similar to my Dr Dave sugar – only his is six times as sweet as sugar and made with raw cane sugar, stevia, and lo han. The yogurt was also delicious, enough so that I went back for seconds of just the yogurt.

All in all we were all very happy with our dessert experience and will definitely return again. It is so nice to feel like you can have a tasty sweet treat that is actually good for you. It is doubly nice that you don’t have to bake it up yourself and have all those choices stored in your fridge. So two thumbs up for Dr. Bob’s Doughnuts.

Enjoy,

David

Ellen update:

At some point in the process of recovery the patient has to let go of seeing themselves as injured and take up the tasks of useful participation with life. Ellen and I make a big pot of soup every week to feed ourselves with during the next week. In spite of the awkwardness of a lame left hand, Ellen cuts and prepares the vegetables for the soup while I cut them up with the food processor and add them to the soup pot. We usually use 8 to 10 pounds of vegetables to give us enough for breakfast and lunch most days of the week.

On the Wire

Baby's DNA altered by smoking

Everybody knows smoking is a bad idea, but that does not stop millions of people from smoking anyway. Smoking is completely taboo for pregnant mom's to be. New research shows that smoking actually alters the baby's DNA to create the same type of genetic damage the mom is getting. To this point the main reason given to mother's-to-be for not smoking is because it increases miscarriages. Now we know the consequences are far worse.

Sweet high fat foods trigger cravings for days

New research is showing that just one exposure to sweet high fat foods will trigger cravings for more of those foods for several days. That is why that sweet indulgence Friday night turns into an all weekend binge. We are genetically wired to seek out calorie dense foods to aid our survival in a world that normally has very few such foods. So our brain says "if you find sweet high fat foods, eat as much as you can as long as you can so we can store the calories for later when there is nothing good around".

Mass Extinctions

Every 27 million years our planet experiences mass extinctions of lifeforms on the planet due to meteor showers smashing into the planet and wiping things out. Over the years scientists have gradually ruled out various explanations for this until now only one answer remains - our solar system has a big planet we don't know about, about 10 times the size of the earth but a 1000 times further from the sun. Every 27 million years it passes through the big asteroid belt around the sun kicking lots of the asteroids into the inner rings around the sun where they end up smashing into the inner planets like ours.

Our address is 9725 Fair Oaks Blvd.
Our hours are M - F 9 to 1 and M, Tu, & Th 3 to 6

Finding the new location is very easy. Coming from highway 50 up Sunrise Blvd, you turn left and go up a block. We are on the right hand side - the building just past the Subway Sandwich shop. If you are coming down Sunrise from the Mall area then just turn right on Fair Oaks Blvd and up a block on the right.

If you are coming from the Roseville area you could come down Sunrise Blvd, but that is a long trek. It is probably shorter time wise to come down Auburn Blvd - San Juan Ave like you have been for the Sunset office, but instead of turning left at Sunset, keep going straight 3 more lights to Fair Oaks Blvd and turn left. Go down 2 lights to New York Ave, go through the intersection, and immediately turn into the turn lane once the center divider ends. We are on the left.
