Add to FavoritesIn 2011 during my time in Brasil, Brasilia city, a friend and colleague who owns a vegetarian sattvik food restaurant called Terraviva invited me to create and improve the recipes at his restaurant. It was an awesome opportunity to introduce some new exotic Asian recipes to the menu. Creating new recipes is always a delightful challenge for any chef, as it involves sourcing new ingredients and flavors. This allowed me to visit the region’s enormous fresh markets to select different fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, herbs, and some ingredients to make the tranquilizer juice.
A few months prior, my friend requested me to help him lose weight, and I set him up on my weight loss detox program, which helped him get from 105 to 90 kilos in 30 days. His new breakfast was now a mix of fresh fruits and vegetable juices. We had fresh passion fruit juice with oranges just before driving to the market on this particular day. On the drive to the market, I caught myself dozing off for a few minutes, which was unusual.
Another Dada who watched me nodding off suggested that the passion fruit juice we had in the morning was responsible and said he felt the same. After doing some research, I discovered that passion fruit is rich in tranquiline, a naturally occurring tranquilizer that causes a calming effect on the entire nervous system.
Continuing from the first paragraph, my friend’s children were impressed with their father’s determination to lose weight and succeed at it. They also participated in the next juice detox program a couple of months later and lost between 13- 15 kgs in 30 days. So try this natural tranquilizer juice and feel it relax your whole body and mind.

Notes
*Tranquiline is present is many natural foods, some of these have a calming effect as well, like Chamomile, Turmeric, Yogurt, Almonds and Blueberries etc. *The agricultural industry uses chemical fertilizer and pesticides to grown most veggies and fruits. One of the way to remove chemical and pesticide at least from the surface of vegetables and fruits is by soaking them in water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 1/2 tables of baking powder and 2 cap full of apple cider vinegar. allow to soak for 20 -30 mins then rinse and use.
