Second of a four part series on dessert ingredients by blood type, according to Dr. Peter D’ Adamo who published a book in 1996 titled Eat Right For Your Blood Type .

The book essentially covers the origin of the four blood types and the foods accepted by your body/blood and broken down into Highly Beneficial or food acting as medicine, Neutral or food acting as food and Avoid or food acting as poison. Dramatic, maybe, but gets the point across. 

The book continues with food aligned with blood types A, B, AB and O, positive or negative did not appear to play a part in the theory.

Having breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack throughout the day that matches your blood type is one benefit, but what about desserts that are accepted by a blood type? 

Blood Type A = The Cultivator – settled, cooperative, orderly 

Blood Type B = The Nomad – balanced, flexible, creative

Blood Type AB = The Enigma – rare, charismatic, mysterious 

Blood Type O = The Hunter – strong, self reliant, leader  

Below are a list of ingredients that could be incorporated into a beverage, baked or frozen dessert. There are more ingredients Dr. Adamo lists in his book and is not all inclusive, and I simply wanted to show ingredients that could be creatively put together to make smoothies, baked goods and frozen desserts.

There are numerous sites listing recipes, but this allows you to add or substitute an ingredient to make your perfect dessert. 

The ingredients listed are identified in Dr. D’ Adamo’s book as Beneficial or Neutral (I left our avoid), so making desserts can satisfy the sweet tooth, while being rewarding and at least mentally satisfying. 

Ingredients in order of category and Highly Beneficial to Neutral:

Blood Type B:

Dairy & Eggs: Cottage cheese, goat milk, kefir, mozzarella, ricotta, butter, buttermilk, cream cheese, soy products, whey, whole milk

Oils & Fats: Flaxseed oil

Nuts & Seeds: Almonds, brazil nuts, chestnuts, macadamia, pecans, walnuts

Beans & Legumes: Kidney, navy, fava, tamarind, peas

Cereal: Millet, oat, rice, spelt, granola, cream of rice

Breads & Muffins: Brown rice, ezekiel bread, millet, wasa, gluten free oat bran, pumpernickel, spelt

Grains & Pasta: Oat flour, rice flour, spelt, white flour, quinoa, rice

Fruits: Banana, cranberry, grapes, apples, berries, currants, dates, figs, grapefruit, kiwi, lemons, mangoes, melon, oranges, peaches, pears, prunes, raisins, tangerines

Spices, Sugars & Seasonings: Cayenne, curry, ginger, basil, caraway, cardamom, carob chocolate, clove, honey, maple syrup, oregano, salt

If you accept the theory by Dr. D’ Adamo, then pick and choose ingredients that categorized as beneficial and neutral.

Desserts and treats that are well accepted by you body. Wow you don’t hear that statement often.
