Aloha from Wednesday! ;)

It is a happy day :) This morning I made a delicious breakfast smoothie:

almond milk (soaked almonds overnight)
1 banana
small handful blueberries
1 tsp maca powder
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 Tbsp flax seeds (ground this morning)
1 scoop Alive! brand supplement
3 Tbsp E3-Live
1 capful flax oil w/ vegetarian DHA
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp hemp seeds
mmmmmmmmmmmm yummy and ridiculously filling.

I used the almond meal left over from making milk on my face, with some raw honey.
I am going to be juice-feasting again starting June 22 - for 9 days. Pretty excited about that! And I'm doing lots of promotion for my event in July: Matt Monarch & Angela Stokes (who are about to get married!) will be doing a talk here in Houston about nutrition and the raw food diet...very exciting!

I just started reading a beautiful book: Tree, A Life Story by David Suzuki & Wayne Grady

I love trees!

Dinner last night was fantastic!

We made salad with a dressing of olive oil, black sesame oil, balsamic vinagrette, garlic & lemon; steamed broccoli; and 2 new recipes: Cucumber Arame Salad, thanks to the Renegade Health Show; and a raw-ish vegan Creamy Potato Salad thanks to www.choosingraw.com. The cucumber / arame salad is really bright and summery, and the potato salad - WOW! I can have potato salad again! J. loved it too - just a wonderful dinner - incredibly tasty and 100% healthy!

speaking of learning something new...

I just learned the most amazing thing, while researching how to make cornsilk tea (reputed to dissolve gallstones). Inside the ear of corn, under the husk, there is one strand of cornsilk for each kernel of corn...the silk provides nourishment from the sun for the corn kernels. How wonderful! :)
